SA v NSW Shield match Tues 19-Fri 22 Feb

[Aerie]

Haddin dropped...

[Brodlach]

In Carey, Brown, Cooper, Tietjens
Out Hughes, Ferguson, Lyon, Richardson.

My side

Klinger
Raphael
Carey
Cooper
Head
Brown
Ludeman
Botha
Mennie
Sayers
Tietjens
Worrall (12th)

Cant see us taking 10 wickets with that line up let alone taking 20! we may be lucky and jag first innings points but for me even that is a long way off.

Batting looks OK at best I'm not sold on Raphael i think Carey and Head are great propects and simply have to keep playing for devlopment, Surly Cooper is due, maybe the longer form of the game may help with no real pressure to get going he can just play himself in?? (I hope so as he is a far better cricketer than he is showing) i have no idea who Brown is so cant comment is he the kensington Brown? which leaves Klinger, Botha and Ludeman for mine we need a big score from Klinger who is more than capable, Botha must lead from the front and Ludes can play his natural game but just be a little more selective.

IMO we would have to bat first and post 350+ which to me is a long shot but that would be our only chance of getting points in this game.

[b]Sayers is a work horse but hardly a strike bowler[/b] (i know his figures are good thus far), Minnie well its all weve got, Botha like with the bat must show why we recruited him and lead from the front and i think Worrell will play in front of Tietjens and again he is hardly a threat.

As much as i hope I'm wrong i think were in real trouble we only have 4 out but it just exposses our lack of depth were NSW have a heap out yet they just keep getting the job done. I'll think NSW will take full match points

Worral and Brown will go for 5-6 an over without risk. Sayers and Botha to bowl alot. Don't get haddin out, he will 200no by end of day.

[Lightning McQueen]

2012/13 Shield batting averages of those playing in this game

32 Mennie
29 Head
25 Ludeman
24 Raphael
23 Klinger
14 Worrall
12 Botha
10 Sayers
7 Cooper
Brown and Carey DNB

If everyone gets their average we'll make 176 plus sundries, Carey and Brown. A bit of a worry.

[carey]

4/33 been here before a few times. Brad haddin's wicket is so important now. Don't jinx him Carey

Well if you read my write up its worked so far!

F@#k Brad 'Iron Gloves' Haddin...... Who dropped him?

[westcoastpanther]

Sayers is a work horse but hardly a strike bowler (i know his figures are good thus far)

This was a ridiculous post Carey. You acknowledged he's been good so far but still gave him no credit. He's taking wickets for fun at the moment

[The Sleeping Giant]

The missus and I are off to corny point for the week so I won't be able to follow the match very closely. TSG will be happy about that

Have a nice trip. Catch a fish.

100% agree WCP

[the wonder elephant]

5/108 mennie with the wicket

[RustyCage]

Haddin bowled for 56, Sayers gets his 5th. NSW 6/112

Think Haddin may be struggling with an injury. Has been trying to slog and not running. Had a big swing and a miss earlier in the over and stayed down for a while, got up looking sore and felt his leg/knee.

[RustyCage]

Copeland and O'Keefe in now. Zamora in next. Good chance to roll them here

[the wonder elephant]

Sayers on fire !!! come on backs no late order partnerships please

[BoundaryRider84]

O'Keefe shoulders arms and is BOWLED by Mennie

[RustyCage]

O'Keefe bowled by Mennie for 2.

Mennie has 2/32
Sayers 5/51

Almost a run out a couple of balls prior, only a terrible throw by Head prevented an easy wicket. NSW falling apart here.
