Sheffield Shield Round 7: Victoria v Queensland @ Junction Oval

[Art Vandelay_]

200 behind still. Can’t believe we’re behind the 8 ball with these crabs twice now.

We've always had our troubles with them. Poor shots by Dean (needlessly hanging the bat out again) and White didn't really help. Think it may be a case of us needing to declare behind.

Short is going back and across a bit too much for my liking. Sam Heazlett is very good in the field.

 

[Blue Arrow]

Short has turned himself into a pretty handy batsman, not a great deal of runs but averaging 40+.

 

[eddiesmith]

Short is an overrated hack

Was battling against Steketee there. Not a surprise he eventually fell to him. Now Gotch and Maddo need to get us to 350-odd.

 

[eth-dog]

Yes Maddo!

Short is an overrated hack

He's played 10 Shield games and is only 23 ffs.

Too easy

Why is Pattinson playing ? Injured again ?

Think he's playing as a bat in the FL.

 

[Kyptastic]

One of the great Victorian batsman is Maddo

 

[grimlock]

Vics get one back hehe

 

[eth-dog]

Vics get one back hehe

One was on 95 and flying, the other on 17 and could barely get it off the square.

 

[eth-dog]

Gotch another soft dismissal. Harper 76 in the FL, and a better keeper. Change needs to happen.

 

[eth-dog]

Trail by 97. Behind in the game but if the target is under 250 it's chaseable.

 

[Bedi]

Renshaw batting well, though not sure if pulling out the reverse sweep will endear him to selectors.

 

[Bedi]

Now he's sweeping outside off stump and is out caught. Really poor effort.

People need to get over players playing the reverse sweep in test cricket.

Played it like three times in his innings of 47, which is excessive in my books. Esp for someone who's striving for national selection

Okay, 2 questions:

1. Did he go out to the reverse sweep? No, he went out to a traditional one.
2. How many runs did he get off the reverse sweep?

Playing a shot that old farts have deemed NOT A TEST SHOT because it's new and inventive doesn't mean it isn't a legitimate avenue for scoring runs. Khawaja used it very successfully in the UAE, how'd he go over there again?

Not to mention he played it to the right ball each time. Way outside off each time so pretty much zero risk, especially as there was no fielder at 45.

After watching these two innings I am pretty confident he’ll be back in the runs pretty soon. Looked pretty untroubled minus the poor shot selection to get out. The issue outside off stump he has earlier in the season doesn’t seem to be there anymore.

I haven't been watching this innings, but this just confirms what I already suspected to be the case.

Ah right, to answer your other question then, 2 of the 3 he played went for 4 and the other hit him in the pad a foot outside off.

Gotchy got a bit on his mind at the minute
