    Qld 8-174.

    Surprised you can't believe it HT - that's the norm up there

    Yeah, but 104 ? And were 7/33 ?! Terrible.

    Wow, that must be a wet spongy wicket!!!

    2 more scalps tomorrow....

    Yeah, see, always take note of the wicket and conditions as well as the forecast when deciding the toss WYL. There's more evidence right up your alley.

    Sachin Tendulkar has just scored the highest score for a male in One-Dayers. He is currently 195 not out with India 3/345

    So what is the highest for female in One Dayers ? :P;)

    Unbelievable stuff from Tendulkar. The man knows no limits.

    Queensland 9/209. Hartley's out, but we've only got 42 runs to play with, so we need to wrap this up quickly. This Swan guy seems to be pretty capable with the bat. Gotta win this.

    Edit: Not good. 9/226. 32 run partnership already. Ach, this is going to be close...

    Edit: Rain delay now! 9/231, this is going to go down to the wire.

    Edit: This is over now I feel: 9/241

    Edit: It's over! 9/252. A 58 10th wicket partnership between their number 10 and 11s gets them the win, our first outright Shield loss in a couple of years, and they close the gap. Bad loss, really. Why McDonald didn't bowl himself I'll never know.

    9/244. Come on Vics!

    Sorry to ruin it for you 45. You following on Cricinfo? For some reason they don't do Shield matches, so they take scores off cricket.com.au

    Points Table:

    Victoria 8 4 1 0 3 0 30

    Queensland 8 4 1 0 3 0 26

    Tasmania 8 2 2 0 4 0 17

    South Australia 8 2 3 0 3 0 16

    New South Wales 8 2 3 0 3 0 14 1

    Western Australia 8 1 5 0 2 0 12

    So whilst we're already guaranteed to make the final (Tasmania can only get 12 points max from their last 2 games), we could well end up second, and thus playing the final in Brisbane.

    Last 2 games are vs Western Australia at the WACA and Tasmania at the MCG. We're going to be down on numbers for both matches, but you'd still back us in to win both.

    Edit: This is our first loss in a 4-day game since the 3-6 March 2008 vs Western Australia.

    Cannot believe their last wicket stand. It's a sad day.

    On the bright side they can still secure a home final. Now they've got to get up for the one-dayer on Sunday. This loss may have knocked the stuffing out of them though. I heard Clint McKay talk before, they're shattered.

    C'mon VICS....I want them to get the clean sweep.

    Anyone seen the Aussies & Kiwi's play that Twenty/20 on that ground last night which resembles the size of a postage stamp ?

    McCullum went nuts.

  • Quote

    What a T20!

    First there was McCullum's 116*, second highest score ever and only the second century in T20s. Some of those 'Dilscoops' he played were phenomenal, some came of Tait bowling at 155km/h!

    Then we had White hit 64* off just 26, as we chased down 214.

    And then we had Southee bowl yorker after yorker, first in the regular game, then in the super-over.

    If soccer is boring, what do people make of cricket.

    If you count how much time the ball is actually in play/live, you might get a good 20 minutes of action a day. Not bad. Sit for 7 hours for one day and watch 20 minutes of action. Multiply that to 5 and happy days when you get a draw.

    Def unpredictable results in cricket too. Shocked we squeezed past the Windies and Chokeistan.

  • Quote

    And here we were thinking that the West Indies were on the path to improvement...

    They've just been beaten by Zimbabwe. Yes, Zimbabwe. A team that plays the majority of its cricket against Bangladesh. Not to mention having no functioning home, and very few international-quality players. And the Windies had Benn, Chanderpaul and Gayle back in their team.

    Hopefully in the Test arena they remain competitive, but their recent ODI and T20 matches have been abysmal.

    Vics lead by 19 runs in 2009/10 Sheffield Shield against WA.

    Vics are 3/94 (1st innings 199) after bowling WA out for 274.

    Jewell 36*

    McDonald 10*

    Go Vics. Need outright win (max. points) to host final against QLD.

    We're in massive trouble now. 5/133, a lead of only 58 runs.

    Losing Hussey to the third ball of the day hurt. Losing Jewell and McDonald as well has basically killed us.

    We desperately need Quiney, Wade and Hastings (very much an improved all rounder who may find himself playing for Australia soon) to get our lead to 200. Hopefully our bowlers can make some inroads, because we need the 6 points from this match.

    I'd back Wade to be a nuisance for WA, he shows a bit of G&D in the middle. Fingers crossed. If they can somehow get to a lead of 175+, it's game on.

    Well, well, well. Wade is in fact being a nuisance for WA it turns out. Our lead now currently 157 runs with :-

    Wade 60* (not out) 9 x 4's ; 1 x 6.

    Hastings 29* (not out)

    Go Vics.

    edit: we've lost our 7th wicket. 7/262. Lead is now 192 runs !! at Drinks.

    and Damien Wright is cutting lose. 30 off 19 balls with 5 fours and 1 six.

    Wade 65 runs

    Wright 30 runs

    at this stage fingers crossed for a lead of 230+..??

    Not exactly sure how my post was 'carp'. When you lose your 5th wicket, and you lead by just 50 runs, that's not a good position to be in. Considering our last two innings have been for scores of 199 and 104, things weren't looking good.

    Wade and Wright obviously fixed things for us, and brilliant they were. To get to 378 after being 5/111 was a sterling effort. Pity neither got to 100 though.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
