Game 14: New South Wales v Western Australia @ SCG, November 22-25

[Westend]

Okay Phillippe over to you do something please !!!

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Is the pitch as poor as the scores indicate?

 

[eth-dog]

Feel like anything over 200 will be very hard to get.

 

[largebus]

Our top order is jekyll and Hyde, either they both get starts or they both flop.
Need to bat out the day and get a 300 lead to feel comfortable here.

 

[CakeEater]

Bloody NSW putting fusarium in the pitch I tells ya

 

[BGman]

This time Philippe did get a start and was looking good specially against the spin. Just wafted at one he needed to leave.

Second time in match Stobo is scoring vital runs.

 

[largebus]

Way to let them back in it. We came back against QLD so there's no way NSW can't do it either.

 

[JackOutback]

Are there literal grenades on this pitch, 17 wickets in the day so far.

 

[eth-dog]

Any runs from here are a bonus for WA. Hard to see NSW chasing 200 on this deck with their batting.

 

[Westend]

Win lose or draw I am getting pretty annoyed with our batting atm

Too inconsistent ...I know we will be getting players back but we really should not be giving the opposition a sniff

 

[Westend]

well played Stobo 32 valuable runs still going

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Some real stoborn resistance here.

[Taylor]

The headline writes itself.

 

[Aussie_boy]

Whenever I've seen Stobo he's been fairly good, would've thought he'd deserved a few chances over the last couple of years ahead of the likes of Moody and Gannon.

 

[JackOutback]

His batting certainly seems up to scratch.

Glad to see WA scrape their way past a 250 lead, you'd have to think that would be enough, but who knows for sure.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Props to Short as well, good uncharacteristic knock by him.

 

[Beutbrute]

Good innings by Short there

 

[largebus]

All over, should be enough but you never know. Disappointing that Short was the top scorer.

9 wickets for green on shield debut ain't bad either.

 

[Tugga27]

Very harsh IMO.

You're not taking the pitches into account.
This one's obviously hard.

Made 400 plus in the last game.

Another lively pitch against Qld.
They collapsed with Renshaw, Labs and Kwawaja in the side.

It's different if we're the only side collapsing, but we aren't.

 

[BGman]

Is the pitch as poor as the scores indicate?

Yes apparently it is full of cracks creating variable bounce which is helping both quicks and spinners. So definitely a bowlers track. Twice in this match the Blues have been unable to finish the job when they have had WA 7 down for around 100. With two of the worst players of spin in state cricket opening for us plus a degrading surface it will be a bridge too far for the Blues to get this target.

 

[CakeEater]

6/76.

Some ordinary shots by nsw here

Yeah I know tuggs and both sides have collapsed in recent games...you are right

but I do some fragility there with our batting order atm....

just frustrated with Phillppe atm

 

[Westend]

Props to Short as well, good uncharacteristic knock by him.

thought stobo played very well

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

I see Victoria are 5/50 as well. What's happened to batting in this country?
