NSW v Qld

[DragonPunk]

Copeland finally gets a bowl and gets the final wicket, QLD all out 213.

 

[Twizzle]

SOK did what Hauri couldn't do, ended up with 3 fer

SOK brings his bowling average down below 24. 40 wickets @ 23.55 in 11 matches is pretty impressive for any sort of bowler, but for a left arm orthodox bowler it's just insanely good. Shame he had to go off injured as he was a big show for a Michelle.

Sarfraz decides he'd like to have a rest for a few hours and sends Maddinson and Jaques back out for some quick runs. I'd say he'd be looking for a lead of around 400 with 3.5 sesssions to play before getting back out there.

 

[yappy]

Jaques goes for 16. I know we're chasing some quick runs, but I reckon unfortunately that he needs to be dropped. It's a very very long rut he's fallen into and he needs to go back to grade and tear them apart for a while if he's ever to come back for the Blues. There must be a young guy we can give a shot to. Even Warner coming in and lasting 5 overs would provide more consistent runs than Jaques has managed for quite some time.

 

[yappy]

Henriques on a pair comes out to face Gannon on a hatty. Maddinson bowled and Rohrer LBW.

 

[yappy]

Blues 1/116 at tea. Lead by 361. Uzi 43, Moi Moi 37. Good partnership after the 3/0 mini collapse.

Another hour and a half or so before putting them back in late today I'd say.

 

[yappy]

Uzi plonks Boyce over the fence to bring up his 50.

 

[Patorick]

3/149, lead 394.

 

[yappy]

Sarfraz sets them 414 for victory. Uzi finished 78no and Henriques 53no.

 

[hineyrulz]

Good declaration, gives them a sniff and us plenty of time to bowl them out.

 

[yappy]

Pretty aggressive declaration seeing as Qld have 121 overs minimum to get the runs so it's getable if they can get a couple of batsmen making tons.

 

[yappy]

Qld off to a good start. 0/54 after 17

 

[Twizzle]

they dont have the batsmen and day 4 should suit our spin attack

I agree, but the openers have got to 71 without loss at stumps. 342 in 96 overs is probably beyond them with guys like Clark and Copeland available who can keep a lid on the scoring, but it looks like they are gonna make us work for 10 wickets.

 

[yappy]

Clark gets the early breakthrough bowling Broad for 33. 1/75

 

[yappy]

Dougy gets Robinson - 2/105

 

[Red Bear]

2/128, only NSW can win at this point but taking 8 more wickets is another matter. Copeland on now for only his 5th over

 

[yappy]

2/163 at lunch. Townsend and Lynn have dropped anchor.

 

[yappy]

Nevill has 34 byes against his name so far. He was standing up to Clark in the first dig for a bit so maybe that has something to do with it, but that's a lot of extras. He seemed tidy enough on Sunday.

(edit) Looks like he's been standing up to Copeland too.

 

[yappy]

Clark gets Lynn 3/171
