Australian Domestic Cricket Update – November 23rd, 2011
At stumps on day two of the 13th Sheffield Shield match of the Australian domestic season of 2011-12, Tasmania was right on top as it was leading with a massive margin of 337 runs with two second innings wickets in hand against
Victoria at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), on the 23rd of November, 2011.
The home team started the second day with 18 runs for the loss of three wickets. The middle-order batsmen failed to make any impression in the game and the whole team was bundled out for a mere 94 in the 39th over of the innings.
This was an extremely disappointing performance by Victoria, considering the fact that they were playing at their home turf.
New ball bowler, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/James-Faulkner-c1643 also shined with a couple of scalps.
In its second innings, Tasmania was also off to a poor start as four of its top order batsmen were back in the pavilion for only 46 runs on the board.
However, the lower middle order showed some positive resistance and helped their team post 214 runs for the loss of eight wicket at the close of play on day two.
James Faulkner showed his all-round abilities and scored a crucial half-century to hand over the advantage to his team. Wicketkeeper/batsman, Tomo Triffitt was unbeaten on 46 runs at stumps.
