Re: DVCA Barclay Shield 09/10
Can anyone tell me, when was the last time a side was only 21 runs behind on the first inning with 9 wickets in hand, and somehow managed to get beaten reverse outright to lose the Grand Final. (ok, it hasn't happened yet, but it is on the cards)
Will be a great effort if Mernda can hold out the 70 odd overs that Plenty will bowl at them on Saturday, don't even have to chase, just bat the time.......wait and see....

It will be tough for Mernda to bat negatively against the attack of Rosbrook, Hubber, Salvatore and Cocking. It will be a tight result, i can't see it happening for Mernda after their middle to bottom order capitulating in the first innings.

I think Plenty will declare overnight. I would with their bowling attack and the iffy weather forecast. Throw in the injury to Deany and they are down to 9 wickets?
Plenty may bat for 3 or so overs to unnerve the Mernda batsmen?

I would declare overnight. Interesting to see the approach of Mernda, as they don`t have to chase and score the runs if they don`t want to. However to just try and bat out the overs and not play run scoring shots will play right into the hands of Plenty. I think the only way for Mernda is to chase the runs, don`t like there chances though. Plenty to win!

Mernda haven't batted 70 overs in Barclay Shield ever. Can't see it starting this week.

Beat me to it
People have been quick to write off Mernda for the best part of two seasons and while they may have had some luck getting to 2/90 odd ( i don't know, i wasn't there ) last Saturday, they must have batted pretty well up until that stage. Obviously with Callum Dean injured, it makes it tough but it may only take one bloke to play out of his skin to give them a chance.

Re: DVCA Barclay Shield 09/10
Mernda would struggle to bat twice with 80 overs left. the only thing they have going for them is they dont actually have to play any shots, will they realise it?? i cant see them doing it no matter what happens.
weather is their only hope, and if the 4 piece ball comes in next year, we wont be talking about them come finals time for a while.

Luke Rosbrook and Paul Baker joint winners last night on 17 votes. Still I think a few people scratching their heads as to how the umpires work out their 3-2-1. Round 2 Plenty Vs Bundoora 3 votes- A. Sing (bundoora) 5 catches, dnb. 2 votes- L. Rosbrook (plenty) 6-32. off 10 overs.
