It was a very difficult chance.

Labu gets nothing like the loop in the air that Shah does.

Then again Zampa,  a front line leggie, and Maxwell are looking on from the stands.

Brilliant caught and bowled Lyon! I’ve rarely seen a bowler bowl so well and have such bad luck taking wickets. Lyon could have 5 wickets already.

Finally the second wicket. Good over Lyon. Too late now.

The conditions at the moment are rarely experienced in Aussie Shield cricket.

Come in Peevers and Sutherland's replacement.  They want easy batting tracks and drop in pitches.

They want Tests to go the full five days to make as much money as possible in Australia.

The 20/20 BBL dominates decision making for CA.

Paine dropped a very difficult chance off Lyon.

We can still mount a fight back.

Shah has had the Warne touch perhaps Labu should also. He has potential. I wanna pick him as a batsman first with his bowling secondary. We will only pick one spinner for Indian series so Zampa misses out again.

Does Zampa play Shield cricket?

For who?

Agree totally. But we as cricket lovers can do zilch about it. We have to cop it sweet.

Born in Sydney.. now plays for Sth Oz .

He has only played 35 Shield games. Not surprising as Oz tracks are not all that spin friendly..

Where are you from KW? No offence but you dont seem to know a lot about our domestic cricketers.

We are gonna have massive scoreboard presssure again. Can they cope a second time and do us proud?

No doubt Pakistan have batted well, but with an amazing amount of luck!

Don’t want to say too much, Baggers, but I’m not close to any Shield venues.

Our luck seems to be all bad. Some of the reviews that have gone against us for instance.

Agree.

Understand. Shield is now live streamed. You aware of that?

Given  neither of the Marshes and Labu have made no scores  so far, and  Head has only made one, it is unlikely.

One can only watch so much cricket though.

They seem to have settled into batting out the day.

Come hard at us in the morning I suspect.

Well we only have ourselves to blame.

Not tragics like yours truly:P

Paine is setting a very defensive field for Holland.

Several  Asian commenters on Cricinfo are saying attacking cricket is the way to go on these wickets. Hope our boys are thinking the same when they bat again.

Holland is a defensive bowler.

As members we can do a bit - collectively.

However, I'm a political activist against governments at national, state and local council level. It is taking up a lot of time.

I don't have the time or energy to galvanise TCA members as well. Not many are also keen to become active either, or, take the action necessary to receive the results desired.

He is bowling better in this spell.

Lyon is attacking too.

I cannot believe how well he has bowled for so little return.

I don't have the time or energy to galvanise TCA members as well. Not many are also keen to become active either, or, take the action necessary to receive the results desired.         

With that attitude nothing will change with that attitude. We should be the real custodians of our game not the bureaucrats.
