Sheffield Shield: NSW v Victoria at Newcastle 18-22 Dec

[IanG]

For discussion on the NSW v Victoria Sheffield Shield game at No 1 Sportsground Newcastle. Brad Hodge's last first class game. I'll be going on Sunday.

 

[Collingwood Storm]

Wasn't Newcastle the ground where Victoria chased over 400 on the last day to win with David Hussey scoring a double ton by smashing Macgill?

Ian do you know what the ticket prices are like?

Ian do you know what the ticket prices are like?

As soon as I find out I'll post the info. ATM I can't find any info.

 

[NK Arsenal]

Cheers bud.

If prices are reasonable than I will probably go on both Saturday and Sunday

 

[Dutchy]

I gotta play both Sat and Sun. f**k

 

[IanG]

Ian do you know what the ticket prices are like?

Adults: $15
Concession/Kids 15 and Under: $5
All tickets on Day 4: $5

Also there was a Free Kids Entry coupon in today's Newcastle Herald.

 

[Collingwood Storm]

Hodge has played his last FC game. He is out with a knee injury.

As if Victoria's fast bowling stocks couldn't get worse... both Pattinsons are out, one injured and the younger one rested after recent heavy bowling load. Without Siddle, McKay, Nannes, Harwood, Wright, D.Pattinson and J.Pattinson the Vics are down to Hastings, Gilmour and Sheridan as the quicks.

Victoria: Cameron White (capt), Steven Gilmour, John Hastings, Jon Holland, David Hussey, Nick Jewell, Lloyd Mash, Andrew McDonald, Bryce McGain, Chris Rogers, Will Sheridan, Matthew Wade (12th man to be named)

Geez they are making it tough for Hastings.

 

[eddiesmith]

Should have seen if Tanvir could come over early, they are only in NZ

Looks like it could be another run feast with both sides very weak in the bowling department

 

[aussies1st]

Get Lambert out and our attack looks better. I hope Bird is better for the run as he wasn't too threatening.

 

[eddiesmith]

The chucker back playing is he?

 

[Timbo]

Would like to see Thornley back in the Blues lineupp.

 

[Collingwood Storm]

So would the Vics.

 

[Twizzle]

Lambert is only there due to the amount of injuries we have

add Bracken, Lee and Clark to that team and all of a sudden its a different attack

Murali is injured ATM :sarcasm:

 

[eddiesmith]

Unfortunately for Victorias batsmen Steve Smith is out injured whilst the start has been delayed and an early lunch to be taken due to rain

 

[Collingwood Storm]

Could you imagine the damage D.Hussey would have inflicted on him? I think he's out with a heart muscle.

about the same damage Smith would inflict on Dussey's pies

Day 1 completly washed out.
Thing is it wasn't overly heavy it was mostly drizzle but still enough to prevent play.
