Sheffield Shield Round 10: QLD v WA @ Gabba

Sheffield Shield Round 10: QLD v WA @ Gabba
Tuesday 15th March 2016 - Friday 18th March 2016

Queensland (2nd 45.66 points) v Western Australia (5th 36.18 points)

While a Queensland win would see them qualify for, and possibly host the final, WA have a very slim chance of making it themselves. They would require not only Victoria and Tasmania to win their respective matches but hope to garner enough bonus points themselves while at the same time restricting Queensland from any bonus points of their own, as well as winning the match outright. Not mathematically impossible, but very unlikely

Why not play Turner as your front line spinner?

Realistically they can't make it. Need to go at over 4 an over for 100 overs and get Queensland all out in 100 overs, and win. Might as well give the kid his FC debut.

The talent is there for the first part of the equation...the lack of Paris, Dorff or NCN makes the second part impossible.

 

[Torz]

Warriors elect to bowl first.

Richardson in for Paris, Whiteman in for Turner.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Paris injured...seriously can our fast bowlers stay on the park for more than 2 games!

 

[JackOutback]

Paris only missed a couple of games. Played most of the season, plus some internationals.

 

[grimlock]

What a start by the Warriors!

 

[Torz]

Go Jhye!

 

[Choomah]

How talls Richardson? Looks like he's about 4ft

 

[Torz]

Not very. About 6ft.

 

[JackOutback]

Not very. About 6ft.

That's normal

 

[Torz]

That's normal

Yes, but relative to most fast bowlers, quite short.

 

[Choomah]

Not very. About 6ft.

oh he looks a lot smaller then that haha

 

[Charlie Pannam]

Richardson is short he played a game in the big bash and i was surprised how small he was, but from memory got up around the 143KM mark, not bad for a kid.

Malcolm Marshall was one of the greatest fast bowlers to have played the game and was under 6ft.

 

[JackOutback]

Realistically they can't make it. Need to go at over 4 an over for 100 overs and get Queensland all out in 100 overs, and win. Might as well give the kid his FC debut.

So the bowlers are doing their bit. All we need now is a quick fire 500 in return.

With the position SA are in it'll be tough.

 

[JackOutback]

Yeah, left far too much to do.

 

[Beutbrute]

What happened to Paris?

 

[The_Reaper]

What happened to Paris?

It says shin in the OP?

 

[1990crow]

Come on WA!

 

[Van_Dyke]

Atta boy Jhye!

 

[Torz]

Queensland all out for 147. Hogan finished with 4/29. Gees, he'll be sorely missed.

Pitch seemed to be playing better towards the end, hopefully it means we can pile on a big one.
