2016/17 Sheffield Shield

[PowerBug]

chadd has 6! SA have 9! Tasmania are a mess

[Nige]

Crazy day of Shield action.

[BB67th]

A day of batting collapses around the whole country yesterday!

[Jukes]

In the Tas innings three players shared the highest score of 17 - that can't have happened to many times, and I doubt many would be higher than 17

[R.Griffen]

Another batting collapse for Tassie

Also how does Cam White not get Aussie selection now. Been wanting it for 12 months does shower loads more than half the Aussie team

[R.Griffen]

SAYERS!!!! Give him a test call up

[PowerBug]

Fricken loving it! Might have to go to the Adelaide Oval again tomorrow to see my D6s man Sayers wrap it up! :D

[R.Griffen]

Jackson Bird has locked himself in for next test with a nice 30 in the second innings since apparently his batting is more important than his bowling

Ha, if only. Unchanged for the next test.

So then, everyone will be watching this round of Shield matches ;D The state players will be loving the attention and possibly a boost in crowd numbers this round! :D Everyone except Starc and Hazlewood are available to play. Lyon vs SOK will be fun to watch, keen to see how Moises bowls them. And NSW are up against Victoria so we will have Nevill vs Wade, Handscomb/Stoinis vs Patterson/Henriques etc it'll be great!

No squads released as of yet though, they'll be out soon I would imagine with the games starting tomorrow.

SA Squad
Alex Ross back, no Mennie or Worrall, David Grant in the squad but likely 12th man

My bad about the test players, NSW squad below:
http://www.cricketnsw.com.au/news/blues-bolstered-by-return-of-test-stars/2016-11-15
SMITH, WARNER, Nevill and Lyon all in. Cowan, Somerville, Gibson and Carters out.

Nothing surprising with this squad. Assume Ahmed will miss like last time.

http://waca.com.au/other/news_detail.php?ID=4755
Voges, Mitch Marsh in for WA. Bosisto, Duffield, Moody all out. Josh Nicholas and Simon Mackin also in the squad.

Also on this page is the Tassie squad, I don't see anything surprising here, Jackson Bird also in.

Qld squad was announced on Monday.  Suspect Burns will have to come in given the directive by selectors. Not sure who goes out though. Could be Marnus Labuschagne given the return of Renshaw as well.

Hemphrey has opened with Burns in the opening two rounds, so I assume it will be him that drops out. Has made 0, 4, 0 and 14 in his innings too so nothing special.

I'm interested to see what they do with the squad because they've got Cutting, Floros, Wildermuth all named and surely they couldn't play them all?
Burns, Renshaw, Labushcagne, Heazlett, Truloff, Wildermuth, Hartley, Cutting/Floros, George, Swepson, Feldman.

Looking at the numbers that the article says about Truloff I think he'll get a debut, depends whether they go two spinners or not. Wildermuth pushed out Cutting for Round 2 so I imagine he will keep the number 6 spot for now. (And he was one of the best in their terrible outing)


I'm disappointed that SA don't have a home game this round as I certainly would've gone down to watch a bit of it :(

Do not know about other states but all Shield games at the Gabba are free.

Agree Cutting and Hemphrey (skipped over him on the list) will be the ones to go
