Ups to the Vixen - at least they aren't playing for the draw:

Over 58.4: Cutting to Finch, FOUR, guided down through backward point.
Over 58.3: Cutting to Finch, no run, played and missed outside off.
Over 58.2: Cutting to Finch, FOUR, short, slogged over deep cover.
Over 58.1: Cutting to Finch, FOUR, driven through deep cover.

Aye. h might even be excited enough to service the Matron tonight. Cool

But well played, the Viles. They want to do it in style.

Congrats Victoria.

It doesn't seem right that Qld, NSW and Vic should be allowed to compete on equal terms with the others, when the least of them is twice as big (pop) as the biggest of the others.

Could NT be drafted in to help WA, NZ be assigned to Tas, and maybe ACT, Anarctic Territory and Christmas Island be invited to help out SA?

Nikki nailing the Banjos coffin shut.

Impressive stuff from the Viles top order in the 2nd innings. 70, 73, 63, 144* and 65* for 3-433 to be a lazy 481 in front.

Great commentary! Just stories and anecdotes, rather than commenting on the lifeless game.

by JGK on Fri 19 Mar 2010, 18:13

Surely Vic can feel safe in declaring.

by skully on Fri 19 Mar 2010, 18:18

Why would they bother? If Qld can bat for 3 days for 900 in a Final, why wouldn't the Viles?

The format of the shield final needs to change. There's more often than not going to be dull cricket when one team only needs to draw the match in order to win the shield.
