South Australia’s Jason Sangha<\/a> has reminded NSW what he’s capable of, scoring his eighth first class century before he was dismissed by the “awful bowling” of Kurtis Patterson<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Sangha started his career at the Blues but left in 2024 to reignite his career. He finished that season with 704 runs at 78.22 and hit a century in the Sheffield Shield<\/a> final win.<\/p>\n

Coming into South Australia’s clash with NSW, Sangha averaged over 100 at Karen Rolton Oval and continued that trend on day two.<\/p>\n

South Australia started the day 1-20 after bowling out NSW for 269.<\/p>\n

Sangha came in at 3-36 after Travis Head (5) was dismissed on day one before Nathan McAndrew (9) and Nathan McSweeney (12) joined him the next day.<\/p>\n

Sangha and Henry Hunt (43) combined for a 108-run partnership before the latter was bowled by Liam Hatcher.<\/p>\n

Alex Carey joined the innings and was at the non-striker’s end when Sangha reached his century.<\/p>\n

The Aussie wicket-keeper was gone two overs later when he tried to sweep Joel Davies but only managed to find Hatcher at fine-leg.<\/p>\n

Sangha pushed along to 115 before he was dismissed in an awful moment.<\/p>\n

NSW captain Kurtis Patterson had brought himself on and with his second ball bowled a half-tracker that was hit for a boundary.<\/p>\n

“This is pretty awful bowling,” Jason Gillespie said on commentary for cricket.com.au.<\/p>\n

But then Patterson bowled another shocker, a full toss down the legside which Sangha hit to Charlie Stobo at deep fine leg.<\/p>\n

“I think this is the worst delivery I’ve ever seen to get a wicket … that should have been hit into 2027,” Gillespie said.<\/p>\n

The wicket was Patterson’s first in Sheffield Shield.<\/p>\n

TASSIE SKITTLED<\/p>\n

While it was runs for South Australia, Tasmania was on the other end of the spectrum against Victoria.<\/p>\n

On day two at Bellerive Oval, Jordan Silk’s side was dismantled for 91 after Victoria had posted 222.<\/p>\n

The score was Tasmania’s fourth-lowest home total in Sheffield Shield history with Matt Kuhnemann top-scoring on 23. Beau Webster was bowled for 5 in the innings, chopping on from Fergus O’Neill.<\/p>\n

O’Neill (3-17) and Sam Elliott (3-22) were the pick of the bowlers for Victoria. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"South Australia’s Jason Sangha has reminded NSW what he’s capable of, scoring his eighth first class century before…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":523345,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[564],"tags":[64,63,740,85],"class_list":["post-523344","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cricket","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-cricket","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/523344","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=523344"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/523344\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/523345"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=523344"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=523344"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=523344"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
