So now that Vic have lost, ideal result for this match is Redbacks steal the win here.

A draw would be nice

A draw would be nice

draw knocks NSW out or just makes it unlikely?

 

[Voice of the G]

Not sure JFM is a opener at this stage in red ball cricket but is only young.

 

[yabsy]

Yikes, 2 down already...NSW will probably win this with nearly a full day of play remaining

When your whole team is doing as poorly as the Redbacks, you may as well see if JFM could have a Warner esque transition into Red Ball - and he would only ever be the opener.

 

[Black Diamond]

Very similar to his first innings dismissal.

The thing about Warner is he actually had quite a good technique and would try to construct his innings properly.

Would knock them out.

They've just spent a day and a half in the field, opposition makes over 500. In walks our openers who obviously couldn't wait to get back into the dressing room ASAP. Two of the worst shots you would ever want to see from players who are supposedly trying to salvage a draw and build on a career.

What on earth was Brazell trying to do? I can't even begin to describe the shot. I have no idea where he was trying to hit it, but neither did he. Then our old friend JFM. Ball tailing away outside off stump. "See ball, hit ball" lights up in his brain. Leaves plenty of room between body and bat, and slashes away at a ball he should be leaving.

2/2. I don't know how much longer I can continue watching cricket, the so-called batting is doing my head in.

Correct but full credit to the current 2 batsman who are still in at lunch and you are still 2 down.Mc Sweeney I think has prospects of playing higher grade cricket then shield.

How about the start to Chris Green's first class career? 528 runs @ 52.80 and 35 wkts @ 24.86.

Should move states to SA or Tassie. Better spinner than Manenti and Freeman

 

[largebus]

Why didn't they declare after tea? SA still would've had no shot of winning.
Put the pressure on them to bat out 4 sessions and have the chance to chase down a small total

Would it have given them any more overs to bowl them out? SA will pass their total by the end of today anyway so NSW would have spent the same amount of time batting. Just whether that time was the end of today or the end of yesterday and they chose to only have to bat once and take the runs while they were free.

It’s not like he can’t get a game for NSW. I’m not exactly sure how he gets wickets but he does, good on him for having a crack at Shield Cricket.

6 50’s in 11 games is a very solid start for a bowling all-rounder.

I can't recall the last time a Redbacks top 6 batsman did it.

Can SA hold on?

If there's a way to lose, Rebacks will find it.

 

[MisterMarcus]

Draw.

 

[Freezin]

What was Henriques thinking by batting on this morning? Gee NSW run home was all set up for them to do a Kiwi at the Melbourne Cup finishing line over WA or Victoria.

Seeing that he is from NSW means that he'll be a shoe in for the test side soon....

Nice how he wears a long sleeve shirt when bowling - more effective in hiding his bent arm!

I'm sure the 2 Victorians and the Tasmanian who make up the selection panel will be keen to get the NSWman in there.

There's been 1 player from NSW make their Test debut for Australia in the last 7 years (Kurtis Patterson). In that time there have been 5 Queenslanders, 5 Victorians, 4 West Australians and 3 South Australians.

I was a little surprised NSW didn't declare a lot earlier and set up a chance of the outright. If Redbacks won it wouldn't have mattered.
