Shield Sheffield Shield Round 8: Tasmania v Western Australia @ Blundstone Arena

[kane249]

Is Paris a potential test option?

60 wkts @ 23.5 & a batting average of 24 is now a decent body of work..

He's averaging around 2.5 wkts an innings with a SR of 47.

Would like to see him put together a solid stint without breaking down first, he's had a lot of injuries

At 27 it's probably now or never.

Not a big sample size, granted, but he's got better FC stats than Neser, Bird and Sayers.

The only player on the periphery with clearly better FC stats is Pattinson.

Hussey debuted at 30.

Hussey debuted at 30.

Did he have a history of injuries?

 

[Pykie]

Did he have a history of injuries?

He was also a batsman.

I feel like with bowlers, we as a nation like settled bowling line ups and like them for an extended period of time.

The likes of Stuart Clark who debuted at 31, Ryan Harris debuted at 29, are exceptions.

So he's getting towards that age.

So what should Tassie's tactics be? Keep wickets in hand as long as possible and then start going when it his 7 an over ish?

Try and keep these two in for as long as possible, up the score rate

If they lose a wicket then just try and bat out the innings, these two will win it

Pray to keep the rain away

 

[Aussie_boy]

Does Jordan Silk ever make runs? Must average about 25 these days.

 

[Perty4]

Surely Paine cant be serious batting himself ahead of Webster 2nd innings?

 

[Bulldog Joe]

How many overs will Tas get to face.

 

[krakouers]

Any TAS guys on here? What is the weather like in Hobart?

Will they see out the last 15 overs

 

[Jimmy#17]

I get the feeling Tassie might be leaving their run a little late now. Still need 60 of 9 overs.

Should get all the overs in. A few light showers around but shouldn’t affect the game.

Thanks Jimmy

Both Batsmen are set, they can chance their arm a bit and still have a few wickets left, also have the additional half hour if they get close I thought

Its Tassies to lose (or draw) at this point

 

[Gak Attack]

Tassie left it too late. Odd chase, I know they lost some earlier but why not make some changes to the order and go earlier.

Shocked Webster came in after Paine

 

[Bulldog Joe]

Shocked Webster came in after Paine

Following the scores it seems that Paine has kept the rate up. McDermott much slower and should have been pushing on.

Webster in now and they should still get the runs. Milenko also capable.

 

[Jimmy#17]

23 of 18 balls needed.

 

[Bulldog Joe]

23 of 18 balls needed.

Cric info is giving 1 more over than you.

Just going off the live commentary.

 

[Jimmy#17]

6 for Webster.

 

[Jimmy#17]

12 of 12 now.

 

[Jimmy#17]

Another 6 for Webster. Only 4 to win now.

 

[krakouers]

Well done Tassie, you deserve the win
