NSW XIII

• 17. Kurtis PATTERSON (c)
• 77. Sean ABBOTT
• Nick BERTUS (FC debut)
• 5. Harry CONWAY
• 9. Trent COPELAND
• 18. Jack EDWARDS
• Liam HATCHER (SS debut)
• 21. Moises HENRIQUES
• Baxter HOLT (+)(FC debut)
• 3. Daniel HUGHES
• 36. Nick LARKIN
• 23. Jason SANGHA
• 76. Greg WEST

In: Abbott, Bertus, Hatcher, Holt
Out: Peter NEVILL, Stephen O'KEEFE

Nevill in doubt as his wife is about to give birth to their first child. He is still in Sydney while the rest of the squad has traveled to Tasmania. If the baby doesn't arrive in the next day, Baxter Holt will deputise for him with the gloves with Kurtis Patterson as the captain.

Both Sangha and Edwards scored centuries against Tasmania in Round 3 but neither player has passed 50 in the 6 matches since. Nick Bertus is in line for a debut after good form for the U23s. Sean Abbott still missing with injury.

Tassie to win so we can be riding the last round home.

Updated Tas squad in OP. Also Nevill confirmed out with Holt debuting

 

[eth-dog]

Good luck to the kid. Can't really see the point of playing Edwards this game with Moises bowling so I suspect he may miss for Bertus or Hatcher

 

[grimlock]

Sorry I stuffed up NSW's squad. Abbott was in for SOK.

Final changes
Abbott, Bertus, and Holt in for Nevill, O'Keefe, and West

Meaning only 3 specialist bowlers for NSW and more reliance on Sangha, Henriques and Edwards

Kingston and Milenko for Pyecroft and Willis

 

[eth-dog]

Kingston? Lol

 

[grimlock]

Have a look at Hughes's dismissal. Doolan at second slip drops a sitter but Wade at first slip manages to dive and pluck it just off the ground. Great reflexes.

He can do no wrong.

 

[grimlock]

Big responsibility on the inexperienced middle order now - Sangha, Bertus, Edwards and Holt.

 

[grimlock]

 

[grimlock]

Ah, thought Edwards and Sangha were going well but both fall short of 50 again. Looking precarious again.

 

[Tigerssaints]

why why why, win the toss. and bowl .did the same last week against Vics and lost

We won the toss and batted, and it was a draw.

 

[Hamingja]

Kingston? Lol

The bowling selections have been strange in every game since the big bash break really.

375 looks a massive total based on the few clips of the pitch I saw on the news.

 

[eth-dog]

Officially a two horse race. NSW in the box seat to play at the Junction.

 

[eth-dog]

Okay, so if:

NSW win, they're through
WA win, NSW Draw/Lose, WA are through
WA Draw, NSW Lose, NSW are through

Agree , the lack of playing and sticking with SPINNERS. this is across All Tassies men and women's teams
they must play games to improve and put under pressure

I would be looking at getting Short to be the All Rounder. Bowls his left arm wrist spinners and can play as the aggressor.

 

[grimlock]

Think WA slightly ahead now

 

[eth-dog]

Think WA slightly ahead now

NSW will be desperate for early wickets tomorrow.

 

[Aussie_boy]

Kingston? Lol

Yeah this confuses me, what did Rogers do wrong I wonder?

 

[eth-dog]

Injured you'd think. They need to find a good spin all rounder.

 

[eth-dog]

If these two can both get to 50 you'd assume NSW would struggle to win.

 

[eth-dog]

120 run lead, 40 overs left in the day. I'd be trying to get 200 in 44 overs and give them 320 off 90.

 

[eth-dog]

16 byes. What's happening with Inglis?
