Shield Round 6: Queensland vs Western Australia, Gabba, 28th Nov-1st Dec

[The Falcon Strike]

Big big IF mate. He typically plays one game and he’s cooked for months lol

Yep - i can understand him pursuing a test career = he is definitely talented enough. But at some point - if it doesn't come together - think he might focus solely on the shorter format to prolong his career.

 

[JackOutback]

Fantastic work by Jhye, three of the four caught behind as well.

 

[Westend]

great start by WA 3/31

 

[Tugga27]

Whiteman looked like he got a poor decision.

Our batting has been poor for while now Westy.
Been relying on our openers to much.

Younger guys are struggling and not coming good yet

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Teague will be a wonderful player.

Big wraps on the kid but 19 matches is a fair sample to only average in the 20s. Guess he has plenty of time on his side !

 

[Westend]

50 for the green dog

good player get him in the test team

Looks a cut above.

I know I’m always pumping up Green but I’d have him in the Perth test in front of Marsh. Marsh isn’t even playing this game and should be if he wants to be in the test team.

Touch of death activated.

 

[ioppolo]

Much needed runs for Cartwright.

 

[Westend]

96 for greenie

 

[Tugga27]

Got to feel for Joel Curtis.
His parents fly over to watch his debut and he gets a golden.

Apart from Marnus,who would play 7 days a week, Marsh deserves a break like everyone else who played in the WC.

One Shield match wouldn't determine selection anyway.
Marsh is the incumbent.
Green has to force his way back in.

Put Jhye up the order.
Tassie lost and we're not winning this so we should smack it around for bonus points and get as close to them as we can.

 

[4Seasons]

Lol to the Victorian troll, who constantly hates on WA cricketers, saying Cartwright should be dropped .
I banked a hundred the moment the moron said it.

 

[eth-dog]

Interesting balance here. Have to essentially take 4 overs off for WA's chase ATM (2 for change, lose an over and a bit for all the wickets). Once it starts getting to that run a ball for WA before getting them all out it makes it tough. Right now it's essentially 1.5 per over, but even another 40 off the next 20 with wickets in hand will make it tough.

This isn't moving very quickly. I doubt we'll see a result.

Yeah, you really need another 2 in the next 3-4 overs

 

[JackOutback]

The highest strike rate is 42... Queensland ain't setting a target.

It's not setting a target it's whether or not you roll them in time to have a crack.

That was never truly realistic either. Anyways, both teams have called.
