day two from less bizzarro world

Victoria got themselves to 390 odd.

It wasn’t pretty, and the tail had to fight a bit, and some bloke called Cameron got a swag full of wickets.

Then NSWales got in and batted like they were batting for time.

Their failure to take more than 2 specialist bowlers into this side mean that first innings points is really important.

But the Vics like to choke sides up and with McGain they have the perfect man for the job.

His 2 for 64 is not his sexiest figures, but with Hodge getting out the crab Katich and Siddle chipping in with the new ball they are 4 down with 180 odd to get.

They do bat down to 9 in this game, but I suppose that is always going to happen when you don’t pick any bowlers.

Game is well poised but you’d rather be wearing Victorias shoes at this stage.

McGain only needs 3 wickets to complete his 5 wicket haul.

Clinton McKay only needs 5 to do the same.

Beau Casson is in, so that’s a positive.
