Injury blow for Rogers - Cricket - Sportal Australia
Be interesting to see what the Vics do now then. They won't pick Jewell after he and Aaron Finch - ALLEGEDLY - had a confrontation in Perth, where Jewell ended up slapping Finch in the hotel room after the game. Jewell has now retired for good, and supposedly won't be called upon again; that was the word after the incident. Will they stick to it?
They could shift Quiney up to open, he's been the "Mr. Fix-It" for Victoria for a fair while, shuffling him in wherever they see fit. Think that they are grooming Finch to bat at 3, so they won't move him. The options outside of that are:
* Brett Forsyth, on a rookie contract who has done OK in Futures League.
* Tom Stray with heaps of runs in both Futures League (opening) and Grade Cricket (batting at 3).
* Recall Lloyd Mash.
* Pull Peter Dickson or Andrew Kent, who had performed well for Victoria in the 2nd XI competition, but have not seen a game in the Futures League because of the age restrictions.
Be interesting to see which way they go.
