Australian Domestic Season 2016/17

The Burgey curse lives on.

That Crane selection is amazing stuff. Especially from NSW, usually so keen to promote their own youth. Obviously Nair and Green are both spinning it the same way as Somerville - I wonder if Green might have been selected if he hadn't have been playing in the PSL.

Yeah great work for Mason to get selected. 3 7fers in a row is epic.

I imagine he will get slapped but great experience nonetheless. Is the track he plays on conducive to turn?

 

[Midwinter]

Last round of Futures league started today

Chris Lynn is back in town 124 off 159 out of 7/263, Preffer 85no

Qld knocked over the Bureaucrats for 67, Doggett 5/12 Neser 4/22

Bluebaggers all out 260, Gibson 80 with the Croweater's Winter continuing his good form 3/44. SA 0/27

Vic vs Tas
Tassie 6/295 with Silk making his highest score for a long time 142no

 

[Gnske]

haha yes Crane's playing lads

 

[social]

So Cummins is due to play his first shield match in nearly 6 years and the rain comes

Guy must have run over a clowder of cats

And yes, I did have to look that up

 

[Burgey]

I dunno how they're playing in Sydney atm. It's pissing down in the CBD, and that's only about 3km from the SCG.

 

[Burgey]

Can report he's still on the field after bowling the first over.

Yep that's my thoughts exactly. Honestly can't fathom how far NSW seems to have moved from the promoting their own policy on this one. Part of me is pleased that the idea of winning comes first but interesting to see what the response will be to this.

 

[Burgey]

Pretty funny he gets to bowl first with a wet ball on a damp outfield.

 

[Gnske]

And in typical Cummins fashion he takes the big wicket of Sam Raphael.

Botha probably regrets not having a hit in the two day grade stuff this season given this selection. He doesn't even count as an overseas player anymore so given they picked Crane they presumably would've had no problem picking Botha if his form demanded it (and I think it would have at various points).

What do Australian selectors do if they have a fit Starc, Hazlewood, Pattinson, Bird and Cummins? 5 genuinely excellent quick bowlers. Poor Sayers

Buy a lottery ticket.

 

[stephen]

Outside of the West Indies in the 1980s I genuinely can't think of a time when any country has so much fast bowling talent.

 

[stephen]

Bailey gone. Tas collapsing.

 

[Spikey]

nsw are gonna miss the final because they inexplicably failed to defeat tasmania two times this season

 

[Burgey]

Copes and Cummins right amongst them here.

Also wishing Mad Dog well on his return. Hope he's put any issues he's had behind him.

 

[Burgey]

Tassie in utter disarray now at 5/48.

 

[stephen]

Geez QLDs bowling attack looks better with Feldman in it. And when it's up against Tasmania.
