Shield Round 4: New South Wales vs Victoria, Sydney Cricket Ground, 10-14 November

[eltrain]

Ladies stand packed today. A fair few in the members have got the laptop out “working remotely”.

Davies stiff imo. Batting out of his crease and there was enough doubt that was hitting the stumps imo.

 

[Voice of the G]

The key wicket is Smith,is it time to bring Boland back to clean up the tail?

 

[eddiesmith]

Name a more iconic duo than Scott Boland and Sam Konstas stumps!!!

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Not bad when you can leave out Perry and Elliott just makes a seamless inclusion to the team.

 

[Footy Smarts]

Elliott is making some of the NSW bats look silly with the lift he's getting. Smith looks like he's playing on a different pitch to the rest of them.

In fairness, Smith has spent much of his career looking like he’s batting on a different pitch to everyone else.

I remember back in the 80s early 90s, your cricket club gave out tickets to see sheffield shield in Victoria, wonder if they still do and if other states do it as well.

Smith gone running out of partners. This is shaping as a rout.

 

[eth-dog]

Follow on will be enforced you'd think. No reason not to.

Fair. He looked ominous for the poms though. I can't remember a false shot till he got out running out of partners while the rest of the batters made it look like a mine field.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

If we get this done with without more runs NSW will need to score 400 on this toughening pitch just to give us a scare.
Send them back in I say.

 

[magpie_marty]

Should Vic's bat or enforce the follow on?
May as well bat i think.

Yeah, he looks in great nick. Pretty funny a few yesterday were calling this a road. Doesn’t look like a road right now.

I struggle to understand how Moody played the last shield game before Elliott.

Nah I reckon batting will keep getting harder and there's no rain forecast. Go out and put another 250 on the board in quickish time then let them try and survive a day and a half on a wearing pitch.

all free for everyone these days. Plenty of people ducking in on their lunch break and heading out after an hour or so.

The game would look very different if Handscomb wasn't dropped on 0.

 

[Drunkcat]

NSW have been our bitch for a long time now.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

eddiesmith Captain Sutherland has Vics +1 on the over rate.
Shame the light blue turds have no respect for the game.

How good is that love that idea, come on mums and dads take your kids and have a picnic.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

O'Neill's cap looks like he's a debutant while Murphy's makes him look like a 15 year veteran.

I believe it was Benjamin Disraeli who said “I put it to the member opposite me, that catches are what wins matches” but I may be mistaken

Nah, send them back in, back ourselves to roll them and only bat once.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

NSW warming up. Looks like no follow-on.
