Sheffield Shield 2011/12 Thread

[Timbo]

He has the best record in the team apart from maybe Watto who was clearly under orders to keep the workload down. He was probably our best bowler and kept it pretty tight. Earlier in the season he was underbowling himself. With the lack of options we're currently fielding I'd rather he overbowl himself than underbowl himself.

What we need is some of our quicks back. Starc looks like he'll play the next game which is a big boost.

Then we need to batsmen to harden the f**k up.

But it's a complete waste of the shine on the ball. He's a finger spinner, what's he going to get from it?

Who out of Copes, Lalor and Van der Crapten is going to use the f**king shine anyway. Poor old Copes can't buy a wicket. Lalor's solid, but Timm is out of his depth. If we had Starc, Dougie, Cummins and Haze available you'd have a point. None of them were so you don't.

 

[Twizzle]

Lalor swings the new ball OK but seems limited when its old and he bowls at round 130-135K.

Copeland too slow for mine.

We got a million bowlers and 90% are either injured or playing for Australia.

No excuse for our batsmen tho.

 

[aussies1st]

He is alright with the older ball, has picked up a few wickets with it and I'd say he has more wickets with the older one than the new ball.

We lost Coyte before the match which didn't help, he was the only one that looked dangerous in our last game.

 

[Collingwood Storm]

QLD currently 2pts off top spot, those 3pts they missed out on when they should have had a tie against VIC could be costly.

When this can be written as a lament you know how far we have fallen.

 

[African Monkey]

It's that Anthony Stuart merkin isn't it? I always hated that chump, and I hate him even more right now.

Surely you guys could employ someone better than him. He coached Wellington last season and was a f**ken joke where all he would do is bring nuffies from your sydney club comp. No suprise they were complete shithouse.

 

[Timbo]

I'm wondering why Sam Robson hasn't been considered. Was dominant in County Cricket for Middlesex last year and is towards the top of Sydney Grade Cricket runs.

 

[Red Bear]

Range of shield games starting yesterday and today. Rain effecting everything. SA 0/34 on the second day against Tassie (not sure if there was play at all yesterday), NSW 1/30 against Qld with Khawaja 4* and Hughes 11*, Maddinson the man out. WA vs Vics starts later this arvo

 

[Collingwood Storm]

Hopefully SA, NSW and VIC get the points this week.

 

[beads6]

Good to see Hughes back in the runs. He is 61 not out at lunch.

 

[Big Pete]

Out for 73.

Not too shabby, NSW 4/195 with Smith (32*) & Haddin (6*) occupying the crease.

Harris with 3 wickets already.

 

[Horrie Is God]

If any one happened to watch Hughes' innings can they let me know if he played a pull shot..

Cheers..

 

[aussies1st]

Siddle misses his hattrick after Carters dropped a sitter and Darsh out to Maxwell.

 

[aussies1st]

over 71.2: Magoffin to haddin, no run, out, pitched in a fraction short by magoffin wide of off stump, haddin takes a wild swing at the ball but can only manage a fine outside edge through to hartley the keeper

smh

 

[Earl]

Michael Klinger 219*

Crying shame he is on the wrong side of 30. I love the way he plays.

 

[Collingwood Storm]

Vic's need the outright win today to keep season alive.

Have a lead of over 300, should bat for 30 mins today then go for the win.

 

[Collingwood Storm]

VIC add 29 in 3 overs and declared.

WA need 367 to win from about 90 overs.

With QLD looking unlikely to get any points today, if WA win they will lock up top spot and host the shield final.

 

[Collingwood Storm]

Will Sheridan on fire, 5/10.

WA were 0/63 now 5/81

Voges made a pair.
