Sheffield Shield 2022-2023

Thankfully there is some FC cricket coming up; affording an opportunity to look at those players in contention for the Australia v South Africa series.

3 October: * WA v NSW at the WACA

6 October: * QLD v Tas at Allan Border Field

6 October: * SA v Victoria at Karen Rolton Oval

I know your hatred of all things One Day Cricket is legendary, Mr bucket, but don't we traditionally go with a "Australian Domestic Season 202X" thread to cover all the Aus summer FC cricket outside the Tests???

On this point, the Aus Domestic 50 over One Day tournament, the Marsh Cup, starts today.

Spivs are currently 0-40 after 8 overs v the Vile Vomits.

I didn't even know the domestic OD games were on. To be fair, I had made no effort to find out. You can't hate something you don't give a rats about (ODI's other than World Cups games).

I do actively dislike T20, which I think is shit, and so never worth watching.

The vomits cheated their way to a win vs the dubbers last week

Behind on DL in spitting rain ....pleaded with umps to stay on ...could only face spinners and Lyon bowled out ...smacked their way to lead on DL and walked off

You say that like you"re surprised.

In another surprise the sozzies lose to the twozzies in bonus point speed

Rogers a michelle and jewell a ton

The bigger question in that match is why NSW agreed to bowl Sangha.

NSW rolled for 76 vs WA today

Ferkin horrendous effort by the useless Spivs.

They'd wanna do much better in the Shield match starting in 2 days.

Hey Cheese, can we get a rikki here??

luckily the dubbers won the toss

How long has it been 1 point for a draw?

So the other KP carried the Spivs to a pretty dodgy 180 with a 72*.

Lance Morris, whoever he is, took 5-36 for the Sandies.

Wozzies have started shakily with 2-18.

Morris has been around for a few seasons, skullmeister. I think that's his best effort with the pill so far. Fast but not v consistent in previous outings.

Dwarshuis got a wicket with his first ball in FC cricket

Half a gross....

Good effort by young Wyllie for the Wozzies.

Wozzies win

Dubbers dont

Another pea-hearted effort by the useless Spivs.

Another long fruitless season in the offing.

who was the most recent bowler to do that in the Shield (if any)?

List ....no idea how dodgy it is

Connor Sully then, last season, with Peter McPhee the last before that.

Not such a rare feat.

Still, not many famous names on the list.

Nice to see Borecott's name on the dismissed list.

I wonder if Peter McPhee's feat is a bit more unique ...
