Australian Domestic Season 2019/20

[aussie tragic]

Prediction: Pucovski to open for the Vics, which he will then do in the Shield next month.

So Bancroft and Handscomb are keeping this game. I guess this is why Carey is so far ahead of the rest as they're not real keepers.

 

[GoodAreasShane]

WA win the toss and bat, Short and Philippe (who will indeed keep wicket) opening up. The other Short opening for Victoria isn't what I expected. No Tremain seems a bit surprising too

Hyped for this to start

 

[aussie tragic]

Cricinfo behind you GAS as still has Bancroft as keeper

 

[GoodAreasShane]

WACA Twitter account says otherwise, going off that myself

 

[aussie tragic]

Wow, D'Arcy Short last 9 games, 526 runs @ 87.66 with SR 135.91

That WA squad is stacked. Only 3 players have never played for Australia and I'd be pretty confident that Green and Phillippe do eventually.

Wacas have an all-star lineup and should win. Not saying they will.

Short Phillipe Marsh Bancroft Turner Stoinis Agar Coulter-Nile Richardson Kelly Tye.

Cartwright and Green miss out for me. Green vs. Kelly was tough. Maybe Agar was lucky too since Turner and Short can bowl some spin.

Yep. The XI I would have picked. Im on the WACAs today

I think they've got a bit bowler heavy in general given Short, Turner and Stoinis are in the top six. I probably wouldn't have picked an extra specialist bat but extending the batting by getting Green in for Kelly or Tye would've been my call.

Didn't exactly expect to see Holland so early, don't mind the move though

Its a tough one, Green has big upside but im a fan of Kelly. No way Tye wasnt playing IMO.

Maxwell opening the bowling, lolz.

Yeah he's probably the last bowler Philippe wanted to see and he's teeing off, so good call I think. It probably wasn't exactly Plan A before the game started either.

 

[aussie tragic]

Can't see but Phillippe outscoring D'Arcy Short 3:1 seems pretty special

 

[NUFAN]

Sort of a perfect opening partnership as Short regularly takes a while to get going.

Excellent foundation, Phillipe savage against Sutherland so far.

 

[NUFAN]

Short gets Short.

 

[aussie tragic]

Phillipe is only 22 and now has 4th 50 in 7 List A games...how's his keeping? Can he push Carey for the World T20 gig?

Why not have both? Philippe is definitely the one player who is yet to represent Australia that id most like to see. Definitely just white ball cricket for now.

 

[GoodAreasShane]

He's gone now. Trying to pull one that didn't really get up off Boland. Good knock though

 

[aussie tragic]

Checked the cricinfo scorecard, first reaction is the 'australia has beens' are batting, not that Bancroft or Smarsh ever made it big to earn the has been title lol

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Turner looking pretty comfortable out at the crease early. With Bancroft a bit patchy that is what WA need

EDIT: now he's starting to find his timing. Pitch has plenty of runs in it
