***Official*** Australian Domestic Season 2008/09

[inbox24]

A Bird has just ruined their Hopes.

 

[Burgey]

Kicked off on time did it? How's Dougie bowled?

Bowled OK - but no balls killed him and was taken for two boundaries off free hits.

Thornely and Hauritz have completely shut the Bulls down - Thornely bowled something like fourteen dots in a row to Aaron Nye and eventually got him for 19 in 47.

Just realised Usman got dropped and they played Warner as opener instead of picking a specialist opener like Usman. Some strange selections going on here. Lucky Queensland dire without Noffke.

 

[NUFAN]

I've got to say that I find QLD the least enjoyable batting side to watch in the comp,

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

'The best glovesman in the country' has dropped the biggest sitter I've seen from a keeper.

 

[NUFAN]

Yeah that was horrible, looked scrappy even before the catch, but that was dreadful.

Missing Symonds and Watson together is a bit bad luck for them.

It's just a feeling rather than looking at stats, but Hopes doesn't seem to be having that great a season so far.

 

[Johnners]

Haha seriously, how the **** is Bird still being allowed to play? Assuming his action was dodgy as again today?

I get the feeling that Hopes wont be selected for Australia this year.

OH what a catch by Reardon, good player is Reardon, could be close to a 4 day gig soon.

Didn't look too bad, but I only saw it early. I suspect if an action deteriorates over the course of ten overs, then you may as well give it away.

I'm actually a bit surprised about how well he's bowled in the games I've seen him in this season. The ball that got Hopes today would have troubled most players.

The major issue is his effort ball, not the his action deteriorating over the course of match. He could bowl 30 overs in a day at 120km/h but he wont take a wicket.

 

[Mister Wright]

Swan and Harris keeping our slim hopes alive. Get Hughes soon and it's game on.

 

[Nate]

It's game on.

 

[Jono]

NSW are being ridiculous. This is some of the worst low-chase batting I've ever seen.

 

[gettingbetter]

They dropped Lambert and Khawaja? Really stupid.

 

[chaminda_00]

Why the **** would you play O'Keefe as specialist No 8 batsmen. This is the biggest joke ever.

 

[gettingbetter]

Interesting to note that all of Bird's wickets were unassisted.

 

[chaminda_00]

Unless Hopes and Laughlin can bowl out the rest of the NSW batsmen in the next five overs. Simpson has seriously **** this up. Hopefully for Queensland sake Carseldine still a decent bowler.

**** Smith run out.

Way harsh.
