    2024–25 Australian Domestic Season

    What a bizarre innings. Konstas went out there looking to swing like a rusty gate, got a couple away then completely threw it away just thereafter. Only serves to reinforce my point that the time in the Test team really did him no good whatsoever Maddinson too taking a similar approach so far...

    Zampa is 32 ffs. That's not exactly geriatric, especially for a spinner. If he does get moved on from before the next World Cup I suspect that will be due to someone usurping him as opposed to him being pensioned off People in a general sense are far too quick to start preparing the eulogy for...

    2024–25 Australian Domestic Season

    I think pretty much the exact opposite of this tbqh. The way I see it, older players who have already been few some highs and some lows in their career so are better equipped imo to deal with this sort of thing, where as those who really haven't played very much professional cricket at all will...

    Nah it's more that I really don't think this is good for his longterm development as a player. No doubting that MCG innings definitely had a big impact on the game, but the sheer level of scrutiny that will follow him (and the kneejerk reactions from "fans", both positive and negative) is a...

    Maybe just maybe it might not have been such a brilliant idea to throw a player into Test cricket based of such a small sample size A novel thought, I know

    2024–25 Australian Domestic Season

    Tasmania win a thriller at Bellerive, been a fair few genuinely good games of cricket this Shield season Bizarre thought process from Handscomb in those last couple overs there, must be said. The shots from Sutherland and O'Neill were pretty rancid also

    Handscomb is "a master batter" according to the comms on the TAS v VIC game

    Silk putting down an entirely catchable chance at slip, this sure isn't the BBL anymore Didn't cost Tasmania a thing though, Rogers was gone next ball anyway

    I will not ever hear a bad word about 1995/96 Sheffield Shield final batting hero Peter McIntyre here thank you very much

    Sharp take. Really needed that one

    I genuinely don't think I ever saw him bowl one genuinely good spell in his entire career

    Plunkett was garbage, absolute joke bowler Few things more infuriating than seeing another one of his medium pace half trackers caught on the legside boundary

    Can't even get hyped about the wickets being taken here as I know South Australia will have to bat again on this turnip field of a pitch

    Konstas taking a very different approach to this innings than he did in the Tests he played Neser and Bartlett is a damn good new ball attack tbf, but he's mostly been looking to leave here early doors

    Worth noting that was the first red ball wicket Webster has taken bowling offspin all summer Bowled almost exclusively medium pace this Shield season

    Obviously only very early days yet, but I have been impressed by the way O'Connor has gone about things. Came in at 5 for 127, started off measured but has found another gear as the innings has progressed. Thought he looked alright in the one day game too even though he only made 27 then

    The QLD v NSW one hasn't played too bad, although that may have a bit to do with the NSW attack this game Other two definitely needed another run with the mower though
