Queensland 243 v New South Wales 291/6 (101.0 ov) - New South Wales lead by 48 runs with 4 wickets remaining in the 1st innings
The 17th match of the ongoing Sheffield Shield between New South Wales and Queensland is equally poised with both sides scoring more than 200 runs in their first innings, after Queensland hammered 243, New South Wales matched their opponents by piling 291 runs for six, at stumps, on the second day of the four-day game at Manuka Oval, Canberra.
Nonetheless, Wales still have a lead of 48 runs and it would be wise of them to hammer a big total on the third day to give Queensland a run for their money.
The second day began with the Queens resuming their first innings from 198 for seven, although they had lost most of their batsmen, still they needed to pile a few more runs to end their innings with something impressive on the board.
The overnight pair of BCJ Cutting and CJ Gannon started off well as they took the score to 214 before the partnership met its demise on the wicket of CJ Gannon, who was caught by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Smith-c90598 off Henriques after scoring seven runs.
Cutting was then joined by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Christopher-James-Jordan-c50838 Boyce and the two batsmen carried the side towards 222 before Cutting fell to Bollinger after hammering 37 runs.
Boyce and LW Feldman then took the score to 243 in the last-wicket partnership before Boyce became the final wicket to fall for Queensland after he had scored 14 runs.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DE-Bollinger-c1348 was New South Wales’ best bowler with four wickets to his name, while he was backed by JK Lalor and A Zampa who shared two wickets each.
New South Wales had a troublesome start to their innings as SO Henry fell for nil with only five runs on the board.
DG Dawson and PM Nevill then forged an impressive second-wicket partnership, taking the score to 79 after which Dawson was clean-bowled by Cutting for 32.
While PM Nevill hammered 55 runs, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/BJ-Haddin-c1170’s staggering knock of 73 played a key role in taking New South Wales to 291 runs before the end of the day.
