Hartley hadnt missed a shield game in ages. Wasnt it like 100 played in a row?

 

[Jak!x]

Interesting that Burns will captain the side instead of Matador Cup captain Floros

Well Burns was overseas for half of it

First shield game missed since I think it was 2007.

Edit: Yep, 2007.

Will the loser be out the running for the final ?

Depends on other results. If NSW manage to lose, definitely not. If they win; probably.

 

[grimlock]

Worrall for Grant

Gannon Peirson for Hartley Neser

 

[Bigelow]

Worrall worked out well !

 

[Bradesmaen]

Brilliant stumping by Carey. Great ball by Zampa. Dipped, turned and bounced a mile.

Doing ok behind the stumps.

 

[Bradesmaen]

Chadd! Carey with another good catch. Need him to get that batting going though.

 

[Bradesmaen]

Heazlett, that superstar Australian player... another Hohns magical pick.

 

[Bradesmaen]

Zampa with some trash to get Truloff out.

 

[threefa9]

Carey is quality behind the stumps, tidy batsmen too but needs to convert his starts

 

[carnthemlions]

Heazlett, that superstar Australian player... another Hohns magical pick.

 

[Moonwatcher]

QLD not going on with their starts.

 

[Moonwatcher]

10/218 good for SA to keep the bonus points down.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Zampa 6/62

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Zampa 6/62

Pfft, it's no 9/37.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Pfft, it's no 9/37.

Who got 9/37?

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Who got 9/37?

The Behr!

6 for Zampa is top notch.

 

[aussie1st]

Spin depth starting to look alright now!

 

[Moonwatcher]

"good players don't stay out of form for long", well that would imply Ferguson is not a good player because it has been a long time.
