And I highly recommend it if you're ever passing through Scandinavia.
I just looked at the scorecard on cricinfo and saw 2/0 and **** myself. wtf cricinfo, why are they using that **** display style.
Looks a good day for the Speed Blitzers.

Yeah maybe next time I'm in the vacinity.
Nev gone and my tip for the leading runscorer for the year Nic Maddinson out for a peking.
It should be noted that last year I tipped Lynn for leading runs and Ryan Duffield most wickets, so I'm very sorry Maddinson and Coulter-Nile.

Spose back in 48' you said Bradman was ****.
Clarke really is an excellent bat these days. I wonder if he'll ever get his first class average up to the 50 mark.
This partnership looks like its going to put NSW into the box seat after being an ordinary 5/128 earlier.
Sorry Riggins I can't record it.

Always such a meh retirement when a retired Test star who came back to play T20 retires.
QLD will open with James Hopes and he'll most likely bat with a make-shift opener like Lynn, Burns or Pomersbach when Watto is not available.
Hartley could open, Hauritz a smokey.

It probably won't surprise you that I'm more shocked that he did well in Sri Lanka and not at all surprised that he has reverted to type since.
I'm also surprised people were rating WA as a good side. Bunch of burglars. Great to see this NSW side seems determined not to make them look better than they are this time round.
So happy to see Copes back amongst the wickets. Had a miserable time of it last year, but if he's got back that knack of taking wickets then that will be a huge plus for the Bluebaggers.

Almost feel as though I have to say I was wrong on all 3 counts there but I wont.
Yeah I was wrong on Marsh, I didn't expect him to be a Test sensation, but no way did I expect him to spectacularly fail even close to how he did.
I like WA's attack, mainly due to NCN. I still think they are a good team and I wouldn't write them off this early. It would be awesome to see them give Will Bosisto a game, would love to see him in first class cricket after looking so composed in the Under 19 Cup - big step up tho obviously.
Good on Copeland. He is a handy player to have in your state ranks when Starc and Cummins are playing for Australia.

Yeah I pretty much agree with this. NCN is quality, SkyRim is a tough competitor, Mitch Marsh is coming on well as a fourth quick, and Johnson will take wickets at this level (but hopefully not too many). With Hogan and Behrendorf in reserve the WA attack is up there with best in the Shield. Beer however is a drink you enjoy after a hard day in the field. Take out 1 innings where NSW suicided against him and he's never made a real contribution. They wouldn't lose anything just making North carry the off-spin duties and playing another bat.
Davis had an excellent season last year, but he has to now back that up. Harris could become a very good player, but he's young. A lot like Maddinson really - looks class when he makes runs, but still getting out cheaply too often. Hopefully it will come together for him, but could be a few years away yet. Marsh is a fraud, and his little brother has shown glimpses with the bat, but far too few to bet your life on. Only North and Voges are really solid bats.
They won't come last, but I don't see WA being a real threat in the Shield this season.
For that reason giving Bosisto or the other young talents they have a run in the odd game won't hurt them at all I reckon. As you say he looked like he had his head well screwed on in the U/19s WC. In four or five years time they could have a super side if these young guys kick on and I'd much rather see those kids getting a good taste of FC cricket to harden them up as they are doing with M Marsh and Harris.
