Australian Domestic Season 2020/21

He's 200 cm's and it's hit him on the top of the back thighpad, good innings but a horrible way for it to end, shocking decision.

Out on 197, not a happy camper, looked like he may have smashed that.

Even height looked an issue, hit him on the back thigh pad for a guy that is 6"7.

Yeah he needs to wear smaller pads.

Not to mention the inside edge.

Was there an edge? Was unsure on that but it was definitely going over.

The 438 balls faced by Cameron Green is the most in a #SheffieldShield innings since Cameron Bancroft faced 567 for his 211 v NSW in 2015

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Phenomemal innings, Green just gets better and better every time I see him

Kelly going the long handle was fun too tbh

 

[Spikey]

He was stone cold plumb and Dermo Abbott is the real star of the show here

 

[Burgey]

Dermo Sabba Abbott - top numbers in a batsman's game so far. Went for 11 in his first over, too.

Doesn't matter how good your temperament is, you can't beat the umpire

 

[Burgey]

How good to see Test vice-captain Travis Head among the runs? Bodes well for a break out summer a the top level. And added bonus of shitting TJB to tears. Win all round.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Would actually love to see Travis Head play the whole Test summer just to laugh at his pure ineptitude against any half-decent bowling

Watson was a fantastic young bowling prospect until his spine stopped working. Bowled wheels too.

Was still a ****ing gun 5th bowler even post-injury as well, Green gets to that level and we'd be laughing.

 

[Kraken]

K.Pat with a fantastic chance to get a ton (or at the very least red-ink) and help NSW and his Australian dreams out

These pitches are annoyingly dead. Though it does play into my theory of "flatter decks are much better at sorting the wheat from the chaff regarding prospects than spicier pitches" so might be not a horrible thing in the long-run.

Feels like there's a lot more hundreds being scored so far than the equivalent first few Shield rounds of recent years. Hopefully a sign of things to come.

It's definitely a good sign, at least in moderation. A better representation of Test-standard pitches, separates the wheat from the chaff bowling-wise, encourages batsmen to learn to bat long periods.

From what I saw Green looked about high 130s last time I saw him, so certainly sharp but 145 may be overcooking things a bit. But more than pace what really stood out to me is his ability to swing the ball away while still hitting the deck and getting extra bounce, just looks like the sort of bowling that can get class batsman out, always thought it would be his main skill longterm up until quite recently

I don't want to over-egg this comparison but this could best be summarised as "he bowls a lot like Ben Stokes".

He's gonna carve up. Be coming in at 3/380 and going a run a ball from ball one. This is a great ton. Sets him up for the whole summer. Gonna be so good when they lift restrictions in Victoria and TJB gets to go down ad watch Trav ton up, just to complete a horror year for him.

Particularly with the ball. Dermo Abbott in the frame this summer. Ahead of all bar the current top four. And apparently can bat.

I've actually had a pretty decent year personally, all things considered. Lockdown wouldn't have affected me much at all if they hadn't closed the ****ing gyms.

Watching Travis miss Bumrah straight balls all summer will bump it up to an above average year

How good a bowler was Watson when he was younger? Was always under the impression he was always more of a 5th bowler.
