Australian Domestic Season 2018/19

[Burgey]

Good to see Lyon taking poles in Perth.

I'm surprised to see SA look like surviving longer than WA given the time difference.

Bluebaggers pulp the sandgropers.

 

[Burgey]

Sabba MOTM. 70 odd in the first dig under pressure and four wickets for the match..

 

[stephen]

This is a pretty decent partnership by Ferguson/Winter.

 

[Burgey]

Rain delay in Hobart. SA a chance of squeezing out a draw.

 

[stephen]

Massive innings by Ferguson here. His international career may never have taken off but this is a great innings in the circumstances.

Already half way through this Sheffield Shield season.

Time flies when everyone except the bowlers suck.

Already half way through this Sheffield Shield season.

Time flies when everyone except the bowlers suck.

Only 5 batsmen have scored over 400 runs - Harris, Wade, Doolan, S Marsh and Cooper. Only 4 batsmen average over 50 - Pukovski (1 match), S Marsh, Harris and Wade.

8 bowlers have 20 or more wickets - Boland, Mennie, Tremain, Richardson, Copeland, Steketee and Bird. A further 5 bowlers are averaging under 25 and have taken 10 wickets or more. Which roughly works out to half the bowlers required for the competition (6 teams times 4 bowlers per team = 24 bowlers).

Truly a great time to be a promising young bat. You can stand out like dogs balls if you put up some good performances.

 

[Burgey]

Jeez, forgot about Pucoski. Any update on his condition and when he might be back?

 

[Gnske]

Well he could be back for the next match. Apparently he played a club t20 a few days ago, so that's promising.

 

[Gnske]

As for the batting issues, it feels like we need to round up all the young batsmen of the country and send them to a camp run by guys who knew how to score runs or aren't Greg Chappell or other similar idiots, and work on some of these major flaws that make it seem like we're at a stage where it's an inverse of the 90s/00s inundation of bats, but with too much bowling talent.

Guys like Jake Lehmann could be doing so much better if they had some common sense beat into their brains.

 

[stephen]

Or if they could just learn to move their feet. I'm looking at you, Travis Head.

 

[Spikey]

NSW probably need C7 to be stripped of the broadcast rights before the next game starts as I don't think they can cope without copers copeland

 

[NUFAN]

There are 10 bats with 300 runs who average over 40 at the halfway point.

S Marsh 443 @ 88.60
M Harris 501 @ 71.57
M Wade 468 @ 66.85
K Patterson 383 @ 47.87
J Burns 380 @ 47.50
A Doolan 453 @ 45.30
P Handscomb 361 @ 45.12
T Cooper 402 @ 44.66
N Larkin 385 @ 42.77
J Lehmann 337 @ 42.12

He's the new Larkin.

I just had a look at the match and the bowler off note Renshaw faced was McDermott. Mighty fine innings to score a triple in a day.

I don't think he's really too out of form right now. He just seems to find ways of getting out at shield level.

 

[GoodAreasShane]

National U19 carnival starts today, Lloyd Pope headlines the SACA squad. Also worth keeping an eye on are Bailey Capel and Henry Dall, a pair of top order bats, Capel is natrually attacking where as Dall is more traditional and stylish. And also Hanno Jacobs, a new ball bowler with decent pace and a nice yorker

 

[GotSpin]

His name is Hanno?
