First extras not conceded until 0/186, very unusual. At least SA were careful with the front foot.
They were but its a pretty pedestrian SA bowling attack. Medium pacers Kane Richardson, Luke Robins, Nick Winter and then spinners Adam Zampa, Travis Head and Tom Andrews.

It'll be interesting how the selectors view Harris's innings. Whilst he played very well in spurts he was dropped twice and played plenty of balls in the air the same style he was out numerous times last summer.

Vics finally declare after 150 overs at 6/616. Maddison 224, Harris 116, Pucovski 123, Maxwell 43 and Finch 57. I’ve never seen more lacklustre cricket. Victoria only lost the last 3 wickets chasing runs and Finch went out through apathy because it was so easy. I honestly think the Vics could’ve made 1000 runs if they weren’t after the win. Will be interesting to see how SA cope with this placid wicket against the Victorian attack of Pattinson, Boland, Tremain and Holland.

edit: Weatherald out to the very first ball of the SA innings.....

Not sure we need another form of cricket .. 4 is probalbly too much with one dayers losing intrest .. tests and 20/20 seems to be an ideal mix for differnt fan tastes .I love my Test crick and have got into 20/20 with following the Current champs the Remegades ( good year the Renegades and the Tigers in 2019 :cupgold) used to go to the big bash and enyed when I was still in Melboune ( left 2016 to live in Botswana ).. So Dont know if we need another short form of the game ... Time will tell

It’s funny how it took 100 years to move from 4/5 day cricket to one day cricket then 30 years to go to 20/20 then 10 years to go to 100 ball cricket.

I calculate that by 2030 we,ll be playing 1 ball cricket.

Too late.

The South Africans are already playing that form of the game against India at the moment.

Yeah, it’s a mess. I think January and February were left to allow the bigger names to play Big Bash.

So BBL is introducing a time out that can be called between overs 7-13 to discuss tactics. Cool....
