Yeah definately. The one day team was fine, but the four-day game was a disaster. Harris was such a let down - him firing with Feldman and Swan would have been fine.

Compounding a **** day of cricket:

Walter and Broad really lucky to keep their spots, but there just wasn't much else on offer. Jonathan Wells was cut by Tasmania before last season, tried his luck in Victoria and didn't get picked and now gets a look in here on the back of some good second team form. He's a young opening bat. Archie Atkins earns a spot of Glen the Bat and is also a right handed opening bat. Grant Sullivan, meanwhile, has ten FC games for Queensland with 16 wickets @ 66. He gets another chance, though, by earning his contract through good performances out of the state side.

Luke Feldman is on tour with the national side but made two appearances against Sri Lanka in ODIs in the off-season. He took 2-99 in his 20 overs all told - his first wicket Mahela Jayawardene. On tour in South Africa he made his debut in the third test. Australia lost, but Feldman took 1-15 and 1-11 and was woefully underbowled. He nailed Elgar and Amla.

Not an ideal start to the season with an awful batting display. NSW have a ridiculously good bowling attack and the top order fell apart to 6-67. We did well to make how little we did, and the result was never in doubt. Bowling was disciplined and kept them away from the BP.

The scorecard doesn't look great but it wasn't a bad performance. Khawaja batted very well and the only time we lost our **** was against Warner. I think I'll phase Boyce back in considering Sullivan went wicketless (though he bowled OK), because Harris, Swan and Cutting all look in good touch. Townsend and Carseldine batted well (Carseldine was dropped in the sixties) while Wells had a good debut. A better start than last year.

Top drawer victory here against a pretty good lineup. Rogers basically crushed Victoria's chances with an awful opening knock, and we were all over them from there. Towsend and Atkins added 146 for the opening wicket - Townsend is so good and Atkins looks the goods. We needed 12 off the 40th over to get the bonus point and made it off the last ball.

Ugh, same old same old. We ****ing had them at 3-41 until White and Wade added 218 and we just couldn't get quick wickets. Then we came out and slumped to 5-28 off about as many overs before the lower order gave us a little bit. 2nd innings carried by Reardon batting awesome and Floros showing he has balls the size of fists but it was never enough. Fragile top order and bad bowling a real problem for me. Will consider moving either Floros or Hopes up the order a bit.

Elsewhere, Steve Smith made a handy 242 for NSW as they beat WA.

We're starting to put together quite a nice little batting lineup here. Even better is the fact none are really in national team contention. It will be tested with the loss of Lee Carseldine, though, with a broken arm for three weeks. The bowling is still a worry because we seem to let a batsman go nuts after taking wickets. It is annoying, but it is an improvement from 2010-11.

Btw, Floros is so cool. Two big tons from seven in dire situations. Love the guy.

Feldman misses out due to fitness and poor form, but he's an Australian national player so he's not been dropped he's been 'rested'. Philipson was dynamite last season, but can't buy a run at the moment and needs to quickly.

FMD Townsend is a jet. That 92 included 15 fours and three sixes - so 78/92 in boundaries. The bowling was great, the batting was good despite a brief collapse. Should be noted that SA are the direst ****s, and sit 1-6 in the RC.

For the record, there's not a lot else Townsend can do. His List A average is 64.45, and his record this year is 381 @ 95.25 with a SR of 88.38!

I missed both the 4fers he's taken recently when scrolling through the first time tbf. So had assumed he'd taken about 8 wickets :p

Ringing in the changes here. Hartley's form has been really scratchy and although Dunk isn't very good I need Hartley finding form. Atkins comes in for Carseldine to make his Shield debut in the middle order, while Simpson comes in for his first Shield match since 2009-10 to bolster the batting. He's got to be one of the worst spinners in FC cricket with an average of 64 after 50 first class matches.

**** me dead.

It seems every game one batsman has to fill their boots against me. Blizzard's 351 for the match sees his average jump like ten, and we were not a shot. Bowling was diabolic to him (Simpson FFS). Truly flat Adelaide wicket right throughout the match, but Atkins a shining light on Shield debut with a couple of great knocks. We were trying to save the match, and the **** hits three sixes in the second innings!
