Australian Domestic Season 2018/19

[Burgey]

Bert out for 17 opening in the second dig, but Gibson only made 22 batting three. You'd think that's it for Gibson for the Shield next week, surely.

 

[Starfighter]

You'd think but NSW seem to have England disease where they try the same failures over and over despite getting no improvement.

Bunny ears anybody?

 

[Burgey]

Lol, the bunny will be pretty happy hopping out of the game with 147 to his name in the first dig.

Another fine skipper's knock from Uppal. 15.

TBF I have heard from someone who was there that his first innings knock was damn good, few real crisp drives and was especially severe on anything loose.

 

[Burgey]

yeah look, obviously I big up the bloke because he's a local, coaches my kid and is a top bloke with it, but he is a seriously ****ing good cricketer.

There's a lot of them around, mind. Probably the narrowest funnel of any major sport.

 

[Burgey]

Solway amongst them in the second dig. It's a ****ing mystery how he hasn't got a run in the Shield too. Been consistent for years.

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Fair enough to support the local blokes, from the bits and pieces I saw of the grade final it looks like Parra have a pretty damn handy side. Personally I try to get to a fair bit of first grade cricket, fair few people I have played with and against have been coming through over the past 3-4 years, all of whom much more talented than myself.

 

[Burgey]

Yeah there's some good players around. With Warner and Smith playing htis season, its' well worth getting along and watching, especially early season before the rep stuff bites.

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Yeah the quality isn't quite the same over here, but there is still enough to watch quite an enjoyable day of cricket.

 

[Burgey]

Yep. Admission free too.

 

[Burgey]

Solway gone for 90 and Bert looks like achieving the greatest feat in cricket - hundred in a losing side. NSW Metro 7/180 with Holt and Stobo at the crease.

Edit: Anyone got some oil on this Grant bloke? Picked up a five fer here. What's he bowl?

Tall 21yo right arm pacer, can get some sharp bounce and zip off a good length. Can be somewhat hot and cold, has days where he really isn't that great, but at his best he is definitely FC standard.

 

[Burgey]

Cheers.

Match drawn in Adelaide. Decent last wicket stand to save it.

 

[Second Spitter]

Smith vs Warner in SPC this weekend.

 

[GoodAreasShane]

He's still alive!

Yeah I hope Pattinson can give the selectors the good kind of headaches (not the kind that Australian batsmen are giving them). But for that to happen he needs to string together a few shield matches. I hope he does. The last time I saw him bowl he blew away a very string Queensland batting lineup.

 

[stephen]

In that match he got Peirson, Burns, Heazlett, Wildermuth and Neser. Tremain got Lynn and Labaschagne.

It was brutal bowling from the Victorians, but Pattinson was exceptional. I could hear the ball thump into the pitch every ball. It was the first time I've ever really seen a bowler bowl that quick live. But not just quick, it hurry the deck hard, much quicker and harder than Tremain was bowling.

It was quite memorable and a wonderful exhibition of fast bowling.

 

[Burgey]

No Bertus for NSW, who have picked the same batting line up but expect a different result. Have given them a Twitter spray. Useless ****s.

Here's their selection handbook:
