Shield Sheffield Shield Round 1: South Australia vs Western Australia, Karen Rolton Oval, 10/10/2020 @ 11 AM AEST

[Pykie]

I think it's the first 2 or 3 games

Still the back, or something different?

Still bacl

 

[Redline]

I had a good day at the game today. I mainly watched the Redbacks but managed to watch NSW in the nets from a far and a bit of Queensland v Tasmania. That game is closed to the public but I could see through the fencing. It must be strange for the players to have all the states in the one location.

The worst part was Agar getting hit, that was scary to see.

There are usually people watching on the hill over there

Who hit him?

 

[eth-dog]

Who hit him?

Winter. Good bumper, 5 k's quicker than the few previous ones

 

[Redline]

Who hit him?

Winter. Just before lunch.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Is Turner still not bowling?

 

[RedTinMania]

Is Turner still not bowling?

Remember reading somewhere that he was bowling again recently. Then again that has been claimed pre season before only to amount to nothing, so I am still taking that with a grain of salt

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

You've got to love some of the posters on here. WA making runs, aren't they fantastic? The moment SA start making runs, the pitch is a road, curator to blame.

 

[The Falcon Strike]

Still the back, or something different?

Not the back - he picked up a side strain.

However he has had to remodel his bowling action (hence the side strain) and they don't think it's ready for Shield cricket yet.

Pity he can't go on loan to a SA premier club at some stage to try it out.

As mentioned probably game 3 or 4 he will bowl

Well if SA are making runs it is a pretty fair indication that it's a road in fairness

Will take a while to get used to Travis Head using Grey Nicolls.

Are we going to see declarations here and a Day 4 run chase? Or will this just plod on with teams collecting their first innings performance points and a bit of match practice?

Wouldn’t be confident setting any target to chase really if I were WA

I reckon that you'll declare on whatever you're on at 100 overs, there'll be a negotiation for a target for you guys, maybe 400 on the last day to make it interesting? So 18 more overs, maybe 75 more runs, then 52 overs for WA to get another 240

 

[LukeParkerno1]

It is a joke there even needs to be sporting declarations- these curators need to be fired

 

[eth-dog]

It's lunch now so Head and Marsh should be negotiating. 13 more overs at 4 an over gives WA a 182 run lead. 52 overs left in the day after the declaration, go at 4 an over which gives SA 390 runs to get on the least day from 96 overs, which is a tick over 4 an over.

What's the point? It's first game of the season and can you honestly say a side is going to take 10 wickets to win in the second innings? Highly optimistic. The chasing side would only have two results possible and one of them is not a loss!

 

[ioppolo]

Just get some time in the middle and blow some cobwebs off. Nothing else to gain really

Yep and fire the curators who have produced a shocking wicket

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Sometimes you have to look at the end goal. You'd hate to miss the final by a point or two when you could have just taken the points here and made the final. Sometimes you have to swallow your pride. Yes it's boring but it is the right call

It's South Australia. Your argument is invalid.

So let’s just gift WA a win...

Produce a fair wicket not that hard

 

[Perty4]

Agar 5 wickets, is it turning or just SA being SA?
