What did he do/say?

Disgruntled Victoria captain Peter Handscomb lamented South Australia's refusal to set up a final-day run chase in their Marsh Sheffield Shield clash, as the match he labelled "boring" and "pointless" descended into farce on Saturday.

"We were trying to get a game going – we thought 350 off 80 overs was going to be a fair target to chase," said the home side’s skipper.

"We couldn't come to an agreement on a pretty flat wicket. We thought that (our offer) was fine but turns out it wasn't. Eighty overs still isn't long enough to get 10 wickets but it sure as hell is long enough to get 350 runs, which we thought was pretty good."

Asked if he was annoyed, Handscomb said: "Yes … just annoyed the game is dead on day three.

"We've got two more sessions tomorrow of dead cricket, I've got to put my bowlers back out there and tie my (shoelaces) for a pointless game.

"We're all going to walk away from here with a draw, whereas we could have been competing for something tomorrow. Both teams could have been competing for a win tomorrow. Now it's just going to fizzle out for a draw.

"We'll shake hands at tea, tell everyone thanks for coming, sorry for such a boring game of Shield cricket… they come here and get a draw and that's it. Normally we beat them."
