Another failure for Tim Ward. Burgey Pty Ltd plumetting.
Well they got them 8 down, so probably didn't need to worry too much about the declaration.Does seem a bit odd. Maybe WA feel they don't really need to push for an outright win with how far they are ahead on the ladder and would rather give someone like Hardie more time at the crease? Honestly I am not sure
Should move back to Sydney. Tassie is just a **** place to bat (and live).Another failure for Tim Ward. Burgey Pty Ltd plumetting.
David chose his path some time ago & hasn’t had any interest in red ball for yearsWhen exactly was this time when Paine was considered the only option? It certainly wasn't when he got picked before the 2017-18 Ashes, that one came so far out of left field that many (myself included) didn't entirely initially believe it when the rumours of that first popped up. Agree completely on Pierson though, he has developed into a quality cricketer.
Pretty much Tim David logic, players seeking opportunities in different and obscure places to grow their game is something I believe cricket will be seeing more and more of
Would rather Johnson didn't go if I'm honest though, would absolutely hate it if he picked up an injury over there
I watched him recently and he still has the same faultsWell they got them 8 down, so probably didn't need to worry too much about the declaration.
Bancroft has been in really impressive form recently. I still don't have that much faith in him as a Test cricketer, but I actually wouldn't mind him getting a second chance. He has struggled against England but his record against South Africa was actually pretty good, so I wonder how he'd go against someone else.
Selectors would probably still leave him out, lol.Should move back to Sydney. Tassie is just a **** place to bat (and live).
remember when he randomly got a re-call, I think ahead of that shield final actually, and took a 6fer in a OD game against TassieHaha I did love the fact that he could somehow bowl absolute gas off like three paces. Would've been an ATG indoor player.
Last List A game he ever playedremember when he randomly got a re-call, I think ahead of that shield final actually, and took a 6fer in a OD game against Tassie
Why did he randomly bowl 12.5 overs that match?Last List A game he ever played
So the bash boost crap was just part and parcel for CA?it was a brief and wonderful moment in time when CA allowed one bowler to bowl more than 10 overs in a game. CA then went back to being boring losers with the same lame ass "no bowler can bowl more than 20% of the total amount of overs in the innings" rule that ruins white ball cricket for all of us.
DWTAThat QLD v NSW game wasn't half bad honestly
I absolutely love seeing a different state being a bit of a joke for onceDWTA
one thing we can do is stop letting good talent go to other states and thrive - give them a chance here ffs. Imagine how much better the side would be with Hunt, Ward and Manenti in it?I absolutely love seeing a different state being a bit of a joke for once
Seriously though, not sure where NSW go to from here? Just simply haven't made anywhere near enough runs. Nikitaras and Gilkes averaging low 20s for the year, Sangha only marginally better, even more senior players like Hughes and Patterson have only really made Shield runs a couple of times this season with not much in between. That isn't going to win many games of cricket
The bowling has largely decent for the most part, not entirely without fault but far less of an issue than the top and middle order being far too often devoid of runs
the irony is that NSW should actually try to recruit players from other statesone thing we can do is stop letting good talent go to other states and thrive - give them a chance here ffs. Imagine how much better the side would be with Hunt, Ward and Manenti in it?
i mean CA has a long history of trying out stuff in the domestic comps. The free hit started here iirc (english domestic cricket at a similar time brought in the "two runs for a no-ball" rule which I think is still a part of their domestic comps.). Maybe the powerplay too.So the bash boost crap was just part and parcel for CA?
Yeah there's a whole perception of "she'll be right" when it comes to talent coming through. And generally talent isn't too far away. But when you haven't won a game for 12 months and the last genuinely good player to make his debut for NSW was.....Daniel Hughes?, it's a problem.the irony is that NSW should actually try to recruit players from other states
11 years later and Sarah Coyte has just defended 4 runs from the last over by taking 3 wickets and a run-out lmao.remember when he randomly got a re-call, I think ahead of that shield final actually, and took a 6fer in a OD game against Tassie
