Sheffield Shield 2024/25, QLD vs SOA 5th Match Report, October 20 – 23, 2024

South Australia 314 (Hunt 136, McInerney 51, Whitney 5-57) and 352 on 9 Dec (Carey 123*, McSweeney 72) Queensland 308 (Peirson 94, McDermott 52) ​​and 229 (Clayton 91, McAndrew 5-38) for 129 runs

There seemed to be little need for Renshaw to play when McAndrew was off stump, but he misused his cover and curled the ball straight to Carey after a 21-run total.

Bulls captain Marnus Labuschagne said that Renshaw’s failure did not help him at all in his Test, but added that all is not lost.

“I definitely think it’s important for him. If the other guys are running and it’s going to be a tough call, it’s always going to work that way,” Labuschagne said.

“That doesn’t mean he won’t be able to hit well in the next two[Shield[gamesandmaybechangepeople’sopinionsoropinions[Shield[gamesandmaybechangepeople’sopinions”[yeShield[imidlalofuthimhlawumbeashintsheimibononomaimibonoyabantu[Shield[gamesandmaybechangepeople’sopinionsorviews”

Test opener Usman Khawaja, 39, joined Renshaw on the field, and he went straight to Carey without kicking as Queensland chased down 359 to win.

Labuschagne (10) and Ben McDermott (0) were dismissed either side of lunch as the hosts reached 79 for 4.

Debutant Lachlan Hearne (44) and Jack Clayton (91) got the Bulls back to 106 runs for the fifth wicket.

Wicketkeeper Jimmy Peirson (10) had the misfortune of being dismissed caught behind by paceman McAndrew as South Australia turned the screws to bundle Queensland out for 229.

McAndrew capped off an impressive performance after taking three wickets in the first innings and making a crucial 46 in the second dig.

Carey was named best player. His first innings of 42 followed by an unbeaten 123 stamped his class, and the Test gloveman took 10 wickets, including seven in the second innings.

“He’s been fantastic for us since coming back from Test duty,” South Australia captain Nathan McSweeney said.

“Last week he scored 90 and 100 for us too. The way he plays and the runs he makes are winning games.

“It’s not easy to come here to Queensland and win. This game was good for our team. After a few tough years, I hope it’s a good start for us.”
