Australian Domestic Cricket

[Aislabie]

Kinda reminds me of Cam Whites several years back against England.

That one was pretty spectacular too, but Wade's was, in my opinion, far more difficult because he was moving and off-balance at the time. I'd love to do something similar

Sean Gregory 16 off 31 batting in the last 10 overs. What an absolute disgrace. How bad can you be to score that slowly at the back end of the innings?

Matador BBQs One Day Cup.....What a name

Yeah it's a brand of BBQs here in OZ

Last night in that last over the 2 run outs cost NSW dearly. backing up to far. Lost to Victoria by 3 runs

Records tumbling today at North Sydney Oval

Tasmania making 398 for 1 off their 50 Overs against Queensland
Ben Dunk became the first player to make a Double century in Australian domestic One Day Cricket. 229 not out off 157. Tim Paine's 125 has almost been forgotten.

Having said that Queensland are having a real go at it. 111 for 0 after 13 overs

Can't believe NSW buggered that chase up yesterday. More and more impressed with Carters though, his finishing has been Hussey like. Ferguson also hitting that patch which saw him go well in ODIs.

What a knock by Dunk, this will surely put him in the spotlight now. Nice support by Paine.

Should they give him the BBQ now? or be official?

Only 1 wicket has fallen all day. Goes to show the wicket at North Sydney Oval is

Puts the Tassie knock into perspective.

Disappointing to see Tasmania lose to Queensland after the Tasmanian batsman made 398. If we had of went a little bit harder at the start of the innings we probably would have won. Our bowling attack was very inexperienced though.

Ben Dunk making 229 not out was very good to watch though and it is a superb milestone to achieve. I believe Australian need a wicketkeeper for the Twenty20 series against South Africa because some of the Test players will still be in the UAE when the series starts. Dunk should be in strong consideration now for a place in that team at the top of order. Paine making 125 should also not be forgotten and I hope he can continue batting well as he is a very good batsmen when he is in form.

My grandmother would've made runs on that wicket

I think that match proves that James Hopes should be Australia's main go to bowler now.

 

[IanG]

Well it was a complete contrast to the other day when Tassie were bowled out for just 62 and WA got the runs before lunchtime

The problem with North Sydney isn't so much the ease of scoring, but that the chasing team wins more than two thirds of the time. There is usually a little bit in the wicket in the morning and almost never anything in the pitch for the team defending. If the first team can hang on, they can start scoring at like 8 rpo and make the target look good, but then the next team just scores that fast for the entire innings. Tasmania kept their wickets and fired back; nine times out of ten that's the right thing, but at North Sydney, nothing made up for the lack of runs. If they'd gone harder, they'd probably have coughed up wickets caught at mid off or something, and who is to say that anyone could have batted as well as Dunk? It was such an unusual score, that anything else most likely would have been worse.
