So, does Alex Doolan bowl spin or? The rest have their bowling listed as mediums

Doolan used to keep at grade level so I don't think he really bowls anything, I suspect we'll rely on our pacers to take the 20 and use Wade and Silk for military mediums to rest the bowlers.

On another note, well deserved call up for Pyrcroft. Been the best bowler at grade level in Tassie for years now, faced him once when I was about 14 and lasted one ball

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

SA going back to their favoured playbook - pick four quicks and bowl first

 

[jackess]

Milenko would be shattered to miss out on playing the Redbacks

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

2/39. Tassie fighting pretty hard here.

They'd be delighted if they can get to lunch only 2 down. Winter had it swinging but was a bit down legside from what I saw.

Worrall is bowling a treat.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Silk's lbw was a poor leave but didn't look to be hitting the stumps

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

4/99 and now the key partnership - Bailey and Wade.

Redbacks players always talk about 'not winning the key moments' in their many, many post-loss interviews. Well, here it is.

 

[Aussie_boy]

It was almost a given that Bailey would make runs.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Bailey and Paine gone!

 

[corbies]

Wade should really be batting 3 in this side. He gets stranded way too often.

They really are costing themselves runs having him at six. Today a clear example of him having to go hard and not have the chance to make a proper knock.

How many overs do we have to bat?

8 I think

Should we send a second night watchman in after the one we send in at three gets out? Or just resume the normal order?

 

[Moonwatcher]

No wickets lost (Y)

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Well, how's my maths?

Was two overs left. Stumps and we're 0/0. The first time we've gone wicketless in a mini post-stumps batting session (of any length) since the 1988-89 season.

Only 90 overs in Shield cricket now instead of 96?

I think it may have been a time thing.

 

[Moonwatcher]

How did we go from undefeated after three rounds to this?

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

3/77 at lunch. Were 3/36.

Certainly looks healthier with the extra batter in the line up and also Carey. Bowler-friendly wicket but hopefully we can grind out a lead. Big innings for Travis Head.

 

[Aussie_boy]

Not sure how much longer we can keep picking Weatherald and Ferguson. Would either be averaging double figures this season?

Nothing derails a Redbacks' batsman's season better than talk of a test call up

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Weatherald 20.13 He made 69 against Queensland.
Ferguson 10.86

Yes, it's depressing isn't it? Same old crap from Redbacks, year in, year out. Just when you think you may have a future Test batsman, or at least a regular run scorer, they turn to s**t.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Is it just me or has Carey's batting fallen off a cliff?

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Since he started specialising in limited over forms of the game. Take from that what you will.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Wade should really be batting 3 in this side. He gets stranded way too often.

Should certainly be batting ahead of Bailey.
