Report of the last match – NSW vs Victoria 11th match 2021/22

Allrounder Hayden Kerr made an impression in the ’50s at the time of his debut when Victoria’s took control

Victoria 3 for the price of 68 paths New South Wales 233 (Hughes 70, Kerr 62 *) with 165 runs

The match was postponed 24 hours after Will Sutherland, Victoria’s allrounder, found a positive Covid-19 test, but the game got the green light on Saturday morning as the remaining Victoria tests returned negative with players making only occasional contacts.

After Kerr’s unbeaten 62 had lifted more than 200 from New South Wales, Tremain hit twice in his opening when he didn’t play for the Blues at all last season after moving back from Victoria.

In his first delivery, he found James Seymour on the inside edge of the heels and two balls were later trapped for Peter Handscomb lbw. In the second installment, he pulled the edge from Matt Short, who was held neatly in the second slip and left Victoria 3 for two before Travis Dean and Jonathan Merlo managed to reach the stumps on a gloomy, gray day with the headlights in full power.

In the hectic opening session, New South Wales scored more than four goals but lost three visits to the club. Curiously watching the first session of the game in sailor-friendly conditions, the two punches were shocked when Kurtis Patterson and Moises Henriques both fell to Matt Short’s offspring. Sam Harper’s gloves on the footing to claim that Henriques played his first game of the season were particularly sharp.

Victoria took power in the afternoon when the New South Wales Central Order collapsed. Debutant Xavier Crone struck twice in consecutive births, the other scalp was the birth gem that took Jack Edwards from the heel. James Pattinson then created his own gem, a quick inswinger that broke through Peter Nevill in his 100th Sheffield Shield match.
