SA v NSW Sheffield Shield

[rod_rooster]

QLD are currently 7/51 in their second innings against Tassie after a first innings lead of 16. Might be another tough small chase for tassie.

NSW 2/124

Hughes 77
Rohrer 37

You don't mean the team we got excited about beating in a shield game two weeks ago....

They had Watto then though

Slow days cricket from NSW yesterday
278 in 96 overs!!!!! Something drastic is gonna have to happen in this first session if there's going to be a result. They wont declare under 400-450 and that will take another 50 overs or so.

NSW finally declared at 6/483

[rod_rooster]

First innings points are the best we could possibly hope for but it will be an incredibly difficult task. Klinger and Khan will have to make big scores you'd think.

Cricket is an individually selfish game - Daniel Smith's 100 seemed more important than declaring at the right time. I dont' get that. Surely team comes first?

on the other hand, Thornely declared when he himself was on 87

[MagareyLegend]

Yes but when he should have declared (1/2 hour earlier) he only in the 70s.

Are you agreeing or defending?

[locky801]

Harris gone for 20

S.A. 1/62

Just saying if he was being selfish he wouldn't have declared when he was on 87
Younis on 49*

[locky801]

Looks like it isn't a pitch you can score quickly on

[locky801]

Khan gone for 49


S.A. now 2/99

Corporal Klinger 20*

[Not Scared]

Sounds like a fairly batting friendly wicket. What are the chances of Klinger scoring another ton? Hopefully we bat for the rest of the game. They didn't play for a result so we shouldn't bother to either.

[the joker]

its raining now in sydney

[the joker]

the covers are up, they are playing, and Maxy is on 34* and has passed 800 runs

[Thiele]

[Thiele]

Another 50 to Klinger

SA 2/142

[Thiele]

Lunch day 3

SA 2/152

Klinger 53 n.o

Borgas 15 n.o

[redandblack]

Seems like a declaration later today is the best option.

Seems like a declaration later today is the best option.

Personally i would go for first innings points and be happy with that.

[redandblack]

Yes, if we're 3 or 4 for 350, we will, otherwise we'll decalre, I'd think.
