Australian Domestic Cricket 2025-26 - 2 x titles to defend!

I think Sangha could do with some time at the crease, so they shouldn't call it while he's out there.

As UK said, might as well try to fatigue the Vic bowlers.

Or try and charge down the pitch to smash it back into Boland's shins.

F@#king hope not

Who would you drop for Pope? (Remember Doggett didn't play in the last match.)

If they think it's going to be a raging turner then maybe he's a chance, but I don't know that that's the case.

McAndrew definitely plays, so be out of Buckingham or Thornton to miss if they play Pope. With Liam Scott the four quicks has worked all year so can’t see them changing that. McSweeney can bowl some spin and has habit of getting a wicket when needed.

[The Bedge]

Buckingham wont miss, he's been excellent.

So you'd have to think then, unchanged lineup and Pope carries the drinks again... spinners going the way of the Dodo bird.

[RB]

Pope, Thornton and Nielsen were all unlucky last year not to play in the Shield final last year after their contributions throughout the season (although all three did play in the One Day final).

If unchanged from the last match then Thornton at least gets his chance.

Too watch it rain all day ?

F**K Melbourne weather Rain forecast Wednesday Thursday and Friday so appears that it well could be a 1st Innings Result that decides the Shield

Toss will be vital as i'd imagine theres a good chance whoever wins the toss will bowl 1st
