Sohail Tanvir is a very exciting prospect. SL have to watch out for him during their tour of Pakistan.

Err... am i missing something here? He can't play for Australia, he's only having a minor stint in the domestic arena for a bit of cash. Then, he would be heading back for the SL matches.

Bowled a beaut to get Thornely. Nice knock from Moises as well. He should open with Warner in the World 20/20 this summer if Watson can’t make it.

Hasn't Henriques basically been **** all season with bat and ball?

With the bat, yeah. He's been statistically poor with the ball but every time I've seen him bowl he's had decent heat and drawn a decent amount of edge play.

Cool, thanks. I've been a bit bemused from afar this season why everyone's going so crazy over Henriques, signing him up to the IPL etc. I can understand Warner because he's had some amazing knocks which will have attracted people's attention.

He actually looked pretty good with the bat as well. But like Shaun Marsh always seem to find a way to get out.

He absolutely smokes the ball (Henriques). Always seem to find the ring fieldsman. Needs to work on his placement and keep the ball down.

In One Dayers and Twenty20 I reckon opening with him might not be a bad idea. It will allow him to hit over the top and technique is good enough against the swing white ball. Hughes could also solve our 3/4 problem as well. Especially if Warner misses the next month or so playing ODIs.
He just needs one big innings to get some confidence at this level. He basically did the same thing with the bat at grade level for 2-3 seasons.

Yep, agreed.
Queensland have produced quite a few Australian cricketers recently - it's a bit weird to look at the side and not see any 'up-and-comings'.

Reardon has caught my eye too, i first noticed him in a ranger cup game earlier in this season against the probably the Vics, he showed very good maturity for his age and struck the ball very cleanly too, seems like a good young talent and the Bulls should definitely pick him for the Shield games.
One more thing i wanted to ask, why is Chris Simpson the captain of the Queensland side, i had a look at his stats and there was nothing much to right home about, surely if there was nobody that good in the side, they could have made Hopes the captain of the side.

Craig McDermott's boy, Alister has broken into their 20/20 side. He looked pretty decent in the game I saw against South Australia. Shame Lee Carseldine is the wrong side of 33 for he looks like a real star.Yep, agreed.

I'll be very disappointing if he's not in the XI for the next match, was so pleased to read that he made 101 in Club Cricket over the weekend.
Yeah Chris Simpson is a strange one, I genuinely wish him the best, but he's just not a very good first class cricketer.
To be honest, I think he is a more than handy ODI and Twenty20 player and his captaincy looks decent really, so yeah shorter format no worries, longer format - he needs more consistent performances.
Lucky that QLD's Shield campaign is going quite decently, or as I predicted at the start of the Summer, Simpson would have done a Nathan Adcock by now.

Yeah he is kind of having a pretty good T20 torunament, especially for a bloke who wasn't even considered good enough for his state OD side, he might have very well earned himself a decent IPL contract on the back of these performances.
Btw why didn't Hughes played today?

Oh yeah... Lee Carseldine - I was hoping he might get some cheap IPL gig and I might get to see him play on TV.

I think it was just a rest. Has played every game in every form so far this year, certainly needs one IMO. BJ and Waugh were talking about it pre-game but I was having dinner so missed what they said. Damn you, crunchy salad!

I'm glad to see there's more resting going on... it's almost becoming a bit like football.
Better than your injury-prone allrounder bowling 174 overs in less than two months... daft thing.
