Australian Domestic Season 2019/20

Remember Zampa winning a game off his own blade at North Sydney a few years back, but absolutely I agree Mennie probably should have been at 8

Yeah Zampa is a disappointment. He has shown a gradual decline with the bat, with the red ball and with his haircut.

 

[NUFAN]

He's on the way out, babeh. Bert's on the way up.

I was going to ask you who he reminds you of? I was going to say a more round version of Katich appearance wise and with the bat for some reason im thinking Phil Emery.

I tend to think he was never much chop with the red ball in the first place really. Otherwise spot on

Haha same really. It just fit the rest of the sentence better.

I expected both his batting and bowling to improve and the batting has weakened so he is just a pretty meh cricketer. I dont want him playing an ODI ever again.

 

[GoodAreasShane]

The Queenslanders really don't need to do anything too extravagant here. Just knock it around and keep the scoreboard ticking, all that's really required.

Like Tasmania should have done yesterday

He's got Phil Emery's face, maybe that's why

Valente was born 20 years too late. Would have been the perfect Mercantile Mutual Cup allrounder of the Ian Harvey mould

You could also say the opposite. Ian Harvey was born too early, would have been the perfect franchise T20 merchant.

The freak was obviously better than Valente, but that I see where you are coming from. Backing him for a good BBL this year

Ian Harvey got 7 years of t20 cricket under his belt before he retired. Bit of a pioneer on the English scene in the formats early incarnation

Yeah mostly before it was big money though, and the tail end of his career too, probably past his best. I think he was one of those semi-retired blokes that went and played in the ICL (remember that lol)

 

[Second Spitter]

RIP Adam Zampa's international career.

 

[Burgey]

Joe Burns pushing Bertus for POTS here

 

[GoodAreasShane]

I said Burns in the middle order was a bad idea in this format. Tasting it rn

Good form from you for admitting you are human.

Nah probably give to Lauschagne when he finishes 13th highest run scorer

 

[NUFAN]

Such a generous player comparison for Valente.

Id rather say he is the next Mick Miller or maybe Grant Lambert.

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Lambert was fairly quick on his day though.

Honestly the Harvey v Valente thing wasn't a comparison on talent level, more on style of play. Freak Harvey was genuinely a limited overs beast

Good to see Queensland fly out to an early lead. Having said that, WA and Vic will be the biggest challenges.

Social Jnr has been picked in local team for state champs

Parents have been told to budget a grand for 5 days

Parents are extra

That’s a massive commitment for the average family
