**Official** Australian Domestic Season 2013/14

[NUFAN]

Haha. Well they can't get any worse!

Tassie have won the toss are batting, Manjot Singh 12th man for NSW and Rainbird comes in for Clive Rose which I'm pretty happy about.

Victoria are batting, they have ended up making Dave Hussey 12th man despite his first innings 80 last match, while SA play Gary Putland for the first time all year, Zampa 12th man.

 

[NUFAN]

Oh wow that was sloppy from the NSW keeper. He allowed a pressure releasing bye so early in the innings.

Bollinger is bowling quite well. Pitching it up and getting some natural outswing to Cosgrove.

Aaron Finch - Don't ever change!

 

[adub]

Over 4.4: Sayers to Finch, FOUR, driven beautifully through the covers there and to the rope
Over 4.5: Sayers to Finch, no run, OUT, attempted pull shot, it takes the bottom edge, off his leg and on to the stumps! Not a great shot there it has to be said.

 

[adub]

Has Cossie been back training with the Colonel's 11 secret herbs and spices in search of some runs?

 

[NUFAN]

Since the start of 2012, these are Finch's scores for Victoria in Shield matches:

17 innings, 175 runs @ 10.29


EDIT - Had to change it from 16 innings to 17..

Frankly I'm stunned he's in double figures.

I don't get why MiniGolf doesn't play more. Granted I haven't seen him play, but an average of 25, particularly over a few seasons is nothing to sneeze at.

Wow, why the **** is he still being picked?

 

[NUFAN]

Haha, I've had to edit as I miscounted the innings so his average is actually slightly worse. Still just over the 10 mark. I am absolutely amazed that he was talked about as a potential Test player. Thank god he didn't have a Bailey like ODI series in India.

Putland has been injured Morgie.

 

[adub]

Wow, why the **** is he still being picked?

On the fringe of Test selection didn't you know?

 

[adub]

Oh and btw

Dougeh!

been a bit loose though.

 

[NUFAN]

Victoria are again failing with the bat. Not sure if White edged that one though. must have been the thinnest of inside edges to the ever reliable Ludeman. Richardson is bowling a good spell. I switched over to this game as soon as Silk got out, couldn't be bothered watching Cowan.

 

[Tangles]

If scores like that put you near test selection I want some of whatever Invers is smoking.

Time to switch back now pal.

 

[benchmark00]

A nice D00lander ton and Tasmania rolled for 220 would be nice here.

 

[Spikey]

Over 25.3: Abbott to Cowan, no run, OUT, short ball and he falls into the trap by pulling out to deep square leg where Scott Henry takes the catch

Established Shield Player Arun Finch

If he fails second dig and still gets picked next game I am going on a very small rampage, but still its a rampage.

Time to switch back now pal.

Cheers for that. Looking forward to seeing some ***y shots from Doolan.

 

[Spikey]

Over 27.5: Richardson to Maxwell, no run, OUT, trying to cut one that is way to close to him, it takes the edge high up on the bat and is taken by the keeper

cant accuse maxwell of playing for lunch
