TAS XII

In: Gulbis, Michael
Out: Luke BUTTERWORTH

Tasmania's brittle batting line up was exposed by the Bulls last week with the Tigers succumbing to low totals of 149 and 121 in their two innings. Gulbis could be a straight swap for Butterworth as middle order bowling option but they might also address their imbalance by bringing in Michael for one of their quicks.

I love it when Tassie put Dom Michael in the team, thinking that it would make a difference.

It's their version of Clive Rose.

Not so long ago we thought the same about Stoinis

Clive Rose also plays for Tasmania, and is a much better player.

Not so long ago we thought the same about Stoinis

Stoinis was always a big hitter. Michael has literally nothing to offer, except cool hair.

 

[Pugsley]

Give Zampa the cherry.

 

[jackess]

I can sense another Gulbis double century coming.

This bowling attack sucks bar Richardson and Zampa to a degree.

 

[jackess]

Cosgrove underbowled.

Actually making a comeback

3fer for Travis Head.

 

[jackess]

Now we're starting to see why they dumped Botha.

This Worrall bloke has a strange run up

This Worrall bloke has a strange run up

His run up starts from the left hand side boundary.

 

[Pugsley]

What is going on out there ?

 

[Pugsley]

His run up starts from the left hand side boundary.

To the left do the Frankie to the right do the Frankie to boundary side do the Frankie but no doing the Frankie on the wicket.

How on earth could Travis Head claim 3 wickets? Those three batsmen need to take a long hard look at themselves

I'd be still sitting in the pavilion refusing to take off my pads as punishment.
