Vics start reply to big SA Shield total

Victoria are 0-12 in reply to an imposing South Australian total on day two of the Sheffield Shield match in Adelaide.

After the Redbacks declared at 7-431 on Monday, Victoria batted for 10 minutes before lunch with Rob Quiney on 12 not out and Chris Rogers yet to score.

The Redbacks called a halt to their innings some 20 minutes before lunch.

Callum Ferguson top-scored with 140 and Tim Ludeman made 106, the pair putting on 208 runs for the fifth wicket.

But both fell quickly, with Ludeman trapped lbw by Chris Tremain and Ferguson bowled by Peter Siddle.

Test quick Siddle took 2-54 from 23 overs with Tremain (2-81) and spinner Jon Holland (2-92) other multiple wicket-takers.

After the centurions were outed, Redbacks captain Johan Botha (40no), Joe Mennie (36) and Adam Zampa (33 from 12 balls) went on a quest for rapid runs – SA scored 127 runs in 100 minutes in the morning session.
