Shield Round 1: September 24-27, 2021. South Australia v Western Australia. Karen Rolton Oval, Adelaide.

Cam Green any word on if he is ready to bowl?

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

20 Shield tons for Shaun Marsh, 8 of them against the Redbacks including three in three games at Karen Rolton Oval

Pope might do better if he had a captain that didn't continually mistreat him. His confidence must be rock bottom.

I have no idea why Head rates his own bowling so highly, the stats speak for themselves. Give it up.

18 pointless overs

Pope Bowled 7 overs for the day as a front line spinner

Will point to his ER

Well yeah, your first half a dozen were to unsettled batsmen and didn't trouble them at all.

 

[The Fugitive]

McAndrew is an all rounder but can he bat top 7? Scott should be back next game with Doggett too

I think one of the rookies is as well (Corey Kelly?). He played in the 1-dayers last year and has good raps on him?

Came in here to post this, I always feel like Shaun Marsh dominates Shield cricket but it's probably just my perception as a Redbacks fan.

I seriously cbf even watching this stuff anymore, same s**t different year, hate these games at suburban grounds. Well not really suburban but you get what I mean.

Cam Green any word on if he is ready to bowl?

Well he bowled 5 overs in the one day game on Wednesday - so I would imagine so.

 

[Richard Cranium]

Is Joe Mennie still a Redback? Haven't heard anything about him for a bit.

 

[BrownYouGun]

Someone at CA needs to sit Head down and force him to watch his nude ‘off spin’ on repeat until he gets the picture. Shocking bowler and to bowl 18 on Day 1 is just letting the opposition play themselves into the game under no pressure

Better than Pope

Surely there's some sort of simulator where he can face himself bowling, that should get the message home. Playing 2 dud spinners and him is a recipe for disaster. Doggett/Mennie can't come back quick enough.

 

[BGman]

Philippe adding hurt to the Spiders. This guy's timing of his drives is exquisite.

Good plan by Grant foiled with short leg spilling a tuffie.

 

[eth-dog]

Spank them around until lunch and declare

 

[Westend]

Ah yes good start by Shaun and cam …good to see josh continue on his good form with the bat from the one day game .. get to his hundred and declare that’s the plan for me

 

[eth-dog]

South Australia just don't look dangerous with the ball. Desperately need Doggett in the side ASAP

 

[hotchilli]

Kerber hasn't impressed. Not sure how he is getting a game.

Played okay on debut last year

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Pope gets a couple on lunch. Trav must have remembered that he was playing

I'm always reluctant to label a pitch a road until the Redbacks have batted so I won't

Not a red ball bowler at all imho

Batting looks promising though and a jet in the field

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Hilarious passage there

Rocchicioli edges to slip off Pope, dropped.

Batters take off for a single. Kerber at point sprints in and falls flat on his back trying to pick up the ball. Wild throw. Rocchicioli falls over trying to make his ground. Safe.

Goes down as a single

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Matt Kelly is a decent bowler. Good spots, asks questions almost every ball.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Hopeless running again from Weatherald.

Should have been an easy single.

Didn't back up, slow taking off. Then stuffed up his bat slide so that it stuck in the ground short of the crease. Luckily the throw missed.

Just an absolute amateur. No awareness, concentration or care and he's been like this for years.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Morris going at 6 an over. Shocked to be sitting here…

 

[eth-dog]

So yeah, this will be a draw. Can SA work themselves to get more bonus points than WA? They should be able to

He’s basically Moody but even more expensive.
