Sheffield Shield SA V NSW Adelaide Oval Feb 19th-22nd

[Thunderstruck]

Game about to commence in for SA is Brown, Carey, Cooper and Tietjens (12th man) with Lyon, Ferguson and Hughes out on national duties.

Fair to say SA will be up against it with that batting lineup, it looks thin and in-experienced. Carey has had a good grade season and is a talent but need some solid scores to help out our bowlers. Jake Brown has had many good years in grade without much of a shot at the next level so he's gotta have a crack. Good allrounder. Sayers and Mennie will do a bulk of the bowling I'd imagine.

Alex Carey makes his Shield debut, days after his Ryobi Cup debut also against NSW. There is a recall for all-rounder Jake Brown, played his last FC match for SA all the way back in 2008. He gets a chance due to the continual omission of Dan Christian who is on the outer with the SA hierarchy after being reprimanded for dressing room damage.

Rohrer and Sandhu were named in the original squad, I guess Rohrer did not fly to Adelaide but not sure about Sandhu. Cruickshank in for Rohrer and Doran as 12th man for Sandhu.

big match in the context of the season. Winner theoretically could go to second. Both these batting line-ups are depleted, but I like NSW attack more- Bollinger, Copeland, Tremain are all very good bowlers

Rohrer and Sandhu were named in the original squad, I guess Rohrer did not fly to Adelaide but not sure about Sandhu. Cruickshank in for Rohrer and Doran as 12th man for Sandhu.

i guess it's possible thesquad nsw named once again was a waste of time...

 

[grimlock]

The @CricketNSWBlues Twitter account said Rohrer with Aus A and Sandhu not selected.

Henry out. Cruickshank in now.

 

[Thunderstruck]

Sayers once again ripping them apart, on fire early.

 

[grimlock]

Our batting sucks.

how did tassie let this top order score runs against them

how did tassie let this top order score runs against them

They had 1 competent FC bowler?

 

[Phone]

we had barely as many as competent batsmen. even maddinson scored runs

 

[Thunderstruck]

And another one!!! This is the Sayers I remember from grade cricket giving batsmen nightmares.

 

[eth-dog]

This is terrible from NSW. 1 bloke into double figures

 

[threefa9]

sayers looking like steyn here. bit slower

 

[Phone]

haddin thinks Brown sucks. brown will get him out

 

[Thunderstruck]

Brown is more of a batsmen than a bowler but has certainly taken some handy wickets over his time in grade cricket. Sayers making good use of the conditions, moving the ball both ways, always at the batsmen making them look pretty uncomfortable.

 

[what did you say]

hadding is a spud,time to step aside from keeping an state cricket.team neds him an he goes the hacn 5 times in a row only to get bowled out ... great dig not when the team needed it

 

[eth-dog]

What was Haddin thinking? They'd just lost the other set batsman and he goes out and tries that shot? It's just pure idiocy. NSW will be hoping thse 2 bat for a while because the rest of their bats are terrible

He's our best batsman at the moment.

Another Copeland century here would be handy.

7/119 when O'Keefe leaves a ball that hits off

 

[1990crow]

7/119

Come on SA, drive home this advantage! Get them all out for 150 and then put on 300. Do that and the game will be set up for a full points victory and a possible shield final.

 

[what did you say]

another wicket, agree haddin is in good form an needed to stay in copland can bat an yet goes the big hack across the line such a poor poor shot,why do it

 

[eth-dog]

8/125 now, Mennie has 3. Zampa out LBW for 3

 

[1990crow]

8 down now, Mennie gets Zampa LBW

 

[grimlock]

It's a good thing we won't make the final, would haven a joke with this batting lineup.

haddin smashing across the line and getting bowled is easier to stomach than batsmen leaving and getting bowled (like henry and o'keefe), or even playing across the line while the ball is swinging but only trying to work it (maddinson) tbf. and haddin mashing across the line and getting bowled isn't very easy to stomach.

turns out we probably should have played sandhu. but then it was suggested that NSW have promised to play Zampa for the rest of the season the other week (cause you know, he actually has a hope of playing for australia, unlike a certain other spinner nsw are fielding)
