Day 3 session 2 of the Victorian match and Queensland are bowled out 203 runs behind. But Victoria is not enforcing the follow on. Why the hell are they not enforcing the follow on? Ridiculous. All they're doing is giving Queensland an opportunity to win or draw the match. Send them back in, bowl them out for 250-300 and you chase 50-100 for Victory. But now we have to score at least 150 runs in 30 odd overs, so Queensland have an opportunity to chase them down and win or at least bat the match out. Ridiculous decision.

What the hell happened to NSW? Probably a good thing Fox Sports decided to show rubbish soccer and golf instead.
If Henriques hadn't recovered from his injury in time, we would've struggled to reach 100. D. Smith must've been watching Bangladesh last night with his 18 off 58.

Really should have played KP, would love to see how he would go in this format. One problem is our captain doesn't even deserve to be in the OD team and the one out injured likewise.

Yeah 
Something like Jaques, Maddinson, Patterson, Katich (c), S. Smith, Henriques, Nevill/Smith, Hauritz, Copeland, Hazlewood, Lalor/Doran looks pretty good to me. Starc of course when available, Bollinger when he's fit.. probably forgetting other obvious choices with the shedload of talent we have.
Maybe scratch Copeland from that ODD list for the next match, even if Starc and Bollinger aren't available.
and playing NSW
His best of 6/23 was against us back in 2008.

Oh it worked! Was figuring Maxwell was on to make him slog, because otherwise it didn't look like they were going to defend him out of it.

Cutting could do the damage though.
----------
Cutting had a slap to long off. McKay holds his head, he's dropped one. Herrick to bowl the last over, 5 runs to win, or two wickets.
----------
Herrick fancying the short one, don't let that be your undoing!
----------
Short again, they run a bye, throw to the bowler's end for the run out, it was on but Herrick's dropped it!
----------
Two runs, two balls and they could have had their two wickets for sure.
----------
Bowled'im! One ball to go, what a finish!

Would have been funny if they'd gone for the second, but it was more suicidal than Ashwin last week. They needed to offer a long single to get them to try for the second and I think by the way White set his field he was hoping to see one.
Queensland showed how good they are by taking on a very different kind of game, but they were stoic at first and then went on the attack as they so often do. At tea, a win seemed a mile away, but they thundered through it only to fall away under the pressure of the last few overs. The Vics were perhaps a bit poor to get into that position, but they seemed just a shade more comfortable in a sticky endgame.
You could argue that White should have enforced the follow on and I don't dare suggest that it wouldn't have been safer, but I think Queensland would only have scored more runs. Although White picked up a rare bag, Herrick was the go-to man in both digs and if he'd been asked to bowl 50 on the trot, they'd have been broken that much easier. The game turned difficult for Victoria when they let Queensland's last two wickets produce 100 runs. They also batted a lot of overs out of the game without taking control from Victoria, negating some of their advantage.
I was enthralled with the way Maxwell somehow upset the trend of the game. McKay and Herrick had the new ball, but McKay was done away with after Forrest took a liking to him. Forrest could have done it in ones and twos but after such a frenetic innings, it seems it never crossed his mind and he was goaded into picking out the incredibly safe hands of Bob Quiney. It was bizarre, but a good demonstration that when you need to stop the batsmen scoring, getting a wicket actually works.
A great advertisement for twilight fixtures, if only there was any advertising for Shield cricket at all.
