Sheffield Shield Final 2011 Tasmania V New South Wales

[overloaded]

Massive first couple of sessions tommorow. Will Tas consoilidate and get to the NSW total of it or will NSW grab a few wickets and go into second dig with 100 or so lead.

NSW lack of bowling options is a clear problem...... they will struggle to take 20 wickets I reckon.....

When is the next new ball due?

[mighty_tiger_79]

Tassie only have to play the game out for a draw, so NSW have to make the running to try and get a result

Playing for a draw is dangerous

yes it is dangerous i agree but thats all they have to do

are u writing off your $500 already? surely not, cummins always looked threatening, copeland and coyte steady and okeefe was getting some turn

[overloaded]

Not writing it off at all, just pointing out a fact that NSW have very few options with bowling. Maybe the kat could bowl

It is very much a flip of the coin at this stage as to who will be champions I reckon.

[CoverKing]

10 overs to the new ball think mate.
Yes, they lack bowlers but Copeland is capable of bowling 15 straight. Also Faulkner, butterworth, triffit, Doherty, hilf, maher is the batting to come. Get one before the new ball and they can skittle the tigers fairly cheaply

[Media Park]

Copeland has 3/75

TA 4/228- Cowan 112*

[Motorboat]

5 For 284
Cowan just got out for 133 off 329 balls

[stampy]

5/299, just 9 runs off the last 10 overs i hope they are digging a grave for themselves

[mal]

Cant understand the concern about the TA batting tactics
They are facing a 3 man attack
COPELAND who does a great job
CUMMINS recognise his age its a teenage rampage, dont expect too much
OKEEFE good toiler at this level

See these 3 off and the pickings are rich


Facing ROHRER/WARNER/COYTE is the equivalent of breakfast in bed with Jennifer Hawkins naked next to you

5/328
Cossie was given out caught behind today of the pad strap

BUTTERWORTH 74*[140] SS speciallist
TRIFFIT 13*[26]

The 3 man bowling attack
COPELAND 3/108 [50] must have a heart as big as Phar Laps
CUMMINS 2/103[41] has not had much luck , or rest
OKEEFE 1/53[30] usual tight bowling effort

6/254 [121] is a great effort by the 3 man attack

Part timers
COYTE 0/102[28] SS debut ton
ROHRER 0/10 [3] Bowled at a pace that would frighten Primary school kids
WARNER 0/12 [7] Fair dinkum I could defend against him, and I retired a long time ago
KHAWAJA 0/7[2] bowled his straight breaks

0/131 [40] is lamentable, but it aint thier fault, injuries to HAZELWOOD/STARC/CLARK/CAMERON/HAURITZ/HENrebIQUES has depleted thier attack

NS not having a batting allrounder is a telling factor[I assume HENrebIQUES is injured AGAIN]
A brilliant ton By Ed Cowan, and a brilliant deck by the curator has been TA trumps in this game so far

2 days to go
DRAW is the likely result, and a TA SS win

[stampy]

well played by tassie in that last sesh

Carn the Taswegians......

Butterworth: GUN!!!!!!

7/435, tassie in no hurry

[CoverKing]

8/436
Okeefe gets Doherty stumped.

Actually watching it from behind the bowlers arm. Should have been a no ball, watch where okeefe delivers the ball from. Back foot on the line. Umpire missed it.

Can nsw get a lead?

[Jim05]

Tas all out 453 lead by 13
NSW 1/6 Warner out
