Just saw a highlight clip of O Keefe's wickets

Wtf why haven't games been called off yet

[aussie tragic]

I just read this about Glenn Maxwell

"The*Herald Sun*reported that the 31-year-old made himself available for selection for Victoria’s Sheffield Shield match against Western Australia, but did not make the final team."

Is this true? I can't believe Maxwell wouldn't be picked in the top 6 bats for Vics if medically cleared

 

[Red]

Remember when Victoria whinged about the SCG pitch, had a match abandoned and secured full points for doing so? Now the most over rated stadium in world sport dishes up that **** and the teams split the available points evenly. What a joke. The same side which batted on to a thousand then bitched when the opposition didn't declare 150 odd behind.

Just the scum of the earth, Victorians. The MCG is just a microcosm of Melbourne itself - generally flat and lifeless, but when it goes the other way it tries too hard and has to be pulled into line. have said it before - the joint thinks its Paris, when it's really Ballarat with lane ways. Almost as bad as Brisbane.

Hey....dont you be dissing Ballarat.

 

[Burgey]

Ballarat >>>>> Melbourne by a large margin tbh

Shield Round 6 - A lopsided season this year with only 4 games after the new year

NSW steamrolled the Qld pretenders, SA won their first game of the season with the Tassie bats unable to put up a decent score aginst the SA pacers. A debacle at the MCG, the game being called a draw and the points split after inconsistent bounce due to moisture in the pitch was deemed dangerous.

NSW on top with 5 wins out of 6 Sandgropers, 2 wins and 3 draws, a fraction of a point in front of the Bananabenders, 3 wins and one draw. The Croweaters have jumped Tassie for 4th, The Vics still winless but with 3 draws.

Star of the round was Weatherald with 126, Henriques with 116, Millenko with an end of innings 100 with 4 sixers, McDermott with 89, Neville with 88no and Abbott with 86. Harry Conway 5/15 from 15 overs was best with the ball while WAgar continued his good season with 5/53 in the Tas second innings to go with 3/68 in the first.

Massive shout out to Bert, who made 166 not out today, two days after his mum’s funeral. Phenomenal exercise in mental and emotional strength, and compartmentalisation.

Tim Ward another ton - six out of ten in two day matches since returning from shoulder surgery.

Never heard of Ward other than your updates but must be a good player

Bertmentum deserves success

 

[Burgey]

I was mistaken re Wardy - it's six tons out of nine two day games. He had a dip in second XI last round and made 80 and 40 odd. He's only 22 or so, so a good prospect, but it's hard to get a gig at the best of time.

 

[Burgey]

Blast from the past with Dan Smith getting Sydney home in the First grade T20 final at Drummoyne yesterday. Made 80 odd from about 45 balls. Still paunchy, still punching.

Got named in a Triple M all-time XI of Aussie fat blokes tonight as well. Everything's coming up Dan Smith.

Yeah that could be seen as a positive and a negative tbf

my favourite Dan Smith quote: when ING cup/Ford Ranger Cup/whatever was on channel 9, the new batsmen would have their stats up on screen. One of the categories was "hobbies", Dan Smith's hobby was "McNuggets"

 

[GoodAreasShane]

What a man


Also, 9-34 for Blake Edwards in Brisbane grade, looked a real handful to face from the footage I saw. Hope he gets more opportunities for Queensland this season

Ben Abbott called up for NSW Metro in the T20 Second XI State League stuff. Well deserved. Hope he goes well. Absolutely monsters it.

 

[Midwinter]

CA XI beaten by the English Lions

What county does Laurie Evans play for ?

 

[Gnske]

Sussex. But I never remember him leaving Warks.

 

[Midwinter]

Pucovski out of CA XI due to concussion.
