Sheffield Shield Round 9: New South Wales v Victoria @ Drummoyne Oval

[LukeParkerno1]

so yes they will have a sook then

I'll be very disappointed as a NSW fan if we whinge. The first innings was utterly disgraceful, 0-50 and we throw away 6 for stuff all. That's where we lost it, and it was utterly dumb cricket shots

 

[SunGirl89]

Victoria's 10th wicket partnership in the 2nd innings, between our numbers 10 and 11, was more than any of the 7 in NSW's 2nd innings.

NSW can have no excuse about their performance.

 

[SunGirl89]

assuming VICs win, can someone give me an updated points tally?

Jon Holland has a higher score batting than our whole side

Enough said

If I’m the vics I’m not letting O’keefe have a runner. He was able to virtually run a 2 on that ball he got out on and was then able to bowl in the second dig..fit enough to bat without one in my book

I think

Position	Team	Matches	Wins	Draws	Losses	Bat Bonus Points	Bowl Bonus Points	Total Points
1	Victoria	9	5	3	1	9.21	8.20	50.31
2	New South Wales	9	4	3	2	4.36	7.10	38.46
3	Queensland	9	3	2	4	3.72	7.10	30.82
4	Tasmania	8	3	2	3	2.14	7.30	29.44
5	Western Australia	8	3	2	3	2.34	6.10	28.44
6	South Australia	9	0	4	5	4.41	7.00	15.41

i didnt think runners were allowed anymore

 

[SunGirl89]

Players to reach double figures in both innings this week:
3 - VIC
1 - NSW, QLD, SA

 

[Voice of the G]

i didnt think runners were allowed anymore

I think that is test cricket.No he should not be allowed a runner if he can bowl.

 

[grimlock]

Won't matter, it's not going to make a difference.

What's the difference? He won't last long!

Principles I guess...and he shits me!

 

[theyellowsash]

Principles I guess...and he shits me!

its not even just a principle. if he is able to bowl and field, using a runner to bat is cheating.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

If the injury is obtained during a match I have no issue in a runner.

It’s usually hilarious anyway as they always get run out lol

 

[eth-dog]

I honestly don't see the big deal. I've had a former captain do his hammy in the field and just stayed in slips the rest of the day and then get a runner when he was batting. Sometimes you can just be able to do that.

Agree but he bowled.

 

[SunGirl89]

So he can bowl 28 overs but he needs a runner? Either hit boundaries or walk a single when you should run 2.

Ban runners in all forms of cricket FFS!

he should not have been allowed to bowl almost 30 overs

 

[eth-dog]

Agree but he bowled.

So did my captain (off about 3 steps mind).

So you think runners have no place in local cricket either then?

 

[eth-dog]

He bowls off like 2 steps, who cares.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Did I hear something about them shortening the shield final to 4 days ? Or is that not in place until next year ? Or something I've completely imagined ?

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Agree but he bowled.

Off literally 1 step. Was pretty sad to see really but can’t fault his commitment

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Both Queensland and Victoria fail miserably in their 1st Innings but manage to win their games comfortably.

 

[SunGirl89]

The idiot took more than 2 steps batting with a runner when he should have stayed in his crease. Maybe he also has a brain injury.
