Sheffield Shield Season 2015/2016

[Jim05]

hate to sound negative, but these boys have come back from the T20's with a real case of the "pathetics"

Last season also

Yep dead right, and like last year, we look like missing the final once again after starting the season so well!

Looks like WA will go from 5th place to take the final spot.

Queensland will be second after today with WA possibly 3rd

Maxwell has plenty of critics, but the guy still averages over 40. Did a "top 10" of the guys I felt were in and around the mark for a call up as batsmen. Only Chris Lynn had a better first class average and I definitely feel like Maxwell's best is well in front of him. Seems to be scratching away today and batting a bit more normally. If he just plays the ball on its merits instead of trying to read the bowler I can see him being well and truly test class. Definitely would prefer him in whites to S. Marsh.

Maxwell averages 40 hiding himself in the middle order at Shield level, would average under 10 if he batted in the top 3. Shaun Marsh has at least proven himself as a top order batter at Shield level

Marsh averages 39 at first class level and for most of his career he has batted in the middle order.

Very lucky to have played as much test cricket as he has.

[Jim05]

Queensland win and move up to second. Need NSW to hang on or we will be fourth tonight

[carey]

and we'll be rolled for 192........

Sorry lads I was 3 runs out. My bad.

Agreed. Only scored about 11 Shield centuries in 15 years.

It would be nice if the big screens could be used for 'around the ground' scores.

$13 carpark.....pleez....Ned Kelly wasn't that harsh

So they made $39 for the day?

[The Bedge]

Day after.. and I'm still in a cranky mood over that piss poor performance!

Don't worry, I'm sure your missus will let you make up for it tonight, just have a pre-release.

After seeing this crap year in year out I just can't even get mad anymore. Makes the occasional win all the sweeter[emoji20]

Cue more condemnation from the Redbacks' biggest critic - Ric Drewer.

if you support Glenelg, these performances are the norm

[Coach Bombay]

one of the callers last night on 5AA was complaining how pathetic we are after the big bash, must have been reading the comments on here

[stan]

Whilst I agree we have been pathetic lately, this further opens up the issue about our depth. Keeping in mind we have lost out best bowler to the NZ tour and best bat in Ferguson to an injury and it appears we simply just don't have the depth to cover it. Which has been over issue for such a long time now.

Depth is a massive problem and we havnt had it since the early 90's. I remember a guy putting together 2 1300 run seasons at grade level and not getting a look in. When was the last time anyone at grade level got even remotely close to those type of numbers

[stampy]

hope we go hard for tim paine, would be a good get

[Coach Bombay]

Very refreshing to see cooper and ludeman dumped. Welcome Alex Carey and jakey W.

[Eagles2014]

hope we go hard for tim paine, would be a good get

Agree, would be great get.

Unfortunately, there is no way in the world SACA will go after Tim Paine, especially while Tim Nielsen is in charge.

Just read his comments in paper today....."we have to be careful to give opportunity to our own players from Under 19 level upwards...".

Translated, that means, we will not be getting any keepers into our squad or my son Harry will not get handed a game.

Shows the conflict of interest having him in that role, you only have to watch training to see him throwing balls, etc for 2 hours to his own son, not worrying about anybody else. Laughable stuff!

So glad Siddons picked Alex Carey, he was the logical replacement for Ludeman, he is the nicest bloke and deserves his chance, hope he does well.

I'd go for Tom Triffit, he's a beauty. Younger and has a huge future if he gets his head right.

An interesting side show to the Grade cricket mergers. Are the Nielsons interested in becoming Western Peckers or have they burnt too many bridges?
