he's unstoppable

[Eloquentia]

do you play in the same team as mennie, eloq?

No, not the same team. I'm at the same club but we have heaps of teams! He's well above I, clearly!

It was just one game by George. I don't see the connection between being out of touch for one game at SA and that continuing to occur the next week in Tas.

SA haven't won a game in yonks and have picked 6 bowlers, I just think one of them had to be George - he has played for Australia, the 3 main quicks are all inexperienced and its at a ground where he's been successful. Reckon the upside of George potentially ripping through the Tassie lineup was worth a gamble.

As much as that whole last paragraph makes perfect sense (dropping Worrall for George probably should have happened) he's been bowling such piss that he was never going to do that. I'll concede that figureswise he had two good A grade games in early October but from what I've heard - he wasn't bowling well there either and all has net bowling has been tripe.

Regarding your first point - he wasn't out of touch for just one game. He missed the opening shield games too as he was bowling so poorly in the pre-season. It's been a recent continuing issue for him - which continued into the shield game. So yeah, it's pretty likely that if you bowl pies for 3 months, you'll probably continue to bowl them for 3 months and a week.

Where are people watching the RSA/AA game, may I ask?

maddinson realised he was actually performing and so got out. he's consistent, gotta give him that.

Fair enough mate. Obviously I didn't watch any of his club games or net bowling, saw he did well in the Futures game before making the Shield team though.

@Spikey Crosthwaite was always going to have issues claiming bounced caught behinds in domestic finals because he's a cheating Victorian ****. It's not technique, it's his DNA.

Career best stuff from White



several hours late but w/ever

[Spikey]

ok nev, we need some runs. i suggest you change down the wicket and look to slap it over cover

- Rad Haddin

[Spikey]

nev looks to smash it over to the leg side instead. gets out. should have listened to rad haddin

[Prince EWS]

Seriously why is Henry still playing ahead Rohrer even when we have three openers chilling in the middle order now? Really starting to piss me off.

And yeah six bowlers again; **** that **** off please.

[TT Boy]

cummins is dead again. see ya next season.

Beats a South African side, breaks down and is out for a year, beats a South African side, breaks down and is out for a year. Better hope next year’s Champions League is not in the Republic or his KFC team doesn’t qualify.

dawson ahead of him too

And yeah six bowlers again; **** that **** off please.

we all knew that was happening. at least this time we're actually playing 4 good seamers. at least until abbott drops by

[NUFAN]

NSW all out for 184, brilliant work by the QLD quicks.

Actually quite an interesting day's play across the venues, so hard to keep up with it all - SA are in with a big chance.

[Burgey]

Dougeh!!!!!

Dougeh.

[Spikey]

Cummins injury paves the way for a Dougeh, Starceh and Hazey revolution, which frankly deeply arouses me. Once we sort out the Victorians anyway
