Got to give NZ one thing. They’ve won a test in Australia more recently than England have.

Thinking about the future of cricket and furthering NZs interest/participation. Is it worthwhile looking at the joined setup in both countries to strengthen first class cricket?

Ie add a north and south side from NZ to a shield comp and then go back to one major city t20 for each state and then add 3 sides from NZ.

This Aussie team just does not give up.

Cric info has him at 85 NO ?

Cricinfo live scoring is often delayed on Shield matches. The Cricket Australia app is better for domestic cricket.

https://www.cricket.com.au is a better site for domestic, also give you replays of the dismissals.

They finally got McSweeney for 117 (174) and SA all out for 271

The only bowler in that Tasman lineup I have ever heard of is Beau Webster. Gabe Bell? Iain Carlisle? Kieran Elliott? Jarrod Freeman? Brad Hope?

Matthew Elliott’s son?

Don’t think he is

Pretty sure Matt’s son is Sam, and he had to choose between cricket/AFL.

Matt has 2 or 3 sons of which one went to footy I think

Isn’t that Will Elliott?

I think both. Sam was definitely in AFL contention but chose cricket, Will has chosen footy.
