Hasn't bowled all year, had a shoulder problem in the winter which may explain it. Supposedly he bowls reasonably well.Hoping Keath does well this weekend. Is he just a batter? I thought he was an all rounder?
I care.Tom Moffatt with more Futures runs today, think Smith can say bye bye to his Shield spot.

Ended up taking 4/78 in the second innings. Did Australian club cricket proud, he did. How far down the pecking order at Victoria would you actually put him?Wow, that's amazing. He's a different unit, lives up to most Frankston stereotypes. Bowls at decentish pace, tends to bowl short of a length, push you back all the time, and then go for the yorker.
Dougeh's leaving after day 2 anyway - well he was who knows now - so Cameron will still get a gameWith Bollinger back the NSW selectors get a headache as to who to leave out. I think i saw Cameron was tipped to miss out in the paper this morning, very harsh, especially as he is a better bowler then Siddle.
In Four Day cricket, which he's probably best suited to:Ended up taking 4/78 in the second innings. Did Australian club cricket proud, he did. How far down the pecking order at Victoria would you actually put him?
The guy still has 100 FC wickets at less than 30, all in the Sheffield Shield. He's been superseded by Hastings, they play very similar roles; tall medium pace bowlers who hit the deck hard and build pressure, and it's a role that's been important for Victoria since Hookes came in.Geez we're getting desperate if Allan Wise is anywhere close to selection.
What those figures don't tell you is how absolutely belted he got in the first innings. Arguably Otago's best batsman.Ended up taking 4/78 in the second innings. Did Australian club cricket proud, he did. How far down the pecking order at Victoria would you actually put him?
I already mentioned that in my previous post. He came back well in the first innings too though after his first spell. Nerves, IMO.What those figures don't tell you is how absolutely belted he got in the first innings. Arguably Otago's best batsman.
Yeah Tasmania have this thing with not playing Birt in the Shield. Now he's obviously a better one day player than he is a four day player but he's still a very talented batsman and it's not like his Shield record is crap by any means.I can't believe Travis Birt was overlooked for Jonathan Wells for Tasmania today. Move Doolan to open with Cowan, put Cosgrove at 3 and put Birt at 5 would have been better. Wells averages 18 for an opener
Thanks for that. About what I would've guessed.In Four Day cricket, which he's probably best suited to:
Siddle
Wright
Hastings
Pattinson D
Pattinson J
Cleary
Sheridan
--------------
Steve Gilmour
Allan Wise
Nick Austin
Jayde Herrick
Austin would be just ahead of him because he's had a super start to the year, has 19 wickets already in a very rain interrupted season. There are probably another half a dozen blokes you could throw up in Herrick's place, a few young guys who have been getting Futures League games (Scott Boland, Steve Reid, Louis Cameron) and some more experienced guys (Marc Carson, Daniel Mueller) alongside.
EDIT: For one day cricket, the line-up is pretty similar, but you also have Harwood and Nannes to get in front of.
I guess maybe a bit more understandable with McDonald out.Keaths 12th man for VICS today.
Herrick >>> all Sydney Grade **** **** bowlers averaging under 25 obviously.I already mentioned that in my previous post. He came back well in the first innings too though after his first spell. Nerves, IMO.
