Australian Domestic Season 2016/17

[Midwinter]

Comfortable win by Qld.

Burns looked in control, Reardon took all the risks.

Darcy Short looked interesting as the left arm spinner.

Voges also looked good , Bancroft did alright but nothing flash.

The Dorff swung the ball nicely in his opening spell

 

[Burgey]

good god the waugh hype machine is gonna be unbearable after his performances here

When Swaugh brought him to Bankstown, he apparently walked in and said "Does anyone here know anything about batting? Because according to this kid, I don't". Good to know even the legends of the game can't get through to their teenage sons.

Well at least CA love NSW enough to provide a stream for their non-televised games.

Seems Patterson studies at the Broad University of walking.

It was also nice of them to have a few token matches in Brisbane and Perth, even if NSW didn't have to play any of them

 

[Noble One]

Enjoyed the opening spell from Bartlett. Giant of a kid at 17.

 

[Dan]

Bartlett is 17? Was sitting down at long-on and he looks mid-20s.

Not the best of days for PEWS's boi Nair imo, despite the figures.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Well done Moises nice to see you dominate some 17 year old kids instead of displaying some basic competence when called on to represent your country


nah he's a good bloke

Yell abuse at Dwarshuis please

 

[Spark]

Dougeh's facial hair is quite something

 

[SeamUp]

CA XI is competing quite well this season.

Is that good thing or a bad thing ?

 

[Spikey]

Don't get uppity just because WA and QLD couldn't be ****ed to fund a steam

Mate Austin just wanted some tips and Steve just started ****ing droning on about the baggy green and John Williamson

Nice little profile here with a clip of him in action : The Next Gen: Xavier Bartlett (Queensland) | cricket.com.au

Gibson will miss the opener,but will be hard to leave out of The Blues line up,another score,and I'd say he'll replace Rohrer,and that is not a bad thing.

 

[brockley]

Evan Gulbris called in for Ian Holland,in the nets yesterday,I would think they would call him up instead of Fawad for the game today. How Tassie let him go I don't know.

Why will Gibson miss the opener? Because of Test players Warner and Smith?

What, Gulbis was called up to bowl in the nets yesterday? Gulbis appears to be a rocks and diamonds player so he might fit into Victoria's lineup better where if he is bowling rubbish, they'll just hand the ball to one of the 7 other guys capable of bowling well.


BTW, do you think WA are crazy that they picked Wells over Bosisto or I wonder if they'd rather Bosisto being a key player for CA XI instead of a more fringe role for his state.

 

[brockley]

Wells has an ok domestic one day record in the 30's,its first class cricket he really suffers in.

Lets see Cowan,Warner,Maddison,Smith Henriques,Nevill,7 the allrounder,maybe Copeland or O'keefe.

No he doesn't mate.

 

[brockley]

OK late 20's then,just checked it 27.95 and considering he batted down the order for Tassie that was passable.
21.91 first class cricket not passable.
He did not get a state contract due 2 his 4 day numbers.
Which state contracts are generally given on
But if you compare it to Ryan Gibson,well your going 2 be unhappy.

 

[NUFAN]

Yeah Wells average is reasonable in List-A you are correct, definitely seems like one of those players who's best performances are in the order of T20, OD, First Class. For me the question is more whether picking a talented recent Australian under 19 captain from WA is a better fit in a team with experienced bats in Klinger and Voges or picking Jono Wells. I would take the former unless I was satisfied that his stint captaining the CA team would be more beneficial, that's the thing that I don't know what WA think.

The other day when Healy was commentating he said that player X was better than his record suggests. He seemed to say that about many of the middle order bats, I remember it especially for Sam Whiteman who averages like 21 at a strike rate of only 65. The SR is poor, but especially domestically you tend to see lots of bats who come in at 5-7 who's average look a bit below par. I guess the pitches are often less flat than in ODIs.
