2016/17 Sheffield Shield

[PowerBug]

Well, the Matador Cup came and went, time for some real cricket. Some really interesting stories coming out today, and it's only day 1!!


1: Glenn Maxwell not named
2: The Duke ball will be used in the 2nd half of the season, not the Kookaburra (This includes a D/N Round with a ball that is a much lighter pink than the one we use)

NSW made 327/7 and declared, already taken Hemphrey's wicket so it's Starc and Hazlewood bowling to Burns and Khawaja :o 7 NSW players are test players (Any surprise?) and the other 4 are Cowan, Patterson, Copeland and Carters. That team is going to be seriously weak when 6 of them are playing tests (I assume Moises will be dropped).

Victoria are doing well against Tasmania in what is the battle for the 3rd seam bowling spot (Siddle vs Bird) at 331/4.

WA are batting first against SA and are 173/3, Marsh and Klinger both made 50s.



And the Domestic Sixes season is back for a 2nd time (Cricket's version of our XVs comps) check out this link to see what's going on :o

The beauty of Day/Night cricket? Can't go off for bad light, so any overs that have been missed can be caught up on the same day! ;D QLD vs NSW went off a while ago, VIC vs TAS had some rain delays and as such are still going what seems for well over the 30mins they usually play extra :P

So Alex Ross is playing for the SA 2nd XI side against South Africa. Does that mean he's fit and not selected due to form for the Redbacks shield match? :o

If QLD get up then NSW will have to be one of the first teams to declare twice and lose the match :P

Haha nice finds. I think I remember putting it through stats guru once and got about 6 games, but could've been something different.

I do know that Australia declared their first innings once, and lost the match by an innings!

Do not have to worry about NSW joining the list,

[PowerBug]

They called up the wrong SA quick into the test squad. Sayers is the man! :D
