NSW young gun’s career-best haul rattles Queensland on rain-affected opening day
Jack Edwards’ maiden five-wicket haul has put New South Wales in a dominant position on day one of their rain-affected Sheffield Shield opener against Queensland in Silverwater.
However, Edwards removed every member of Queensland’s top five, including Test hopeful Renshaw with his first delivery of the day, in a damaging spell of 5-14 from 54 deliveries. The right-armer had never previously taken more than three wickets in a first-class innings.“It’s been nice to piece it all together and get off to a good start,” Edwards told Fox Cricket at stumps.“Cricket is a fickle game that can change quickly, so I’m trying to enjoy it.
Bird helped Edwards develop his bowling action throughout the pre-season, specifically working on his wrist position and body alignment, which has helped the all-rounder generate an extra yard of pace.“He’s a very clever bowler and extremely skilful, so it’s nice to pick his brains and learn a few things here and there.”
Day two of the Sheffield Shield clash between NSW and Queensland resumes on Thursday morning, with the first ball scheduled for 10am AEDT. The Blues are hoping to end a winless streak of 12 consecutive Sheffield Shield matches, which stretches back to early 2022.
