Sheffield Shield: VIC vs NSW

[Collingwood Storm]

Make that 2 dropped catches now... the first by Forrest at 1st slip and the 2nd by the keeper Nevill.

 

[Collingwood Storm]

VIC 447 all out

Lead by 220 on 1st innings

NSW 0/5 2nd innings

 

[Collingwood Storm]

Harwood and Nannes definitely not bowling in the 2nd innings

NSW 1/81
Mail out for 49

If Jaques can't make a century against a bowling attack of McKay, Wright, Hodge, Hastings and Jewell on a belter of a pitch then something is wrong.

 

[hineyrulz]

Blues in deep poo, 3 for 114.

 

[eddiesmith]

5/128 now
Captain duck and Khawaja (1) falling in successive overs to McKay who now has 3

 

[eddiesmith]

9/200
McKay and Hastings 4 each

NSW need 20 runs to make Victoria bat again, probably take an extra half hour to try and get the last wicket

 

[Collingwood Storm]

NSW 218 all out

Lose by an innings and 2 runs

NSW lost 9 for 104 after tea in what has to be one of the most inept performances by any NSW team ever.

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

it's also one of the weakest NSW sides

 

[eddiesmith]

One of the weakest Victoria has fielded in a few years as well

Although NSW still had more Test caps :lol:

 

[Red Bear]

Piss-poor performance but sh*t happens. Well played vics.

These things happen when missing
Hughes
Katich
Clarke
Haddin
Bracken
Lee
Clark
Cameron
Bollinger
(missing Hauritz doesnt count, he's a muppet).

Two guys with test caps eddie, one of them is casson, one coming back from a long term back injury, hardly intimidating compared. To be fair both sides pretty weak.

lol, victoria were nowhere near as weak as what NSW were ... and victoria were without cameron sh*te which immediately strengthens their team

FFS that must have been a third string bowling attack best NSW had

I know both were weak, but some would have you believe only NSW is ever weakened :lol:

Found it interesting that Bird hadnt played a first class game in 3-4 years, he has been fairly regular member of the one day side hasnt he?

Victoria only had 2 bowlers in their lineup by tea on day 1! Hastings was picked for his batting :lol:

 

[Collingwood Storm]

One of the Vic selectors was on radio yesterday saying the teams in this shield game were missing 18 players (12 NSW, 6 VIC).

NSW: Hughes, Katich, Warner, Clarke, Haddin, Clark, Lee, Henriques, Bracken, Hauritz, Bollinger and Cameron. (It's doubtful Warner, Henriques and Cameron would be in their best XI for shield matches)

VIC: Hussey, White, Siddle, McGain, McDonald and Quiney. (Harwood and Nannes if you include players injured on the 1st day)

 

[hineyrulz]

poor effort from the Blues, but when Mail is one of your better players it speaks volumes.

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

irrespetive if they would make the best 11, they still would make the side for depth alone

Victoria only had 2 bowlers in their lineup by tea on day 1! Hastings was picked for his batting :lol:

and yet they were still more experienced than our bowlers

lol and look, your own Victorian friend shows us we had twice as many players out as you

 

[eddiesmith]

Yet as said, a few of them wouldnt play anyway and if counting Nannes and Harwood who had little impact as bowlers due to injury and didnt bowl after halfway through day 1, we were missing 8, NSW 8-9 :roll:

Or are you going to claim that all 12 NSW players missing would have played and Thornely and Jaques are not in the sides best XI :lol:

But if we are counting depth players then we could find a few more that would have been handy but are injured

 

[IanG]

yeah they were 1/100 at one point so yeah it was a real collaps

 

[Red Bear]

I know both were weak, but some would have you believe only NSW is ever weakened :lol:

Well he's not all that good and he throws the ball (or certainly looks like it, in fact been reprimanded for it) so i'd say fair enough.

 

[Bazal]

NSW: Hughes, Katich, Warner, Clarke, Haddin, Clark, Lee, Henriques, Bracken, Hauritz, Bollinger and Cameron. (It's doubtful Warner, Henriques and Cameron would be in their best XI for shield matches)

Bar Henriques, probably not, but with those missing for national duties Henriques and Cameron would definitely have been there...possibly Warner too given the lack of decent batsmen. It all adds up.

Anyways, Thornley is a useless captain IMO
