Sheffield Shield 2018/19

[Bazal]

NSW win by 163 in the end.

QLD never in the hunt, really. Their tail outperformed the top order....a familiar story.

Shaun Marsh unbeaten on 152

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Lylod Plod done nothing since he got gifted 7 wickets

 

[Iafeta]

Bailey and his wonky stance are averaging 5.62 this year. Maybe just bat normal son and it might be ok?

Took 1 innings for everyone in the country to figure out how to pick his wrongun

JLs "little brother" out for 2 this morning.

Heading to Optus Stadium today to watch WA vs NSW,

Go the Blues!

 

[jargan83]

WA won the toss and elected to bowl.

NSW 0/8 early on.

Any of the test players lining up Jargs???

 

[Bazal]

Meanwhile Fatty Finch dismissed after looking good for exactly 50 in tough-ish conditions.

Handscomb still there on 70, actually playing front foot shots which is a good sign.

 

[Bazal]

Any of the test players lining up Jargs???

Only Lyon.

Hughes gone already.

Up shit creek then by the looks.

I dunno, WA has both Darsh brothers so it's only fair we also pick a second string side...

Fair point.

I'm not there yet, finishing work in about 30 mins to head across.

A quick glance online says Nathan Lyon for NSW while Darsh and Levers are playing for WA.

Edit: Should have checked rest of the thread!

Blues1/25 Hughes out for 1 run from 28 balls

 

[Bazal]

Handscomb out for 81. Was looking good for a hundred but I think losing Finch and then Maxwell for a duck, and having Seb Gotch 7 off 40 balls or something at the other end made him feel like he needed to score.

Still, takes him to about 380 for the season at about 55. Given he's playing off the front foot again and looks to have confidence back, he might just see himself recalled to the middle order at some stage this summer.

 

[Bazal]

Back to mediocrity for Larkin (39) and inconsistency for Henriques (Quack).

 

[jargan83]

Inconsistently is Moises Henriques middle name.

 

[jargan83]

Pitch looks very green from where I’m sitting.

I’m sure it will be much more barren for the Test vs India.
