Re: Sheffield Shield

Sheffield Shield leading run scorers (including the current round) makes for interesting reading:
-Alex Doolan: 444 runs at 55.5 (1 century, 4 50s)
-Matthew Wade: 412 runs at 82.4 (1 century, 4 50s)
-Marcus Harris: 393 runs at 98.25 (1 century, 1 50s) - stats are skewed by a 250*
-Tom Cooper: 392 runs at 56 (2 centuries)
-Shaun Marsh: 362 runs at 120.66 (1 century, 2 50s).

Doolan is an interesting one. He's made some runs against good attacks this year opening the batting, but only averaged 32 in the Shield last year. He's the kind of player who gets in really hot runs of form and makes a heap of runs but goes through big troughs.

Wade is starting to make a really good case as a batsman too - he's still only 30, an experienced cricketer and averaged 43 last year.

I like Wade. Like Cam White he's a cricketers cricketer.

Re: Sheffield Shield

Thoughts on Victoria not batting Finch at the top of the order today? I think it's symptomatic of an attitude that puts trophies ahead of test cricketers.

Even worse it's like 8 different organisations pulling in different directions at the same time.

Jhye Richardson (young WA quick that has played some limited overs cricket) took 8/47 yesterday as they rolled NSW for 261. Patterson made a fighting 107*

Tom Cooper another knock.

Re: Sheffield Shield

Matt Wade scored 63 on a day when 18 wickets fell and the next highest score was 25. I'd like to see him batting higher in the order, but I'm not sure any batsman has a better case for inclusion...

He's been very good with the bat. He might not be in the mix for higher duties but he is a very good in the Sheffield Shield

Re: Sheffield Shield

Did anyone see James Pattinson trying to rile up Stoinis? Get a few wickets Patto before you start giving others advice

Yep. Looked like there was a bit in that.

Wonder if they weren't on good terms when Stoinis played for the Vics?

Re: Sheffield Shield

Some big scores in Shield Cricket across all states.

Charlie Wakim (Tassie) 160 on debut is a fair effort.

Re: Sheffield Shield

Patterson keeping up his form with a ton as well...and Bancroft making the selectors think after carrying his bat and making 138*

Just on a side note re Bancroft, did WA play 4 players who have been the wicket keepers for that state in the same team?
