How did Beaton look?

There wasn't any coverage of the match on tv. His wagon wheel showed runs all-round the wicket though which is positive, he hit sixes straight and over mid on.

Cosgrove's bubbles burst which is unfortunate for Tasmania. It says on cricinfo scorecard that hodge has retired hurt which is not a good sign he's scored half of Victoria's run this season in the Ryobi Cup.

Hodge back on and looks like he'll continue on his marry way again. Christian is mkaing a serious push for a World Cup spot and it helps that his main rival Hastings has been out of the scene.

NSW creaming the top of the table team, Lee is looking better and better, should be good to have him back in the ODI side.

Another nice one day win for the Redbacks. Christian was dominant; 6 wickets and 86 runs. Wow. I think they are now level with Victoria on the table in equal 3rd.

Henriques
Hughes
Jaques
Khawaja
Maddinson
Nevill
O'Keefe
Smith, S

Our 12 man squad for SA. Hopefully O'Keefe in over Henriques so that he can push his claim for a spot. Having 3 spinning options would be handy for Clark on the SCG wicket. Would allow O'Keefe to show his batting skills likewise Smith.

Would expect either Jaques or Henriques to be left out.

 

[aussie1st]

Would say Jaques would survive the cut for this match but two more failures could spell the end.

 

[angryangy]

He's lost that dominant edge ever since the back injury. He still plays the odd blinder in one dayers, but I think he's gone a bit Hussey in first class, lacks the positive game that made him a star.

 

[CremerCurrans]

Thats interesting they've dropped Warner for Khawaja, Warner would fell unlucky unless he's injured that is.

 

[aussie1st]

That is the Shield side.

 

[CremerCurrans]

woops just noticed that.

Queensland One-Day Team to play Western Australia:

Andrew Robinson
Ben Dunk (c)
Chris Lynn
Craig Philipson
Jason Floros
Joe Burns
Michael Neser
Ben Cutting
Nathan Rimmington
Chris Swan
Luke Feldman
Alister McDermott

Hopes & Hartley both out with hand injuries, Reardon dropped. Obviously trying out some new players now that they are out of the running.

 

[aussie1st]

Wow that batting lineup is almost unrecognizable. It is good to see Queensland now throwing in the youth as the more available the better the chance that we'll get one that makes the step up.

 

[CremerCurrans]

Yeah it will be interesting to see how they go. Andrew Robinson has an strange story he's a 29 year old opener, born in Devonport Tasmania and has played for Glamorgan & Gloucestershire second elevens, is a level one cricket coach. And is debuting for Queensland on wednesday.

 

[aussie1st]

Should know what hes doing then, I was reading he is only behind Symonds in terms of runs or 100s in grade cricket.

 

[Biggy]

Would expect either Jaques or Henriques to be left out.

Was at Burnie on Saturday and was quite impressed by Henriques, and they gotta play Jaques. I think they'll go without O'Keefe.

 

[angryangy]

Lots of runs for Robinson in first grade and he made 77 against the England Performance Programme team, so it's safe to say he's there abouts first class quality. A mature age pick for a team that could use someone sensible.

Michael Neser follows in the footsteps of Kepler Wessels as a South African-born Queenslander, but there isn't much to compare after that. The 20 year old middle order player has been around their set up for a bit and played a decent innings in the last one day game. They seem to fancy him as a bit of an all-rounder.

Joe Burns is an attacking top order bat. He is QAS' top scorer in the Futures League, with a couple of hundreds and also made a couple of decent scores against the EPP, so he gets his deserved chance to make a mark.

Interesting to note the leading run scorer in first grade is a teen opener by the name of Corey Barsby. One suspects such a name should inevitably play for Queensland and he is in fact; leading the u19s at the National Championships.
