Sheffield Shield 2014/2015 season

I know, I went to school with him.
So I definitely hope he lives up to his potential.
I'll never forget his debut shield game.

154 no from memory ?

Nice ton from Middinson, he looked good from when he strode to the wicket scoring at a run a ball from the start when everyone was crumbling around him

Also nice to see Abbott come good 3 wickets and a 50

Something like that, although he was dismissed.

He also became the youngest ever player to score a century on debut in the Sheffield Shield.

Maddinson back batting where he should be- number 4 and he scores runs...fair dinkum. The bloke isn't a Shield opener.

He usually is but he wasn't today

He is a number 4, he opened all of last year (think Rohrer bats 4 doesn't he). As an opener he was beyond hopeless.

 

[Twizzle]

So are you saying he would not have made those runs today if he opened ?

You do realise he has always been an opener and thats what got him in the Blues team and the Aust A team.

Maddinson is definitely more regularly an opening batsman than a #4.

 

[Twizzle]

Yeh, rather obvious to the regulars that follow first class cricket

Hard to shift our top 3 atm, they have been in some pretty decent form while Maddinson was away.

Reminds me so much of Mark Waugh in so many ways. Can get away with him opening in 1 dayers or t20 but in Shield or test cricket you need to be more compact. He is a perfect number 4 or 5.

compact ?

more information required

he was the same batsman that opened in ODIs most of his career

 

[Twizzle]

no play at the Gabba so far today, rained out

 

[Twatface Magee]

Lol if this game ends up in a draw.

 

[Twatface Magee]

Play to resume in 5 minutes

Maddinson is still very loose outside off, he needs the ball a little older. His dismissal today is exaxtly that, no footwork and a nick. He did that all season last year opening.

how ironic, he didn't open in this innings yet still got out the same way

Blues out for 302

Bulls 3 for 58, Abbott with 2 wickets
