Sheffield Shield League

Cricket Australia Sheffield Shield is all ready to spread joy and happiness among cricket fans. Learn all about the Sheffield Shield 2021 in this article.

Australia’s domestic first-class cricket competition is called the Sheffield Shield, albeit it is currently known as the Marsh Sheffield Shield due to sponsorship. Teams from the six Australian states compete in the competition. The Australia Sheffield Shield bears Lord Sheffield’s name. One of the best domestic cricket competitions in the world, the event debuted in 1892 with just three teams.
The English Cricket squad, led by William Gilbert Grace, was promoted in Australia in 1891 by the Earl of Sheffield Henry Holroyd. He gave £150 to the New South Wales Cricket Association before leaving to sponsor an annual inter-colonial cricket tournament in Australia. The Sheffield Shield, named after its donor, was given to the Tournament’s victor as a prize. The Shield is a non-rotating trophy that measures 109 cm by 76 cm in size and was created by Philip Blashki.
The Sheffield Shield league, like other competitions, has it’s all-time favorite trio, consisting of Travis Head (one of the best captain), Chris Tremain (leading wicket keeper), and Will Pucovski ( considered to be the future of australian batting with his first class start).
A double-round-robin style is used for the competition, in which each team plays every other team twice, both at home and away. The top two teams in the standings compete in a championship game at the end of the season. Points are granted based on victories, draws, ties, and bonus points for runs and wickets in a team’s first 100 batting and bowling overs. The final takes place after the regular matches, which last four days.

A Double Round Robin format is used for the competition, in which each team plays the other twice—once at home and once at the opponent’s venue. As a result, the competition is divided into 10 rounds, with each team playing their matches simultaneously. The top two teams compete in the final at a neutral site after the tenth round. With the exception of the final, which is played over five days, every match has a four-day schedule.
