Maddinson and Smith looking in much better touch today. Wrong format but still good signs. Maddinson obviously very unlikely to actually be picked but I do prefer him (and Whiteman) to the actual contenders.

Labuschagne really does like bowling himself as captain doesn't he. Bowled first change for Qld

The balance of this lineup means be has to get ten overs out of effectively specialist batsmen and the other batsmen are spinners, so it makes sense for him to have an early bowl with the newish ball... but yeah I think him coming on before Bazley who's been picked as a bowler is starting to take the piss.

"Warner's leadership ban lifted after successful review"

Lol, a bit late since he's retired. Can captain in BBL now though

Cricinfo and Fox Sports both think Anderson is going to bat ahead of Green. No way, surely? He didn't even bat ahead of MacMillan for Aus U19, I'd have assumed even Cummins would be ahead of him.

Am I the only one who thinks Smith has completely lost his stumps? 2019 ashes smith didn't get pissed at the umps for lbws because he had some weird six sense for when the ball was hitting.

He's always got in those sort of positions but usually just didn't miss the ball. Missing straight ones on his pads so often is becoming increasingly concerning.

I do think it was probably a bit high today tbf.

Feel like Gilkes is taking a few too many risks at the moment at five down with still so many overs left, but that might be because I think he's a bit **** and will inevitably get out whenever he tries anything.

That makes a lot more sense. Must say I am kinda surprised Anderson is playing in the first place, probably looked the least interesting of the pacers from the last U19WC in my view at least. Seems like the NSW setup really do rate him though, he got a NSW contract where as Straker didn't, hence his move up to QLD

Ah I missed the fact that it's been reduced to 45 overs per side, makes a lot more sense.
