Redbacks v Tigers Sheffield Shield 15/11-18/11 @ Hobart

[stampy]

livestream just went to blackness so i take that is stumps at 6/216, well done obrien and crosthwaite for digging in and avoiding the follow on

[Media Park]

This is the sort of dig that makes me rate O'Brien so much... Saviour.

[Pat Malone]

No matter what he makes in this innings, Adam Crosthwaite has come in, first SS match for us, replacing the "incumbent" keeper, and he's prevented further collapse, been a part of a plucky lower order partnership with my man Obi, has made double figures, and seen us past 200...

As far as I am concerned, well done so far, now just keep going...

Exactly the same thinking, I would prefer a keeper who can play second fiddle and produce reasonably consistent 50 run partnerships with an established partner than one who averages 30 but is inconsistent. Ludeman only participated in one 50 run partnership this year from memory.

[Media Park]

Klinger- handy knock.
Harris and Ferguson- starts.
Cooper- crap. However he can't dominate every week.
Dougall- crap. Not ready.
Christian- crap. Is a hit and miss player, better suited to number 8.

This got us to 6/170, and then an unbroken 46 run, 118 ball partnership, which leaves us with 6/216:
AJ Crosthwaite 15* (57 balls)
AW O'Brien 29* (77 balls)

After this, we have Chadd Sayers who can hold a bat, Trent Kelly and Peter George (rabbits).

Realistically, we could push 300 as the best result, but at 1/117, we should have roped in first innings points.

[bloods08]

Kelly can bat. Has made 2 or 3 grade hundreds and bats 6 or 7 for West Torrens. Wouldn't surprise me if he comes in before Sayers to be honest.

[Coach Bombay]

How many more golden passes does ferguson get?

[helicopterking]

Crosthwaite can bat all day, good technique, great patience, will be a massive bonus if we can get a top 5 batter to bat with him! Much more consistant then Ludeman! Kelly can slog good, Sayers has better technique. Batting order is right!
Obrien better batter and cricketer then Bailey.
Smith Opens and Klinger goes to 3, Dougall gone.

Agreed
The poor kid looks way out of his depth, i hope he learn from this and turn into a good player I just hope the selectors dont ruin him, he is not ready yet.
Butterworth unlucky not to get a gig in South Africa

Bolwing average of 24, batting average of 27. Just turned 28, I have NO idea why his name isn't considered more often.

[Brodlach]

Solid start this morning.

6/235.


I predict these two to take us to first innings points

[Brodlach]

Maybe not

77th Over
Over 76.5: Faulkner to Crosthwaite, no run, OUT, bouncer, goes to hook, gets a bottom edge and deags the ball down onto the stumps, hardly the best ball Faulkner has bowled this innings, but it got the resut they were after

[heater31]

Solid start this morning.

6/235.

Keep these thoughts to yourself please........


7/237

Crossy gone.....

[Brodlach]

Over 78.4: Faulkner to Sayers, no run, OUT, bowled by a yorker, played over and around that one

8/237

[wristwatcher]

Solid start this morning.

I predict that we will lose 4 for f,all

[Jim05]

We will be bowling within half an hour

[CoverKing]

We will be bowling within half an hour

Including the 10 minute changeover

[Coach Bombay]

If OBI can push 80, and 30 between kelly and george we can win this providing we bowl well.
