06/02/13-09/02/13: Sheffield Shield: Tasmania v NSW @ Blundstone Arena

[eth-dog]

You havent paid attention to the real green top wickets over recent years at Hobart in shield matches?

The wicket that was provided for the NZ test match is a reguler style before jan for shield games.

I knew that they were fast bowler friendly, I just didn't think that they'd be that fast bowler friendly

this has all the makings of an annoying 100 run stand after they looked so bad in the early stages of said stand

 

[Phone]

jinx works!

 

[eth-dog]

Come on you Blues.

Lord, this feels like supporting Carlton #disgusting

What is the wicket like, usually they are massive green tops in Feb.

Poor batting? Great bowling?

I think Tassie went in one batter short, I would have exchanged Gulbis for a batsman, Blizzard the most likely candidate.

Juicy but not as bad as we've seen at all this year I dont think.

Hard to tell from the feed really, seems to be greenish in strips. More straight strips up the pitch than across the pitch like they were for the Test.
Bowling seems to have been tight, without being anything special, in the little I've seen.

 

[Bomber Bears]

6/138, 3 for Hazlewood, two for Copeland, one for Tremain. Punter 48*

 

[CAS79]

Thank god we pulled this Ponting kid out of Launnie grade cricket.

 

[Kyptastic]

Punter on 99

edit. That's the 100 actually.

Great knock, and well done on Krejza hanging around with him.

 

[Gak Attack]

Thank **** for Ponting.

 

[TassieEagle]

Good knock by that Ponting bloke, hope he goes on to higher honours.

 

[Selective Retention]

Punter struggles to score runs at international level, yet is Bradman still at domestic level.

Meanwhile all the jokers around the fringe of the test squad can't average above 40 at domestic level. Not exactly a great sign.

 

[grimlock]

Copeland bowls Krejza off a no ball! Only the 2nd of the day.

He must of been trying to rip one down at 115kmh.

 

[Phone]

been awhile since a big score by a bowler against us

 

[PTizzle]

Krazy justfying his spot, even if he fails with the ball 8)

Wonder how long Punter will go on for, it still must be very satisfying.

 

[what did you say]

few things i watched all day,

ricky taught the new leggie on the block a thing or two by good foot work the young fella got smacked around...
copland was swinging it all morning then after lunch looked a different bowler for some reason...
cosgrove would be playing for OZ if not for being as big as 10 men led feet...
ricky had to earn it today,abit of luck went his way finally an cashed on big time...

Hey Ricky's more than a handy off break change up you know.

 

[PTizzle]

Krejza homing in on a century, Ponting not too far off a double...

 

[Kyptastic]

They've already broken the Tasmanian record for the seventh wicket. About 100 runs off the shield record.

 

[Kyptastic]

100 up for Krejza - great knock considering the circumstances.

 

[Bomber Bears]

****s sake

 

[eth-dog]

looks like we're heading for a 3-way tie for first. Exciting

 

[PTizzle]

Good stuff Krejza...second first class ton and his high score. Definitely not harming his chances of keeping his spot, you'd think (do Tassie have any other half-decent spinners when X-Do isn't around?).
