Australian Domestic Season 2019/20

[stephen]

Time for a triple hundred partnership between Wildermuth and Pierson.

 

[stephen]

I just watched Smith's dismissal. He was not happy at being given out.

 

[aussie tragic]

Nice debut so far by Sutherland with a wkt off his 3rd ball and now has 2-2 off 4 overs

 

[stephen]

Is this one of those MCG wickets that offers two sessions of assistance and then flattens out like crazy? There was a test a couple of years back that did the same. Steketee should not be the second top run scorer.

 

[stephen]

Good to see Doolan and Wade in the runs. Vic need to collapse now for QLD to have any hope of first innings points. WA getting thrashed by NSW.

 

[mr_mister]

First innings points are no longer a thing

 

[Spark]

That kid Fraser-McGurk has a hell of a pull shot.

 

[Burgey]

He should teach Pucovski how to play it.

 

[stephen]

Why the hell did Tasmania declare? Their only realistic chance of winning was to get a first innings lead.

 

[Gnske]

I like McJerk's style, won't lie.

I'm nervous to see how many of these batting debutant's we've had turn into Scott Henrys.

 

[Burgey]

I'd say Daniel Hughes has done enough this Shield round to get the nod as test opener.

 

[stephen]

I'm really perplexed at Tasmania's declaration. There are no bonus points after the first innings so all that declaring does is give SA a shot at winning. There is no advantage at all possible for Tasmania. And Doolan didn't get a shot at the double ton.

Might as well hey if Bancroft and Harris are the front runners.

I don't know if you were joking, but I actually totally agree. Joe Burns isn't going to happen, Usman won't happen, Marsh better not happen. Let Daniel Hughes happen.

 

[Burgey]

SA probably said they'd set them a total. Given NSW is dicking WA, Tassie probably think they can leapfrog into 2nd if they chase it down. If they don't chase it, then bat out a draw and they're still within easy reach of second.

Not how I'd approach it, but they'll have some sort of plan behind it no doubt.

Prefer your call of Solway. Would be epic.

 

[Gnske]

Do it. At this point given Joe Burns has once again failed to produce runs when he needs it, its basically like having monkeys throwing rancid **** at a plaster wall cheering to see which pile of feces sticks to the wall for the longest.

Solway doesn't know the taste of mediocrity yet, he's powerful. Let him taste glory.

Surely they are thinking SACA will declare and give Tassie a 300 run chase off 70 or so. SA really need the win.

 

[stephen]

That would contravene section 16.9.6.1.1 or 2 of the Sheffield shield playing conditions.

Arguably they would be colluding to contrive the result of a match; or
Unreasonably declaring

It's a pretty serious breach.

 

[Burgey]

It's not colluding if one side sets another a target. it's colluding if that side lets them chase it down

 

[aussie tragic]

^ not sure if serious. State sides have declared behind the opposition for over 100 years hoping to get a result from a reciprocated declaration.
