Australian Domestic Cricket

Shouldn't be too long before Siddle gets a call up, made the break through by getting Casson and now he has the big wicket of Haddin.

Siddle standing up once again, are they show the pace of bowlers?

Yeah, probably something that pushed McKay out of the side, to be honest. Nannes is not letting quite as many go as he might in one-dayers, though that may also be because he's missed a few games, but his fast ones are still up towards 145. There's a certain energy to his bowling, mind you, if you don't watch the radar, you'd probably assume they're all going through at full pace. Probably because his slower ones are still 135.

Siddle and Harwood are about as fast as each other, which is a pretty good pace, the kind which national selectors love. Both are very genuine seam bowlers rather than swing bowlers, which might suggest either untrodden territory for Bracken later on or maybe a good wicket for Clark. Then again, Clark is a good yard slower than these guys, so maybe Siddle's youth and venom has been key. It's certainly not a scary wicket.

McDonald doesn't seem to bother with anything faster than 120 these days, but for that pace, he can still use the ball extremely well. I guess he might look to build his core strength and put his pace back up in later seasons if injuries hold off, but if he can simply be a more dominant one-day batsman he would easily be one to talk about.

McGain was on about 20 from 5 overs when I last watched, so finishing with 1/44 in 15 he must have recovered and bowled some beauties.

Hodge also looked up to his task and the supporting spinners might well play a role come day 4.

Shame about McDonald pace he was looking like our version of Oram.

Just read Watson might be switching to NSW, I reckon it's best he stays at Queensland. We need to bring through Henriques and we have Steven Smith whose place would be under pressure if he comes over here.

Watson should stay at Queensland. Him moving from state to state does nothing but harm the maturity of Australian domestic cricket.

His not wanted.

 

[aussie1st]

Hmmmm Clarke bowling before Casson. Brining back our Aussie stars hasn't done much probably would have been better of with Cameron in there somewhere.

If we can somehow get a lead of 100+ runs, I'd have a hard time see us lose to be honest. It's shaping up to be a great Pura Cup final.

Wicket!

Edit: He wasn't out. :

 

[aussie1st]

MacGill stops a player from scoring a 100. Hopefully we can clean up this tail and carry a 1st inns lead. Still no Casson, if our pacers can't do the cleaning bring him on.

 

[angryangy]

It's food for thought that MacGill and Bracken have been the pick of the bowlers.

 

[aussie1st]

MacGill should have wrapped up a tour spot. Lee figures much better after cleaning up the tail.

Hopefully Hughes can make a break through 100 now.

MacGill pwned Hodge well and truely.

Surely there can't be any question over him.

Mcgain>>>>>>>>>MACGILL.


**** the decisons are going against the us.

That's right Bushy. Especially when the Vics aren't batting well and playing some poor shots. Mind you the bowling's been of a high standard.

 

[bushy]

i recon under 400 we will win over we will lose.

Need a major collapse here, we're really in trouble.
