Barclay Shield 2017/18

[Old Grey Nick]

What is the benefit or point of only losing 5 wickets when chasing a score and losing?
I understand 350 is a huge score but would've thought Rosanna had been bowled out

Your fascination with the DVCA and in particular Heidelberg and Rosanna is intriguing Pep. When Rosebank see the light and apply for admission into the comp you'll be able to provide them with all the inside info.

Combination of good line and length bowling v poor shot selection. It happens sometimes - Creek bowled us out for 35 last year

73 week later, not good signs early in the season.

Couldn't agree more, apparently 2/80 tea off 40 on lightning fast ground. Reading between the lines looks like they didn't have a crack at it.

i also agree...if you are not even going to try to win, then don't play.....finishing 5 down and losing by 90odd.. have a crack ffs....how anyone can justify that is beyond me.....its un australian....go down swinging.

It might be un Australian, but it's extremely Rosanna like

Your last comment doesn't make sense and actually backs up my theory that Barclay shield teams wouldn't dominate and in fact struggle to make finals in money. I would suggest that Elthams batting would be better than 2/3 of Barclay teams.

Rereading it, it doesn't make much sense but I was pretty much agreeing with you. Was pointing out though that for those people that think the grades are even they are not.

 

[Artie Bucco]

they made the granny in 2014/15, the bu incident happened the season after

I thought it was the same year, I stand corrected.

I think the restructure has made ms stronger as the lower bs shields are in it and the crap teams r in mash shield

Even more the reason why they will do it this year, have learnt how to play with each other and will be far too good for everyone else

The weekend was a reality check.

Mont getting it done again! Batting has stood up so far and the bowlers doing there job. OP's on the other hand. Wowee 42.
