Sheffield Shield Round 1: South Australia vs New South Wales @ Adelaide Oval, 28/10-31/10 2015

James Hird will coach a team to an AFL premiership before SA wins another Sheffield Shield.......

To be fair you won't face Starc, etc every week.

True but SA do this every time, when the chips are down. Like the Aussie top order, they don't know how to build an innings.

Well having Head in the top order and a hot/cold Ferguson does that. Just very inconsistent unfortunately.

The rest of the comp will actually play NSW instead of the Australian National team

 

[Chuckie357]

I think it is pretty obvious, day night test cricket is ******* terrible. I can barely pick up the ball on the TV screen.

Shoulda gone to specsavers

Yes the reseves of Bollinger, Sandhu are plodders I tell you.

Reality is NSW should be winning or going very close to winning.

The issue I have is why on goodness earth didn't they schedule NSW against QLD or Victoria...we actually have a rivalry with both States!

Yeah I agree with that actually. Seems like they wanted to fine tune the Aussie openers and spinner before the test series by letting them get cheap wickets

Don't see why we couldn't have done that against the other two. I feel the major reason is the D/N test is in Adelaide and lets cut to the chase the most critical players in the Australian side are from NSW...hence why they would want a game in Adelaide. Not saying I agree with the philosophy though!

Have any players or officials whinged about the ball yet?

Hastings did in the Victorian game and Bird said it played more like a white ball where it swung a bit and then nothing the rest of the day in overcast conditions. The issues will happen when the pitch is abrasive.

 

[Gray Day]

5/9

Starc 4/4 (5), 2 LBWs, 2 bowled.

This is scary, what's the lowest FC score ever?

 

[Gray Day]

Still not convinced by Starc with the red ball

Probably because they wanted to give the test players pink ball experience at the Adelaide Oval?

May as well let Warner and Smith get a shot at it because stuff the rest of the batting lineup

6 by the B's vs England in 1810.

[Smoooothy]

I've just noticed something. the player numbers are gone from the back of the shirts

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

At least we've debunked the myth that it's batting under lights that's the issue

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Head is playing well regardless

 

[Phone]

they went last season. terrible idea to ditch them

 

[LukeParkerno1]

NSW better bat again at least

 

[The_Reaper]

Smith won't declare. He knows how important batting practice for the test series is

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Still not convinced by Starc with the red ball

I'm not. Getting a few useless donkeys out this innings doesn't change how inconsistent he has been.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Smith won't declare. He knows how important batting practice for the test series is

NSW might have to declare if SA are relying on Travis Head and his party pies

 

[jackess]

100 run partnership coming up. Head to score at least 90 of them.

Still not convinced by Starc with the red ball

What about with the pink ball?
