Why should it be? Make a bad spectacle even worse.
WA not declaring and giving Victoria something to aim at to try and get some shots out of them was just ridiculous stuff. A loss is as bad as a draw, no difference. Batting on into the last day was stupidity.

Think I've mentioned it in here somewhere, but Cricket Victoria wanted to get rid of Shippherd, keep him on in a "Director of Cricket/Coaching" role and continue with the Stars. The cat got thrown amongst the pigeons when the Stars board (with only one or two CV reps) decided they wanted to get rid of Shippherd. In the end, they continued through with getting rid of Shippherd.

Jeez, it was pretty silly to expect that from the Stars imo
With the timeless test, I suppose it's technically possible. But it's basically impossible to see it actually being implemented
I mean, there was hardly even any point calling him out. Disappointing the actual people doing the interview didn't fire went back thoughWould have thought the NSW bois in here would have been all over Langer's comments bemoaning rolling out roads for the Shield Final. Sort of like rolling out a road for the last round of the year to get into the final...:

On the whole I thought WA were surprisingly neutral. the WA lower order cruised around at pretty average S/Rs i the first innings, and then in the second innings, which they basically should have been treating like an ODer if not a T20, they open with Bancroft. Where's the #intent. Plus I would have bowled first (same with NSW in the final round). The most amazing thing about JLs presser is that he was expecting pitch deterioration. It's 2015 bud

Langer's against mucking around with the order; hated when it happened to him personally.
Who is the new man for Victoria going to be ?

Money would be on Saker; Shippherd would be happy to stay on board under his old protege which CV desperately wants.

More suited to an overall coaching role anyway. His bowling coaching used to get criticism in Victoria about a lack of knowledge around biomechanics, etc. - always been about tactics to batsmen, how and where in what conditions.
Dave Hussey announced his retirement from Victoria last night at the Vic awards ceremoney,don't know what he will do now but was the batting coach and 2nd xl coach and senior mentor gather he will continue in that vein,will continue to play for the Stars in the Big Bash.

Have long had a Langer filter that edits out everything he says.Would have thought the NSW bois in here would have been all over Langer's comments bemoaning rolling out roads for the Shield Final. Sort of like rolling out a road for the last round of the year to get into the final...

Heard all the talk about the Stars came out of Clarke approaching them.
