A not unfamiliar pattern. Off to a flying start, averaging 5 an over then a couple of wickets then the new batsmen freeze up, run rate drops and the collapse ensues.Vics went from 0-94 to 200 all out.
The GOAT got 6 fer.

Terrible performance, they were 2/152, lost their last 8 wickets for 48 runs.Vics went from 0-94 to 200 all out.

The GOAT spinning a web around them.Lookout the Vis are 3/79, need another 62.
Vics have lost 4/47, here we go again....5/87 Vics falling in a hole. Still need 54.
I thought NSWs test quality bowlers were going to be too much for our fragile batting line up but there ya go. Good stuff.Vic's win.
And now i read Maxwell is hoping to be picked for tests in Asia next year, and hopes to play a shield game or 2 this season.
Maxi's BBL form was white-hot, and he's proven over a decade what a superstar he is in the short game.Interesting to see how this goes after the usual bonkers IPL action last night. Maxwell picks up 2.5 million despite barely hitting a ball off the square last season, which is about 7 times what Steve Smith was paid.
Meanwhile Jhye Richardson picks up 2.5 and Riley Meredith 1.4. Hard to see why blokes would risk their bodies playing test cricket when they can earn that for a dozen 20 over games.
It was interesting that Captain Neville wasn't game to use Starc until the game was all but done and dusted.I thought NSWs test quality bowlers were going to be too much for our fragile batting line up but there ya go. Good stuff.
I like what coach Buck Rogers is doing with the side, he's blooding a lot young blokes.Great experience for 18-year-old Jake Fraser-McGurk steering the mighty Vics home against the old enemy in a good partnership with Jimmy Patto.
That's now eight Shield games since the Blues have beaten the Vics.
Didn't know that. We play them again just next week.Great experience for 18-year-old Jake Fraser-McGurk steering the mighty Vics home against the old enemy in a good partnership with Jimmy Patto.

You have a point, it's a lot of money, but most cricketers still want to play the ultimate. Maxi is set for life, so it's about legacy for him.
The fact that Smith put himself in the auction and attracted a bid does that create an obligation for him to play? Or does he say thanks but I will stay home ?Interesting to see how this goes after the usual bonkers IPL action last night.
