Sheffield Shield Final

[Pies4shaw]

Handscomb brings up his 50. He's 52*, Perry's 20*. Victoria 3/176.

[Pies4shaw]

3/186. Victoria is just 200 behind WA, now.

[Donny]

Excellent effort from Perry.

He and Handscomb have put on 73 valuable runs and kept the WA attack at bay for 122 balls.

3/203. Hands 68*, Perry 30*.

[Pies4shaw]

Morning, Donny. 100* partnership up. 3/222.

[Donny]

Very impressed with Perry.

Hardly gets time in the nets as a batsman. Naturally, the top 7 get preference.

His defence is immaculate and has a nice cur shot.

3/227. Hands 77*, Perry 45*.

[Donny]

Very impressed with Perry.

Hardly gets time in the nets as a batsman. Naturally, the top 7 get preference.

3/232. Hands 79*, Perry 48*.

[Donny]

Lunch.

3/238.

I'm still not familiar enough with the bonus points situation to state the current position.

According to the commentators (AB, Boof 7 Symmo), The Vics need to be 3/280 odd before they start picking up bonus points.

Oops. Things just changed. Handscomb out.

[Donny]

Handscomb feathers to the keeper, from Hardie (3/44).

4/233.

BP situation: Victoria needs another 55 runs, without losing a wicket, to go ahead of WA.

[Donny]

5/262.

Perry (57*) still there but Maddinson is out for 20.

[Donny]

The Vics need 28 in the next 5 overs, without a wicket, to get a bonus point.

[Donny]

Merlo gone.

5/278. Perry 63*.

[Donny]

Harper given out.

7/290. Perry 69*. Time for Sutherland to play a big innings.

[Donny]

8/297. Perry's excellent innings comes to a close, on 74. Nudged a ball to leg slip.

Paris and Hardie 3 wickets each.

[Donny]

All out 306.

[Pies4shaw]

Well, that was a dismal collapse. 7 wickets while I watched the VFL game.
