See CCFMD it just makes the game a lottery. Only CA could set up the structure of their domestic FC competition to dissuade the development of competent batting.
Daily reminder that Head > McSweeney. Bring it on.The more I see of McSweeney the more I like. Would like to see him get a Test debut next summer. He actually looks like a proper batsman, not one that relies on a fair bit of luck to slap a decent score which describes half our Test line-up atm
As a general rule I think each game should contribute the same amount of points, total. If you want bonuses for run rate or first innings leads or whatever, you can do that. But some games are worth twice than others it creates this kind of ****ery.Everyone wants result wickets for the points
The bonus points system this year is beyond my comprehension, but I don't think it's even that complex. With no points for a first innings lead, everyone wants results in every match, and the easiest way to do that with the bowling at hand is a greentop.As a general rule I think each game should contribute the same amount of points, total.

Can't wait till he spends the next seven years injured. In the mean time, can he also learn to bowl an inswinger so we can get a Richardson replacement? I'm itching for us to have a good skiddy swing bowler rather than the diet of line and length seam and whatever it is Starc bowls. We've pretty much wasted Richardson.He looks plenty quick enough at this level too. Really getting it through
In the U19 he had an extremely eye catching outswinging yorker which knocked a few stumps out of the ground, Dale Steyn styleCan't wait till he spends the next seven years injured.

"around 130". You can't have watched a single he's bowled today if you think that.Pump the brakes dude
Vidler bowls around 130
There’s a younger boy at his own club who is quicker, was injured for the 19s but has since had much more success than Callum in first grade
The best of that bunch is Balkin from Toombul who is much quicker again and has taken about 50 wickets in first grade this season. Unfortunately, he’s injured
Good luck to the young man but he’s been picked on potential & because of unavailability
Inglis starting his run at the Test team. Needs to get in there, Carey is uselessBancroft and Inglis rescuing WA after a top order second innings slump. Their stand, plus 100 run first innings lead might be enough.
Classic Social. Also if there's a guy in Brisbane first grade who's 'much' quicker again than a guy who's already allegedly quicker, then said guy has got to be bowling 150 regularly."around 130". You can't have watched a single he's bowled today if you think that.

He's probably going off what his mate told him a few years ago when the kid was 16"around 130". You can't have watched a single he's bowled today if you think that.
He beat batsmen for pace and bounce off the pitch several times in his first spell. Dan Hughes and Gilkes aren't exactly world-beaters but they're reasonably experienced at this level, so have faced plenty of high-130km/h bowling, and AB field isn't exactly the Gabba last I checked for pace off the wicket. So no I don't think he was trundling in and delivering at 130km/h, especially given that the claims I've heard circulated about his speed gun figures are very different to what you seem to have heard.*yawn* Queensland Cricket has speed guns
Vidler is tallish with a nice action but quick he ain’t YET (and might never be)
Doesn’t mean that he hasn’t got potential but there’s a lot of better bowlers in Brisbane atm and the stats back it up
Yup, the only ones I've seen are 143-144.He beat batsmen for pace and bounce off the pitch several times in his first spell.
