Shield Queensland vs Tasmania, Riverway Stadium (Townsville), Wednesday 27-30 Oct, 11:00 AM AEDT

[SSwans2011]

Didn't see this Queensland bowling line-up taking 20 wickets, but a very solid performance thus far.

 

[corbies]

A quickfire 32 off 107 from Street should do QLD nicely here.

 

[Hamingja]

Fairly charitable declaration by QLD.

I mean Tas scored stuff all in the first dig but could end up needing like 300 off the last day which isn't impossible.

 

[Hamingja]

Tas end up 1/127 at stumps. 311 more required to win on the last day.

Would only be a 5% chance of chasing it down but really don't deserve to have any chance at all to win the match after that first innings.

Especially considering that bowling lineup minus Sandhu and Wildermuth have about 15 matches between them. Well done to Usman for giving them a chance after his comments against Tassie's negative tactics a few weeks back, could have easily waited another 30 or 40mins this afternoon to push it to 500+ the way Marnus and Burns were going

 

[BGman]

Anyone but him, I couldn't tell you what the Brisbane Grade Cricket scene looks like.

Didn't one of the Prestwidge brothers earn a rookie contract. They also have the towering lefty Willans.

 

[BGman]

Silk shoulders arms and his stumps are rattled. Oh dear he was one of those I was most relying on to make a sizeable dent in this run chase.

 

[Seedsfan]

Bloody brainless Gilkes. Reminded me of how Head or Harris get themselves out when set. Handscomb and Harris showed us yesterday that patience is needed on this deck.

You may want the NSW v Vic thread

Yes, Will Prestwidge. Huge talent, bowls 140+ already but still very young, just turned 19 i think. The lack of 2nd XI cricket is probably hurting the chances of these super young kids getting Shield matches, I think he has only played last year plus the start of this year in 1st Grade so he has played next to no proper red ball cricket.

 

[Hamingja]

Just survival for Tassie now with the two early wickets

 

[Seedsfan]

Great fight by the Tasmanian’s, great performance from Kuhnemann. Just highlights the depth in Qld cricket at the moment

 

[eth-dog]

Kudos to Meredith. Always thought of as a bunny but should bat ahead of Bell now.

Absolutely, probably close a third string Qld bowling lineup with Neser, Stek, Swepson, Bartlett, Edwards and Stanlake not playing. Quite surprised by Sandhu, there was talk that he had gained a yard or so of pace since coming up here and that looked to true.
