Australian Domestic Season 2017/18

Is KPat just hitting 4s and not bothering to fun for anything else?

 

[Burgey]

I’d just like to actually see him, I dunno, do something - anything - meaningful. Bloke has had a zillion chances at FC level for nsw and repeatedly fails to deliver when it counts.

 

[Gnske]

Is that really Cowan batting at 9?

 

[Burgey]

Cowan eight, SOK nine as Dermo Abbott went in as night watchman

Fmd look at Henriques’ dismissal. Pads away a ball landing outside leg - fine. Forgets to get gloves out of the way and pops it straight to short leg. Show some sense, ****.

 

[Burgey]

Nev’s shot was ****ing rancid too.

Renshaw's form continues to be poor.

Turner's century was vital for WA to bat Queensland out of contention. Which is to say that shield games should be five days, not four.

unless they are at NSO v Vic when lunch on day 4 should be enough.

 

[stephen]

Wtf is O'Keefe batting above Cowan.

Steve Waugh medalist indeed.

 

[Burgey]

Bl00s save it

 

[Second Spitter]

More like: Dics blow it.

Wow, Renshaw is really in a rut. I wonder if there's anybody left who believes he should still be in the Test team.

 

[Burgey]

Dermo Abbott the hero.

There were a few guys here who were adamant that his dropping was the wrong call despite how obvious it was, believe it or not

For giving Arun Finch a Shield wicket?

There was one even during the OZ first innings who was arguing that the GABBA wicket was "perfect for Renshaw".

ATM, Renshaw could bat on a concrete pitch and he'll still be nicking them to the keeper.

 

[SeamUp]

The thing is he is averaging nearly 37 as a 20 year-old opener.

If everybody was picked on pure form you would be chopping and changing every week.

His test performances have been decent.

Whilst I understand leaving him out, the selection policy needs to be less cluttered.

For batting about five hours as a night watchman in day four. Fair effort

Without looking at his stats, Handscomb's done eff all in the 3 Shield matches he played, followed by another failure at the Gabba, which means if they consistently apply the same criteria then he should be walking the selection tightrope at the moment.

 

[Spikey]

They bowled 92 overs, 46 of them from Holland and the part timers, and had a 20 over break. Those numbers don't justify reducing the amount of time they have to bowl NSW out while not really doing anything to actually increase their chances of winning the game. They should still be fine but I find it totally pointless to take 22 overs away from you when you need to bowl 'em out and you're leading by 350 odd anyway

i tried to cover myself but i would have been pretty pissed if NSW didn't survive. Serves Arun Finch right. One of the worst decisions you'll see. They're last on the ladder desperately needing a full set of points and Arun Finch runs up the scoreboard like it's a 5 day test match. Glen Maxwell would never do such a thing if given the C

Exactly.

And if we being honest Khawaja & Smarsh are also looking over their shoulders for their own reasons.

Maxwell will play this series and right now no one else has stuck their hand up like him for the middle order spot. MMarsh in time can get back in, in time - think we all knew he needed a season or two scoring runs for WA.

 

[adub]

I simply could not believe Victoria batted again. Maybe Maxy talked Arun into it as he didn't want to feel bad about beating the state side he really wanted to be playing for this season.

Bl000s get f all points out of the game, but they'll be pretty happy that Vic got f all more than they did.
