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

[wolmeister]

Takes after his captain. Bland, boring sooks. Can play cricket though.

Absolutely, both of them can play. Not a huge fan of the sooking part though.

6 down now, Starc licking his lips at the prospect of running through the tail.

Only 18 mins till stumps though?

Thank Christ for that

Starc did get a hat trick in the first innings though so it's still squeaky bum time.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Every time I think this team is going somewhere they pull something like this.

Not good enough lads. Hold on at least.

I wouldnt put it past him either.

Hopefully Mini Torz has more blocks in him than my lego set.

Just saw that.

My wicket everybody.

Geez that was good captaincy from Smith to get Hazlewood to bowl around the wicket.

 

[CakeEater]

WA having a fair old collapse here.

As certain as the sun rising in the morning.

7/39 is almost like my 8th grade side over the weekend.

 

[grimlock]

Starc on to finish the tail off. And right on cue...

 

[corbies]

Starc is almost GOAT to the tail.

 

[eth-dog]

King pair for Moody. Bad luck WA.

 

[grimlock]

Classic Starc!

For all the positive talk before the season started, I don't see this team winning the Shield to be honest. Batting is just not good enough to win the tight matches or to fight out the tough draws. You need that to win a Shield.

 

[grimlock]

HATTRICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[corbies]

Wow!

 

[Aussie_boy]

How the hell do you lose that.

 

[jo172]

That's ridiculous

[La Dolce Vita]

Weak as piss WA

 

[Scotty_WCE]

Only the eighth ever instance of two hat-tricks in a first-class match for a bowler. First since 1978/79.

 

[Pedantic]

Did Starc get a hat-trick in each innings?

From 0/179 to 223 all out. That's a fair collapse by WA.
