Shield Round 4: New South Wales vs Victoria, Sydney Cricket Ground, 10-14 November

[hawkman]

Lazy from O'Neill.

Has a bit of Neser about him as a bat. One day he'll score FC centuries. Handy bowling all-rounder.

Lucky he can bowl because a batsman getting out to Abbott is a droppable offence

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Who did they replace him with?

Reserve Wk-batsman Ryan Hicks.

Not really. Abbott is a good domestic bowling all rounder. It was a bad shot but c'mon

 

[Art Vandelay_]

80 combined from the two duds. This pitch must be flat as hell.

 

[eddiesmith]

Looks flat. Set up perfectly for a Smith ton tomorrow

Yep, no surprises with this NSW lineup and Victoria’s strong bowling attack they’d go back to what they know best, the flattest track in Australia.

Averages 30 with the ball in FC cricket. That isn't that good.
Looking around at those playing in the Shield today Sutherland averages 25, O'Neill 20, Eliiott 30, Edwards 27, Bird 24, Bell 25, Webster 35, Doggett 26, McAndrew 26, Liam Scott 31, Thornton 26

Abbott is at the top end of the averages

Smith should be ashamed of his over rate too.
Light blue turds think they can get away with anything.

30 is a perfectly acceptable average for a FC level player with the ball. Should he be in the test squad? Probably not. Is he a good FC bowler? Yes.

Quality commentary from Cricket Australia.



Was played into the ground and rolled out to the fielder…

It’s a disgrace, they are an hour behind, how is this allowed? Yet the only penalty is a points penalty and no benefit to the opposition who’s being robbed of an opportunity to win the game.

 

[eddiesmith]

Great effort by Handscomb bringing up his century for the second time in 2 balls, this time not being denied by blind umpires.

Now to pile on the runs for the next 14 overs.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Handscomb moves past Hussey into 4th all time Shield runs for Victoria with his century today.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Undone by new ball skidding on.
Great innings nonetheless.

 

[eddiesmith]

Lazy end of day shot

 

[eth-dog]

Good ball

 

[Art Vandelay_]

-7 for overs. Ineligibility for the first test would have Smith taking it more seriously.

Irony is they won’t even come close to bowling 89 overs in a day during the test series!

England will probably in the high 70's and Australia in the low 80's

 

[eltrain]

For a Monday there was a pretty good crowd in yesterday. The Ladies and Members stands were well populated. If this game was played over a weekend they might have opened a bit of the Noble/Bradman stand as well.

 

[eth-dog]

11 overs to get bonus points. Hopefully the skip and Sammy can get us to 370+ and declare, although I wouldn't discount to his attack running through our tail at this point

 

[Drunkcat]

Lucky he can bowl because a batsman getting out to Abbott is a droppable offence

He bowls good bouncers.

 

[eth-dog]

Not sure why we're still batting. We aren't batting aggressively, we can't get any more bonus points. Have an hour at them before lunch.

Yeah, seems odd now. Don’t think Bolo is going to befit that much from batting

 

[eth-dog]

50 minutes before lunch. Hopefully grab a couple, and there's enough time to swing the ball around the seamers.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Pretty good seed from Boland to remove Konstas.
