Peake rejoins the squad rested and confident, having steered the Vics over South Australia in a tight run chase earlier in the season.<\/p>\n
Victorian coach Chris Rogers saw pre-final rest as an opportunity for the left-hander to \u201cbe a 19-year-old kid\u201d for a week.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe felt it was important he had a chance to be a 19-year-old kid, he\u2019s been in the cricket bubble and all over the world for a long period of time\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think it\u2019s important he has these little breaks and gets to spend time with his family and friends.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis 19s World Cup, they went to Africa and even in there was in a couple of countries in conditions and environments he would never have really experienced before I imagine.<\/p>\n
\u201cThose things all add up, so I think he had a chance to see one of his mates debut for the (Western) Bulldogs, Lachie Jacques.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat a great opportunity to show other people you care about and how they\u2019re going and that kind of thing and not caught up in the cricket bubble.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Vics dodged any signs of complacency by nosing out Tassie in a close game at Bellerive Oval last weekend.<\/p>\n
They now welcome the reigning champions and potential finalist in South Australia to Junction Oval.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe definitely know they\u2019re a potential finalist and probably in the box seat, and we know they\u2019re a good side,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere will be some things we can take out of it. They probably need to get some kind of result as well, so they\u2019ve got to play a solid game.<\/p>\n
\u201cHopefully, we can just keep this momentum going, learn a few things. In some respects it\u2019s a bit like Test cricket where you can problem solve over a few games and I like that idea.\u201d<\/p>\n
EXPECTED XII: Will Sutherland, Dylan Brasher, Sam Elliott, Peter Handscomb, Sam Harper, Marcus Harris, Campbell Kellaway, Blake Macdonald, Todd Murphy, Fergus O\u2019Neill, Ollie Peake, Mitch Perry.<\/p>\n
