Sheffield Shield Round 1: Victoria vs NSW @ MCG

[grimlock]

Now that our best batsman is out we are in trouble.

We bat fairly deep though.

 

[eth-dog]

Very tight bowling, Boland bowling well.

Not sure how good Jackson is with the bat but Lalor 8 and Sandhu 9 doesn't strike me as deep.

Lalor can bat. More of a number 9, but he can stay around a bit, seen a bit of him.Jackson should be ahead of Nevill but I understand why he isn't as he is new.

Is that the ex England bowler?

Nah, different guy with the same name.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Fair enough, just assumed it was the same one, thought he would be 40 by now lol

Anyone who follows the vics more closely have a better informed opinion on where alex Keath is at with his career? Seems to have struggled for a while now, is he is danger of not making it?

He'd want to make runs this year. Seems to have gone behind Christian and that is a worry as Christian is horrible

Yeh, I think he is pretty talented. Agree on christian

The question is whether they see him as a limited overs specialist, meaning do they see him as sort of a bits and pieces player, or do they see him as an outstanding bat that could be a 4 day cricketer. I don't know, have only seen him a few times.

Yeh I've seen him 5-6 times, he hasn't done much in any of those games but his batting is his stronger suit by a fair distance IMO

Look I didn't see him bowl so I'm only going off his batting. Just not sure (and again this is off a very small sample) that he is solid enough, he seems very loose with his technique.

2/45 in a session, pitch producing hand grenades?

3 rather defensive bats in the top 4 to be fair

 

[Chaisa]

Is that the ex England bowler?

Steele's brother I believe.

 

[bombersfan4000]

Because Hastings and Boland are better with an older ball. I personally would have played Sidebottom instead of Christian, he's a new ball bowler

that stuff doesn't happen at CV, playing of the kids, the next generation! At CV their goal is to stack the side with recycled journeymen & never was beans

Watch his backlift and where it is angled.

Won't make it

 

[The Speaker]

Stoinis getting the new ball in a Shield match.

If Scott Henry makes a 50, but no one watched it, did it really happen?

 

[grimlock]
