2023-24 Australian domestic cricket season

[Prince EWS]

Billy Stanlake playing Shield again is interesting, as only one of two specialist quicks in the squad as well

Yeah I know that is the team balance Tasmania have went with all season and it has worked fairly well, but it does seem a lot more risky with Stanlake's history of being physically brittle

They do have five frontline seamers (and Freeman) even if only two are really specialists, they do have cover if he breaks down or can't bowl much.

Have we talked about Ashton Agar being left out of the WA shield side? They went with Rocciciolli. Big fall from playing the Sydney Test last year

Carder 7* off 89 giving big thirds batsman filling in for the ones vibes. No offence meant, it’s tough out there.

No surprise to me. Last Shield season Agar played 1 Shield game and took 1-105 while Rocciciolli played 10 games taking 25 @ 32.2
Agar is now regarded, in the West, as a white ball cricketer.

Doing a Chandrasinghe.

Ironically this may be his most positive innings ever

Shield being back again today is quite a nice birthday present

Happy Birthday GAS

Is 'Xavier' the new 'Mitchell' in Aussie cricket? First Doherty then Bartlett and now Crone

Parents really need to go back to just calling their children old-man names instead of names they'll be embarrassed about by the time they hit 35.

Hottest of takes

Ben McDermott has more upside than Renshaw

Thing that gets me is when they pronounce Xavier “Ex-ave-ee-er” or “Zay-vee-er” rather than “zav-ee-eh”.

worried about jackson bird's safety throughout the rest of this match now that he dismissed goodwin for a duck

It’s actually Zay-Vee-Are but everyone calls him Zave

 

[Prince EWS]

We call him Croney, or X. Maybe his mum calls him Zave

I think social is talking about Bartlett.

Nice knock by Sam Whiteman ends with a run out.

I think social is talking about Bartlett.

*Facepalm* that would make sense

Meanwhile I see that moving Teague Wyllie down to no. 6 worked well
