Australian Domestic Season 2018/19

[Prince EWS]

After all the debate on where Arun should bat, turns out Dean lasted all of five balls making the whole argument moot in the first place

He would've batted four or five without the whole argument, so not really all that moot. It's just that Langer won. A bad day for cricket.

At least Handscomb is scoring some runs.

At least Handscomb is scoring some runs.

If he tons up you'd think he'd get the spot over Travis, who usually has trouble converting.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Judging by the squad looks like a 3-way battle between the 3 H's, Head, Harris & Handscomb, with 1 to miss out. Probably figure the batting order out (ie. Khawaja opening or 3) after knowing who's playing. That would be my plan anyway. So far Handscomb out ahead.

Queensland with Khawaja and Feldman looks like a much stronger side than last week.

 

[stephen]

And as I say that Renshaw falls for 2.

 

[Starfighter]

ffs

 

[TheJediBrah]

Be funny if Renshaw never plays another Test match

No it wouldn't.

Goes to CA website. Sees headline "Test Stars Fire for Vics" Checks score - all out 167.

"Starring" has a different meaning to the old days, it seems.

 

[Starfighter]

Starred through failure maybe?

Stocks in Bert Ltd are rallying with NSW back to their usual capitulation in Perth.

Queensland with Khawaja and Feldman looks like a much stronger side than last week.

Can't agree about Feldman, bloke just wobbles it around at a pace that is barely even medium fast these days. Seeing bowlers of that style run through sides is to me more an indictment of Shield batting quality than anything else.

 

[stephen]

Feldman is a far better bowler than Doggett. I expect Doggett will get better over time but I think you're under rating Feldman a bit there.

Half centuries are the new centuries.

Feldman is a far better bowler than Doggett. I expect Doggett will get better over time but I think you're under rating Feldman a bit there.

I think if you lack pace then you need to be a cut above skillswise in order to compensate. Guys like Chadd and Copes have proven they are capable of this, Feldman isn't of the same calibre imo. As for Doggett, he certainly isn't the finished product, can be frustratingly hot and cold, but has a much higher ceiling as a bowler.

Surely we don't want to become more like County Cricket?

 

[stephen]

No but Feldman is decent. He's a solid domestic quick, averaging 26 over his 9 year career.

Wade top scores for Tassie again.

 

[GoodAreasShane]

I think he was decent, back when he was younger and quicker. Still can't rate him these days though.

 

[stephen]

Geez Tassie has a long tail with Bird batting 9. Pyecroft is almost the perfect name for a bowler.

Burns looks like he wants to score all the runs today. 45* (44) is rather aggressive when Victoria were all out for 167.

Patterson set for another disappointing half century.

The CA website has been very glitchy today, constantly flicking my browser window to different matches.
