Just checked the Tigers FB page, according to a poster there Webster has an ankle injury.

 

[TasSixer]

Shame about Webster, will be missed when we're 4/50 and he has to save us

 

[sherb]

6-299 after our not unusual top order collapse (3-33). A ton to the skipper and half-centuries to Weatherald & Hope.

I'll take that.

 

[Saints4ever]

300 on the board day 1 not a bad days play.

Looks like QLD are going in with a strong batting line up so hopefully can make our way to 400.

 

[madjoe]

Good nut by Neser on a road track. Tassie will need 400 at min

 

[sherb]

8-345 with Doran becoming the fourth player in the innings to reach 50.

 

[TasSixer]

Very batter friendly pitch in Qld

About time. Most shield pitches are awful bowler friendly shit tips, about time the bowlers have to do some work

 

[squirtle004]

Bulls batters are feasting on this pitch. Renshaw 128, Khawaja 69, Marnus 128*, Clayton 52*

 

[Aussie_boy]

Queensland just need to keep batting. Double ton would do Marnus no harm. Game set up nicely for Weibgen and Wildermuth to come in and play their natural games.

 

[madjoe]

Big chance for weatherald to ton by today to move ahead of Sam konstas in the pecking order

57 today to go with 67 in the first innings.

Didn't do his chances any harm albeit on a batsman friendly deck.

 

[corbies]

Ripper catch by Khawaja to get rid of Hope.

 

[sherb]

I'm happy to escape with a draw after Queensland used our attack for batting practice.

An excellent f-c debut for Chaudry, a five-for and 76* in the second innings with the match on the line.

From what I've seen Lachlan Hearne is one that will be around the scene for a while. Feel like he's another NSW blooded and then flicked too early.

A casualty of NSW insisting on picking Jason Sangha over and over again despite his failures at NSW. By the time NSW ran out of patience with Sangha, Hearne had already buggered off to Qld to play premier cricket for Toombul to push for a Bulls spot.

Swepson is having a good season, love to see a leggie do well

So much more consistent, isn't bowling those one or 2 pressure relieving bad balls every few overs that we have seen in the past. Loving how much more he is mixing up his pace and flight. The set up to Henry Hunt with the big slow loopy wide ones followed by the fast slider at the pads was quality, felt like he was thinking a ball ahead of the game with his plan. Could have had a few more wickets if his fielders hadn't let him on 3 occasions.
