NSWales bleed gold coins

A great football coach one used a great quote from a great film made by a great action star about a great alien when he said “if it bleeds, we can kill it”.

In India this side Victorian side is worth a bit of cash, in Australia you get a a Victorian player with a happy meal.

So the fact that they got out the Australian opening batsmen, the number 4, and the next wicketkeeper on the first day, was a big deal.

They also got the state player of the year out. Made Brett Lee look silly and have the mighty speed blitz blues at 8 for 266 at stumps.

Generally you can tell on the first day what sort of final you are going to get.

If the home side win the toss and are 3 for 350 on the first day, then its going to be shocking.

But this is a match.

According to Jacques the days honours were even.

What a massive load of bullsh1t.

NSWales came in with two ways of winning the title, Victoria had one, on Stumps of Day one we now know that a draw is out of the picture, and NSWales are not the golden gods the media made them out to be.

Victoria are not out of the woods yet. Even if they do bowl NSWales out cheaply, they still have to face Lee, who will be angry at his treatment from siddle. Bracken who will be confused by a red ball, Clark who will be glad Quiney is not playing, and MacGill who is playing for wine money.

It will not be easy.

But this Victorias day, this was a flat pitch, and it took good bowling from all three quicks to get into this position.

The ball did reverse, but no non pakistani team can make the ball reverse better than the Vics with mints.

Then good news is, Bryce did not have to bowl great today for Victoria to be in a good position.

He got the prized scalp of his bunny (ahum) the Krab Katich, but all in all he did not look that bad.

Now all the Vics need is a hundred by one of the main 3 and anything could happen.

Former potential future PM averages over 80 against NSWales.

Bring on day two, the paupers are enjoying taking on the millionaires.
