As much as I love Forrest, he got to be one of reason why no one watches State cricket. Greatest forward defensive ever.

Oh god, Bailey taken 4 wickets and the tail is here now. Watch him get called into the Test side in 1..2..3..

Hmm...So Hodge is playing and not captaining.

Reckon it's a good sign, myself. He's been economical as well which means he might actually be bowling a bit quicker through air.
I've always been somewhat of a fan though, TBH.

Hodge was asked to captain when Hussey and White were away during the start of the season and he said he prefer to focus on his own and game and let Victoria develop a new captain just in case White and Hussey are out long term.
Old news really. The choice of Jewell over Rogers or one of seamers is the interesting one for mine.

Pretty sure you rate any spinner in Australia that actually spins the bowl. Only two of those in the country though.

I'm actually looking forward to seeing how Casson performs later today/tomorrow for NSW. The rise and fall of his recent career is unfortunate, to think he was playing for Australia, and only a couple of months later, back to grade cricket. Now with a couple of decent performances for the Second XI and the timely call up of Nathan Hauritz to the Australian team he has earned his spot back into the side.Haha. Casson spins it and I don't rate him.

I wish Victoria would get Holland into the side. I reckon he will play a fair few tests for Australia and be our mainstay spinner for many a year. Only 21, no pressure to rush him into the Australian squad. Australia have a few young spinners running around, and it seems as though the selectors are just waiting for one to step up and secure a spot in their state team and start getting regular wickets. Until then, Hauritz will probably have to do.

Have to be Bailey's best FC figures, and good on him to produce such a good performance in his comeback game, though the real test would be to maintain this form now.
