Australian Domestic Season 2020/21

[Gob]

Good will hunting

 

[Spikey]

Starc please stop bowling

 

[TheJediBrah]

same thing happened last season IIRC. Starc and Lyon (and maybe Cummins too) were crap in the Shield games before the Tests

doesn't instil a lot of confidence though

 

[Gnske]

Congratulations to cricket genius Jimmy Peirson on almost literally cutting his way to a BIG century

 

[Spikey]

I've seen enough, Renshaw for test opener

 

[tony p]

Back to back double tons, not a bad way to open your account as an opener.

Pucovski joins a fairly short list of Australians who have hit back to back double centuries, not all of them in the shield.
Giffen, Frank Tarrant (Middx), Ponsford (2), Bradman (4), Simpson (2), Burge, G Marsh, Hills, & Clarke.

Lloyd Pope currently, 25-0-169-1. Not sure this is helping is development. Not sure how good he may become, but this is way to expensive, crap side not withstanding.

 

[Gnske]

Do Australian spinners ever really get help developing?

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

I take an obscene amount of pleasure from Cam Bancroft failures.

The redbacks bowling falling off the cliff it has fallen off is a bit surprising

It is, but tbh there were signs of this lack of penetration at times last season, but that was somewhat papered over by Wes Agar having such a breakout season. With him finding things much tougher this time around the problems become so much worse. Chaddy keeps on chugging along but there is only so much he can do without support, Worrall looks undercooked coming back off a lot of injuries, and Pope is just in struggletown with no form and no confidence. Joe Mennie a fair loss, but he didn't exactly set the world on fire last season himself.

Give my boi Tim Oakley a game I say, took a hatty on the weekend too

 

[Spikey]

Lol where is Joe Mennie anyway

 

[GoodAreasShane]

On Mennie "personal reasons" was the exlaination provided by the SACAs

Don't want to stray outside my lane

 

[TheJediBrah]

Wasn't he moving overseas or did I dream that

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Was/is in England for a while.

Also, I wonder if CA will be happy with that Poewrade esky being prominently on view outside the WA when Gatorade are an official sponsor

 

[Gnske]

Nick Larkin is unironically a better batsman than Kurtis Patterson.

Disagreement with this would be like saying Biden is a hologram on the verge of death.

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Mackin still looks a bit... yippish

 

[stephen]

Is Bartlett injured or did Doggett jump ahead in the queue?

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Is Bartlett injured or did Doggett jump ahead in the queue?

Tend to think it is a workload management thing for Bartlett, but I'm not sure. Doggett wasn't even in the original squad, good seeing him back but I kinda hoped they would go with Blake Edwards tbh, definitely rate him


This Shaun Marsh kid is going well

 

[stephen]

Young Shaun Marsh having a retired Pontingesque season so far.

 

[Spikey]

great, nick larkin survives another 3 seasons
