That’s a ripe ol’ capitulation by the Vics

[BenDoolan]

f****** hell… the Vics doubled down on their capitulation with the bat, to completely f*** around with the ball.

Firstly though, huge congrats to Beau Webster and Riley Meredith who put on an incredible 153 for the last wicket. Probably inspired by the Cam Green and Hazlewood heroics the other day. Simply amazing stuff

But for the Vics… wow… what a shitfull couple of days

[grassy1]

Touch and go for WA Benny.

Queensland's tail wagged as well,meaning we couldn't enforce the follow,with the weather here,threatening to pack it in tomorrow.

Got to quickly set a Target of 350,if possible before hopefully skittling them for a good Win!

[BenDoolan]

Goodness me, the Vics are making a real fist of this! What a bizarre match. This will be one hell of a win if they get there.

f*** me, Will Pucovski just need to retire. I cannot believe the amount of times he gets hit in the head. He has NFI how to play the short ball. This latest hit was a dreadful lack of evasive skill. Time to find another vocation…

[BenDoolan]

And just like that, the Vics lose 3 wickets for 15 runs.

Need 69 runs with 2 wickets in hand on the final day. A bit of a stretch one thinks…

Or Pennant Cricket for a while.I closed my eyes,when I saw Retired Hurt after 2 Balls.I thought he was just getting over that issue with some good knocks and this happens!

Even allowing for playing you guys next week,I really want the fella to succeed.But just through concussion protocols alone,he'll miss the decider for Shield Finalists,sadly.

[BenDoolan]

Fremantle doctor or something…

A slight pleasant interlude,but not strong enough to stop me from losing beads!
