Shield Match 9: Tasmania v Western Australia , Hobart, Nov 21-24 , 10:30 AM AEDT

[footyfan1978]

...any chance of a wicket?

Given how green it was at start of game, it amazing how few and far wickets have happened since it was 4 for 47 yesterday.

 

[Crashy]

Baffles me how Gannon has been able to have a career, straight up baseball pitcher, one of the worst chuckers I've seen

Better action than what it used to be

 

[CrazyJoeFevola]

Better action than what it used to be

For sure, from about 35 degrees down to 20

 

[Torz]

Ffs another sitter dropped. Goodwin at short midwicket.

 

[Westend]

bad day for the warriors

it happens

 

[Torz]

And now fourth catch dropped. Cam Green at slip. We’ve lost the plot.

 

[Torz]

Morris is also injured.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

We’re back baby.

 

[Westend]

We’re back baby.

???

0/190

 

[Carbine Chaos]

???

0/190

Exactly.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Both his centuries were on roads yet the one v Sri Lanka he came in at 3/28 and the one v NZ was made against Boult, Southee and Wagner who were 3/4 of the bowling attack that would go on to be World Test Champions and NZ made 148 & 240 on the same pitch where 6 of their top 7 were in the top 7 of the WTC side?

No further development from the 27yo Head but heaps from the 29yo Whiteman.

Yes, I raised an eyebrow when I read "no further development" when Australian Test history is littered with batsmen who never came good until their late 20s.

 

[Tugga27]

About to get worse. 0-200 opening partnership by the Tigers.

Not Head. Unless he finds a way to convert good starts into triple figures. To do that he has to develop a more secure technique and curb his rash play when he feels in. I just dont see it. What I do see are blokes in shield now with those good attributes that if given the chance will take Head's place.

The trouble I see with Head is, he always looks like he could get out next ball, no matter if he's set or not.

When the really good batsman are in form, you wonder how you will get them out.

He always looks vulnerable to me.

Head's played 19 Tests. Steve Waugh didn't make his 1st 100 until his 27th Test. He ended up okay

Some NSW players and players with surname Marsh are afforded more chances than most.

 

[1990crow]

Tim Ward continues to score runs. Might have a future as an opener.
Hunt and Ward couple of talents finally showing a bit.

Which NSW players?

 

[The Falcon Strike]

Richardson bowling tight and taking wickets on a batting friendly surface is just as impressive as his bag on a green deck

 

[Torz]

Lance Morris won’t feature for the rest of the match, out with a side strain.

 

[Tugga27]

Gee

We've been pretty hard hit with injuries already this year.
Smarsh, Paris and now Morris.

Richo also had a scare and Whiteman missed a game with concussion.

 

[kane249]

3 quick wickets this morning so far

If only they had held their catches yesterday

 

[BGman]

Richardson continues his terrific form by sending most of Tassies brittle middle order back to the sheds. This rabble is now undoing all the good work of openers Ward and Jewell yesterday. Time for batting changes TAS Cricket.

 

[Santana]

Have to go with Richardson over Starc, just have to.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Have to go with Richardson over Starc, just have to.

This. I can't see any justification for keeping Starc in, outside of providing footmarks for our other fading bowler.

Richardson has to play the First Test.

I hope so Carbs I really do
