I know Victoria have no hope of winning the pura Sheffield cup Shield.

I’m not stupid, although once I spent 8 minutes trying to get my headphone jack into my ear whilst holing the earplug in the other hand.

No one is going to get over 600 runs to win a final.

It just aint possible, Don Bradman couldn’t do it, Natalie Portman couldn’t do it, and neither can Future Pm David Hussey.

But, that hasn’t stopped him trying.

Not only that, but he has managed to wake up Nick Jewell as well, who apparently wants to play one day cricket next year.

They put on 52 to runs in just under 9 overs against Bracken and MacGill.

Hussey hit two sixes in an over off MacGill, ok so that is so out of the ordinary.

But Nick Jewell hit the ball regulary off the square and played attacking cricket shots.

That has to mean something, doesn't it.

To me the whole Hussey and Jewell slogathon reminds me of the end of the wild bunch, when the outlaws all look at each other, nod and stroll calmly to their death by shedding as much blood as physically possible.

Hussey would be a great man in the wild west, he would eventually die spectacularly, but on the way he would take down about a hundred guys, and he doesn't have nearly as gay a walk as John Wayne.

I see Nick as the straigh laced gunslinger whom all the baddies think is crap, but is obviously good by the way the director shoots him.

Then he helps the hero right at the end, without getting his suit dirty.

This game is deader than Alan Ladd, but why not kick some ass on the way out.

If beating NSWales is not possible at least make their millionaires look like clowns for 5 minutes.

Or let the Huss go down with one hell of a bang.

day four

The Vics did what I said they would do, they won, whilst giving us all a scare.

Early on they lost 2/4, and then later on they lost 2/0.

Sure I said they would lose 3 quick wickets at a time, but let us not quibble over mere details.

They probably needed the Son of Tony Jewell to anchor the innings as losing 6 wickets was more than enough for me.

Shame Nick didn’t get his ton, he is a very good old school opening batsmen, sort of like the big cheeseburger, only smaller. Junior burger perhaps.

Future Pm David Hussey’s innings was odd. 50odd of 40ood balls seemed a weird contribution to the days play.

Highlights of the match would have to be McDonalds return to form with both bat and ball and Siddle’s continued skinny bowling average.

But Mr Shipperd please fix our mini collapses, I eat a lot of cheese, and therefore probably have a bad heart.

Cameron Whites golden duck is not news worthy.
