Sheffield Shield Round 2: South Australia Redbacks v Western Australia Warriors @ Adelaide Oval

[Perty4]

Great finish - any game that goes down to the last few minutes 9 down chasing over 300, bravo both teams. Should share the points, hell if Vic can argue they get all 6, give WA 3 at least

How's the SA bias commentary with this footage:

Possible exaggeration but that wasn't close to being out.

How's the SA bias commentary with this footage:

Given that SA are the only state that actually puts in an effot for its coverage it's fair enough they are biased. It's all volenteers.

Well done Redbacks.

Not good enough. Shouldn't be losing that.

Still got massive question marks on Travis Head's technique but good on him for getting his first Shield hundred. Would really like him to live up to the hype and I hope this is the catalyst.

His main problem is he's risen through the ranks so quickly the expectations keep getting bigger. He's 21, captaining his state, 5 FC scores in the 90's, 1 FC 100 which was a day 4 match winning knock, 17 FC 50's, has a one day 200, has scored a one day 100 for Australia A, under 19's national championships player of the tournament.

All this by 21, there's no one his age more naturally talented I have no doubt about that, just is not the finished product yet, no 21 yo is though.

Zampa and Head must love playing against WA.

Move Agar into the middle order full time. I'm thinking 5 or 6.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

I see a lot of Yuvraj Singh in his batting. With more responsibility placed in terms of batting order I think he could average in the 40s.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

We better not see the road in a test match though. Love the Shield wickets in Adelaide but the curator seems to want to produce a road which is boring for 3 days in the test match, which is fractionally disappointing

The Shield wickets have been low, slow featherbeds the last few years too. Not just the test pitch.

Hopefully this is a sign of things to come.

I see a lot of Yuvraj Singh in his batting. With more responsibility placed in terms of batting order I think he could average in the 40s.

Something like:

Bancroft
Harris
Marsh
Klinger
Bosisto
Agar
Whiteman +
Behrendorff
Mackin
Hogan

+1 bat or another bowler?

I would think he would but he needs to keep his head (literally) and not hit too many in the air.

Looks pretty good, would prefer Paris to Hogan provided NCN comes back in for some experience when fit.

It is hard to bat with your head not on your body.

 

[JackOutback]

What a cracking finish, well done SA. WA will be rueing that collapse yesterday. Another 20 would have got the job done.

This made my laugh out loud.
