Outgrounds?

 

[NUFAN]

Seems a bit high.

You think?

Friday Night day night matches definitely boost the averages. I've been to a few games at the GABBA where the crowd gets to about 10 to 12K, atmosphere is pretty good really, as one half of the stadium is closed off.

 

[NUFAN]

Do you ever use outgrounds in Oz?

Yeah we do, I just looked up the major Test grounds..

NSW tend to share the games around the state a bit more.
They've played at North Sydney Oval, Newcastle, Canberra [I think].

Victoria played at Punt Road, an old AFL ground during MCG reconstruction.

Adelaide and Perth tend to play at the test grounds.

Remember my hometown, Bankstown.

Home of the greatest player ever Mark Waugh.

Victoria played at Junction Oval, not Punt Road. Played at Punt Road about 10 years ago, when the G wasn't available due to international games.

Oh yeah my bad, I really shouldn't post stuff on here while busy at work..

 

[vic_orthdox]

Victoria also play one OD game per year in the country.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

NSW play one game each year in Wollongong as well, at North Dalton Park. Though, last years was rained out and this years has been cancelled I think.

 

[chaminda_00]

Does anyone want to have a crack at likely lineups for the start of the season?
The lineups will be without our Test squad, but should feature ODI players.

Don't think we have 11 contracted players that aren't Test or ODI players. We will still win the comp, well atleast one.

Replaced with Roher, about the same really. Henry a chance I guess as well.

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Would take a hungy on Hodge. Good odds for mine.

 

[andyc]

Would take a hungy on Hodge. Good odds for mine.

Yeah, would go Hussey but he'll probably be off playing at least one-dayers every now and then, but it'll be a while before Hodge gets back in the Aussie team. Hodge or Rogers probably.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Yeah, would go Hussey but he'll probably be off playing at least one-dayers every now and then, but it'll be a while before Hodge gets back in the Aussie team. Hodge or Rogers probably.

Yeah those were my exact thoughts. Hussey will spend some time with Aus whereas I think Hodge's time is gone.

 

[Mr Casson]

No one thinks Hughes is a dollar or two high? I'd let you both bash away at Hodgepodge and Hussey fwiw.

 

[pup11]

Yeah, would go Hussey but he'll probably be off playing at least one-dayers every now and then, but it'll be a while before Hodge gets back in the Aussie team. Hodge or Rogers probably.

Aussies don't play any more Odi' this year so Hussey should be available for most of this season and with the kind of form Huss is in atm, i would back him to score heavily again this season.
