There isn't one. There is, however, a memorandum of understanding between the state sides that no more than one international player will be used.

And for all of you punters, I've put up some exotic stuff at work if you feel like a bet. Only place in the universe you can get this kind of stuff atm.

Sorry you've probably explained this previously but what is the go with this. Is that where you work or have you created it?

No Mosies pretty pissed, though I think he is injuried though. Hopefully Bird is 12th man, would rather even Lambert ahead of him. Hopefully Thornley grows some balls and bats up the order and doesn't leave it to even less mediocre batsmen like Lambert or Smith.

Yeah the side looks like it needs one extra batsmen, Thornley could and should bat in the top 4.
Where is Usman Khawaja, must have been close to getting selected same too Ed Cowan who has looked OK in a few games.

Really hope Bird doesn't make the eleven. Can't believe he's still in the mix.

I've heard he's a bit of a ****, but he's regarded as a pretty talented bloke tbh. Did he do your misses or have you just seen him playing **** regularly?

Nah we had to bring in two Victorians just in case he got injuried or score no runs like we all know he will.
Would have though Khawaja would have played ahead of Forrest. A lot more suited to ODs and can play as opener. Though Forrest can open as well if required.
Cowan fallen down the pecking order after a string a poor matches last season.
There not reall anyone else as ****ley and Coyte are as crap. Hazlewood not ready yet. Needs atleast a couple 2nd XI matches first.

Yeah, ****ley has accuracy problems and a reputation for bowling short constantly. I think I've only seen him bowl one ball in my entire life though so I'm not going to crucify him. Coyte > Bird IMHO. Picking another batsman and making Thornely or Smith bowl 10 overs > Bird as well. I'd seriously have preferred it if we kept Dan Christian in NSW and gave him ten overs than use Bird; at least he'd strengthen the lower order batting...

Coyte, ****ley and Bird are all pretty much all the same. They bowl fast, but can't get more then two bowls a spell on the stumps. It just we probably have seen more of Bird's direness compared to the other two.
With Cameron, Bracken, Lambert, Smith, O'Keefe and Hauritz you got 50 overs easy and Thornley if required. With the amount of all rounders in that side, it seems a tad pointless to play a weaklink as an extra seamer. Though I would be surprised if Bird doesn't play.
It will be toss up between Smith, O'Keefe and Lambert for 2nd all rounders spot. O'Keefe likely to be 12th man as he probably the weakest with bat and bowl out of those three.

Side-strain, 6 weeks, I read somewhere not that long ago.

Last season Hauritz was bowling fairly dire, and was going for a fair few runs in the Ford Ranger Cup. I didn't see him bowl much, mainly highlights, where he was being ripped to pieces by the oppositions batsmen. Is this correct?
