2021-22 Sheffield Shield.

[Donny]

4/297.

Street 126*, Peirson 73*

[23 YIPPEE!!!]

Think Tassie are 2 quick wickets in beating qld and taking outright points need a lead of say 90 runs in 2nd innings and bowl out qld cheap

[Donny]

5/336. Street out for 143. Peirson 93*.

[Donny]

5dec./355. 145 behind. Peirson 105*.

[23 YIPPEE!!!]

Early declaration by qld probably now plays into tassie hands now. Tassie needs a quick fire 200 runs.

Interesting.

[Donny]

Silk 100 n.o. and Peirson 106 n.o.

Nice start to their season's batting averages.

[Donny]

0/49.

Ward 26*, Jewel 22*.

[K]

Another dead pitch in Tassie v. QLD.

This is bad for cricket. And bad for state batsmen's development.

And again Marny reminds us of how much lower his Sheffield Shield average is than his Test average.


"Both Labuschagne and Burns departed as frustrated figures, missing out on a chance to cash-in on a batter-friendly pitch at Karen Rolton Oval."

(cricinfo)


Last year, Burns told the media his poor form was 'cos he'd been "too eager to cash in on flat decks". Has he learnt anything?! Maybe he should seek advice from flat-track bullies like Smith.

Now 914 runs and only 12 wickets.

Shameful pitch.

[Donny]

Stumps.

Tas. 1/59. Lead by 204.

[Donny]

1/114.

Ward 70*, Neil-Smith is 13* from 84 balls.

[Donny]

Tas. leads by 259.

What's Neil-Smith doing ?

Ward's moving along @ a 71.43 strike rate. Quite a contrast.

[Donny]

Neil-Smith discovers his bat is also useful for actually scoring runs.

He races to 30* from 113 balls !!

Ward is 80* and Tas. leads by 287.

[Donny]

Ward out for 81 to Kuhnemann (2/50).

2/143.

[23 YIPPEE!!!]

Another 25 runs by Tasmania and looking at declaring set say 340

[23 YIPPEE!!!]

Tassie should declare now it’s drinks break and 317 runs ahead
