Shield Sheffield Shield Round 4: New South Wales v Western Australia @ SCG

Henriques > Smith

Strange dismissal of Smith.

Strange dismissal of Smith.

Very weird but it was some quality keeping from Inglis. Smith seemed like he didn't think he hit it though.

 

[grimlock]

How express is Kelly? Inglis standing up to the stumps for him.

 

[corbies]

It'll be interesting to see how O'Keefe and Lyon bowl on this pitch given how ineffective Agar has looked.

How express is Kelly? Inglis standing up to the stumps for him.

Low to mid 130s from what I can recall in the Big Bash. Think Inglis standing up says more about how sluggish the pitch is than anything else

 

[Belnakor]

Hard to remember Smith playing an innings like this.

last ashes in aus he basically dropped anchor and made 100 off a similar amount if deliveries

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Would be swell if one of our 4 test players, or even trundler SOK would hurry up and get SOS out so we don’t have to suffer that campaigner this summer.

So what was Smith like? Imperious as usual?

 

[corbies]

That SMarsh wicket was yuck.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Glad Marsh didn’t make too many, makes me ill thinking he’s even a remote chance at a recall

 

[ioppolo]

I doubt NSW will bat again

 

[wolmeister]

Two set WA batsman throw their wickets away and there is a collapse. What a surprise....not. A side full of pretenders.

What would your Test side be?

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Any chance of a bit of fight with the bat? No?

Okay.

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

To be fair, a couple of those deliviries from the best bowler in the world were nasty and unplayable

After March and Short got themselves out. They were set and neither got an unplayable. But yes, WA will use the excuse that they were playing against a test attack etc.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

What would your Test side be?

Right now?

Warner
Khawaja or Harris (dead set who cares the opener will be rubbish)
Lab
Smith
Wade
Pucovski

Etc

 

[grimlock]

Interesting, with 5 bowlers including 2 spinners and also Henriques if required I thought NSW would enforce the follow-on.

Promoted Henriques to open for quick runs I suppose.

 

[grimlock]

Lyon opening the bowling

 

[ioppolo]

0/98 declared. One of the more obscure scores you're bound to see.

 

[grimlock]

Starc doing what he does best, knocking over tailenders.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

New South Wales have been amazing so far this season.

 

[wolmeister]

New South Wales have been amazing so far this season.

They’re performing as they should be given they’ve got Australia’s best test bat, and the Australian attack in the side. Not sure why you would be so surprised?

Just a shame he has a heart the size of a pea.

Yeah fair point, Cummins didn't play the first few shield games I don't think, but your point still stands.
