2024–25 Australian Domestic Season

[Qlder]

SA on a blitz, made 82 off 11 overs today. They also showed how to use bonus points getting a whopping 2.15 points for their 415 off 100 overs. Qld need to do the same batting to get their points > Vics with a win (will be behind WA with a win)

Rocchiccioli has a solid case for being the 2nd best spinner in the country

I actually prefer Lyon/Rocc/Pope to Lyon/Murphy/Kuhnemann

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Don't mind just grinding QLD into the dirt here, no need to try and force a result whatsoever from a South Australian point of view, can afford to try and ease the load on the bowlers a bit

 

[Qlder]

With Khawaja watching the F1, can't believe Qld picked Hearne to open instead of Lovell

I was sort of hoping Marnus would open as an indicator he may do it in the WTC Final (to save his career)

 

[Qlder]

Well done Carey. Only playing his 4th shield game but now joins Hunt with most centuries (3)

 

[Qlder]

The only thing Qld can do now is score 430 off 100 overs. This will give them 39.50 points which is more than Vics can get even with a win (they'll have 39.49).

Obviously doesn't matter if NSW or WA win

 

[Qlder]

That's the 10th over Lehmann has been in the 90's and he's still only 94

Edit: then quickly gets his hundred lol

 

[Qlder]

Well that's it for Qld, season over. Looks like a SA vs Vic final

I feel like the latter are better in conditions where you might genuinely need multiple spinners, but I do think in Australian conditions Rocco is probably the best option post-Lyon.

Pope, though he has improved I still feel like could really **** the bed on an off-day so I really don't think he's worth picking in normal circumstances.

If by interesting you mean catastrophically stupid, I agree. Genuinely hope the Vics lose by an innings and 200 because of that

As for Shaw, yeah seems not the worst idea from a Vic perspective. Only question is how good his glovework actually is, the fact that Gilkes kept ahead of him in that one game earlier where Philippe was out is hardly a ringing endorsement of his work behind the stumps

Shaw is a very good keeper, I would say that it’s more to do with the fact he’s a weapon in the field

 

[Qlder]

And that's all the bonus points finished. Obviously teams need to win for 6 points to knock Qld out of the Shield final (a draw for Qld will keep them 2nd even if Vics win)

2. Qld - 38.76
3. NSW - 36.39
4. WA - 35.43
5. Vic - 33.49

Ahh thanks, good to know actually. Certainly saw some very good fielding out of him in the few games he played for the Sixers

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Also, not exactly sure why Ollie Davies has been doing so much bowling here

 

[tony p]

Qld did remarkably well to get as many as they did.
Wonder whether S.A. will declare and make a game of it tomorrow.

Who would S.A. prefer to play in the final.?

T. Sangha has taken way longer to develop than I thought he would. 4 years ago I thought he'd be playing test cricket by now or thereabouts, but it feels like hes a worse bowler than he was at 19/20 right now.

Seen it happen with a lot of leggies. I've seen plenty actually get significantly worse by early-mid 20s than they were as teenagers.

Kellaway finally might be breaking out

Kellaway finally might be breaking out

Still remember him making that ton vs full strength SA in the touring game when they had jansen, rabada and prime nortje. Always rated him.

 

[Qlder]

Vics could get a 350 lead and have 6 overs at WA tonight

In the other game why is Tas still batting under lights in a pink ball game when they are 505 in front?

 

[Spikey]

i wouldn't feel safe setting nsw a target below 550
