Western Warriors - 2014/15 Thread

[Carbine Chaos]

Rimmo is almost first picked this season.

 

[The_Reaper]

Shield sides anyone? Can't imagine any major changes other than the will they/won't they with Agar at seven.

Harris
Bancroft
Klinger
Voges
S.Marsh
Whiteman+
Agar
Rimmington
NCN
Dorff
Hogan

Alternative is Rimmington out and a batsman in, but can't really see someone like Beaton strengthening the side that much TBH.

SOS is a pretty good chance to be in the world cup squad

Rimmo is almost first picked this season.

Fully agree, but can't see the selectors dropping Hogan, NCN or Dorf if push comes to shove.

First grade batting aggregate makes for interesting reading;

5 Bosisto, William University 12 13 1 2 3 2 39 6 1007 126 534 44.50 68.4

7 Fawcett, Jake Wanneroo DCC 11 10 3 1 3 0 42 5 742 105* 491 70.14 73.1
8 How, Calum Subiaco Floreat CC 12 14 2 2 1 0 54 1 920 132 453 37.75 59.8
9 Wheater, Adam J Perth CC 10 12 1 1 2 1 48 9 603 109 439 39.91 95.4
10 Godfrey, James Willetton 12 12 2 1 3 1 50 750 101* 420 42.00 65.1

Out of those, you'd probably rule a line through Towers, Swart and Johnston getting another go.

Bowling is a little bit simpler - the day Ty Hopes gets a black cap is the day I move interstate.

no 33, Stewart Walters...I feel like that is a fairly uncommon name. Didn't he play for Surrey?

33rd in the bowling is Mudassar Bukhari! That has to be the Dutch bowler.

Yes to both. Would love to see more of it TBH - particularly with the Irish/PNG/Dutch/Scottish. Plenty will be just as decent as the county pros grade clubs normally get out and it does a bit more for cricket globally.

Played juniors for swan view.

 

[Goondock saint]

Walters that is

 

[Hellgood]

Walters was at Glamorgan last year - a big WA connection with Goodwin, Allenby and Hogan all there too. The things ICC teaches you!

Bukhari came to Joondalup for the first half of the season, then left for the recent associates series - no doubt it was his Dutch teammate Michael Swart who brought him over.

Adam Wheater is from Hampshire, apparently a pretty good prospect as a wicket keeper batsman. Dom Sibley, the guy who made a double ton for Surrey as an 18 year old has been playing for Midland-Guildford and doing reasonably well.

 

[Freo Big Fella]

Dorff out for one game and Coults out for two according to Hagdorn in the Slimes.

Hogan/Rimmo/Mackin/Duffield/Agar?

Would love for it to be Duffield after his BBL.

Going by what Langer was saying Tye sounds like a huge chance.

 

[Hamez]

Bad news guys. JDorff out for the season with lower back stress fracture!!

 

[The Falcon Strike]

Shithouse news!!

Reckon he was a smoky for the Ashes tour

 

[kane249]

FFFFUUUUUUUUUU

 

[ROOTA#6]

Terrible news

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Bye bye Shield (and Ashes tour for Behr). Gutted.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

This means we simply must get Paris fit and in the Shield side ASAP.

[Noobz0r]

Fuuuuuuuck, I was happy with him being rested for the game.

This means we simply must get Paris fit and in the Shield side ASAP.

If not, what's our bowling attack? NCN, Duffield, Rimmington / Mackin?

 

[The Speaker]

cough cough hogan cough

 

[Noobz0r]

Hogan! I knew there was a quality paceman I was missing!

NCN, Hogan and Duffield isn't a bad attack...

Rimmington and Mackin are ahead of Duffman.

 

[Noobz0r]

Rimmington and Mackin are ahead of Duffman.

Duff had a good big bash, though. I've never really rated Rimmington's bowling, though he is a very handy lower order bat.

Mackin I can't really comment on.

Rimmington has been great in the Shield this season, like I said before he's one of the first picked this season. Mackin has been impressive, such a tall bloke so gets that bounce and has been pretty accurate. Though if Paris is fit and gets Grade form I'd pick him ahead of them.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Actually it's a bloody funny sight going to watch and seeing Mackin standing next to Harris. Like a father and son out for a trundle.
