Tasmania bank innings points against SA

Paceman Luke Butterworth took six wickets as Tasmania banked first innings points against South Australia in the Sheffield Shield match in Adelaide.

After posting 3(dec)-403, Tasmania bowled the Redbacks out for 224 and enforced the follow-on before tea on a rain-affected third day.

Butterworth claimed 6-49, his best first-class figures, to help the Tigers to a hefty 179-run lead on the first innings.

The advantage would have been greater if not for resistance from SA wicketkeeper-batsman Tim Ludeman and tailender Chadd Sayers.

Ludeman compiled 85 and Sayers made 38 not out, the pair combining for a 107-run stand for the ninth wicket – the biggest partnership of the innings and the highest ninth-wicket union for SA against Tasmania.

Ludeman and Sayers each registered their highest first-class scores to frustrate Tasmania, who were also hampered by rain which caused about two hours of play to be lost on Thursday.

The Redbacks resumed the day at 7-93 and Ludeman and Nathan Lyon took the total to 111 before Butterworth struck.

The 28-year-old quick dismissed Lyon (11) when the Test offspinner was caught at mid-wicket by Alex Doolan.

Sayers joined Ludeman and they scored at a run a minute before tweaker Jason Krejza broke the partnership.

Two balls after smacking Krejza for six over mid-wicket, Ludeman attempted to sweep a fullish delivery but missed and was out lbw.

Soon after, No.11 Gary Putland (four) was also trapped lbw by Krejza to end the SA innings.
