Cricket Part II

Easily done by the Vics. Can see why these two sides are bottom of the Shield, some very average cricketers out there.

Didnā€™t they play off in the final last year?

The last 2 years we have met in the final but both look very ordinary this year. Neither side will be making it this year I think

Not a great return for the touring squad members during that round of SS matches. Only Hanscomb and MMarsh doing anything of note.

Itā€™s wide open:

Four more matches for everyone.

Tough for him coming off the way the selection was handled and then strugggling in the shield match.

England play the Kiwis this afternoon with Australia already in the final. Wouldnā€™t mind seeing England play is in the final at Eden Park but three matches to go before weā€™ll know.

Kiwis 5-196, steep chase there

T20 on tonight, Aus v NZ. Playing on one of those joke Kiwi postage stamp grounds. Edges and mishits racing to the fence. We will be chasing well in excess of 200 at this rateā€¦

Would be more fun if they had low scores and less boundries?

Could be a ripper

Commentators seem to have forgotten that the Kiwis had about 4 French cut and nicked fours in the first 3 overs.

Looks like weā€™ll successfully chase 244 to win, has to be a record chase surely

Yep, record run chase, did it with more than an over to spare.

Wow!

Iā€™m not sure how you could lose that after posting 243, but there you go.

Saw an over or two and reckon my backyard is bigger than Eden Park.

Tiny ground. Itā€™s like when they used to do the one day domestic cup at North Sydney oval - 350 there is about 260 at MCG.

Thereā€™s one or two tiny ones in RSA too.
