***Official*** Australian Domestic Season 2010/11

Yeah it's rubbish that Lynn couldn't make the squad. Amazing how well looked after Mitch Marsh is. It's not as though Lynn got out for 101, he's made a big 140* to save a match and a score of 172. He should be there.

Interesting to see 4 spinners, plus Steve Smith were chosen. Lyon has made a quick rise.

That is rubbish. Maddinson etc dont have anywhere near the form of Lynn. Seriously, this is garbage selection.

How does Mitch Marsh make the squad and Lynn doesn't? Very weird.

Disappointing that Josh Hazlewood got misdiagnosed and isn't available for this tour. If Clint McKay was fit, I wonder if he would have made it because I think he is dropping down the list.

Quite interseting that players like Xavier Doherty and Jason Krejza weren't taken considering the fact that they have taken 4 spinners. Lots of questions to be answered because where does Hauritz stand and is Beer the best test spin-bowler for Australia after coming from nowhere and playing the last test match. The selectors have been poor where spin selection has been concerned.

Also quite surprised John Hastings and Daniel Chrisitan didn't make it if they are on the edge of the Australia squad in ODI cricket and in Hastings case in it, but hasn't exactly cemented a spot. Because a lot of the players like Hughes, Warner, Khawaja, S. Marsh, Paine and Ferguson who fall into 'Hasting's' category are there. So Hastings is a short-term selection policy because you cannot say he isn't there because he is in the WC squad because S. Smith, Paine and Ferguson are there as well.

SQUAD break-down:

Batsmen: S. Marsh, Finch, Hughes, Khawaja, Warner, Maddinson, Ferguson, Bailey

Batting all-rounders: M. Marsh, S. Smith

Keepers: Paine, Wade

Spin: Beer, Holland, Lyon, O'Keefe

Fast bowlers: Coulter-Nile, Pattinson, Copeland, Starc, Cummins, George, Faulkner (all-rounder), Butterworth (all-rounder)

The only reason I can come up with for Lynn's omission is that I think he had an injury recently and perhaps is getting some work done on it.


If he's available but not selected then I am completely mystified.

Ah... love the Shield! All of 50 people to watch it too. Televise the season dammit.

Hoping Hilfy can get us off to a good start. :ph34r:

****ing massive game for Cummins to be playing in so early in his career. Going to be a tight final, I reckon.

Nice that Cosgrove gets the chance to win a Shield too. :dry: Interesting that Bailey has sent NSW in. Can't see video, is the pitch that green? I'd have thought if it was anything less than a spitter, Tas would bat first and batbatbatbatbatbatbatbat.

I LOVE WATCHING SHIELD CRICKET!!

Used to be glued to my tv in the 90's when we got so many shield matches live on optus tv, was so bummed in 2002 when they stopped.

Man that was a terrible drop by Bailey, wouldve been outstanding captaincy if he caught it, reminds me of that classic Mark Taylor move in 95 in in the 2nd test at Antigua, moved David Boon into that weird position, Lara hits one straight to him 2 balls later, out for 88.

The Prince. :cool:

Remarkable that someone with the footwork he employs can on drive so well from quicks. Shows what happens when blokes hit form... Those glaring frailties seem to disappear. He looks so solid with his footwork so far (though I didn't see the early stages tbf).

Nah he's been class throughout so far. Didn't play and miss any more than Warner, got beaten by some genuinely good balls.

Rate has slowed a lot since lunch. Some decent bowling going on here. Saw Hilf bowl and inswinger the the right handed that beat Katich.

Might have been handy To have bowled a few sometime between November and January.
