Australian Domestic Season 2015/16

[adub]

What team would you have announced post test players coming back into the comp? Just curious how many you would have kept?

Well just from NSW you have fringe players and rookie contracts like Dwarhuis, Green, Hughes, Lalor, Edwards, Gibson, Pattison, Solway, Thornton, and Conway. Also Larkin who would get a contract pretty much anywhere else. Hughes and Lalor are a bit old but the rest are young guys but none got picked. Even Patterson is only 22. Obvs NSW would have wanted to hold a couple like Patto in case of injury, but surely some of these dudes should have got a crack.

What team would you have announced post test players coming back into the comp? Just curious how many you would have kept?

I think like 10 players were displaced by the returning test players, and like only 3 changes were made to the CA team, plus a forced one because KRichardson was called up to WA. That to me is pretty insane. I would have probably turfed most of the squad, but clearly I'm approaching from a different perspective than GChappell is

NSW aren't usually THAT bad with the test players back...

In short, I'd have chucked everyone with a domestic deal who wasn't selected (or specifically asked to remain as a back-up by the states) into the hat and picked an XI on merit/age.

I mean, picking a stronger XI than the one on show really isn't difficult. I'd have gone something like this as a 15-man squad:

1. Kelvin Smith
2. Matthew Short
3. Will Bosisto (c)
4. Seb Gotch
5. Ben McDermott (wk)
6. Hilton Cartwright
7. Johan Botha (vc)
8. Ben Dwarshuis
9. Jhye Richardson
10. Jonte Pattison
11. Harry Conway

12. Sam Heazlett
13. Alex Gregory
14. James Muirhead
15. David Moody

Like, on what planet does a bloke with T20i caps miss out not only on playing for his state team (fair call given the spin talent in VIC and Muirhead's patchy form), but a ****ing specialist development XI.

my mother, who is recovering from pneumonia, just almost set the kitchen on fire.

Johan Botha in a Cricket Australia XI

Can't see it happening

 

[NUFAN]

Kelvin Smith and James Muirhead are the two big outs that I wanted in.

I don't really mind Pearson, Harris, Bosisto, Gotch, Short, Gregory, Cartwright, Wildermuth, Lees, Dixon being in the squad.

So Joe Burns out off his first ball of the season from the bowling of Fekete.

Very curious to see how Bancroft performs this series..

 

[NUFAN]

Fair to say 3/15 from 5.2 is not an ideal start at North Sydney Oval..

 

[Gnske]

Good thing too, I couldn't handle more GOAT undertakings from Queensland after last night.

especially when Fekete is stealing my boi Rainbird's wickets and Hartley is goooorne!

Still 25 points between em more than that useless **** Watto is gonna provide

 

[Gnske]

What a magnificent dismissal from Cowan

Gently sent it around the corner into the lap of deep fine leg.

I was about to comment how Bazley looks sooo ordinary as a first change bowler and next minute he's gotten the first wicket in the proud clubs history. I didn't mind Hatcher's action at all - Have seen Dixon before and he is fine too.
