Q'land 275. Burns 171, Labu 49.

[23 YIPPEE!!!]

My prediction for the NSW Vic game is that Nathan Lyon will make a 50 as night watchman and that Vics will be chasing a score around 200 to win there’s rain on the way though which may delay the game a bit.

First part of your prediction wrong: Lyon 21 (34).

But he did shield FTB Smith, who therefore came in at #4. As I said before, #3 is too high for someone with a defective technique like him.

NSW 4/65. Boland has 3 wickets.

In Vic's first innings, Lyon took 6/21 (16).
Good effort from Lyon, but *** these Oz batsmen are hopeless against spin.

OTOH Starc and Hazlewood combined took 0/115 (30).

[K]

NSW now 6/68.

Smith caught behind off Sutherland for 13. Another failure from the Flat-Track Bully. [Definitely no "shock" emojis here.]

I guess dropping down the order was not enough to help him with his defective technique. But he did outscore Patterson (duck). Patterson is not doing his chances of an Oz recall much good...

.....................................................

Now 7/68.

Don't forget that Vic's top order scored 77 (80), 24 (75), 24 (66), 30 (100).

[Donny]

All out 175. Abbott 73, Boland 4/57.

[Donny]

Vic 0/30. Maddinson 15*, Harris 13*.

[Donny]

Harris out to Lyon for 14.

1/40 . Maddinson 24*.

[Donny]

All out 175. Abbott 73, Boland 4/57.

Were 7/68, before Abbott's onslaught.
