[Nathan Barley]

McInerney again?

McInerney again?

I honestly dont understand how he keeps getting picked. Maybe hes great at washing the coaches car.

 

[eth-dog]

Sangha maybe turning the corner?

 

[Nathan Barley]

Sangha maybe turning the corner?

Looks like an upgrade on Drew and Kelly at least

 

[1990crow]

Sangha maybe turning the corner?

Pumped to see it happening. So much unfulfilled talent.

 

[1990crow]

Looks like an upgrade on Drew and Kelly at least

Drew super disappointing.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Drew super disappointing.

Also without Head and Carey the batting lacks aggression. Drew, even in form, coming in after McInerney and Hunt wouldn't intimidate any bowling attacks unlike Sangha if he can keep this up

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Looks like an upgrade on Drew and Kelly at least was travelling nicely, had three 50s in very few innings, and is now injured.

Kelly's scored 3 fifties from limited opportunities and is a loss to the team through injury.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Kelly's scored 3 fifties from limited opportunities and is a loss to the team through injury.

There's a reason he gets limited opportunities

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Hunt posting another big first innings score. If his second innings scores weren't so pitiful, he'd be close to the test squad.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Hunt just needs to be in a dominant side that doesn't need to bat twice

 

[ioppolo]

Well done Hunt. Seems to have his mojo back.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

There's a reason he gets limited opportunities

Yeah, because they spend most of the year persevering with continued failure from other players.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

And Tassie won the toss and fielded. Interesting.

 

[Aussie_boy]

Hunt would be having a fair old season if he wasn't averaging under 3 in the 2nd innings. Huge knock for Sangha too, will take a hell of a lot of pressure off him going forward.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Yeah, because they spend most of the year persevering with continued failure from other players.

Unfortunately for Kelly their continued failures aren't as bad as his continued failures

 

[Rabish Binney]

Unfortunately for Kelly their continued failures aren't as bad as his continued failures

He needs to be preserved with. There is talent there

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Unfortunately for Kelly their continued failures aren't as bad as his continued failures

You haven't got a clue have you?

 

[Nathan Barley]

You haven't got a clue have you?

Been following the revolving door of young bats like Kelly who come in and out of a struggling Redbacks side and never go on to do much for many years now

He’s nothing special. Doesn’t even look as good as Jake Lehmann

 

[Aussie_boy]

Wonder if we enforce the follow on*? Tassie gets pretty flat on day 4 and think there's a bit of rain still to be had.

*Hypothetical at this stage of course

 

[dumb]

Henry Thomas Raphael James York Thornton with a couple of wickets
Now McAndrew a third

 

[Aussie_boy]

Some pretty poor bowling from Tassie here. Hunt has doubled his previous best 2nd innings score this season already.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Maybe McInerney should play his shots more often

 

[1990crow]

Sangha and Hunt keys to any chance of SA winning the shield.
