2025–26 Australian Domestic Season

[GoodAreasShane]

Guthrie bowls slow left arm pies. The Aussie version of David Willey. Would probably do well in County

I wouldn't exactly call Guthrie slow, especially not by county standards.

I wouldn't call him particularly good either, but that's neither here nor there

Liam Guthrie has been playing as a domestic player for Northants. Not that he was playing State cricket in Aus as far as I can see.

Did play a bit first for WA and then for Queensland, was never a super regular though.

99% sure he's living over there full time now. No idea on Whiteman, but I know Lehmann is still going to be Adelaide based outside the county season and will likely play on for South Australia, albeit as a notional "overseas" player

That's absolutely stupid. I can't really see any upside at all other than cost.

 

[Spikey]

the upside is right there: less tasmanians

Anlezark looking like he's getting it through at a good clip here. Few loose ones, but this does look pretty sharp

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Decent snare that tstl

Hard to believe given the unbridled success he's delivered.

Makes sense. Just 2 domestic titles since 17/18 season.

Interested to see how Joel Davies does in the shield

I see normal shield batting service has resumed. NSW and Qld both 5 or more down for less than 150.

Weak Queenslanders getting out to Moody

Interested to see how Joel Davies does in the shield

So long as he's less disappointing than his brother.

 

[morgieb]

David Moody taking 3/24…think that’s almost grounds for expulsion from the Shield.

Planning to go to the MCG on Sunday. Could be the second time in the last 6 weeks I've had to cancel a planned a trip to the cricket in Melbourne if the game is done

Victoria are currently 5-11 so definitely not looking good. Might not make it to Saturday.

 

[Starfighter]

WTF is going on at the MCG?

 

[cascade]

Dock Victoria points for continuing to serve up these pitches

 

[the big bambino]

Would really hate to debut young batsman in test cricket too early in case the experience ruins them. Much better to give them a few seasons in the shield to develop their game.

Assuming they don't get busted back to grade after being owned by shield journeymen like Gannon on **** heap pitches of course.

 

[Gnske]

Imagine getting carted at 6.3 RPO in this batsman's hell of a competition

Impressive from Doggett

 

[Qlder]

Seems MCG Curator didnt learn anything from Boxing Day Test
