Sheffield Shield 2025/26

[_snafu_]

Lloyd Pope to ton up.

 

[Fangs]

when some one like Boland is very predictible, its easier to play the ramp shots, even commentators picked up on it

Requires some thinking for the Ashes.

He would be 99% in for Cummins in the first test.

 

[Desert Qlder]

Swepson 6-fer cleaning up nice. Short work now ... hopefully.

 

[Desert Qlder]

There it is, Khawaja looking every bit the old man he is.

from memory the poms belted him last time, bazball style

That is what I had on my mind.

Haze has plenty of change ups. Starc has pace. Our all rounders are just soaking up overs. Green has a bit of bounce.

If we pick Boland in Perth he needs to bring something to the table.

Looking at this match, Understand why Weatherald got man of the match with his 94 (and 18)

 

[Fangs]

QLD chasing a tricky low total here. Would be an embarrassing loss if they can't chase this down.

Yeah nah.

 

[Fangs]

Yeah nah.

They don't call them tricky low totals for nothing mate.

Just worry about the embarrassment of losing to Victoria.

Just worry about the embarrassment of losing to Victoria.

Haha.

No fandom here. Others are into it. I've always enjoyed domestic cricket for what it is. The state rivalry doesn't grab me the same way it does in Rugby League.

I suppose I'd like the Blues to be more successful but ultimately our players will be propping up the national side.

 

[Desert Qlder]

Swepson’s 10WM was awesome on that pitch.

 

[Desert Qlder]

Round 3 starts today. Might struggle to get an over in at Gabba day one unfortunately. Should clear by tomorrow.

 

[Twizzle]

Supposed to rain for 5 days, pretty heavy today

 

[Fangs]

Disappointing that it rained. This was the most important shield match of the 3 on today in terms of Ashes spots.

SA top order has failed. Some starts for VIC. Handscomb making a laboured 48 off 157 deliveries.

Beau Webster has gotten through 12 overs so far against VIC (9 no balls, unusually high). Got the wicket of Marcus Harris.

Tas 1/4
Weatherald out for a 3 ball quack


SA 9/205 v WA
Boofs son 90no, he has been in some rare form of late
Going for his 5th ton in his last 6 shield matches

 

[TheParraboy]

Lehmann out for 96
next best 21

SA all out 215

 

[Fangs]

We got some cricket at the Gabba.

Konstas made 10. Big misjudgement. Clean bowled without playing a shot.

Doubt he sees any cricket at International level for a while.

 

[Fangs]

50 for Salzmann as opener. Has had a
good start to the season.
