Sheffield Shield - SA v Qld, commencing 30 Oct

[85 WAS A GOOD YEAR]

Shield has been free for 3 or 4 years.

Cool, just shows how long since I've been

[RustyCage]

Do any other states have free entry too? I know it's $5 entry for Vic shield games at the MCG

[RustyCage]

This game will again be streamed on the Cricket Australia website

Just saw the The Australia A XI to face England:

Moises Henriques (Captain) NSW
Glenn Maxwell (Vice-Captain) VIC
Trent Copeland NSW
Ben Cutting QLD
Alex Doolan TAS
Callum Ferguson SA
Jon Holland VIC
Usman Khawaja QLD
Michael Klinger SA
Shaun Marsh WA
Tim Paine TAS

FFS hopefully this doesnt interupt with the redbacks fixturing. Already lost Ferg for all but one game of the one day season just so he could sit in india and do Sweet **** all.

Hows Copeland getting a game? Couldnt even get a state gig in a team missing starc and cummins in the ryobi cup? I see Holland is getting a gig too. So i am guessing he is infront of Agar and Ahmed now in the pecking order?

AUSTRALIA is hiding leg-spinner Fawad Ahmed from England with a plan to unveil him as Australia’s surprise Ashes weapon in the first Test at Brisbane’s Gabba next month.

The selectors deliberately avoided choosing the Pakistani refugee for next week’s Australia A game against the tourists in Hobart so England’s batsmen could not get a good look at him.

CURATING king Les Burdett has described the pitch he has prepared for the historic Sheffield Shield match at Glenelg Oval as "very reminiscent of an early season Adelaide Oval pitch''.

"It's come a long way in the past five weeks and I can honestly say it's very sound,'' Burdett said on the eve of Wednesday's Redbacks Shield opener against Queensland.

Lets see what it's like by the end of day 3. I said 3, mostly because there might not be a day 4.

I read yesterday that Copeland has taken 78 wickets @17.2 in the longer form of the game since the start of the last shield season

Nice scoreboard

[stampy]

so! here we are again, wonder what this summer is going to bring, we won the toss thats a start!

[Brodlach]

Klinger gone, caught behind 1/7

[heater31]

Harris roughing up Raphael as well....

Rhino probably reminding him of how he fared against him in Grade cricket here......

[Coach Bombay]

Well chuck has two spoons from two seasons. I'd imagine anything below 4th and he will not be her next season. Already got another spoon to his resume this month, and has yet to take the strikers to the major round

Comp (thunder dont count because they have been irrelevant)

Has got us a 20/20 title when it was a proper state v state comp not this franchise bullshit. Also got us a 1 day title as well....

Was a chance to make the finals of both Shield and one dayers last year late in the season but the players let the coach down...

[Phantom Gossiper]

Harris complimenting Raphael on his fine batting?

[Brodlach]

After 14 overs, 1/15

Head 8*
