Shield Round 9 NSW v Victoria, Albury, 2-5 March 2023

[corbies]

as much as we all dislike NSW we need our biggest state producing players and this is just awful watching this team, i know the Aus players are away but are there others missing? a few of these wouldn't get a game for Tas or SA

Half those sides are NSWman who couldn't get a game for NSW in front of these guys to be fair .

Tremain is injured, I think Sangha has a niggle too?

Perry > Dean

Just open with Perry and bring in a second spinner

How are we letting this hack get wickets?

He's got genuine pace. He's going to go for runs a hell of a lot but he will pick up wickets as a strike bowler. Hack is really harsh.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Chandrasinghe, after his century on debut has averaged 11.8 in his past 12 innings, including a score of 67. Those people who have been watching him, how's he travelling?

He's quick but sprays it and his FC average shows his quality. Do not rate at all.

 

[eth-dog]

This is the worst pitch I've seen at Shield level.

Day 2 and it's incredibly hard work for both bowlers and batters. Exactly what you don't want in a pitch.

I don't blame the curators. It's tough in the country to provide FC quality pitches. Should be somewhere in the city.

Queensland have gone past us in BP now. We're now relying on SA to get the job done for us.

Bit like Renshaw early doors cant score to save himself

 

[Drunkcat]

Great to see Kellaway find some form again he needed that 51

 

[Voice of the G]

Great to see Kellaway find some form again he needed that 51

Even better seeing Short continuing to get runs.

To be fair the pitches at blacktown/bankstown/NSO/Drummoyne are always dull as anything too. The SCG is barely used for domestic Cricket these days and even then some of the pitches were a joke. NSW need to lift.

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

I think the pitch is ok. The outfield is very slow. Heaps of threes have been run hat would normally be fours.

 

[Blue Arrow]

Might be over today the way the team from the crappy side of the river is batting.

The Vics made 331 pitch can not be to bad

Yeah only made 1 hundred before this year now has made 4 this year, T20, one dayer, and shield, on a roll

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

22 seems to be as many as you can hope for with Jack Edwards.

I might be in the minority but I don't mind pitches that are roads to start and go to spin. I feel like a lot of the issues in Aussie cricket stem from the fact that curators feel the pressure of putting juice in it early
