Well, the Matador Cup came and went, time for some real cricket. Some really interesting stories coming out today, and it's only day 1!!
1: Glenn Maxwell not named
2: The Duke ball will be used in the 2nd half of the season, not the Kookaburra (This includes a D/N Round with a ball that is a much lighter pink than the one we use)
NSW made 327/7 and declared, already taken Hemphrey's wicket so it's Starc and Hazlewood bowling to Burns and Khawaja :o 7 NSW players are test players (Any surprise?) and the other 4 are Cowan, Patterson, Copeland and Carters. That team is going to be seriously weak when 6 of them are playing tests (I assume Moises will be dropped).
Victoria are doing well against Tasmania in what is the battle for the 3rd seam bowling spot (Siddle vs Bird) at 331/4.
WA are batting first against SA and are 173/3, Marsh and Klinger both made 50s.
And the Domestic Sixes season is back for a 2nd time (Cricket's version of our XVs comps) check out this link (http://forum.fanfooty.com.au/index.php/board,133.0.html) to see what's going on :o

Knowing Memeswell he probably won't even get into double-digits
Joe Burns 8)
The beauty of Day/Night cricket? Can't go off for bad light, so any overs that have been missed can be caught up on the same day! ;D QLD vs NSW went off a while ago, VIC vs TAS had some rain delays and as such are still going what seems for well over the 30mins they usually play extra :P
So Alex Ross is playing for the SA 2nd XI side against South Africa. Does that mean he's fit and not selected due to form for the Redbacks shield match? :o
If QLD get up then NSW will have to be one of the first teams to declare twice and lose the match :P

Yep, that's the one :D Makes me laugh ;D
Do not have to worry about NSW joining the list,
They called up the wrong SA quick into the test squad. Sayers is the man! :D
chadd has 6! SA have 9! Tasmania are a mess
Crazy day of Shield action.
A day of batting collapses around the whole country yesterday!
In the Tas innings three players shared the highest score of 17 - that can't have happened to many times, and I doubt many would be higher than 17
Another batting collapse for Tassie
Also how does Cam White not get Aussie selection now. Been wanting it for 12 months does shower loads more than half the Aussie team
SAYERS!!!! Give him a test call up
Fricken loving it! Might have to go to the Adelaide Oval again tomorrow to see my D6s man Sayers wrap it up! :D
Jackson Bird has locked himself in for next test with a nice 30 in the second innings since apparently his batting is more important than his bowling

Ha, if only. Unchanged for the next test.
So then, everyone will be watching this round of Shield matches ;D The state players will be loving the attention and possibly a boost in crowd numbers this round! :D Everyone except Starc and Hazlewood are available to play. Lyon vs SOK will be fun to watch, keen to see how Moises bowls them. And NSW are up against Victoria so we will have Nevill vs Wade, Handscomb/Stoinis vs Patterson/Henriques etc it'll be great!
No squads released as of yet though, they'll be out soon I would imagine with the games starting tomorrow.
http://www.saca.com.au/news/squad-vs-bulls/2016-11-14
SA Squad
Alex Ross back, no Mennie or Worrall, David Grant in the squad but likely 12th man
My bad about the test players, NSW squad below:
http://www.cricketnsw.com.au/news/blues-bolstered-by-return-of-test-stars/2016-11-15
SMITH, WARNER, Nevill and Lyon all in. Cowan, Somerville, Gibson and Carters out.
http://www.bushrangers.com.au/bushrangers-name-squad-to-face-nsw/
Nothing surprising with this squad. Assume Ahmed will miss like last time.
http://waca.com.au/other/news_detail.php?ID=4755
Voges, Mitch Marsh in for WA. Bosisto, Duffield, Moody all out. Josh Nicholas and Simon Mackin also in the squad.
Also on this page is the Tassie squad, I don't see anything surprising here, Jackson Bird also in.
http://www.qldcricket.com.au/blog/2016/11/14/truloff-earns-bulls-call/
Qld squad was announced on Monday. Suspect Burns will have to come in given the directive by selectors. Not sure who goes out though. Could be Marnus Labuschagne given the return of Renshaw as well.

Hemphrey has opened with Burns in the opening two rounds, so I assume it will be him that drops out. Has made 0, 4, 0 and 14 in his innings too so nothing special.
I'm interested to see what they do with the squad because they've got Cutting, Floros, Wildermuth all named and surely they couldn't play them all?
Burns, Renshaw, Labushcagne, Heazlett, Truloff, Wildermuth, Hartley, Cutting/Floros, George, Swepson, Feldman.
Looking at the numbers that the article says about Truloff I think he'll get a debut, depends whether they go two spinners or not. Wildermuth pushed out Cutting for Round 2 so I imagine he will keep the number 6 spot for now. (And he was one of the best in their terrible outing)
I'm disappointed that SA don't have a home game this round as I certainly would've gone down to watch a bit of it :(
Do not know about other states but all Shield games at the Gabba are free.
Agree Cutting and Hemphrey (skipped over him on the list) will be the ones to go

Free at Adelaide Oval too, so willing to assume free everywhere. You can also live stream them on the cricket.com.au website, sometimes they have commentators for them too.
QLD: Burns, Renshaw, Khawaja, Labushagne, Heazlett, Wildermuth, Floros, Hartley, Cutting, Feldman, George
SA: Weatherald, Smith, Ferguson, Head, Lehmann, Cooper, Carey, Zampa, Richardson, Benton, Sayers
NSW: Warner, Hughes, Smith, Patterson, Maddinson, Henriques, Nevill, SOK, Copeland, Lyon, Bollinger
VIC: Dean, Harris, Stoinis, Handscomb, Wade, Maxwell, White, Christian, Boland, Tremain, Holland
WA vs TAS doesn't start until later
Stoinis taking shower seriously today. 1* off 29 :P
Actually it appears everyone is playing cautiously hahahaha. Renshaw 7* off 61, Dean 18* (76), Khawaja 9* (27), Harris 28 (64)
32.3
O'Keefe to Stoinis, OUT
MP Stoinis c ? b O'Keefe 11 (47b 2x4 0x6) SR: 23.40

Maybe this Smith bloke would be better off at 6, then he could bat more with the second and third best batsmen in the Aus line-up (Hazlewood and Starc)

How do you watch for free? Asking for a cricket live id....
You just need an account, which is free to get :) there's options to pay which let you watch other matches (basically it's what you can see on TV already) but it's pretty pointless I think.

Voges was struck on the helmet when he tried to turn away and avoid a Cameron Stevenson bouncer shortly before lunch on day one.
Voges dropped to his arms and knees, before being carried off the field by two trainers after receiving some medical treatment.

Like him. His 170 over 6 hours against Victoria last year was the innings I really liked from him. Patience is what is needed in the Aus team now but unfortunately he is very young so may have to wait a season or 2.

Handscomb surely gets into the test side after that knock?
Nah
Out Burns + Voges
In
Renshaw + Dean
Some further details on Renshaws innings yesterday.
31 minutes to get off the mark and 7 runs off 66 balls in the first hour. From these you can see why I rate Renshaw as a Test Opener. He is a left hander as well with a build a bit like Matty Hayden. Watching him bat he is a leaver of the ball early in his innings as demonstrated by the facts from yesterday.
At 20 years of age he is the future of Australian Cricket -

Yes exactly the young man they need to put in the team now but Ringo do you really think the selectors have changed that much overnight ? I doubt it I can see Handscomb getting the nod and if Burns gets dropped maybe he will get a go but still think they will choose someone older because that is what they do ::)

I don't think Renshaw should go into the team. Bloke is playing alright but you can't just hand out a test cap because he played a decent innings! He played 9 matches last season, scored a 94, 170 and 146, but no other scores. I wouldn't be choosing him over Peter Handscomb who also looks like he can play a patient innings, has more cricket experience (Only 25yo!) and has a few more scores under his belt. I suppose both could come in as there's gaps at 2, 5, 6 for the next test.
Jackson Bird making the already stupid selectors look stupider.
Even in Sheffield Shield cricket. Nathan Lyon is shower.
So the selectors say a big 100 will be noticed this round.
Handscomb just scored 215.
Anyone think he might get selected, or will the selectors keep up the mediocrity.

Chris Hartley has 536 Sheffield Shield dismissals. The record is 546 (Darren Berry) Record set to be broken :o
Interestingly the bloke in 3rd is Wade Seccombe, who Hartley took over from (And Seccombe took over from Healy). The top 3 are so far ahead of 4th, who has 350 dismissals.

Probably one of the few that agree with Maxwell. Fair enough Maxwell has not made 100 for a couple of seasons but tell me where a keeper batsmen bats at 6 rather than 7. Think Wade as captain has erred in not batting Maxwell at 6. My opinion though. Not sure whether he deserved the fine for speaking out but Wade is now an Australian player. Personally think Wade is over rated as well.
Glen will make a Test player IF, or when he learns how to harness his talent to the longer form!
No, no Captain would ever bat Glen Maxwell lower than #6 in any format .................
The medias not who he should be speaking to, the Vic selectors and Matty Wade is who he should be talking to.

How could you say such a thing? No one in the country can do as good a "Nice Garry" as him ;D
Personally I think Cam White is the unluckiest one here. Bloke is at 7 and in some serious form!
I see nothing wrong with Wade batting above 7, he is a good batsman and not like he hasn't given Maxwell chances up the order (like when they chase quick runs he goes to 3)
Holland 5fer as Bushrangers sink Tassie for 203. Sayers and Richardson have 3 each as the Redbacks have halted NSW at 175/7. Khawaja going nicely with 52* Bulls 130/3 at the WACA

Gutted I couldnt stay for the final session. What a game :o
Just before that shot I saw the open square leg boundary and thought "Lyon bowling over the wicket, will probably pitch outside leg so can't be LBW, if I were Jakey I'd be looking at swinging over there"
And he did :D
Awesome win!

Yeah plus Bancroft, Voges, Whiteman and M.Marsh when hes played have all been off.
Add in the injuries to our pacemen and its no wonder we are stone cold last haha but despite the two quick wickets we are still in a strong position to grab a win tomorrow.
How does one screw a game up like Queensland has?
Better question is... How does mackin get 11 wickets when he has barely got a wicket all year...
To be fair to him, he should be playing. No coulters, dorf and paris really hurting us. Good to see someone get some wickets but because we all knew rimmington was never going to. Well batted by wells and voges- hoping they take us home this arvo for our firs win!

Mackin only played Rounds 3 and 4, took 2 and 3 wickets in each game. So yeah not many, but he has been good before :o Some comeback!
Couple of quick wickets have put Tas in the box seat to grab the win.
I'm a bit torn, I want to see the Vics have a loss but if Tas win WA will still be last haha

yeah, its been a struggle to find our next set of bowlers with these injuries. Moody seems to be next in line and then it was rimmo. But Rimmo sucks these days so Mackin would be next in line and this Nicholas guy seems okay too. Still think we will be last come seasons end but :(
99 runs to go, and 90 minutes left in the game (Not sure exactly how many overs). Only 4 down and two big hitters at the crease.

PB with the commentators curse ;D
Love the jinx I just put on them 8) White and Harper gone in consecutive balls now the tail is exposed under lights with an 8 over old ball
The real cricket starts up again on Wednesday :D We have the confident Warriors at Adelaide Oval, should be fun :)
Poor batting this morning in the shield haha
QLD 2/40
WA 4/40
Vic2/79 (thats not that bad :P )
Looks like Turner will have to pick up where he left off last year, saving WA's arse after a top order collapse ::)

They are using a duke now which might be making batting difficult. And the conditions in Adelaide are overcast so it's basically like being in England :P

Because Crocket Australia thinks it'll make them better prepared for England tours. Even though theres plenty of reasons I can think of why it won't help at all.
i have just seen a picture of the pitch in Adelaide
So greeen!
Lmao @ being SO DESPERATE to beat England they resort to stuff like this (and will probably still get beat) ;D
Looking at the teams...
Who has Nathan Reardon rubbed the wrong way? He was a mainstay at number 5 in that Queensland side, but they seem to not want to play him at all. Also no Peter George?
How Ben Dunk has been dropped is crazy, yeah his Shield form hasn't been ideal but he's not exactly a bad player in the long form.
Kelvin Smith wasn't playing badly for SA, why change it up and go Raphael?
No Chris Tremain for VIC? Form has been exceptional so he must be injured.
And despite being in Australia's top 6 batsmen not long ago Nic Maddinson finds himself out of the NSW batting lineup ;D
How good was that nut from Neser!
Gee those Duke balls really swing a lot more than the Kookaburras. Most batsmen except Burns and Hartley seemed to have trouble with it.

If the conditions are right yeah it'll go. I'll be at Glenelg tomorrow to watch the SA game to see exactly how much.
Chadd Sayers this season:
38 wickets @ 17.34
245 overs, 68 maidens (So roughly every 4th over is a maiden)
As such economy is 2.68
Strike Rate of 38.6 (Wicket every 6 overs)
4 5WI and 1 10WM (Both those increase if he takes one wicket tomorrow)
So with one more wicket, in 12 bowling innings he will have taken 5 wickets+ in 5 innings. Some effort.
If only he played for NSW then Australia would have their 3rd seamer spot sewn up.

The article is spot on. I have (along with many others I'm sure) have been laughing for years as to how BBL performances are all that's required to make the test team. It does seem to be true :-\
I wasn't aware of the huge bias that Hohns and Chappell had. Explains the Stanlake, Swepson and Heazlett decisions then.
200 to win, perfect conditions. Slight breeze, not too hot, no clouds.
First wicket down! Come on boys!!
Back to back by Mackin, hes on fire!
Lehmann was a big wicket, capable of smashing a run a ball 50 and ending the match quickly
Aaaaaand now 5 gone. Lehmanns shot was so stupid right before lunch, and first ball of his innings ::)
Conditions may be perfect but we are screwing this up, typical Redbacks
Joe Burns 2 overs, 1/0 ;D Gun!

Ed Cowan for national team comeback tbh
Uh oh
Well....
:'(
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Went kinda unnoticed because they got belted, but Travis Dean carried his bat in the 2nd innings.
Cameron Green get around him!!!!
17 year old debutante for WA, takes 2 wickets in 3 balls in his 4th over
Let's just hope Green's wickets don't prevent Mackin from taking his third straight 10fer
VIC: 160/7 (White 45, Finch 49, Sayers 4-40)
Sayers off the field though :-\ please be okay!!
actually like Wade so I hope he stays around, but Nevill deserves to be back in the team too

Well done to NSW with their recovery form 2/2 and 3/158 to currently 5/590. Hopefully the heat has turned the pitch to a road and Qld can score runs as well. Draw looming large. Qld and NSW playing for 3rd and 4th.

They always give him stupid games in India/Sri Lanka then drop him when he doesn't perform with the ball ::) Batting alone is good enough to make the squad over Mitch Marsh
Just looking at the Warriors game....
Can we kick Tassie out of the Shield and just get George Bailey to captain a CA XI or something? They'd put up more fight than 10 of the 11 Tigers players :o
Poor Jake Hancock though getting a pair :-\ Has scores of 4, 10, 0, 12, 0, 0 in his 6 shield innings.
Bailey missed a Cartwright full toss, stuck on the back leg plum! He pretty much walked ;D
Hopefully that is the end of the Tassie resistance and we don't see a repeat of the first innings 10th wicket stand!

Aaaaaand we give up 98 runs for the 8th and 9th wickets
As far as 9-wicket wins go that was pretty damn awful
Gave up partnerships of 70 (10th wicket), 41 (8th wicket), 57 (9th wicket), and 48 (10th wicket)
not bad from Behrendorff
Looks like the ball on Top in all 3 games so far,
Geez fair effort in his first FC game in a while!
Haha flower the vics
9/37 is bloody mental, especially in his first game back (and 40 degree heat here in Perth). Showing that scrub Pattinson how to bowl

I think it's 2 not 4 that he was dismissed for today. This whole season has been a shambles for him: 20, 0, 16* (Injured), 2 and 78* were his scores pre-BBL.
He's taken 15 catches this season. Failed to get 15 runs in an innings in 6 out of 9 attempts :P
Behrendorff going for 10-for this innings :)

Very very happy with his performance, but he could've saved it against another team!! :P I hope he turns this 2nd innings into a 50 but everyone else crumbles around him ;)
Sayers watch: 50 wickets overnight, 6 available tomorrow and 2 more matches after this. 67 is the record by Colin Miller back in 1997/98. He currently sits equal 16th of all time. Certainly still within reach but 3 tomorrow would be handy I reckon.
*Actually, it's 3 more games if we somehow make the Shield final. The stats page on cricinfo includes the final as Miller played 11 games

I don't think his FC average of 42 would have affected the result too much at all aha. The way Mackin, Moody, and Green (and Dorff of course) have been bowling there wouldn't be any room for Paris and Coults, they would be good depth but not needed at this stage.
Dorff's figures of 14/89 were good for the ninth best all-time in the shield, just behind Alderman in eighth (14/87). If only he could have taken one more wicket, would've been third all-time. Also took his wickets in far less overs bowled than the guys ahead of him (173 balls, next least ahead of him is 211)
Alright that'll do Jacky, get out now please
This "Bailey" kid goes alright

It's because it's not their commentary, they just take the info from cricket.com.au. That's why it's often overs behind and there's no commentary, no one is present watching those games.
There's comments on the cricket.com.au site for ball by ball, but if you're gonna follow that then may as well just stream the game from their site ;)

CA probably couldn't deal with the possibility of having no Vics or NSW in the final
Good knock by Tremain (always good to see a bowler show the batsmen how it's done),, no surprise that he's from NSW and not Victoria
Tremain the only decent bowler that debuted for Australia in South Africa last year :P
WA had 7 players out LBW in their 2nd innings. Bad batting or bad umpiring?
Noooooo Chris don't retire on us :'( Kinda want them to win now so QLD Can have another match for the legend :)

Just read that and thought his batting this year was as good as early years. Saved us a number of times. A lot will have to go our way to make the finals though and with wet weather predicted for all days will be difficult.
Well done on an excellent career Chris and shame you did not get that Aussie call up you deserved.
And now Xavier Doherty has announced his retirement!!
3 great state players and im so glad Voges played an extended run in the baggy green!
But how funny out of those 3 players if you combine test, ODIS and T20s
Doherty has played the most times for Australia :o
QLD: Chris Hartley (c/wk), Joe Burns, Luke Feldman, Michael Neser, Jack Wildermuth, Chris Lynn, Jimmy Peirson, Cameron Gannon, Peter George, Sam Heazlett, Marnus Labuschagne
VIC: Cameron White (c), Seb Gotch (wk), Travis Dean, Marcus Harris, Rob Quiney, Daniel Christian, James Pattinson, Chris Tremain, Jon Holland, Aaron Finch, Scott Boland
Peirson plays with Hartley. Changing of the guard moment here. Forrest the man dropped.
Also looks like a Rob Quiney recall for Stoinis. and Ahmed also out of the side, I think for Boland.

And read this article
http://www.espncricinfo.com/australia/content/story/1086725.html
Some substance to it with the injuries we see fast bowlers having. Worked well previously and law brought in to protect batsmen from bowlers who took a huge delivery Stride and launched deliveries accordingly. Reversion back would also make it easier for umpires as they would only have to watch backfoot to ensure it was behind line. About time we brought some benefits back to Bowlers. However quite a few spinners may have to adjust looking at some tapes.
Chris Hartley isn't actually retiring on us is he? Still churning out runs and no one can get him out!! Averages 92 this shield aeason!!
My thoughts exactly PB - Hartley is only 34. Rod Marsh was 37 when he retired so I thought with Hartley in the form he is in he should continue.
Anyone know what price Tassie were to win this game before it started?
bad light at 2 in the arvo??? Come on Brisbane get your shower together!
Great first innings from WA, 1.82 bouns points and only conceded 0.5 to NSW, perfect posistion for an outright win!
TAS is a strong position, just need vic to win or hold on for a draw and that second finals spots is WA's ;D
Voges: 72 runs this innings
39 runs the previous 6 innings
At least he's going out with a solid score

It is extremely dark here at the moment big storm clouds threatening as well so may not be too much more play today as weather is coming in from coast.
Well the finals spot was ours but we've decided to blow it.
Unfortunately the tassie players are playing for something bigger than a final spot. And that is a contract for next season ;D
What a collapse by Qld. Pattinson on fire 5/7. To be fair conditions after yesterdays storm and todays humidity really suit bowlers but still no excuse for the 7/32.
Chris Hartley the only Qld player to reach double figures and he is not out. Please Chris reconsider your retirement.
Am I seeing things?
7/21???
Refer above post Torp you must have been typing as I was. 7th wicket fell at 21. but Hartley again trying to resue Qld with the biggest partnership so far in second innings.
Now 9/50
Victorai also lost their last 4 wickets cheaply this morning as well to show the conditions.
Well that was a really quick end to the QLD vs Vic, Tassie would be proud.

D6s final will be going down to the wire. Koop and ftc of the Wombats against Nige and PkBaldy of the Possums. Possums leading and needing to hold off one more day to take the title, Chadd Sayers the man who can change that :o
Tomorrow will be interesting! Here's what it comes down to:
- If NSW chase down the remaining 396 runs (9 wickets in hand) they will play Victoria in the final
- If NSW get a draw and TAS win or Draw then NSW make the final
- If SA take 10 wickets and WA win or Draw then SA make the final
- If WA take 10 wickets and TAS win or Draw then WA make the final
Bit surprised that SA didn't declare with a few overs to go to get a crack at a brittle Tassie lineup
Actually here's the Live Ladder for the visual ones out there :)
1. VIC 60.31 Points
2. NSW* 44.6
3. QLD 41.53
4. SA* 41.24
5. WA* 39.48
6. TAS* 19.64
* still in play
Outright win = 6 points
Tie = 3 points
Draw = 1 point
0/18, have a shower, 5/29 :'(
FFS Tassie! any other team and I would say they are throwing the match haha
I bet the WA boys are feeling pretty showerting right now
NSW 325/6. It's going down to the wire!!
TURNERRRRRRRRRRR!!!! One more please Warriors
23 runs, 1 wicket, 36 balls.
18 runs, 1 wicket, 30 balls.
17 runs, 1 wicket, 24 balls.
Turner and Behrendorff bowling, Nevill and Conway batting.
12 runs, 1 wicket, 18 balls. Voges drops a tough chance.
Ahhhhhhhhh just get a wicket Dorff :'(
7 runs, 1 wicket, 12 balls. Nevill on strike, Turner to bowl.
This is an amazingly close finish to the season to decide who makes the final!
YUESSESESSSOdrhf a'oh o:auhde :
YEEWWWWWWW Ashton Turner you ripper!!!
What a game to end the season though, and to end Adam Voges' Shield career :) Also the end of Dougie Bollinger too most likely :(
Stoinis coming back to WA, good bloke
Vics might actually have to start playing players from their own state soon
Well, this is over already.
Was the final always planned to be played in Alice Springs or was it because Victoria finished top and they obviously couldn't use the G?

Yea couldn't use the G or junction oval
Scores:
Victoria 487/10
South Australia 19/1 :-\
Chadd Sayers takes 7!! Up to 61 wickets for the season now which puts him outright 3rd most of all time. 4 more to catch the now retired Shaun Tait, 6 away from Colin Miller. He'll have one more attempt at reaching the record and one would think that if South Australia have any chance, he will have to take a bulk of wickets.
Well we are gonna get wrecked, but Sayers wicket counter has gone up to 62 now :o
Sayers: 3rd most wickets in a season ever
Carey: most dismissals in a season ever
Carey: 4th player to get 50 dismissals and 500 runs in a season.
Shame about the other players, but these two have been really good :)
