Australian Domestic Season 2018/19

[GoodAreasShane]

Hope this is just some sort of cautious workload management and not something more serious.

That reminds me, is that **** Mick Lewis still the Vic bowling coach?

 

[Burgey]

Great fightback by the Taswegians here.

 

[TheJediBrah]

would be something to win after 80 all out on the first morning

 

[TheJediBrah]

Who else is pumped for a Jackson Bird 50

 

[Burgey]

I think if he played for any other country, he would probably bat four and open the bowling.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Another breakthrough for the finger spinners. That's 3/40 from them so far this innings.

 

[Burgey]

They'd have been all out for 12 if Victoria had simply persisted with the quicks. That, and the people would be entertained, not having to endure this dirge.

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Jackson Bird WAG

Get him in at 6 for the Test team

 

[Burgey]

Cricket will always be more entertaining and the batting side always enduring more pressure under quick bowling than spinners. It's a simple fact.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Bird's batting is also very fun to watch. He's a better package than Starc atm IMO

 

[GoodAreasShane]

If I had been living under a rock without seeing any cricket in 10 years, and I was asked to pick which of the Victorian spinners just played for Australia, I would probably say it would have been Matt Short

 

[TheJediBrah]

Matty Wade loving to play against his old team. 2nd Ton against the Vics this season coming up

 

[Burgey]

Matthew Wade might be the hero Australia despises, yet needs. The cricketing Bill Shorten.

 

[Burgey]

There it is. One of Australia's most popular, friendliest, approachable cricketers brings up his ton.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Never should have left Vic. Can't even keep for Tas when Paine is playing. Would have been part of a very strong team at Vic too, having him instead of Gotch as keeper.

Plus wouldn't have had to spend as much time in Tasmania.

 

[Burgey]

Tasmania >>> Victoria tbf. Beautiful place.

 

[Burgey]

This would have to be getting pretty worrying for Victoria. Lead up to 275 now and building. Pitch still looks good, but it's a tricky last day chase.

Edit: all out now. Be a tricky little session tonight.

 

[GoodAreasShane]

And Riley Meredith registers his first FC runs

 

[stephen]

Who else is pumped for a Jackson Bird 50

That's my boy.

 

[Dan]

All over in Canberra. Lyon 5 fer, Haze 4.

Meanwhile, Wil Bosito no doubt catching JL's eye with 45* vs SA.

Look Burgey, Bosisto knows how to bat time and he clearly forms a strong partnership with Shaun Marsh. It's not even a question - he clearly should be batting #5 come the First Test.
