1 down 9 to go!

Rogers was the big wicket too. Would have liked a couple more with the new ball, Agar is going to have to bowl a couple of blinders!

At least there doesnt appear to be rain on the forecast.

Mackin was absolutely slaughtered in his 5 overs

SydneyRox · March 25, 2015, 01:55:00 PM

dodgy (and smart) bugger!! wasnt going anywhere even though i reckon he knew he was out.

The last ten overs has seen two runs scored, a ball went down leg and whiteman missed it, two byes. That's it. Wade and Hussey just being dotted up. This will be a draw

boooooooooringgggggg. This needs to change tbh, not just saying this because WA will lose but its never ever going to be a spectacle when one team just needs to avoid defeat to win.

yeah, i agree. a final is a final, you should have to win to win.

No other sport gets anything more than home ground advantage in the final, and lots dont even get that.

Otherwise just do it on ladder position.

They gotta live in Melbourne, we don't. That's winning enough

Every year the same discussion comes up, every year nothing is done about it. Make it a 6 day test, it's too easy do draw a match in Australia if you put your focus on it.

SydneyRox · March 25, 2015, 06:16:54 PM

Well done to the Vics. Finished on top and played well enough to draw which gives them the win!

Congrats!

Seems like the Warriors are going to have to do it the hard way like the Big Bash and make it third year lucky?!
