*Official* Warm up Matches Discussion

[andyc]

Doran in, Swann with the first three to fall. Keen to have a look at the kid.

Edit: Off the mark somewhat unconvincingly. Looking a bit nervy but that's to be expected, especially with five or so men around the bat.

 

[Spikey]

Over 39.4: Panesar to Doran, FOUR, short, pulls it away out through mid wicket

Can confirm it was crisp

 

[Spikey]

hey pews turner is batting

 

[Spikey]

Number of comparisons made between Bradman and Doran in the commentary so far: One

 

[Spikey]

and then turner almost got run out (turner cut it to gully, Can Berry saved it, Turner run anyway)

Doran/Turner have faced almost entirely spin so far. Most of the stuff being played on the backfoot.

 

[Spikey]

Doran is out. Go home everyone

 

[Spark]

so uh that "go after swann" plan not quite working hey

 

[Viscount Tom]

I've said it before but i really need a detailed explanation of this gag.

PEWS is a fan of youth.

 

[harsh.ag]

Just ditch the third pacer, England, and play Panesar. So much more fun.

 

[Spikey]

new ball taken, seamers smashed

 

[Pothas]

Heard nothing but Stokes hype from some on the radio in the last couple of days. Simon Hughes just now saying he had advanced his case. He is that most temping of cricketers, the genuine all rounder but he has not actually done anything yet. Just look at this game a 20 and no wickets.

 

[Daemon]

If an all rounder can't get into your first XI purely as a batsmen or a bowler he's pretty much doomed to mediocrity. Exceptions are few and far between. #wisewordsofdaemon

Good to see Finn and Rankin forwarding their respective cases for the 4th bowler spot...

Myth.

 

[Pothas]

The get in the side as a batsman AND a bowler certainly is, but one or the other pretty much holds true.

 

[Daemon]

Myth.

Names of non mediocre all rounders that weren't good enough to make the team based just on either aspect?

Genuine question ftr.

 

[benchmark00]

Ground announcer stood down in Alice

 

[fredfertang]

At least he didn't make any pissing on the umpires comments

 

[vic_orthdox]

Just noticed Jayde Herrick is playing this game, his first of the season. Has he been injured or just not been picked for the Bushrangers? If it's the latter that seems odd given he was starting to be talked up a season or two ago.

As Spikey alluded to earlier, got injured last season, and then had an issue at the beginning of this season; been bowling since about mid-October.

Onions must've keyed Dusty's car or something.

Unless he actually loses a leg I think Bres is nailed on for Adelaide.

Unless the selectors get funkeh and play Stokes and Monty in a five man attack. Which sounds so insane we'll probably do it.
