NSW XIII

• 20. Peter NEVILL (c)(+)
• 9. Trent COPELAND
• 5. Harry CONWAY
• 18. Jack EDWARDS
• Ryan GIBSON
• 99. Matthew GILKES
• 7. Liam HATCHER
• 3. Daniel HUGHES
• 36. Nick LARKIN
• 67. Nathan LYON
• 72. Stephen O'KEEFE
• 23. Jason SANGHA
• 38. Daniel SOLWAY

In: Edwards, Gibson, Gilkes, Sangha
Out: Moises HENRIQUES (Aust A), Kurtis PATTERSON (Aust A)

Henriques and Patterson being unavailable opens up chances for last year's mainstays Edwards and Sangha who have yet to play a Shield game this season. Gibson is also another batting option, having last played a Shield match in November 2017. Edwards made 192 and Sangha 72 for the CA XI against the England Lions. With both Edwards and Sangha able to bowl, this might result in NSW reverting back to a 4 specialist bowler line up.

SA XII

• 34. Travis HEAD (c)
• 13. Wes AGAR
• 9. Will BOSISTO
• 26. Tom COOPER
• 12. Callum FERGUSON
• 22. Henry HUNT
• 15. Joe MENNIE
• 4. Harry NIELSEN (+)
• 24. Lloyd POPE
• 27. Chadd SAYERS
• 28. Jake WEATHERALD
• 44. Nick WINTER

In: Mennie, Pope
Out: Daniel WORRALL (managed)

With a spin friendly wicket at Bankstown, Pope is likely to play in his first Shield match since November 2018.

Isn't Conway in the Australia A squad too?

I guess they're expecting him not to play. Since the AusA match starts on Saturday we will know if he'll be available.

Yeah, and they can probably get some Victorian contracted player to be 12th for days 3 and 4

 

[Aussie_boy]

SOK and Lyon will destroy us, batting first is an absolute must.

 

[Crashy]

Resting Worrall after one game

Pope will get carted, he is no good

Nsw outright

 

[Aussie_boy]

Lost the toss and the game.

[eth-dog]

Mennie? 10 wickets at over 40...

 

[eth-dog]

Daniel Hughes reminds me of Bob Quiney a bit. Late bloomer that carves out a solid FC career.

 

[Aussie_boy]

No SOK is a win.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Would be evenly balanced, had we not known SA will collapse tomorrow.

Even though we're on a two game hot streak there is no chance we won't be 6/80 tomorrow

Good start to the morning. Redbacks haven't won 3 in a row for 7 years, so history against them.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

8/341 now.

And we haven't even started the dreaded 10th wicket stand yet

 

[Moonwatcher]

Advantage NSW

 

[Moonwatcher]

Conway playing like Soo-chin tendolkur.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Wicket looking a bit featherbeddy

Maybe that's just our tiring bowlers

 

[Moonwatcher]

Bought the mighty Conway for just 31 runs.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Thank goodness for that

Feels like every time we take a risk and go with a leg spinner that we lose the toss and have to bowl first

This is stretching right back to the Cullen Bailey years

The problem for Cullen Bailey was he kept being made 12th man, and when he went back to grade cricket, his club were usually batting. I think at one stage he went nearly 2 months without bowling a ball in a match, not good for a developing leggie.

Optimistic

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Death, taxes, and Weatherald only doing about 3 things a year and thinking that's enough

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Hunt 1 off 26 balls
