Sheffield Shield Round 2: New South Wales v Western Australia @ Hurstville Oval

[LukeParkerno1]

Agreed. We are playing D/N shield games - need to have up-to-date venues.
Frustrating.
Playing for first innings points I think. Starting early tomorrow.

Be lucky to get a ball bowled tomorrow it's awful weather around Sydney tomorrow. Heavy rain expected. Clearing for Tuesday though

This round isn't d/n, and they don't have 1st innings points now.

 

[Andronicus]

How are the points determined? Is it just a runs/wickets ratio sort of thing?

0.1 for every wicket in the first 100 overs, 0.01 for every run after 200 in the first 100.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Be nice if bancroft really goes on with it

 

[grimlock]

Was Inglis dropped or injured?

 

[Andronicus]

0.1 for every wicket in the first 100 overs, 0.01 for every run after 200 in the first 100.

Ah cheers.

And that's on top of any outright points?

 

[eth-dog]

Correct.

 

[Beutbrute]

Disappointing batting display from the warriors, but a fair effort from Bangers to carry his bat

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Starc on fire!

He is the tale enders worst nightmare!

 

[Beutbrute]

They know he's going for the Yorker on the stumps but still can't do anything about it!

Those balls would have got Bancroft out almost!

 

[grimlock]

The Moody lbw looked like missing by a long way.

Edit: On slow-mo it hit the back pad, I originally thought front pad

 

[reggie]

Was Inglis dropped or injured?

Dropped effectively, playing Futures game starting today. WA wanted to play the extra bowler with Short coming in so decided to leave Inglis out

 

[Torz]

Bit of sun on this pitch and it's really flattened out.

Probably won't be flat when NSW bowl though

True but still not scoring any points is frustrating!

 

[KBLT]

I'm pretty sure Patterson should have been out lbw a few times so far

 

[eth-dog]

I'd be going for a 12 an over for 5 overs situation if I were NSW.

I'd declare overnight ball will move the most first thing.

That would be incredibly stupid. Of course you would.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

That would be incredibly stupid. Of course you would.

Why? Have to take 10 wickets to win. 270 is plenty with our attack.

The pitch has flattened out enormously. 260 in 96 overs is easy if you can avoid getting a wicket taken in the first 15.

I'd back our attack- we basically have the Australian attack!

Batting for half an hour is pointless.

 

[Kyptastic]

Big chance here for SMarsh and Bancroft to push test claims against a test quality attack with Renshaw's early season failures.
