Australian Domestic Season 2011-12

[Spikey]

No Nev. nooooooo

 

[stephen]

Haha love it. Couldn't see what was happening on the stream but must have been a catch.

 

[adub]

ah ****

 

[benchmark00]

Aaaaaaaand he's holed out to third man.

 

[benchmark00]

Now onto the real stuff.

 

[Spikey]

still what a ****ing knock. **** off paine you're about 10th in line. may as well retire.

There's nothing wrong with Nevill's keeping, and you'd be crazy to pick Hartley over him on the basis of Hartley being a slightly better keeper despite about 20 runs the difference in average.

Maybe and it might have been closer than I'd made it out to be, but Hartley has been very solid with the bat for the past year and a half (shield cricketer of the year last year). Really is quite an underrated player these days. Nevill is a good find for NSW though, who have had mediocre keepers since Haddin made the national side.

On performance, the test pecking order for keepers should be:

Haddin
Wade
Hartley
Neville
Paine
Other keepers.

well smith was pretty crappy in fc. But Nev's been up for the job since game one i think

 

[benchmark00]

Moises, itstl.

 

[Spikey]

i thought he bowled better than starc tbh. i like it.

 

[stephen]

Yeah wasn't sure if Smith was the only unmemorable keeper since Hadds got promoted, went with the plural just to be sure.

 

[Spikey]

welp dougeh walking off

 

[Spark]

hamstring strain *sigh*

 

[stephen]

hamstring strain *sigh*

Hopefully it's not a tear or something more serious.

 

[Spark]

Can only serve to reinforce the 'not fit enough' notion tbh

 

[Spikey]

some media still going with ankle so who knows.

 

[ajdude]

Rimmington at 6, WAG

 

[NUFAN]

He'd be in the top three "most inflated career bowling records due to the green pitches in 2010/11". He's still young but he's surprisingly gun-barrel for someone who bowls at such a meager pace and he's not performed with the bat as Tasmania would've hoped so far in his career. If he does make it to the top level I think it'll have to be as an allrounder with his batting developing more as he gets older; I really doubt he'll get there on the strength of his bowling alone despite what his numbers are so far.

Faulkner is a great ODI prospect. He'll be a star at the 2019 World Cup.

I didn't see Wade's innings, but **** yeah, I want him in the Tests pronto. It would be such a positive, bold move by the new selectors if they brought someone in for Haddin, perhaps Rodney Marsh will get who he wants?

Pretty pleased that the good guys got first innings points at the GABBA - Boyce has 9 wickets @ 18.33 for the year, good signs.
