SHOCKING UPSET: Vics Smash Star-Studded NSW in Thrilling Shield Opener!

Sam Elliott has claimed all four wickets on day four at the MCG with Victoria wrapping up a convincing 141-run win over a star-studded NSW side.

The highly anticipated clash between Victoria and NSW lived up to its expectations, with the former emerging victorious in convincing fashion.

The match, which saw some of the biggest names in Australian cricket take to the field, was expected to be a closely contested affair. However, it was Victoria who dominated from the outset, showing a level of class and composure that ultimately proved too much for their opponents.

Sam Elliott was the star of the show on day four, taking all four wickets to fall and cementing his side's position at the top of the table. His impressive display with the ball was a testament to his skill and determination, and he will undoubtedly be one to watch in the coming matches.

For NSW, the defeat will be a bitter pill to swallow. Despite boasting a team filled with talent and experience, they were unable to match Victoria's intensity and consistency. They will need to regroup and reassess their strategy if they are to bounce back from this disappointment.

The victory marks a strong start to the season for Victoria, and they will be hoping to build on this momentum in their upcoming matches. With a convincing win under their belts, they will be confident of making a deep run in the competition.

The defeat, on the other hand, leaves NSW with some soul-searching to do. They will need to address their weaknesses and work on their team dynamics if they are to get their season back on track.
