Australian Domestic Cricket

We seriously need to reverse our batting order. Our bottom 5 has outscored our top 6 too often this season - counting Rorher in top 6 even though he batted at 10 on this occasion and his 33 is the highest of those 6.

Even though Katich isn't performing as well as we'd like, I'd still have him cemented in the side.
Nevill's definitely safe.
Would like to see Henriques bowling, but can't really complain if he's batting well and returning from injury.
S. Smith's batting is going alright, but his bowling is pathetic.
I'm confident Jaques will perform in FC, dunno about OD though.

So that pretty much leaves Maddinson and Rorher. Warner or Hughes can replace Maddinson soon hopefully, Patterson in for Rorher. Don't know if we'll get Khawaja back anytime soon, even if Marsh returns for Aus.
 
On paper it looks good but these collapses have become a trend which started in the T20 and OD format and has worked it's way into the longest form.

Looks like Copeland has some sort of injury so if the guys playing NZ were certainly they all but are now.
 
About time he did something! Seems when he plays his ODI game he plays better, very much like Hussey.
True that...

I thought he was going to be our next number 6 (if not 5..even 4) a year or two ago. What happened? I know he blew his knee out and was ruled out for a season, but I thought he would of come back a beast.

Good hundred over here whilst the rest of the Redbacks crumbled.. I always thought he was the real deal.

Dan Christian though? What a spud... He's at best a Bangladesh quality all-rounder.
 
Just went back to his norm really. He has never had a season where he has averaged over 50. At least Marsh managed to do that 3 times in a row so that we could ignore his FC average although those were done in shortened seasons.
 
Maddinson will be lucky to be in the side come the new year. Jaques on shaky ground, Katich would have some credit left but will want a knock. Looks like Doherty is bowling well, out bowled Hauritz. Sounds like he is flighting the ball more than he was on his test debut but sadly for him it's little too late now that Lyon has come.
 
Ed Cowan is coming along nicely. Potential test opener if his form remains like this come the end of the season.
 
When is BBL starting? Not much enthusiasm anywhere...Is it gonna be on youtube like IPL?

December 16th. I'm quite looking forward to watching it. There's plenty of interest in Victoria with Shane Warne returning.
 
Christian did alright surely should be nearing an ODI spot. Mitch Marsh hasn't really kicked on like I would have liked since his Aus debut but his bowling has been good once again. Was also good to see Ferguson in the runs again.
 
Even though I didn't see the match and their figures weren't flash, it was good to see Coulter-Nile and Duffield returning from injury. We want the best players playing in the domestic competition. Unless it's against the Bushrangers.
 
Think we can forget about Warne's return initially anyway. Those of you watching the game or on twitter will know why. Highly unlikely his hand will be sorted in 5 days.
