Shield Final

[Happy Days]

Re: Shield Final

Vics have won the toss and are batting:

0/10

With Hopes & Laughlin opening the bowling you would expect the Vic's to bat for 2 days.

What? Two "international standard" bowlers like them?

That'd just about get us the trophy then I'd imagine.

Yep. Still would take a great bowling effort which i can't see happening.

Both are medium pacers at best.

Hopes bowls 2nd or 3rd change for the OD team. Laughlin has been brought into the Australian team on the back of some good performances playing this same role for the QLD team.

Neither are frontline bowlers.

I reckon if there was an hours rain this morning it could force a long delay. Just back from a walk and while the clouds are high they are still grey enough to suggest there will be some rain today.

Re: Shield Final

No rain today please. We have the opposition on toast in my local final but they finished on top by percentage so if they can hold out for a draw we are out.

Even if QLD run through us this morning they have to face the best bowling line up in the comp and dominate them. Wont happen.

Re: Shield Final

2 days to go and it would take one and a half for QLD to even catch our first innings and thats if they even can.
Considering they have to beat us outright and more rain expected.
The Sheffield shield is ours!

Re: Shield Final

It's a shame about the rain really because I'm confident that we would have beaten them anyway.
