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

[Aussie_boy]

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

He's contracted with SA. Silk like in the field but seen nothing to suggest he'll make it as a batsman.

Yeah, his technique is horrid. Was outside our top 15 bats

 

[Jinglebells32]

How on earth does he continue to be picked?! Are there seriously no batsmen in this state?

would be the 173 he made in the second XI last week

Didn't know he did that tbh but how many chances can I guy get and prove he isn't at the level before you move on. Is there really no one else?!

It's little wonder redbacks have done nothing for a decade

McAndrew is pretty handy.
His numbers are impressive too.
Ave 26 with bat and ball.

His average stacks up

It's fine for State cricket but I guess you have to ask what do you value, someone that regularly gets 20s, 30s, 40s or someone who is 80-100 once every ten innings and not much else every other.

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 performances. Only kept his spot last year because he was captain.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Have matched our 314 from the first innings.

 

[1990crow]

SA should look to score 20-30 in the next 4 overs than declare and get a couple of overs at Queensland before stumps.

 

[eth-dog]

I'd want 6 or so overs if I'm SA. One more over then declare

 

[Moonwatcher]

Agar did a Lehmann

 

[eth-dog]

Not sure why SA haven't declared. One or two overs could get a wicket here.

 

[Aussie_boy]

Carey again looking a level above.

Would’ve loved McSweeney to score a ton this game to get his name right up there.

 

[eth-dog]

SA trying to make sure they don't lose rather than trying to win. 96 overs with at least 345 is minimum 3.6 an over

 

[Moonwatcher]

Qld made 308 without their top 3 contributing. Makes sense to push well past 300.

Maybe, but to win the game need to take 10 wickets. At tea tomorrow it they're 5 down and can't win they just shut up shop.

Sometimes you have to risk losing to win it.

 

[Moonwatcher]

How many overs in a day for Shield cricket?

 

[Moonwatcher]

Well, a very un-redback day today.

 

[eth-dog]

Surely an overnight declaration? 360 (or near enough) in 96 overs is very hard to get.

Not sure why I'm complaining, a draw here probably puts us on top.

 

[Cleavy]

How many overs in a day for Shield cricket?

supposed to be 96

 

[eth-dog]

supposed to be 96

Day 4 must be 96. Even if you go over.

 

[ioppolo]

I feel for the Redbacks when Carey is back on test duty.

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