Shield Match 17: Queensland vs Western Australia, The Gabba, 6th-9th March at 11:00 am AEDT

[Torz]

The GABBA does plenty with the ball until WA play there. We attract roads for some reason.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Good stuff from Carder this match.

Curators should lose their jobs if they keep producing pitches like this.

This is the first flat Gabba shield wicket in years

You guys were 7/53 in the 4th innings at the Gabba last season before Green and Kelly saved it for yall.

s**t wicket disappointing seeing NSW manage to get a win and go top

Curators need their heads read

500 and then the opposition making 600 isn’t exciting one single bit

its not a crack at the Gabba in particular (waca probably the worst)

and it’s not a case of one bad wicket and your out

however the shield is becoming too heavily skewed towards batting of late

let’s see a good contest

Yep

The whole comp needs a revamp I think.
Normally when a side bats first for a day and a half and makes 500, there's only
one side who can win it unless there is a bad declaration, like SA/NSW today.

Reckon they should look at having a compulsory batting declaration after 96 overs say.
If you get bowled out for 80 overs, the opposing team gets the balance of the overs.
And maybe bring back first innings points as well.

Yes I agree, bring back first innings points.

Do what they do in county - give the away team the choice
