Moomoo cup – Day 3 session 3

Posted on by

Buggered if I know wtf the mighty Bluetongues are thinking. The recent flurry of wickets have all been lost with what appears to be a goal of having a bowl tonight? The IPL doesn’t start for a few weeks, so I’m not quite sure why they want to wrap this game up with a day to spare.

Our leads approaching 400 now, which you’d back the Vics to get in 4 sessions. There’s 6.5 sessions left, so why are we throwing our wickets away? The Bluetongues had been trotting along at a very respectable 3.6 an over, I’d have been happy to do that to stumps then come out blazing tomorrow morning.

I’m all for attacking cricket, and when it comes to the pre-declaration slog I’m it’s biggest fan.. however I’m not going to be comfortable with less than a 600 run lead, lest we forget.

Anyone have any clues as to why we accumulated through the 70-79th overs, then as soon as that new rock came out Clarke saw red and started belting every ball for 4.

First step was to run out Kattich on 92, poor bloke hasn’t had enough centuries to celebrate this year, what with that 1506 runs he’s scored.

Then he tries what sounds like a Courtney Walsh special – “Clark looking to attack, backs away and looks to cut it through the off side, gets the edge to Crosthwaite behind the wicket” to bring about his own undoing, and exposing two new batsmen to the new ball.

Haddin figures anything pup can do I can do better, playing on for 4 off 3 balls. Now it’s up to specialist batsman Beau Casson and Dominic Thornley to try and reserrect our half-gig total. Then we can slog.

NSW vs VIC….. vs TAS vs WA

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).

Day 2, Top of table clash

Posted on by

The mighty Bluetongues are in a decent position in their Shield clash against the mexicans.

The situation was looking dire the first session yesterday with the mexicans taking two quick wickets and having us at 2/2. Fortunately Kattich came to the rescue along with 43′s from Mail and Haddin.

With a few overs to go he declared at 9/253, a worringly low first innings total that immediately paid off with one wicket before stumps.

Today’s seen regular wickets with the mexican’s now at 3/118 after Hodge recently departed. Unfortunately Hussey mark 2 is still in so we’ll need to clean up his wicket before cracking out the Moet.
