    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.

    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.

    How depressing..that little [censored] back in the spot light...it's just wrong.

    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.

  • Quote

    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.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
