Sheffield Shield Round 6: Western Australia v New South Wales @ WACA

[Woody15]

Yeh Copeland at 7 was why I asked. Very light batting line up.

Didnt realise Maddinson was going that bad.

 

[Aussie_boy]

I'm not exactly sure why they dropped him now. Granted he had a bad start to the season but why wait til after the BBL where he batted fairly well and perhaps could've gone in with a bit more confidence.

 

[grimlock]

And if they were going to drop him, surely let him bat in the Futures League

 

[new breed]

Sounds like a good day of cricket , twelve wickets on the first day sets the game up for a result !!

Sandhu batting ahead of Lyon when he's a genuine bunny is what baffled me the most.

Lolwut? No he isnt. He averages 18 at first-class level with hs of 97*. Also has a first grade hundred this season. He can hold a stick.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Yep Sandhu can definitely bat a bit. He's just frustratingly laconic.

 

[Hellgood]

Seemingly a good effort with the ball with all contributing nicely, but then a dodgy finish with the bat to lose Bosisto and the nightwatchman Kelly straight up. Pretty evenly poised after day one I reckon.

Wait, really? Whenever I see him bat he just goes to water honestly.

You must be thinking of Abbott.

He’s a better bat than Mark Waugh’s lovechild so called All rounder at least. Both aren’t great though. We should have played Maddinson as annoying as the bloke is- at least we wouldn’t have Copeland batting at 7.

Who’s this you’re talking about?

Sean Abbott

Let’s just call a spade a spade...how he played international cricket for Australia is mystery.

 

[Beutbrute]

The game is in the balance this morning. Looking forward to a good days cricket.
I'm liking the movement that the Duke generates.

 

[eth-dog]

Nope, though I agree that he's an overrated bat.

 

[DaRick]

Noticed that they're switching to Duke balls for the back end of the shield season as well. Hopefully they move around a bit.

Actually a forward-thinking idea - getting our batsman used to the Duke ball (which obviously they're not ATM).

Would be interesting if they experimented with the SG ball on spin-friendly decks as well.

 

[Woody15]

Im fairly sure they did it last year as well. Definitely a good idea.

I know he hasn't been in great form recently, but is Abbott really behind Sandhu, Conway, Edwards and Stobo now?

Quick answer- yes.

Hasn’t got wickets and his batting has been awful

Cartwright up to 56*

Good to see him get a few. Too talented to not be in the test side soon enough

 

[Scotland]

Another start for Bancroft with 38 from 83. Would love for him to go on and make a score. Hasn't passed 50 for 10 FC innings in a row.

SMarsh and Cartwright out

[wolmeister]

A couple of very dodgy calls there by umpire; Sean Marsh and Ashton Turners were both poor umpiring decisions.

Game on for first innings points
