Unless the Redbacks show more 2nd innings ticker like the past 2 matches, we could see the bizarre situation of a team making 500 in the 1st innings and the game concluding midway through day 3.

I can only assume they want to give Street a chance to press his case for a BBL gig.
If it was the middle of the day and you've been in the field for 3-4 hours, then you'd bat again to give the bowlers a rest. But they are rested now, they have there massages, a night's sleep. One quick wicket and you enforce the follow-on, no question.

Reckon even if Burns scores a hundred here Pucovski’s got his test sppr.
Having said that, Queensland are batting again. Geez

In all seriousness though it could actually be to give Burns a chance to save his spot in the Aus side. Amongst other reasons obviously.
I thought the idea was to win the Sheffield Shield. Cheap 2nd innings runs against the Redbacks attack isn't going to be enough to persuade selectors.

Didn't work anyway the crab is already out lol
Just what Australia needed, Labuschagne having a run of outs.
Street powering his way to 14 from 47 balls.

Bosisto and Pope are great for Khawaja trying to rebuild his average
Does Khawaja really think you need over 450 against Redbacks? Too much ultra-conservative captaincy in Sheffield Shield these days.

Maybe keeping his bowlers out of some of the heat (36 degrees and blowing a gale today), letting the wicket deteriorate and letting Swepson have a 4th innings pitch to bowl on
It might be overkill but we have successfully batted out a couple of games so far to be fair.

Pretty ugly shot from McInerney
Genuine half volley, feet nowhere, terrible batswing across the line
The sort of shot you hit on Day 1 of preseason during throwdowns when you're all rusty as hell

He played the entire 2018-19 season and averaged 22. We really do have nothing in reserve.

Correct - ordinary footwork. His dismissal in the first innings was from poor footwork as well.
Not sure who else they can bring in? Unfortunately Dizzy is stuck with this lot and will have to wait until the end of the season to make wholesale changes. It would be very interesting to see what they do after the BBL break in terms of selections. There are some spots there for the taking if one or 2 of the younger fellas on the list can make runs in the meantime.

Bosisto looking awful here. Nearly ran himself out (didn't even try to get back in his crease initially) then lbw too high. Struggling to get off the mark.
He'll probably make 50 having said all that
Hunt looking good (will be out next ball I imagine)

Hunt the only positive out of this whole season. Well Head too but you'd expect a test cricketer to make runs on these wickets.
