Watto scores quick runs? News to me. Not that I haven't seen him do it before, but his tendency is to get bogged down and play in two minds, which I think is because he doesn't ever feel confident with the pace of his innings. I think the opening slot is better reserved for someone who at least projects the impression that they know the kind of score required in the conditions. Coming in at 4/5 (in good time, obviously) would suit him better as he's got a clearer idea of the role he needs to play.
I like Shaun Darsh opening the batting, I'll back him to start scoring runs again.

Miss the IPL, the ODI tour to the Windies and the 2007 WC? Watto has no trouble scoring quickly. He did about 5 years ago, but he's become a much freeer scorer since then.

He's improved (as you can see I didn't say that he hasn't scored quickly before) but he still appears to lack confidence in his own ability to set the pace of the innings. That's why I think he should not be opening. Playing in the middle order suits him better where he knows how to read the situation.

International Regular
Tasmania off to an alright start, 1/65 after 13.5. We need to restrict them to under 250 I reckon.

Considering Krejza doesn't play much OD matches for Tasmania, it would have been interesting to see if they did pick him ahead of Xavier or one of seamers if he was fit.

It is under 15 degrees apparently, well that what Cricket NSW keep telling us.

15 degrees is a fair bit, that was apparently what was meant to be detectable by the human eye, which is weird in itself because they don't/won't call you on the spot anymore, they just report you, so in a crunch game can you just wander up and dart one in ?
we had the problem in a club game a couple of years ago, this little chucker got like 50 wickets in the season with the aforementioned 'darts' yet no one would touch him... ironically he was sri lankan

Does Birdy wear skins? There's a bowler around here who wears them because they help to hide the flex.

Yeah just switched over now. He's certainly better than he was last time I saw him (vs. QLD) but he's still throwing it IMO.

And out for 97 LBW off Doherty. Worst LBW call I have seen in a long time, no way was that out. Maybe if there was a second set of stumps, then sure. But there isn't, so that was quite harsh.
