Tasmania 4 for 93 trail Victoria 415 (Harris 115, Handscomb 78, Wade 78, White 64, Bird 3-75, Milenko 3-98) by 322 runsScorecard Jackson Bird and Peter Siddle both performed admirably in their Test auditions on a rain-affected second day at the MCG, where play continued until 10.30pm in an effort to make up lost overs. At stumps, Tasmania were struggling in their first innings on 4 for 93, with George Bailey on 25 and James Faulkner on 14, and they still trailed Victoria by 322 runs.It was a difficult evening session for Tasmanias top order against the pink ball as Siddle and his pace-bowling colleagues Chris Tremain and Scott Boland proved hard to get away. Siddle sent down 10 typically miserly overs and picked up 1 for 17, bowling Beau Webster for 20 after Tremain had earlier trapped both Tasmania openers - Caleb Jewell and Ben Dunk - lbw cheaply.Daniel Christian also chipped in with the wicket of Alex Doolan, lbw for 21, and it meant a mountain of work remained ahead of the Tigers at the halfway point of the match. The Bushrangers had resumed the day on 4 for 351 and batted for a further 22.2 overs for the loss of their final six wickets, putting on 64 runs in that time.Matthew Wade was lbw to Simon Milenko for 78 and Cameron White was caught for 64 off the bowling of Bird, who had been tidy on day one without gaining many rewards. Bird also had Christian caught behind for 3 to finish with 3 for 75 from his 30 overs, which included 10 maidens, and ahead of Fridays naming of Australias squad for the first Test against South Africa it was a solid performance.The likelihood is that Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood will be joined by Nathan Lyon and one further fast bowler in the WACA Test, with Bird and Siddle both leading candidates having played on Februarys Test tour of New Zealand. It is possible that both men will be named in the squad on Friday before the final XI is chosen closer to the match. Custom Lou Gehrig Jersey .

Scotland skipper Greig Laidlaw has warned his side to make sure Saturdays clash with Argentina does not lead to dire consequences for their World Cup ambitions.The Dark Blues -- ranked ninth in the world, one place behind the Pumas -- can overtake the South Americans with a win at Murrayfield this weekend.Defeat, however, could have grave knock-on effects. The draw for Japan 2019 takes place next May -- two-and-a-half years before the competition kicks-off -- and governing body World Rugby will use its rankings to calculate the seeding for the pool stage.Scotland were named in the batch of third seeds at last years tournament after sliding down the global pecking order. While Vern Cotters men were fortunate on that occasion as they ended up being paired with second seeds Samoa rather than one of the games major players, Laidlaw is worried the Scots will not get it so lucky next time.He said: The rankings issue is clearly very important. When you have World Cups coming up they are always in the back of your mind.We certainly dont want to drop out of the pot of second seeds. Id ratheer not be doing that if we can help it.dddddddddddd. World Cups are hard enough.Statistically in the past, it has been shown that teams always play better at the World Cup, so we want to give this Scotland side the best possible chance of getting as far in the competition as possible.Even though its further down the line, its important we win as many games as we can.But the Gloucester scrum-half is confident his side will now be weighed down by the pressure to start climbing their way back up the rugby ladder.We just concentrate on ourselves, he said. Well try to get in that mindset that we are making sure we dont give away penalties and that we play for the full 80 minutes.If we do that well have a much better chance of winning and that will take care of the world ranking points. The rankings certainly wont be something we talk about on the field. It is just about the process. What do we need to do? What is going well? What do we need to sharpen up on. ' ' '
