2024–25 Australian Domestic Season

[Qlder]

Bartlett has ripped out the Vics top order for a timely 5fer

 

[Burgey]

Excellent signs for Bartlett. Would have to be a chance to play in Brisbane if they rest anyone.

 

[GoodAreasShane]

The only question with Bartlett is if the powers that be think he has enough red ball bowling under his belt at this stage, especially if Marsh is still in the team and not able to contribute much in the way of overs

Skills wise he looks like he absolutely has what it takes imo

Maybe rest marsh for webster if you bring in barlett?

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Ahh, that's what Merlo is in the Vic team for

Decent snare tstl

 

[Nintendo]

What are queensland doing?

 

[Qlder]

Bit rough on Bartlett. Bowls Vics out cheaply and then only 13 overs later he has to have a bat

 

[GoodAreasShane]

A fairly typical JFM innings, if somewhat longer than usual.

At 4-331 when he came in, I'll take it. Just know though that he wouldn't have changed his approach in the slightest if he came to bat at 4-31 though

 

[Qlder]

McGurk almost has his FC average up to 20 (19.77). Bring it up a couple of more runs and he can be the next Bethell

It was a tight situation, a bad deck too. 20 runs out there is worth a hundred

Yeah, like Bradman, just slightly less of a wanker

 

[Nintendo]

Bradman averaged 20 on wet wickets. Mcgurk is twice the player.

Sangha actually made lots of runs in Sydney grade to keep getting recalled too.

That's the thing, it wasn't like he was getting picked purely on underage runs. He did get a pretty absurdly long rope and he did have to go eventually, but there was definitely a player there IMO.

It is interesting re: his off-field professionalism apparently wavering when he was in NSW. Sometimes a change of scenery is what's needed, and sometimes people have **** mates in their home state. Can think of a few Shield guys who I think should consider changing states.

 

[Gnske]

I can already see the Tasmania cap on Gilkes's head

Baxter Holt erred in taking his talents to WA

 

[Qlder]

Thank goodness Steketee can bat at #9. His 44* and 37* so far giving Qld a chance

 

[Qlder]

Has Davies lost his #4 spot already as Gilkes is slotted in above him in all the scorecards. Really is having a poor season

He's still averaging slightly more for the season than Gilkes is fwiw

 

[Prince EWS]

Yeah I think they just think batting him lower might get the most out of him at this stage.

And I think this was always true but they probably gave him a shot batting higher because of he was a PONI.

Gilkes relentlessly getting picked still sucks though. Bring back Larkin.

 

[morgieb]

Gilkes relentlessly getting picked still sucks though. Being back Larkin.

He has managed two fifites in his last two games in fairness. Very lucky that Philippe got picked for a couple of T20 matches.

 

[Gnske]

Anyone fancy opening for QLD atm with Renshaw? I think even Burgey could do a better job than Street right now
