2015/16 Sheffield Shield

PowerBug · October 27, 2015, 03:21:28 PM

The Sheffield Shield gets underway tomorrow. All the international options will be playing in Round 1 which is a Day/Night round. Normal things will resume in Round 2 as the test match gets underway.

5 Rounds are playing before Christmas, then we break for the BigBash, and then the final 5 rounds will be after Christmas.

In addition, there is a corresponding D6s competition. nrich102 and BB67th, coaches of the Queensland Koalas, took out the One Day Cup that just finished. If anyone wants to get involved with D6s read around and ask coaches, or just simply be an observer and post in the threads if you are watching the matches :)

I first checked in at Tea, and I'm like "oh shower, final session soon" then I remembered.

I could get used to it though.

Would've been better if you actually named him to start with.

Everyone get the flower around Wade. Declared when they were 125 behind. I rate those sort of tactics, but even I thought that was a bit too much, should have declared only around 50-70 behind. However it was proven an absolute mastestroke, they have now bowled Queensland out for 103, after they made 440 in the first dig! He has turned what a few hours earlier looked destined for a draw with Queensland 440 and Vic 3-300 halfway through day 3, into a very good chance of a Vic win. Attacking captaincy that won't always pay off as it has now, but that has to be applauded.

A further congrats to Travis Dean. He would be feeling a heap of pressure I'm sure, given the guy he was selected for was in the process of scoring 280* odd, but played a magnificent innings on debut definitely looking up to the level, ending on 150 odd not out.

Amen to every bit of this post. I thought he was flowering nuts for doing it, but it turned out to be a brilliant move. Great stuff by the Vics. #vicsdoitbetter 8)
