Pretty rare these days to see such a high run rate in Shield cricket.

 

[eth-dog]

This is one of the more out of the blue enormous knocks I can remember.

Yeah but it's so quintessentially Weatherald. It's his one wood. Just bludgeons teams randomly.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Bad light stops play with Weatherald on 185, Doran on 89. I would have thought the light needed to be almost black to worry the batsmen too much

 

[Hamingja]

Previously only against Tassie / Hobart Hurricanes

Also WA once or twice

Also WA once or twice

I think he scored twin centuries against WA when SA made a record chase against us at some point.

What happened to Weatherald post 2018 is truly bizarre.

I was convinced after about 25 List A games he'd be the opener in ODI's post Warner/Finch, such was his ability to churn out tons in that format

 

[Aussie_boy]

Tassie just gonna slog til 100 overs?

 

[Cleavy]

Tassie all out 461

 

[sherb]

Yeah but it's so quintessentially Weatherald. It's his one wood. Just bludgeons teams randomly.

I was surprised he could only get one Shield match for Tassie last season, given how ordinary Ward and Jewell were (bar for that double hundred by Jewell).

 

[Cleavy]

ton to Renshaw

 

[eth-dog]

Only chance of a result is if Tassie roll the last before the follow on.

 

[sherb]

Queensland openers put on 56 but now both are gone.

2-63, still 107 behind. A bit of pressure on Queensland here.

Webster showing why he is one of the best slip fielders in the country with the catch to dismiss Renshaw.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

ton to Renshaw

First score over 37 in the past 16 red ball innings. I supposed people will be wanting him back in the Test team now

well no, but it's a step in the right direction for him.

 

[Cleavy]

Meredith has 3 wickets and the game has swung back in Tassie's favour. Qld still trail by 41 runs with 5 wickets remaining.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Angus Lovell looked unlucky, I'm not entirely sure he got a nick to that.

 

[eth-dog]

Wonder how many overs it takes to get called. If these two bat for the first 10 I'd call it.

I think they'll go as deep as possible.

 

[Cleavy]

it's a draw

There's some genuinely great slip fielders in the Shield at the moment. Handscomb for Victoria and Bancroft for WA are both elite and Jason Sangha has fly paper for hands (if only he could bat). Hard to argue Webster isn't the best of the lot though.

It's hard to say. I think Handscomb makes them look easier than most, but Webster the most spectacular though. Short has genuine buckets as well.

Ash Chandrasinghe has shown plenty at first, Gully, bat pad as well, but has the same issue as Sangha. Renshaw is also very good at first.
