Interesting Ben Laughlin is playing for Tasmania today in the One Dayer today. I thought he was axed and was playing grade cricket in Queensland. South Australia are putting some fight today, Tas 6/153 after 40 overs. Botha has 3 of the wickets

Chances of Phil Hughes receiving an ODI cap this season? Looking set for another decent knock in the format today.

 

[Spikey]

It's a really strange situation. He probably deserves one, but there's that "well maybe just staying away from international cricket/the australian team for awhile is the best thing for him" line (which is obviously something we could debate for days on). Personally, pending injures, I'd like to keep him with SA all season. But that might not be feasible. I'm not sure if we have any ODI's between the ODers here this season and the ICC trophy, and on the test front, I'm not sure if we have to name the Ashes squad before the ICC trophy. So we might have to pick him in the ODers in Feb if he impresses for SA in the shield and we want to test him on the international arena before the Ashes, as well from an ICC trophy POV. so i dunno know really.

Clarke top scored in Wests' T20 game today. who says he can't play T20. He even had a bowl.

Shane Mott performed solidly too. 30* plus 2/9. What BBL teams have spots free? might be worth a shot.

 

[Burgey]

Cosgrove channels Leverock.

 

[Spikey]

game has been stopped while engineers and so forth check the health of the grandstands

 

[Riggins]

Hahaha this is too funny.

 

[Spikey]

The cycle lives on. Christian will be in the selectors good books for the next 3 months. And then he'll be out of them, probably unjustly

 

[Prince EWS]

Crayfish MOTM; loving it.

 

[Top_Cat]

Personally, Hughes playing in the ODI or T20 side is a better way for him back into Test contention than playing for SA all season.

Klinger seems to be in a bit of a trough.

 

[Spikey]

As noted on the last page, that Aus A tour seems to have been a bit of a curse for those involved. except for the prince obvs

 

[brockley]

Tas 2nd xl 382 Wells and Johnston tons,
Shane Watson may play Futures cup for NSW 2nd xl,after he comes home after the first 3 Chamions' league games.

 

[brockley]

George 5 wkts for the junior Redbacks,recall?

 

[morgieb]

George 5 wkts for the junior Redbacks,recall?

That's a big fall

 

[brockley]

Well Futures league have 6 or more players under 23's so kind of the Junior Redbacks.

 

[Spikey]

Shane Mott to replace Josh Lalor in NSW 2nd XI

pretty stock standard 2nd xi team.

 

[brockley]

SA 2nd xl 7/282 Travis Head 64.
Strong NSW 2nd xl squad,is it a Futures game,if not explains the strength of the squad.
Anyone remember Darren Tucker?,was a bit of a 2nd xl hero days gone by.

 

[bondi beach]

Why Mott? What about Bills, Conway or Tremain? Nice to see Rohrer back playing for the Sydney Sixers.

 

[NUFAN]

No idea Bondi Burger, but its nice to see Copeland playing at a level befitting his ability.

Wish there was a Shield match or a few more futures matches on at the moment.

Howard said Holland was retained ahead of the in-form batsman Aaron Finch for Victoria's Shield fixture against Queensland at CA's behest

Not surprising in itself, but probably a new development that they are prepared to be so open about it.

 

[brockley]

Tas 210 Dunk 210* Cazzulino 89,356 lead.

The NSW and Vic 2ND XL game is not a Futures cup game,Shane Watson has been slated to play Canberra Comets in NSW first Futures game.

For selectors on holland,they need a decent look at him moreso for the Ashes,otherwise Glenn Maxwell may play in place of him.
