Sheffield Shield 2024/25

Will a Victorian be our next prodigy?

Campbell Kellaway is a nice cricketers name tbh.

Usman Khawaja at the centre of explosive cricket storm

‘We are disappointed.’

Usman seems to be in a lot of off field dramas these days.

Skipping a shield game for the F1 was always going to bite someone on the arse.

Usman has made his bed he crossed the Border & is even a passionate QLD supporter in Origin these days.

Left the Sydney Thunder for the Brisbane Heat.

I dont think NSW should welcome him back tbh either

If Khawaja isn't picked for the final where does it leave both parties moving forward.

History shows Uzzie doesn't back down from anything he has his morals, beliefs and he aint shifting.

I saw the South Australians mention the word drought the other day as they haven't won the Shield since 1996.

Pfft do they actually know what a true drought actually is.

Try 39 years now that's a full on drought with it also up in smoke & constantly burning for at least 11 years now.

I reckon we can hit 50 years..

 

[TheParraboy]

Why is Khawaja getting the heat in the media not playing Shield and others not?

Head, Smith, Lyon, all didnt play in the last round, theres a couple of others..

What am I missing? There is a huge break until our next international commitment (Mid june WTC Final)

The 3 fast bowlers been out injured or personal reasons from before champions trophy

Do I hear a 60 ?

 

[Bazal]

Lol the drama over Uzi is laughable

Did any other core Test players play?

 

[Fangs]

Nathan Lyon was at the F1 I'm pretty sure. I saw baldy with Khawaja outside the pits.

But he didn't have a game to play.

It's that bloke from QLD cricket who has the quote labelling it as 'disappointing'. Might just be a rogue opinion.

f**k the media and their clickbait, how dare they pick on Oozie

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Come back to NSW .

 

[Fangs]

Getting ugly now eh?

I think there is more to this story. Won't be surprised if the story grows legs.

 

[TheParraboy]

Come back to NSW .

Dragons?

He is 39yo in December

 

[Twizzle]

and still making runs

 

[Fangs]

Stuff the IPL.

QLD get the first victory. They are batting first.

0/14 from 8 overs. Usman wants to do SA slowly...1* off 24 deliveries.

McScweeney and Mannenti have both grassed chances in the slips. The former was poor and should have been taken. Usman shouldn't be out there right now.

Also decent crowd too.

 

[Fangs]

Absolute disaster. QLD lose 3 wickets in 2 overs. Latest was a terrible run out.

Khawaja 1, Labs and Clayton 0.

Decision to bowl by SA looks a winner.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

4/18 and Agent Doggett has got the Queenslanders in all sorts of deep Doo Doo.

green top ?

 

[AlwaysGreen]

4 for 3 in 15 balls by the Queensland Eels

 

[Fangs]

green top ?

Doesn't look it but its moving off the surface a bit. The dropped catches should have been taken.

Khawaja out hooking. Labs out on a leg glance. You could say unlucky but the run out was just nerves.
