Redbacks Thread - Ins: Insley

[Moonwatcher]

Andrews has outscored 9 of the NSW batsmen's combine tally and we still trail.

 

[Moonwatcher]

50 for Andrews having only given away 49 with his bowling.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Cooper is great at playing the big shots when he doesn't have to do it every ball.

 

[hey shorty]

Crazy fightback

 

[Cap]

Cooper must be the best associate player in the Shield comp surely.

Shame he doesnt play much for the dutch any more.

 

[hey shorty]

Captain this week too.

Can you imagine the hype if Winter was playing for Vic/NSW?

Are they still giving out baggy greens to just about anyone over there?

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Winter is from Canberra. Maybe NSW will try to claim him as theirs? Close enough

Joe Mennie hasn't quite hit his straps with the Duke so far. 6 for 224 across these two games

Not bad but not his usual penetration.

Maddinson was Mark Waugh's captains choice. Put his career a long way backwards ignoring form.

Great to see us doing ok without a strong reliance on Sayers & Mennie.

Interesting that Nielsen said they intended to manage Winter by bringing him in when the Duke balls were in use as will suit him swinging the ball. This was mentioned before he got his wickets.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Ps. Winter 10 for the match.

Looks like we will be chasing around 200 for the win. Are our batsman up to it?

 

[hey shorty]

189 to win.

Not sure we can do it, been a very bowler orientated game really.

The game is ours to lose.

We are the Redbacks...

What's the deal with the Duke ball?
We played with it the last few matches last year of the shield season are we doing the same this year or have we been doing so all Shield season?

Do we have have plans on switching completely in Australia?

We've used it for the back half of the last two seasons and I assume will next season. It's preparation for the Ashes 2019. Guess they'll assess the success or otherwise after that series. Certainly it is making the batters work harder and have to adapt to the moving ball which you'd think would be a good thing.

I think also CA are trying to put some pressure on Kookaburra to produce a better and more affordable cricket ball. Rather than just having a monopoly where it's a given that every competition in Australia uses a Kookaburra. And every club pays through the nose for cricket balls because there is no alternative. They've now created some competition - if Kookaburra want the business then what can they do for us?

Apparently the Duke they are using is a bit different from the one they use in England. They have had to toughen it up with some extra lacquer so that it survives on the harder, more abrasive Australian pitches.

Interesting, if we get the chocolates here, it really opens up the shield table

When was the last time we won there?

That's probably put the mocka on it.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

3/144 with 44 runs to win.

Almost stumps, night watchman in. Why do I feel sick?

 

[hey shorty]

We've seen this all before.....

 

[hey shorty]

What were we worried about ?!?!

Spiders win without losing a wicket today

Lol bang

Canberras Nick Winter

Two games, three five-wicket hauls, and two spots on the Sydney Cricket Ground honour board dedicated to his name.

It's one of the most impressive openings to a Sheffield Shield career in history and it belongs to Canberra product Nick Winter.

 

[Moonwatcher]

We literally have to start planning for life without Winter already.

Will be a challenge for the selectors.

We've taken our battery of tall quicks who are successful in Australia to England for the last four tours and have lost every time.

Will we go with a horses for courses attack in 2019?
