It actually staggers me that you say this with an actual element of surprise!

I've never lost faith in how bad the Redbacks are.

As usual, the real problem is the batting. Two games at Adelaide Oval and a game at Karen Rolton and none of the top 3, or our number 6 & 7, have scored a half century. Only McSweeney has earned his spot at this stage.

Hunt 88 @ 14 (16 & 2, 26 & 7, 9 & 28)
Smith 101 @ 16 (21 & 4, 11 & 33, 32 & 0)
Drew 82 @ 13 (6 & 1, 29 & 21, 0 & 25)
McSweeney 280 @ 46 (2 & 48, 64 & 100, 41 & 25)
Lehmann 170 @ 28 (115 & 10, 31 & 8, 0 & 6)
Fraser-McGurk 92 @ 23 (37 & 29, 25 & 1, DNP)
Carder 26 @ 13 (DNP, DNP, 21 & 5)
Nielsen 121 @ 20 (2 & 10, 32 & 21, 34 & 22)

There are still three more games (Gabba, WACA and then home vs VIC) before the BBL.

This weekend was the first round of Premier 2-day cricket this season, so there hasn’t been an opportunity for anyone to press for selection with the red ball at this stage. Scott scored a century and Capel 92 on the weekend, but you’d expect they’ll hope some of our batters can turn their form around soon, or it may be back to the drawing board over Christmas.

The fairytale is over, we were all in awe in the beginning but it’s fizzled out as quick as it excited us.

We just don’t have a genuine top class shield batter

Let's see what changes are made. Looks like Agar will be out and Buckingham and Doggett will be available again. I dare say they'll rush McGurk back in and I wouldn't be surprised if they gift Liam Scott another opportunity because he made a 100 on the weekend. Young Thomas Kelly, who made a 100 in the 2nd X1 a couple of weeks back, will probably be ignored again.

Terrible call. He’s 23 and got a stack of wickets last year. With our batsmen so poor and the luxury of McAndrew and Manenti performing well, there’s a free shot at giving him overs at Shield level and giving the side more balance. He’s only at the very beginning.

Obviously Smith dropped after some 20’s and 30’s and not going on with it. All the top 6 batsmen, besides McSweeney, should’ve been playing for their Grade team today. Put them on a flight tonight or tomorrow morning.

Lost the toss and sent in. Probably a typical Gabba greentop?
