Australian Domestic Season 2018-19

[Eagles2014]

Pope not ready but no other spin options. Only Andrews who is much better batter, but bowls pies.

What's the go with Andrews?
Seems to make 100s for fun (well, not quite, but regularly) at district level, but gets into the middle against the shield boys and looks lost.
Is that a sign that the gap between our district comp and Shield Cricket is too high?
Or is Tom just one of those blokes you see dominate at the lower level, but can't make the final step up?

You would make 100's on Woodville Oval!! The flattest pitch going around.

When he batted in JLT Comp at start of year he looked like he had never batted before!

He did make 58 in Second X1 game in Queensland last week before being hit on head by Gannon and retiring hurt, so definitely has improved.

No point playing Valente while we have Sayers and Mennie. They are the accurate workhorses who can bowl lots of overs, keep the runs down. Just more of the same.

Unless we're going with 5 batters and want to bolster our batting (Nielsen at 6 and Valente at 7) but I doubt it.

[Brodlach]

No Lehmann and play Valente is an option especially if they are concerned Sayers is underdone and worried Pope might get hit around

Lehmann averaging 47 in the shield this season, no chance of being dropped.

1 100
4 50's

And was captain when we were getting no Head, Boof Junior just can't get all 3 formats working in sync but I'd take Shield form over the other two non events.

Don't know why we need six days break after the BB final before starting the Shield. Enough time has been wasted already

They need to find their creams and baggy caps..... [emoji6]

So they can all drive back to their home states.

And to watch footage of what good cricket looks like.

Pope the one to miss out, struggling with the duke ball according to the bloke on the news.

Lehmann listed to bat at 3

Ferg at 5

[Tony Clifton]

Started where we left off... 2/23

[Burras]

Can somebody please tell me why Kelvin Smith is not playing?
There is 4 games left and realistically we're not making finals, time to think of the future!
Why stick with the same side that continues to fail.. FFS

[Armchair expert]

Two poor shots to get out, still playing big bash.

[Armchair expert]

A wicket before lunch, typical, bring back the big bash im over this shit already

[Jim05]

5/109
Trav 48no

6/115 Head gone for 50

Another woeful batting performance

[Armchair expert]

Why do we always make Bird look like a superstar, when he is just average.
