Shield Tasmania v South Australia, Bellerive, Nov. 10-13.

[BGman]

TAS	Tim Ward, Caleb Jewell, Charlie Wakim, Ben McDermott, Jake Doran (wk), Jordan Silk, Beau Webster (c), Jarrod Freeman, Lawrence Neil-Smith, Peter Siddle, Gabe Bell
SA	Jake Weatherald, Henry Hunt, Jake Carder, Travis Head (c), Alex Carey (wk), Harry Nielsen, Liam Scott, Nathan McAndrew, Nick Winter, Daniel Worrall, David Grant

Henry Hunt is eyeing off back to back centuries. How close is he to a Test debut. Is coming off a FC @ 44 season too.

Heck he may be left stranded before he tons up. SA 8-168.. Hunt 88*

 

[2notepockets]

Hunt has been excellent, decent contribution from Scott on return, the rest pretty deplorable including Head batting himself out of the first test...

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Hope Hunt doesn't get stranded here.

He didn't, brings up his ton.

 

[Crashy]

Great ton by Hunt

shining light in this redbacks side atm

Back to back tons. How good is that. Ok CA we have been crying out for a techically proficient quality opener. Here is one. In fact we have three.. Street and Ward too. I see all in a future Australian batting lineup.

 

[Crashy]

Concrete boots Worrall

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

I've been saying that I can see higher honours for Hunt, possibly not right now, but in the near future. He looks the goods to me. Good to see Scott make some, he's coming off back-to-back tons at grade level.

Typical Redbacks innings, two players get a score, the rest stuff all. Been going on for far too long.

Siddle loves playing the Redbacks, always takes wickets.

 

[Aussie_boy]

Great knock Hunt, seems to get better by the season which is a good sign.

Watch Wakim ton up here, SA keep him employed, only team he seems to score against.

 

[eth-dog]

Hunt is gonna play test cricket within 2 years

Maybe KOK got Hunt and Carder mixed up...

 

[Hamingja]

That scorecard.......

NSW hurting now players like Hunt and Ward move on

Tell me about it. Our selectors have been so incompetent in identifying good red ball players because they are blinkered by national underage white ball performances. Hunt, Ward, Neil-Smith, Ellis, Wright, the list goes on and on...

 

[cowboy18]

Is Neil-Smith going for a "specialist night watchman who bowls pretty well too" role? Think this is his 4th shot at it this season and from memory, they were all pretty good. (Apologies in advance for getting him out by saying this).

This is a disgusting run rate. The constant negative batting this season is pissing me off.

Agreed. Especially when you've already lost time with rain. SA scored around 3 an over, Tassie are just over 2.

I guess because very few people attend Sheffield Shield matches these days, maybe players don't feel they need to entertain. I grew up watching SA in the Favell/Chappell era. I recall Favell saying once that he told players if they bat the entire first day, he'd rather be 7/300 than 2/290.

 

[Crashy]

Jeebus McDermott copped a stinker of a decision

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

8/205 and Weatherald drops an absolute sitter at 2nd slip from Siddle off Worrall

Yet another Redback who at times shows glimpses of ability, but his good performances are few and far between. He was probably having a snooze.

Since he had that time away for mental health reasons he just doesn't seem the same cricketer

Yeah something has gone wrong in his development for sure. I know pre his mental health break he was training an obscene amount. Reading between the lines perhaps, even subconsciously he feels like maybe if that regime didn’t take him to the next level then he might have gone as far as he will in cricket. Not sure I’m only speculating.

 

[sherb]

Tassie head into stumps last night 1-101
Stumps score: 3-102
The two wickets: The two established batsmen

Tassie head into lunch today 4-181
Lunch score: 6-181
The two wickets: The two established batsmen

Hopeless.

I've always liked it when he's gone after the bowling, easy to say but I think he should be a little more aggressive.

A couple of years ago I thought he would be Warner's heir apparent without being a complete *******. Seems like a long time ago now

Wasn’t he batting for 8-hours a day on the bowling machine last pre season?
