**Official** Australian Domestic Season 2013/14

[Riggins]

Nah n00fers is spot on.

 

[TheJediBrah]

So much batting to come though. It's hard to see them getting bowled out and they will need all they get from here.

 

[The Battlers Prince]

looking better than when he first came in. Just got a bunch of runs for Central QLD too so he's spending a bit of time in the middle lately

 

[Maximas]

yeah, nuffers got me there, but I'd hate to be the guy who hits a few boundaries, sees his partner go and then has to change tac

 

[Riggins]

why?

 

[TheJediBrah]

Starting to understand why Chris Hartley doesn't have a One-Day hundred. 50 overs is just not enough time.

 

[Maximas]

why?

because you just want to keep going when you start, and it's hard to change gears at will from my experience, especially on this pitch.

 

[Tangles]

Some batsmen can't bat different tempos.

 

[Maximas]

Starting to understand why Chris Hartley doesn't have a One-Day hundred. 50 overs is just not enough time.

Worth remembering that not all OD pitches are this hard to score on

 

[The Battlers Prince]

Can't remember what Hartley was on when Reardo came out, but he's gonne overtake him soon

 

[TheJediBrah]

Worth remembering that not all OD pitches are this hard to score on

Worth mentioning intended as a joke

 

[The Battlers Prince]

You're right, can't change gears some people

 

[Maximas]

Hartley was only on about 20 iirc

 

[The Battlers Prince]

Hartley was only on about 20 iirc

doesn't really matter anymore

 

[Burgey]

Well they can't both get out from the same ball. Both go for it, when someone gets out the other batsman can change tactic if necessary.

Once Locomotiv's innovative changes to the game come into effect, the double play will be a real risk for any batting side.

 

[NUFAN]

So in this situation would you tell Reardon to bat more carefully? With 39 balls remaining and Cutting, Hauritz, Neser still to come Reardon should still go for it.

 

[The Battlers Prince]

Yeah Reardon keeps batting his style, he slows down and the Bulls get nowhere then

 

[NUFAN]

Once Locomotiv's innovative changes to the game come into effect, the double play will be a real risk for any batting side.

It would be spectacular and make the game faster which is exactly what all fans want to see. Reminds me of this time when I was playing Welsh Baseball..

 

[Maximas]

He needs to stay in until Hopes has faced about 5-8 balls, as long as he doesn't get out when Hopes is still getting his eye in and can't go straight away. Should look for two's and 4s without taking too much risk

 

[TheJediBrah]

Queensland are missing a trick here, being too cautious. They'll end up 5/190 with plenty of batsmen unused.
