Shield Tasmania vs Queensland, Bellerive Oval, October 26-29

[eth-dog]

Queensland 2/188 after 67. Burns and Clayton batting well here.

Not sure how Brad Hope is getting a game batting at 8. Play Rainbird instead.

 

[toml]

Clayton falls just short of back to back 100's, out on 96. Burnsy converts his and is 127no at stumps. Neser gets the promotion to 5 and finishes on 51no. Insane how much the pitch seemed to flatten out after the first session, it was doing all sorts of things in the first 20 overs or so.

So Neser is now strolling in at No.5 & has an unbeaten half century to his name...I think he's starting to fancy the test allrounder position by the looks.

Carey at 6 and Neser at 7?

 

[toml]

Jack Clayton mentioned in a post day interview that Neser batted 5 due to "some personal things going on and more will be known of that tomorrow". Speculating but perhaps he has had to head home tonight for something?

Don't see why not, or Neser 6 & Carey 7

Confirmed that Neser has returned home to Brisbane due to personal reasons

Strange that he came up the order to bat then.

Something seems to have happened after play began, they surely wouldn't have picked him if they knew they'd be a bowler after day 1. They put him up to 5 to make sure he got a bat and some runs before he had to leave I guess otherwise he wouldn't have got a bat at all.

Can only speculate that it's not a too serious a situation that he was able to hang around to the end of play & also come out to bat...I'm just disappointed the Shield's leading run scorer couldn't add to his tally.

I understand that Neser can't be replaced - even though the opposing captain would probably allow it - as it may mean end of first class status for the game.

However - surely the decency would be for him to "retire hurt" rather than "retire out"

I'd have faked a tight hammy or quad in the last over of the day to preserve that precious average

Great news hearing Neser has already returned to the game with his personal situation becoming more positive...Tasmania get a bonus bowling point because he retired out? Seems unfair.

where is Neser permitted to bat?

EDIT: nevermind, came to the crease after the 5th wicket fell

Out is out technically.

I'd planned to spend the arvo in my new building's swimming pool, but aside from the weather not being that good, this has been a really engrossing run chase, and Wade's was a tremendous innings.

I love how we've gone about the chase.

 

[Cleavy]

Tassie need 62 off the last 10 overs, 3 wickets in hand.

 

[largebus]

Tassie might just pinch this

 

[nobbyiscool]

11 off 18 needed with 3 wickets in hand, and Hope and Freeman set

We win this if one of them survives to the end.

 

[largebus]

Hits a six to win it with 8 balls to spare. What a chase

 

[nobbyiscool]

What a finish! Especially with Freeman just going whack to win it with a 6

Death, taxes, and Tassie on a day 4 pitch at Bellerive....

 

[yabsy]

Wow, chase down 430 & a six to seal it with less than 2 overs to go...Epic finish! Long live the Shield

I didn't see that coming. I was just hoping we could hold out for a draw.

Missed most of today's play. It must have been some final session, we were 4-264 at tea, so that's 3-168 from then on.

Webster is having a good season - 62, 64, 32* (helping save the game), 59 (out of 150 all out) & 70. The partnership between he and Wade (164) really helped set the win up.

Freeman is proving to be a really handy lower order batsman, hopefully his bowling can come on, although being an offie in f-c cricket in Australia is a tough ask.

Wade continues to deliver the goods, he passed 3000 f-c runs for Tassie in this match, after having scored 3906 runs for Victoria. He's played just the 36 matches for Tassie though, having played 77 for Victoria.
