Australian Domestic Cricket

Easy 50 for Hodge against WA, his form is just untouchable. A big partnership is in the works between he and Hussey, as is so often the case. It could also be interesting to see the young trio of Finch, Hill and Wade. Michael Hill was a very, very highly rated u-19, but he has had to really scrap for game time thus far.

50 to Hussey now, WA being utterly dominated by this partnership which has passed the 100 mark.

With the finishing power Victoria have, they should get 300 easily from here.

Cooper out early again, he hasn't kicked on like I wanted him so far.

The parternship is broken, Hussey holes out to Doropoulos, sporting a sharp beard, at long on, a wicket to the bowling of North. Finch has a bit of expectation to live up to here, but first he'll want to get Hodge ten runs.

Well done Hodgey, such a shame he never gets a look in for the National team.

Another hundred to Brad Hodge.

IMO they should aim for 300 from this big platform.

tbh, I think the score they have now is a questionable target for WA.

Hodge is just untouchable isn't he. When he's in form (Which is always ) there's just no stopping him.

Looks like Finch is going well, its nice seeing him making runs. WA will need Ronchi to fire if they are going to reach this total.

Close lbw shout by Noffke, but no, he gathers the ball and runs Brad Hodge out at his end! Well played.

Finch mistimes a low full toss to deepish straightish mid on. Goodish catch, but softish dismissal. Two left handers in, two 21 year olds, too.

angryangy added 6 Minutes and 35 Seconds later...

Matthew Wade is caught, a one hander on the fence by Tom Moody! The wicket keeper is coming alive here.

angryangy added 3 Minutes and 49 Seconds later...

This is quite a display.

Wade isn't out is he? Because he's in SENSATIONAL form here today. Hope he get can his 50. Not even 20 deliveries yet!

I'm guessing Cricinfo is a tad bit slow here.

 

[angryangy]

Finishes on 49 from 19 balls, unfortunately Noffke had the good sense to take Dorey out of the attack.

 

[Robelinda]

Take a bow, WADE! Sensational hitting, 2 of those 6's were enormous. I really like this kids batting.

 

[iridescentt]

He nearly had 50 in his grasp. Great knock from Wade. Victoria have set up a big target here. Reckon' WA can chase it down?

Matthew Wade, bloody brilliant. Don't really like him.....

Stiff not to get his 50, would have been one of the quicker ones in our domestic history, I think............

 

[angryangy]

Hill wasn't bad for his 12 either, looked pretty classy and when you have a guy connecting with the big hits, you do need the guy down the other end to keep his head and push for one or possibly spare him the trivial task of having to defend a good ball.

Excellent innings in all, should be something they can defend, although bowling is not their strong suit right now. They'll need Pattinson, Hastings and McGain to take wickets, but they'll also need the part timers to stay on target.
