New South Wales v Victoria – Sheffield Shield, 2012/13 (14th Match) – Match Update [Day 3]
Chris Rogers and Cameron White enabled their side to post a decent first innings total of 330 before they were all out against New South Wales on the third day of their ongoing Sheffield Shield match on November 15 – however, an unbeaten half-ton from Scott
Henry saw the Blues gaining a 147-run lead and finishing at 184 for 3 by stumps on day three.
The match had kicked off with the Blues winning the toss and deciding to bat first. Victoria’s http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-South-Wales-c823 have it easy, but Scott
Henry (78) and centurion http://www.senore.com/Cricket/BJ-Haddin-c1170 (108*) managed to get the Blues up to a first innings total of 293 before they were all out on the first day of play.
The second day saw Victoria working their way up to 177 for 5. Opener http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ryan-Carters-c2386 (33) remained the only other
batsmen who managed to put forth competitive performances before they were sent packing. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Peter-Handscomb-c81662 (0) remained lacklustre, and the second day ended with the Bushrangers at 177 for 5.
Day three saw Rogers bringing his individual total up to a vital 125, while skipper Cameron White contributed 72 – both batsmen joined forces for an 80-run partnership for the 6th wicket. The Blues remained on the attack, with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mitchell-Aaron-Starc-c76392 (22.3-4-72-4),
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Moises-Henriques-c2021 (19-6-36-2) on the prowl.
Rogers and White were both dismissed by Starc, and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Alex-Keath-c986 and Cameron made quick exits on duck, after which final contributions from Herrick (21*) and Hastings (18) got Victoria up to 330 before they were all out.
Faced with the need to post a challenging target for the Bushrangers to chase, the Blues stepped up to the crease for their second innings. Opener http://www.senore.com/Cricket/David-Graham-Dawson-c52836 (40) yielded
78 runs.
Dawson was dislodged by Hussey (7-1-16-2) in the 23rd over, and his successors http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Adrian-Roger-Kirshaw-Pierson-c42135 it out at the
crease, and his unbeaten 95-run stand with Henry got the Blues up to 184 for 3 by stumps on day 3, granting the team a 147 run-lead, with 7 wickets remaining.
