Sheffield Shield 2020/21

[hineyrulz]

Very much liking the new 4th innings toughness Head has shown lately.

If only second innings runs counted for anything, right @hineyrulz ?

Ha!! yeah they mean nothing at all.

They mentioned they are back (i am assuming on Fox) next Sunday

SA v WA

First time regular season Sheffield Shield matches have been televised since the 2001/02 season (before C7 sport became defunct).

never in doubt, interestingly Swepson MOM

he got his 10 wickets but bowls too flat for mine to make it to the next level

mind you watching Lyon bowl for I kept asking myself how is this guy our best spin bowler, he was not really troubling the batsmen a great deal, 2 wickets compared to Swepson's 10

100% agree with you, the trajectory is too flat to trouble top-class batsmen in test matches.

Unfortunately, that's the negative effect T20 cricket has had on promising, upcoming spin bowlers in longer forms of cricket over the past decade. This whole emphasis on the defensive mindset of trying to contain a batsmen rather taking their wicket is seen more and more these days.

IMO, Lyon is over-rated and has only caused major problems to batsmen on pitches that have had a lot of wear and tear, or offered something for spinners. He's mainly kept his position in the test team for the most part due to lack of competition/depth in Sheffield Shield over the past decade (not just Lyon, but several other underperforming players in the national side got an extended run by the selectors for the same reason).

Pucovski must be in the conversation to open for Australia now.

I’m sure he’ll be in the extended squad at the very least.

IMO Would be ludicrous to pick him as opener for the first test in Adelaide under lights and against India at that. I wouldn't have him in the squad either. Not just yet

The kid has come back from mental health problems last season. Let him breath a bit and dominate and enjoy Shield this summer,

If we have failures first two tests, possibly an option to draft him in for MCG and SCG test squads? even then do we want to expose him to too much pressure after what he went through last season

I'd pick him. Who else could you pick? Burns can't buy a run and he's ordinary anyway
