As the Sheffield Shield race for a home final intensifies, VIC have drawn first blood in the battle of the founding teams.
The Tap of Massies are off to a flyer at 0/150 with DiVenuto leading the way with 96(118) in his second last match in Australia. Tragically Ballbag Bollinger is unavailable due to a foot injury and his penetration is being deerly missed. Curiously we choose to bowl on a flat track, sure Katto has a plan….
Meanwhile the Mexican’s with mobiles have struck early against the Westies with dangerman Langer falling lbw to Wise. Chris Rogers is off to a solid start however, and once he makes 20 he could be the very NSWelshman we need to stick around to hurt em.
Update: The stars are aligning – Rogers has come good and moved on to 44(69) taking the NSW rejects to 1/84. And Thornley’s taken a wicket so the Map of Tassies are 1/160 with DiVenuto on 102(131).
well. looks like both NSW and VIC will vbe chasing 400odd. Firt innings points will be vital
Down to the last round then. Good to see Cam White’s bowling contribution in the first innings was a 7.5/over spanking. Making up for it in the second dig though.
