Bad start for Victoria with Hopes getting Rogers and Mash out early, but Jewell and Finch are rebuilding. 2/115

Good win for the vics.

Check out the India South Africa scorecard - SA almost pulled off one of the most unlikely of wins.

South Africa's team seems unbalanced. Not enough batsmen. Like Duminy, Albie Morkel's not playing anywhere near as well as he did against us.

    been at the Gabba for the test match . Bigg crowd (around 100) , Jewell,Wade played real well. Lets hope the lower order can get to around 450-500

    Also Hughes must be near getting back into test side maybe for Ashes revenge on England who lost to Pakis in 20 /20

    Only player worthy of getting dropped at the moment is North. So unless either Hughes is willing to bat at 6, or the selectors wish to risk a lot by splitting the highly successful opening pair of Katich and Watson, Hughes isn't getting back in any time soon.

    Agree. Watson was the ACB Cricketer and 1 day cricketer of the Year. Katich was the Test Player of the Year Award. Go figure

    Sadly that was the most lifeless and Dull summer of cricket (international) i have ever seen.

    For the first time ever i am glad it's over. I hope it is just a blip on the Radar & not a long term decline in interest.

    Interesting times ahead for the Bat & Ball.

    Oh dear God...

    Victoria, recommencing on 1/4 with a lead of 150, are currently 9/89. Yes, 9 down. At one stage it was 7/33. To think that if we'd bowled Queensland out for just 4 runs less we could (and probably would) have enforced the follow on.

    This is such an important match, and we may have blown it. The lead is currently 235. 70 short of what we need, but some disciplined bowling should hopefully give us a chance. A massive 10th wicket partnership would help.

    I cannot believe it !

    We've "set" them 251. All out for 104.

    Apparently it was overcast with plenty of moisture - plenty of swing happening

    An outright win will guarantee a home final. We already have 2 points from the first innings.

    Cripes How could you hit 194 in a single innings and lose to Bangladesh?

    That would be enough to bring forth the dreaded Grog Monster onto your career. No wonder we haven't heard of charles!!

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
