Concerning....

Need to hold here a bit now.

We are 20min from lunch.. if Weatherald doesn't throw it away, we probably creep to lunch without losing a wicket - then we are in a stronger position after the break to play more expansive at least.. now we are batting to survive till lunch

Play straight ffs

We need to find at least another 100 runs.

Hopefully Mennie can support Ross from here

backs to the wall now

Come on lads, another 80 to 100 will be more than enough

Wobbling a little here...

If Mennie gets out it's almost better that Ross does what White did yesterday when batting with the tail - slog and pile a few runs on.

Ross out in the last over before lunch.. 7/206.. in big trouble.

Wonder if Weatherald is feeling stupid about his shot now

VIC spinners have taken 10 out of the 17 wickets..

How many wickets has our spinner taken..

Spinner doing the damage and we left ours out.
Some controlled lower order slogging required now, new ball due too shortly.

The key will be batting until tea to give Worrall and Mennie two cracks at them before too much damage is done on the scoreboard given that Sayers is unlikely to bowl. An hour today and an hour in the morning. If we have to bowl for 3 or more hours today its too many overs that Opie and Head have to bowl

New ball is due now isn't it?

Weatherald's dismissal would appear to be a turning point in this game...

Exactly, well batted Jake - tough call, but that shot cost us the Shield!

Be defending 170 I think, no Sayers, GONE!

Yep, lost 3/9 just before Lunch. Him and Ross were doing it so easily till he threw it away.

Sad face time

Maybe in another effing 20 years

5 of ya Top 7 batsmen making 16 or less aint gonna win ya too many games.
Out selected
Out played
Simple as that.

Future does look bright tho, i'd expect a Shield title in the next few years.

Terrible, terrible shot. Absolutely ridiculous! Just got dropped the shot before going for the slog, then tries the same thing next ball. What was he thinking! That sort of shot changes the game, and I bet we struggle to get a 200 lead now.

Granted, Jake batted well and is a young lad, but seriously Jake, WTF!!

It starts the collapse see, Carey out. Bloody idiots!

F***!!!

That shit belongs at Tambling Tce (0810) not Brighton Rd (5045) or Temira Cres (0800)
