Shield Round 2: Queensland vs South Australia, AB Field, Oct 20-23

[Rabish Binney]

SA on top, Qld 3-16.

Lets see if we do the Redbacky thing and let Qld off the hook.....

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Renshaw's most recent 15 Sheffield Shield innings, he's failed to reach double figures 10 times, only one score of 57.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

What has happened with Jake in the past seasons is that he will be picked for 2 - 3 shield games and wont make a run in them.

Then, on the cusp of being dropped, he will make a century in the next game and thus holds his place for the remaining games.

10 FC hundreds in 10 years somewhat confirms this theory.....

He has a touch of the Graeme Wood about him. Woody kept extending his Test career by making a score at precisely the moment he looked like being dropped, and Lehmann is similar. Maybe his century in the 2nd XI game should have served as a warning to the selectors

Mack Harvey couldn't even get into our second XI for the past 2 years

Don't why we went after him then.

Was it you going after him or him deciding to move?

 

[1990crow]

Was it you going after him or him deciding to move?

Don't know but either way we took him.

 

[eth-dog]

Don't know but either way we took him.

Maybe he got an offer from a Grade club and chose to move?

Who moves interstate for grade cricket? Wouldn't pay anywhere near enough to justify that

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

We tend to find the Peirsons and Nesers more difficult to dislodge than the top order.

 

[eth-dog]

Peirson is a very good bat.

Blowing our good start. Classic redbacks.

 

[1990crow]

Manenti is such a nothing selection.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Manenti is such a nothing selection.

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.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

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

 

[Moonwatcher]

Such a typical Redbacks bowling performance

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

 

[Rabish Binney]

We have a history of having sides 4 or 5 down for not much and not closing the innings

Pierson gets runs against us every f**** time.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Hunt for a duck

 

[Rabish Binney]

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

Yep, won’t be surprised if we’re rolled for 120 and QLD winning easily.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

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

 

[1990crow]

I hate this team so much.

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.

We really are muppets for watching/caring.

At least you were smart enough to barrack for a non south Australian AFL team.
