Is there a good reason why they schedule Shield matches concurrently with Test matches? We've had almost two weeks with no cricket and now we have Test and Shield matches to try and keep up with :confused: Having them at dfifferent times would remove the practice of adding in players halfway through as well which I don't like (in this case Pattinson).

Go Finchy!!!! :D

And cricket.com.au can't even have working Shield scorecards after a week and a bit with no bloody cricket.

Well usually they start on day 2 of the test match but the very weird decision to start this game on a Friday after 2 weeks without cricket changed that I suppose...

Stunning collapse sparked by Moody - Handscombe looked very nervous in the 90's could have been out a couple of times.

Loose shots from Finch/Maxwell.

Fair comeback by the young quicks after copping it in the first two sessions.

It's a pity Handscomb couldn't get a couple more to get to the ton, but it's another really good innings from him and he must be edging closer and closer to a baggy green.

The late collapse was disappointing but 320 isn't a terrible total, should be an interesting match.
