2023-24 Australian domestic cricket season

Just said that Richardson is expected back for the next game. Seems a bit soon for a dislocated shoulder no?

Really don't think that Wylie should be batting 3 at this point in his career. Don't want to dent his confidence too much, but WA seems to be full of no. 5s.

Also just noticed that Hardie is missing - quad strain apparently.

out of curiosity, where would you bat him instead? he's been a top order bat his whole career essentially. I can get behind a path of batting lower and slowly moving his way up, however when he's been a 1-3 basically his entire career, such a change could be detrimental. Plus, he bats like a genuine top order stick anyway

Look up "missed a straight one" in the dictionary and you'll see a picture of Hilton Cartwright.

That was just bizarre

No. 3



in the 2nd XI

Predictably, it happened after I'd switched to the other match.

Prognosis was pretty good after the game so not surprised

Someone just ripped a big fart on the NSW vs WA live stream.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Good thing WA bat deep

oh wait

 

[Burgey]

Good thing WA bat deep

oh wait

They've probably got enough already

 

[TheJediBrah]

Yeah in the time Joel Paris has has made these 4 runs he probably would have taken 4 wickets if he was bowling

 

[TheJediBrah]

This Stobo fella looks like a batsman at the crease at least

 

[morgieb]

Decent start from NSW.

of course I expect WA to claw their way to 200 and bowl us out for 100.

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Webster stranded on 97.

Kinda his own fault imo, wanted to get back on strike desperately. Rainbird isn't useless with the stick, could have perhaps had a little more faith in him

 

[TheJediBrah]

So out of the 3 openers Vics have gone with Travis Dean as the one to bat 3. Strange choice he's the most opener-y one of them.

Probably because the other 2 both think they're going to be playing Test cricket as openers

Sounds like he may have been concussed in the warm up from what I heard, Kelleway is now listed in the team on the CA website

Tell you what, would have been long odds if someone said there would be a Vic bat out with concussion and it isn't Pucovski

 

[TheJediBrah]

Wtf is going on with professional cricketers getting concussed by a strong breeze

"concussed in the warm-up" is a phrase you should hear once in a life-time, not once a week ffs

Their skulls not closed over properly or something

 

[GoodAreasShane]

In Pucovski's case he has been brained so many times that probably isn't far of being literally true tbf

But yeah, outside of him it does seem weird

 

[Gnske]

Also pour one out for Kelvin Smith, poor guy makes all the runs he can but still gets squeezed out of the squad.

Horribly unlucky

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Morris really can't bat

 

[Starfighter]

Time to see if Morris can bowl outside of Perth.

Also fancy Hatcher actually bowling well.
