2024–25 Australian Domestic Season

[Burgey]

On these wickets you really need a 4th seamer

Beau webster looks on for his annual "**** WA" innings here.

The timeline delivers again

 

[TheJediBrah]

Aus could almost field a team entirely of 6'3+ seam bowling all rounders at this point

 

[Qlder]

So the candidates for the vacant opener spot gave us this:

Harris - 26,16
Bancroft - 8, 2
Konstas - 2, 43
Maddinson - 19, 15
Renshaw - 2, 21
Whiteman - 13, 4

It seems no-one wants it

 

[Chubb]

Apparently Davey wants back in. It would be unAustralian to refuse him.

 

[Qlder]

Qld going to get done here, McAndrew ripping through them

 

[Qlder]

Are WA doing a Headingly '81. Only need 83 to win and they're 3-12

 

[the big bambino]

If Cartwright has to check in on his family tassie could win this thing.

Generally have to wait 6 weeks before there would be any point visiting

 

[Nintendo]

Webster needs to bowl a bit fuller. With no short leg the batsmen can either just leave those on length or tickle it down to fine leg if it's a bit straighter.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Good day to be a domestic trundler with the surname Elliott

 

[Qlder]

Where does Bancroft go from here after scores of 0, 0, 8, 2, so 10 runs @ 2.50 in the Shield. Including county cricket, Bancroft now has 97 runs @ 12.13 in his last 5 FC games.

How does he do it so easily for years and then when it really matters he falls horribly out of form?

With 3 openers selected in the A squad does Bancroft even deserve to be a lock at opener (word is Harris & Bancroft will open with Konstas at 3)

 

[the big bambino]

It’s a shocking effort from all of them bar Konstas. I favoured Bancroft (what a joke) but not now. All 3 should be canned. It’s between Konstas and Whiteman imo and I’m sure the latter will flum any meagre chance he has.

So it’s Konstas or picking a half way decent mid order player out of the Shield, Mad dog or Marsh.

 

[Chubb]

I really think they're going to roll the iron dice and pick Konstas now.

 

[TheJediBrah]

or Marsh.

Young Shaun is probably not quite ready, needs another couple of seasons before joining his brother in the Test side

 

[morgieb]

Don’t know where I saw or heard it but Jack Clayton really does feel like the Shield’s answer to Shaun Marsh’s Test career, lol.

 

[Qlder]

Qld going to get done here, McAndrew ripping through them

Thought I'd unintentionally did Gambhiring with a 100 run partnership just after I posted it. It's definitely all over for Qld now though

 

[GoodAreasShane]

You know what, this whole South Australia winning games of cricket thing feels pretty damn good

 

[Kraken]

You know what, this whole South Australia winning games of cricket thing feels pretty damn good

I know I'm biased, but I really do think Liam Scott balances your side really well

 

[Qlder]

McAndrew had a pretty good game. 26 & 46 with the bat and 3-55 and 5-38 with ball.

At the end of the day, mediocrity always reasserts itself. He had a patch of great form for two summers, now he's in crap form, and he's not fundamentally good enough to rise above that.
