possibly one of the most interesting games ever. it won't look good on paper that herrick bowled one over for one wicket, but it mostly made sense at the time. holland went into the attack straight away, got results and bowled out his spell. mcdonald almost could have done the same. although expensive, siddle was the obvious choice for the new ball and as go-to man for victoria, while herrick is still trying to get a foot in the door. the wicket turned and even though salpietro cost boundaries, he was worth at least a couple.
cooper was excellent under pressure, though he produced a couple of very silly reverse sweeps. amazing to think they get the bonus point for that.
