SA vs Queensland @ Adelaide Oval Sheffield Shield

[blink]

Yeah, 4 out of the 5 with 2 first names, always a bit of a worry.

I haven't met nor heard of many people with the first name O'Brien or Haberfield?

Anyway at the first instance I thought this was an excellent declaration but now that Queensland are going OK, with their two best bats both set, I am getting worried....

2/113 [40]


LEE 39* [92]
BROAD 51*123]

215 needed off about 49 overs
See how stupid that declaration looks now
Fortunatley these are the last 2 recognised batsman [but the keeper is batting beaut]

The highlight this morning was Haberfield bowling to LC on 0*
Outside off stump, LC coverdrived it, b4 you could BLINK it rollicked into the pickets
Thats as good a off the mark cover drive Ive seen
It was Sobersesque

[RoosterMarty]

Ridiculous declaration. I know we had to give ourselves time to bowl them out on what seems to be a flat deck but we shouldn't be handing out 6 points like this. It was always looking like a 2 point game so we should have just taken that and sent Queensland back north with 0.

2/122
A staggering 19 wickets have fallen in 3 and half days

Hyphenated mate, I did say 4/5, I'm sure you'll find a Haberfield somewhere working for Optus.

[wycbloods]

still 2 fa .

200 required off 45 overs.

Flood gates are opening, gotta love the negativity of some people! Mate given just 19 wickets had fallen in 3 days would you have preferred SA to play for the draw?

Another Adelaide oval SS declaration
What will happen now ?
QL gets bowled out
QL goes for 1st innings points
QL declare 170 behind

One innings 1 declaration
Oh to find a bookie that bets on SS declarations at Adelaide Oval


Come on Les wheres those pitches you produced up until last season

Look at those scenarios listed 2 days ago
Yep QL finished 169 behind [or 170 to hit the front !!]
Is anyone surprised that QL would be 170 down and then after SA declared a 2nd time would be set a target
The only surprise was the target of 328 and not 350+

Why did we bother playing the first 3 days I ask ?

QL 2/129
LC 47*
BROAD 55*
only 45 overs left ....

[wycbloods]

Carseldine gone LBW for 47

and when a wicket dos fall it seems to be not out

Over 44.6: Christian to Carseldine, no run, OUT, tries to pull and is hit on the thigh, a big shout for LBW and after a long delay is given, looked clearly to be too high - a dejected Carseldine must go though out for 47

[Ron Burgundy]

Can squeal like a pig

QLD 3/129

You beauty! Now all we gotta do is get rid of Broad...

DRAW
QL 9/247

[westcoastpanther]

would you have preferred SA to play for the draw?

I would have preferred it if only one team was playing for a draw, QLD!!

Not saying we should play for the draw but it was a very very generous target that was set.

A bit more luck like the Thigh Before Wicket and we might pull off a win here.

[the joker]

Qld just slowed down abit now, the current partnership is going at a runrate of 0.30, 1 run from 24 balls, pressure is on them

I hope so for pure amusement value! There will be a lot of blokes on here tucking into a very healthy serving of alphabet soup if that happens. Mind you most will probably be very happy with that dinner option if SA get up!

[wycbloods]

So at tea the game is heading for a draw. They need 182 off 35 and we need 7 wickets.

Get the rrr over 6 quickly and the game will be a boring draw.

Realistically it is probably where the game was going to be at this stage, wickets in hand and a reasonable run rate to chase. I think Qld has the batting power to give it a crack, it could be an entertaining afternoon down there, I can't see them just laying down and doing nothing.
