Neser damage and Tasmania’s batters put strain on Queensland’s remaining bid

Tasmania 5 for 325 (Jewell 98, Webster 91*, Doran 58) vs Queensland

Queensland’s choice to ship Tasmania in to bat at Bellerive Oval didn’t pay dividends due to half-centuries from Caleb Jewell and Beau Webster.

Queensland, who’re in a tense battle with Victoria for a spot in subsequent week’s Shield remaining, commenced the day disastrously with the lack of strike bowler Michael Neser.

The Test paceman was dominated out minutes earlier than the beginning after struggling an ankle damage through the warm-up, with Liam Guthrie coming into the aspect in his place.

Jewell, having hit three figures in his final Shield and One-Day Cup outings, fell to the brand new ball after edging a Guthrie supply to Joe Burns at first slip.

The 25-year-old left-hander had shared in two century partnerships, placing on 104 with Jake Doran (58) for the second wicket, after which 120 with Webster for the fifth.

Left-armer Guthrie made essentially the most of his eleventh-hour inclusion and made a double breakthrough after lunch, with two wickets in three balls knocking over Mac Wright and captain Jordan Silk for a duck.

Mark Steketee, the Shield’s second-highest wicket-taker after Neser, struck in simply the third over eradicating Tim Ward for two, however had little additional pleasure regardless of the green-tinged wicket.

Second-placed Queensland should a minimum of equal Victoria’s end result in opposition to Western Australia in Perth if they’re to safe a spot within the season decider.
