Good approach from 3yS of h1
25 Apr 2017 8:52AM (Tournament); 18 Readers
Grovels through his 1ft h1
25 Apr 2017 8:53AM (Tournament); 17 Readers
Yesterday shot similar to this took 8 minutes.. today it's only a 10 yarder he needs to hit and the timer has started
25 Apr 2017 8:53AM (Tournament); 17 Readers
Snicks it! Less than 2 minutes as well. That's good from Hogan. Rolls up to h2 from peg high
25 Apr 2017 8:54AM (Tournament); 14 Readers
Gives himself a 2y straight
25 Apr 2017 8:54AM (Tournament); 15 Readers
Much better hoop stroke but doesn't get a rush and still has work to do. 2 good shots required for the break
25 Apr 2017 8:55AM (Tournament); 16 Readers
Doesn't get a rush on the ball 7ySE of h3 and is rolling up from there
25 Apr 2017 8:57AM (Tournament); 15 Readers
Grovels through his 3y straight hoop and has a 7 yarder for the break..
25 Apr 2017 8:57AM (Tournament); 16 Readers
Hits!
25 Apr 2017 8:57AM (Tournament); 16 Readers
Hogan hits the peg with his h5 pioneer and gets an OK rush to h5.. still needs a rush out of 4
25 Apr 2017 8:59AM (Tournament); 17 Readers
Doesn' get a rush out of 4 and has to play another big croquet stroke
25 Apr 2017 8:59AM (Tournament); 16 Readers
Did all the hard work then missed his 5y return with everything on a platter
25 Apr 2017 9:03AM (Tournament); 19 Readers
Leaves hockey a 9 yarder for a break. That's a disappointing end to an entertaining turn
25 Apr 2017 9:04AM (Tournament); 18 Readers
Missed! I haven't seen him miss much this event. That's very surprising
25 Apr 2017 9:05AM (Tournament); 20 Readers
Hogan has a 7 yarder from SB to a ball S of h4 for a good chance of the break.. needs to hit this
25 Apr 2017 9:05AM (Tournament); 23 Readers
FINISH!!!! we hear from the sideline
25 Apr 2017 9:06AM (Tournament); 23 Readers
I missed that last week, but boy I'm glad I got to hear that one. That is something special
25 Apr 2017 9:07AM (Tournament); 23 Readers
Hogan gets a southwards rush to h5 and can finally get the break under control if this goes well
Good croquet stroke and will have to 3ball the first few hoops but should get a good leave
25 Apr 2017 9:07AM (Tournament); 24 Readers
Hogan gets to 4b.. I've missed the leave as I went on a coffee run for the Baconator (Hakes)
25 Apr 2017 9:30AM (Tournament); 26 Readers
Fletcher hit the big double down the line and played a poor rush to h1 then took off into the wire
25 Apr 2017 9:31AM (Tournament); 28 Readers
Shilling 1/2 balls a 20 yarder and has two balls near h1 so one good shot required and should have a standard TP
25 Apr 2017 9:31AM (Tournament); 29 Readers
Shilling has a tough h1
25 Apr 2017 9:33AM (Tournament); 30 Readers
Makes it! Is set up for a delayed TP and has a rush out of h5
25 Apr 2017 9:48AM (Tournament); 31 Readers
Gets the rush to h6 and 4b is peeled
25 Apr 2017 9:51AM (Tournament); 30 Readers
Shilling approaching 1b.. 2b pioneer is 6yN of 2b and peele is 1ft W of penault
25 Apr 2017 9:57AM (Tournament); 31 Readers
Break is at risk now.. not a good 3b pioneer and still has the peele in position at penault
25 Apr 2017 10:03AM (Tournament); 33 Readers
Plays a good croquet stroke from the perspective of getting a rush on the poor 3b pioneer.. but doesn't have a proper escape ball to peel to, so it will be a straight double
25 Apr 2017 10:06AM (Tournament); 28 Readers
Plays a 10/10 croquet stroke and gets the penault peel going to 4b.. that was a very narrow channel to go down
25 Apr 2017 10:11AM (Tournament); 30 Readers
In control and loading rover going to the penault pioneer
25 Apr 2017 10:12AM (Tournament); 30 Readers
Rover peele 7ft N of rover
25 Apr 2017 10:15AM (Tournament); 29 Readers
2.5ft peel
25 Apr 2017 10:17AM (Tournament); 28 Readers
Lining it up
25 Apr 2017 10:18AM (Tournament); 29 Readers
Stop shot peel is through by 6ft and has a 1ft hoop
25 Apr 2017 10:19AM (Tournament); 29 Readers
Probably less than that on second thought
25 Apr 2017 10:19AM (Tournament); 27 Readers
Finishes no problem. Game up to the Kiwis. A solid turn from the southern man.
25 Apr 2017 10:23AM (Tournament); 27 Readers
Game 2:
Shilling deep supershot with K
Hockey max distance with R
Hogan lags towards the max distance finished 3yW of it with B
25 Apr 2017 10:43AM (Tournament); 31 Readers
Fletcher 1/2 balls from c3. That was a big shot to hit in the scheme of this match
25 Apr 2017 10:44AM (Tournament); 30 Readers
Greg going round an in control approaching h3
25 Apr 2017 10:51AM (Tournament); 33 Readers
A good turn, with an NSL. Shillings ball at 3b. All other clips on h1
25 Apr 2017 11:05AM (Tournament); 33 Readers
Hogan lifts the ball on the WB and heads to A Baulk
25 Apr 2017 11:09AM (Tournament); 35 Readers
Head down.. head up,.. restalk
25 Apr 2017 11:10AM (Tournament); 35 Readers
We've seen this before
25 Apr 2017 11:10AM (Tournament); 37 Readers
Snicks it
25 Apr 2017 11:11AM (Tournament); 35 Readers
That's enough for me
25 Apr 2017 11:11AM (Tournament); 35 Readers
Equalizing break now for Hogan
25 Apr 2017 11:12AM (Tournament); 35 Readers
In control with 2 balls appraoching h5
25 Apr 2017 11:21AM (Tournament); 30 Readers
3*
25 Apr 2017 11:24AM (Tournament); 26 Readers
Has all the balls now.. currently approaching 2b
25 Apr 2017 11:25AM (Tournament); 26 Readers
Get's to 4b, but has a shocking leave. The only good news is that Aus turned down the 11 yarder with the 4b ball and Hockey missed the 19 yarder from c1 to a ball near the peg
25 Apr 2017 11:45AM (Tournament); 22 Readers
Shilling plays some very good shots, then overapproaches h1 from 2yards which is criminal. On these hoops, you have to give yourself a shot at the hoop. Can get a squeeze out of it, or join up with partner on EB leaving Australia a choice of 15 yarders
25 Apr 2017 11:47AM (Tournament); 24 Readers
Hockey misses
25 Apr 2017 11:57AM (Tournament); 25 Readers
Shilling runs h1 with another excellent hoop stroke
25 Apr 2017 11:58AM (Tournament); 26 Readers
Hogan yells out FINISH!!! from the sidelines
25 Apr 2017 11:58AM (Tournament); 24 Readers
Standard TP for him now. Huge turn!!
25 Apr 2017 11:59AM (Tournament); 26 Readers
Has a hampered shot after h2..
25 Apr 2017 12:04PM (Tournament); 33 Readers
Doesn't look easy
25 Apr 2017 12:05PM (Tournament); 33 Readers
Copes OK
25 Apr 2017 12:05PM (Tournament); 34 Readers
4b peel in the jaws after h3 and in control
25 Apr 2017 12:09PM (Tournament); 27 Readers
He's played some big turns already this tournament, but this one if big.
25 Apr 2017 12:09PM (Tournament); 27 Readers
Doesn't go back after h4 - croquets a ball to 6 going to his h5 pioneer which i think isn't a bad option considering the awful takeoff from 4b to h5. These lawns are pretty flat - but this definitely isn't one of them in that area
25 Apr 2017 12:13PM (Tournament); 27 Readers
Good approach to h5.. now off for a little drink
25 Apr 2017 12:13PM (Tournament); 27 Readers
I really do want to put a step count on Shilling and compare him to someone like Jimbo for a turn. It would be quite a difference
25 Apr 2017 12:14PM (Tournament); 27 Readers
Dam Wi-Fi! Shilling got to peg and rover with a spread. Hockey missed
25 Apr 2017 2:13PM (Tournament); 21 Readers
Hogan finished. NZ 2 AUS 3
