2023-24 Australian domestic cricket season

[the big bambino]

Six down now. Moises got his one good dig for the summer out of the way early this year.

Good news is Patterson hasn't as yet. Up side.

Patterson has been such a let down when you consider his talent

He’s an under achieving Elliot

Victoria in a bit of trouble here

You love to see it

Useful knock from Short so far. Fairly circumspect for the most part, but especially early on that is what was needed

100 and out for short. Still a good knock vs a very good shield attack.

Puc not playing as he’s being managed but was Boland dropped?

Boland also being managed, same with khawaja.

"Workload management" for specialist bats is just bizarre. Never remotely understood that one.

Pucovski is a bit of an exception though tbh

 

[TheJediBrah]

Pucovski is never going to be up to the rigours of high-level cricket, mentally or physically

Maybe he could play subbies as a professional. I've had enough of hearing about him as a potential international cricketer. It's over, give it up.

 

[GoodAreasShane]

McAndrew back is great news.

Buckingham out late with a side issue most certainly is not though

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Such a Kelvin Smith dismissal that

Moises WAC

 

[TheJediBrah]

This Nisbet fella looks like he has a lot to work with

 

[TheJediBrah]

There's a commentator in the SA/NSW game that keeps saying "disect the gap" instead of bisect and it's getting irksome

edit: It's Tom Cooper

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Good stuff from McSweeney

Overall game situation still not flash, but it's something

Nice to see renners ton up vs VIC. No boland, but still a decent attack. Is sutherland still under injury managment, FYI. Feels like a real waste of talent for him to be batting 6 and bowling less overs than matt short here, he's a much better bowler than that. If there forcing him to play this role without injury being a worry that's beyond dumb, we already have green and hardie. Sutherland's not making the test team without being a frontline bowler.

Is it just me or does that across movement make jewell nick off to balls he really shouldnt be playing at? Morris got him first up with a good rock, but if he didn't walk across so far I feel like he can just leave that.

I was thinking the exact same thing tbh. Hope it's an injury/workload thing, did have back stress fractures in the offseason after all.

Might just be one of those captains who is reluctant to bowl himself though, which would also be kinda dumb

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Also Weatherald moving to Tasmania and getting canned from the starting XI after one game is an interesting development. Guess Wakim kinda had to keep his spot though after tonning up the game before

Suppose Brad Hope could have been dropped instead

He bowled himself a fair bit when he took the captaincy last year, didn't he?
