And White's bowling has gotten worse every year.

For all this talk about spinners, I'm surprised the best potential spinner in Australia isn't being talked about, Cameron Boyce. If anyone is going taking wickets and win matches at Test level it will be Boyce, the rest are always going to be no more then containing bowlers.

That's not just a wrist spinner is better then finger spinner statement. The kid actually got all variety in the world and can also do a holding job when the pitch is seamers paradise like 2nd track in Shield cricket.

People talk about how good Queensland pace attack was and runs from their middle order. But his role in the side has as much to do with their success as anything.

On boyce seems like a 2nd innings specialist,Hauritz bowled the lions share of overs today,without little reward.

Hope Poontang can keep up this good form for SA...looking promising so far.

 

[Riggins]

you would think after 20 years they could actually get a photo of the guy



edit- well i cant get the picture to work, but the CA site has a picture of doolan instead of ponting.

KL says Marsh brothers rumoured to be out of tonight's Scorchers clash due to an off field issue. More to come #6pr

well that seems about right

(figured given their history we'd discuss it here rather than champs league thread)

 

[Riggins]

too many keith bourbons my guess.

 

[Spikey]

the very believable marcus north is assuring us they're just been rested.

 

[Riggins]

north just as bad as smarsh and pomers afaik. had a mammoth session with north and ronchi before one of their state games last year. then they both made hundreds.

Evidence some reporters just don't bother watching the day's play in any great detail;

Ferguson ton fires up Redbacks

Queensland speedster Ben Cutting was the pick of the bowlers for the Bulls with 2-46 followed by his captain James Hopes who took 2-52 after a solid early spell.

Cutting the pick? Solid early spell? More like a marathon after beating the bat a zillion times. This amongst a roaring cavalcade of sports cliches.

Someone got paid to write this.

LOL at the above comment, obv didnt watch the days play at all. Hopes had them in all sorts, Cutting was hopeless.

I figure most of you have made the connection between the Marsh boys rested and this article.

 

[Spark]

I think the Marshes are taking the whole 'batting stoned' thing a bit too seriously

 

[Prince EWS]

I always said Shaun Marsh looked completely stoned when he went out to bat sometimes. This is almost as great as the Rauf thing.

 

[Spikey]

I just remembered I meant to post a joke the other day about how Shuan Marsh has responded to his dropping by smoking a whole lotta dope

 

[vic_orthdox]

...but it's coke?

 

[Spikey]

well yeah maybe pews and i got it wrong and marsh was doing coke, not smoking dope, during the india series

 

[Prince EWS]

...but it's coke?

I didn't actually read the article before posting itbt. Still claiming it though.

Hoping against hope that CalFerg and Ludeman score big today. A good total at home would be a brilliant change.
