Australian Domestic Cricket 2025-26 - 2 x titles to defend!

[locky801]

Marnus on his way to 200

Qld 3/280

Marnus 149*
Hearne 54*

Sometimes i even surprise myself

Marnus out for 159

Qld 4/296, into the tail now as Jimmy (I love batting against SA) Peirson comes to the crease

[jackpot jim]

i would love a dollar for everytime usman has been dismissed like today playing that nothing shot

Couldn't agree more.

Utterly terrible shot, zero footwork, no idea why he's even playing at it ?

Go back through his dismissals in recent years and gets out to the same shot over and over again and that's why he shouldn't be in the Test team EVER AGAIN

If he averages any more than 20 this series i'll be shocked

[locky801]

Konstas putting together a solid innings here 52* off 82

[locky801]

McSweeney really needs to work the ball around more, 4 off 41 again so far, not good enough for a number 3

Last time i looked he has a test average of 44 opening the batting.

McSweeney painful dig comes to an end 26 off 97

SA 3/158

Konstas goes back to ramping openers and scores his first shield runs in a while.

Cant wait to see him do it to Joffra Archer

SA in all sorts again

5/205

Only 2 results possible here, a draw if SA can bat till tea tomorrow or a Qld win

Lead by 35, website says 11 overs left today

You (or anyone) see Lehmann's run out? Very good fielding and terrible running between two senior players.

Made 53 and Gilkes 64 but Boland gets it done for the Vics taking 5/67 ( including the last 4 for 1), Vics win by 38 runs.

WA currently 8/203, need 56 to win.

SA 5-238 lead by 68 hopefully carey and scott can push on tomorrow.

Has averaged 32 in his last 18 Tests over 2 years. He aint the Future or even the now imo

SA 5-238 lead by 68 hopefully carey and scott can push on tomorrow.

I dont think SA are fully switched on based on the many brain fade dismissals in the 1st innings.
This game could've almost been over today if Qld didn't put down 2 of the biggest dolly catches of all time that you'd expect U/10s to take with their eyes closed

Haven't seen it, but was wondering how anyone could get run out given the game situation.

[RB]

Tasmania beat WA by just 3 runs. One of the closest ever Shield matches in terms of runs. There have been I think two 2-run margins (including our win over Tassie last season) and two ties.

[RB]

SA couldn't put on many today, set a target of 139.

At lunch Queensland are 1/26. Khawaja with a quicker, caught behind off Lindsay.

[RB]

Marnus with his first failure for a while, out LBW for 18.

Queensland 2/66 and looking like they'll get it done.

McSweeney painful dig comes to an end 26 off 97

SA 3/158

From my earlier post regarding McSweeney:
Since his return to shield cricket after being dropped from the Test team:
2024/25
Round 8 - 20 & 7
Round 9 - 60 & 18
Round 10 - 41 & 27
Final - 0 & 14
2025/26
Round 1 - 0 & 6
Round 2 - 41 & 26

When does the conversation start about his place in the team (if it ever does)? Protected species because he's an interstate recruit?

Needs to lift but I don't think anyone is banging the door down to replace him.
