6/32 James Pattinson vs Queensland 12th October 2012 - YouTube

Length seemed from this a bit short, at least compared to what was so successful against NZ and India last summer. Maybe it was just the perfect length for this pitch, but I do wonder if it will be as effective against South Africa in a few weeks time.

Forrest is sorta like Marsh all over again. Except the highs weren't as high and the lows not as low.

Going through the posts I missed

I used to be a very proud member of the Scott Coyte Hate Club but I really do think he's improved his bowling quite a bit over the 18 months or so, so I don't mind if he ends up back in the setup really. I think I'd prefer him playing Shield cricket to Abbott at this point.

totally agree. scott coyte's return last season was basically our only feel good story for the season. i mean, i legitimately had faith in him in those shield matches at the end of last season. i was pretty surprised he didn't get offered a contract really.

I think so. Just found it crazy that (Marsh)'s got the 9th best average in the team.

(and other Marsh batting posts)

I've got Mitch Marsh marked down as a future Tom Cooper/Luke Butterworth. Basically all his good batting performances have come against nsw/sydney sixers. ****er

Also if George and Richardson aren't injured, it was a poor call to drop them.

Quite like the move to drop George. Dude doesn't take wickets outside of Hobart

Aside from that one time against NSW. ****er.

Didn't watch any of today, so how is Lyon bowling?

it hasn't been easy for lyon. when he plays for sa, he doesn't get to bowl against 8-11

i kid i kid

Him or Handscomb as a bat, Finch had a nightmare of a year last year. Was cultivating a decent record before that, and has reportedly been the standout in the preseason matches this season.

More my point being Hastings at 7 is a spot too high, to fit in all five bowlers (Hasto, McKay, Sids, Patto, Holland).

He def should have played in hindsight, but the seamers were all playing and Holland, on the back of actually performing decently those couple of times last season, has a secure spot for the next 4 seasons. so.

on a related note, lol @ lynn. what a fall from grace.

i'm disappointed i didn't find a 'why the long face' crack in that post

Not the best of first matches for Johan Botha. Got a miracle job to do in Adeliade it seems.

Lynn is a problem, he was earmarked for sure, but looked worse than Cooper and Ferguson, but at least they still get picked. We don't even have one young batsman in shield cricket who has even established himself at that level. Imagine if Mussey or Clarke miss a test, we have zero options. Scary. Especially if Haddin is the best option as a batsman.

Pattinson bowling with some serious heat in that video.

 

[Noble One]

His bowling action is looking extra smooth. It's going to be a tough 18 months on his body.

 

[uvelocity]

better off picking an old bloke robe if it's a one off. like rogers or something

Not exactly young, but surely George Bailey would come in for Muss or Clarke!

Just having a look of the batsman who played for Australia A recently and although early doors, the stats don't look that impressive at all..

Davis 97 @ 24.25
Cowan 60 @ 20.00
Klinger 7 @ 3.50
Forrest 51 @ 12.75
Paine 63 @ 31.50
Burns 76 @ 19.00
Cooper 30 @ 7.50
Hughes 218 @ 54.50

[Midwinter]

Whose helmet is he wearing ?

 

[Riggins]

edit- 38. if you're ever gonna expect to chase down 390 it'd be when someone like that comes back in.

presumably nsw. that he feels the need to cover up the nsw shield but not the ca logo says a lot about the man. hopefully someone from north sydney hit him with a pad.

 

[Prince EWS]

Haha he got out to the brother of a permanently banned CricketWeb member. Nice.
