Australian Domestic Season 2017/18

[social]

I have shared the sweets of Jnr’s cricket journey with you guys so now the sours.

He opened the batting in their semifinal today and somehow managed to toe poke a near double bouncer back to the bowler after attempting to launch it into orbit off the first ball of the match

Afterwards, he sat down beside me and simply said “that sucks.”

“Could be worse buddy. I had to get up at 6am to drive you here.”��

Always next week

semifinal

Always next week

Not necessarily.

Not necessarily.

If not washed out, he'll get a bowl next week and qualified 2nd so through to the final unless opposition chases down 328

go Vics, still in this
NSW 7/121


did you give social jnr the character building speech?

And Victoria gets the lead. I wouldn't have said that conditions look this difficult, but whatever.

I know he's a Victorian but Marcus Harris wouldn't be too far from selection. He's been making consistent runs and is still quite young.

Good god, Pucovski got hit on the head again. By Abbott of all people.

 

[Starfighter]

Short of a length, took his eyes off it, ducked into it, the full Justin Langer.

 

[Burgey]

Abbott’s bouncer must be seriously deceptive. He scones a lot of blokes and takes wickets with it too.

Slingy action that causes ball to skid on at deceptive pace

Ha ha

He's not stupid so he knows plus I never want to be one of "those" parents

At the end of the day, he's only 12 so no point in making a big thing of it

Harris is an enjoyable batsman to watch and is good in all 3 formats - you sort of think he needs to dominate in one format to get recognised a little more though as he has some stiff competition from other left hand opening bats - Weatherald Hughes Short and obviously Renshaw too.

If you had to rate the pecking order of the 5 left hand openers above Harris isnt the best or the worst option in any format.

Is anyone else not able to even get a scorecard for the SA v Tas game? The CA match centre seems to be working especially badly today.

You can't keep picking a guy who's going to retire hurt every few innings and leave you a batsman short

 

[Burgey]

Bert out C&B to Wes Agar of all people in the Futures League. Hasn't been as consistent post-Xmas. Got 60 odd yesterday in the LO final though. Was a great game - Sydney Uni 277 beat Parra by five runs at Old Kings. Pat Cummins' brother made a pretty classy 120 odd for Uni that was the difference.

Go Vics

Trav Dean tons up !

Sometimes you just have to give it away..It seems it would be the best thing for this bloke to do.
There are plenty of other things to do in life.

He's had so many concussions now that banning him from play seems like the right thing to do for him. He's obviously prone to concussion and the problem is only getting worse. Given what we now know about the mental health effects of concussion, it seems irresponsible to keep picking him.

Honestly it feels like we're setting ourselves up for another tragedy, which nobody wants.

Shame, because he's a real talent too. But better an alive wasted talent than a not alive wasted talent.

I'm sure Beau Casson can relate to Pucovski. For those who don't remember he was forced into retirement by a heart condition.

Yea I agree..it's getting pretty serious now..He should be forced to sit out of the team until he's been asessed for any sort of long term damage.
