Siddle just loves playing against SA.

Frustration continues with Henry Hunt. Three 1st Innings scores 23, 136 & 62, followed up with 2nd innings scores of 7, 0, 0.

Manenti 5/73 from 30.5 overs, a couple of catches as well.

Last time he did this, it was in 2020-21. 1st Innings scores v SA since than are: 12, 10, 7, 1. To be fair, the first two were followed up in the 2nd innings scores of 148 not out and 132. :)

Manenti's bowling well, but I think it needs to be said some of the wickets have been more from poor batting than the balls themselves. Need to get Harper out, SA has a history of opposition keepers making life difficult for us with the bat.

For which Grade club does Henry Thornton play?

That ball from Warren really shouldn't have dismissed Hunt who was set on 62 ... but it did. Don't ask me why.

Yes, I'm all for batsmen occupying the crease and putting value on their wicket, but 40 balls for only 4 runs is a bit much.

They're biased in every game in every state. That's something I have noticed over the past couple of years.

We'll be 7/120 at Tea at this rate. Carey's in now, that will hopefully inject some life into the game. I always remember Les Favell told his players he'd rather be 7/300 at stumps than 2/290. Our old nemesis Peter Siddle is back in town, he always has success against the Redbacks.

Lehmann would be exhausted after his 2 ball duck.

1/62 from 30 overs at Lunch is not exactly going to raise much interest in Sheffield Shield cricket.

Bancroft is having the season from Hell right now.

Hopefully it will warm on me. :)

When it comes to sheer raw natural ability, the best 2 players I've ever seen in terms of making the game look easy were Phil Carman and Darren Jarman. So therefore, my pick is an easy one, Darren Jarman. Huddo is my all-time favourite, but he was more of a freak, you can't teach players what...

The AFL are more than capable of stupid ideas without our help.

No, he didn't. His final 6 Sheffield Shield games, his scores were 7, 57, 26, 3, 2, 3, 37, 6, 2, 2, 8, 14. He has followed this up with 6, 15, 2, 21. In any language, that hardly translates as "a lot of runs".

Renshaw's needed a score for the past 12 months. You can't seriously consider him. Struggles to get to double figures. His past 13 innings in Shield cricket has totaled 121 runs @ 9.31 with a top score of 37, and 9 scores under 10. Poor Bancroft cannot buy a run at present, so it would be...

That's amazing. I went out with Queensland on 4 wickets down and looking like a draw. Just switched on to see the Redbacks won!!! Amazing. Carey 7 catches in the 2nd innings. WTF happened? :)

He did make 77 and 35 not out v WA in game 1. Have to admit though, the top order is looking a little shaky right now.

4/18 :oops: Bancroft 10 runs in 4 innings.

Yep, I have no idea where our batting will come from.

Being awfully generous to my Redbacks there :)

Smith, 3 and 0. Just as well he was "managed" in the previous game, eh? :rolleyes:

His average for the past 7 seasons is exactly that ... average. 2017-18 28.21 2018-19 31.78 2019-20 10.50 in 4 games 2020-21 65.00 in 4 games 2021-22 37.50 in 4 games 2022-23 31.24 2023-24 21.40 Those 3 seasons from 2019-20 to 2021-22 he was continually being dropped for poor...

They make you feel like Waldorf and Statler, the old guys in the box on the Muppets. You know what you are going to see will be garbage, but you turn up anyway, and the only way you can deal with it is sarcasm.

And there it is ... a wicket first ball. Why didn't they send Lehmann in as the night watchman?

Now watch our top order fall apart. Wash, rinse, repeat.

This is becoming really embarrassing now, Numbers 10 & 11 just helping themselves to easy runs. What a popgun attack the Redbacks have.

The problem is he did well last year as a mid-late order batsman, but his primary role is with the ball, and he is ineffectual in this area.
