Excellentwin

 

[Monocle]

A bit too close for comfort, but you take the win any day.

 

[KBLT]

Looked gone there for a while. Good win.

Goodwin?

 

[Ilkka Sinisalo]

Wa get home

Pretty good to be top of the table right now having gotten zero matches from Green, Inglis, Marsh, Jhye and Kelly, plus Paris missing two matches and Morris being managed by CA.

 

[Mulldogg]

Great win that. Happy for Jayden Goodwin.

 

[Tugga27]

One thing's for certain.
Goodwin will be holding his spot.

 

[MrWoollie]

Wouldn't be blaming the bowlers.

Got bowled out twice last game for under 150.

Yeah, the batting has been very poor this year.

Sitting on top of the shield table (extra game over Tassie) but easily bottom for batting bonus points.

Still, you bank the early wins. Formlines mean nothing when you factor in a 2-3 month break with BBL etc.

We need Inglis back bad. Philippe is just sad out there.

Yeah unfortunately when Inglis isn’t available, there aren’t many options. I don’t think Whiteman keeps any more, and Bancroft would probably be better with the gloves but he’s also the best slip fielder, and it’s probably too much to ask him to keep and then open the batting while holding up a brittle batting lineup. So Philippe keeps playing even though his red ball returns last season and this one are more like what you’d expect from a guy who bats at 10 or 11.

Get Hobgod in the side

 

[RookiePick]

I saw Wyllie came back on. How did he look?

Hit a six, looked fairly comfortable with Goodwin. Tried to sweep a full Manenti ball and made himself look a bit silly.

Credit to him though he would have been batting in pain but came back on and managed to add a few with Goodwin getting us closer to the win. Valuable little partnership

 

[Wce17]

After that innings Goodwin should be moved to the number 3 spot for the next shield game against Queensland. I’d go with the following for team for that game.

Bancroft
Whiteman
Goodwin
Marsh
Green
Hardie
Curtis
Richo
Paris/Haskett
Rocco
Morris/Stobo

Looking at dates Marsh & Green will be back from India & should be available.

Inglis & Stonis will stay around for the T20 Series in India.

Philippe can be replaced by Curtis who can surely give us more with the bat.

Wylie is out of form & could miss anyway because of his elbow blow while Cartwright is struggling with his knee.

Bowler wise questions marks on Paris being fit although he did bowl again & looked fine, while who knows if Morris will be managed once again. Richo should be fit while Stobbo is very unlucky to miss but would step in if Paris/Morris don’t play. Strong Team

 

[Tugga27]

Green and Marsh coming back soon. Wonder if they will play a shield game before the bbl

Depends if CA clears them to play.

Marsh could probably do with a spell whereas Green needs some cricket.

 

[Tugga27]

I've got a feeling that if WA make the Shield final, we'll be playing Tassie in Tassie unfortunately.

Stobo should have been player of the match. Took 5/77 with the ball and scored 18* and 26 with the bat.

Stobo has been a great pickup. Just looked at his FC stats & he's had a really nice start to his career. 42 wickets @ 22.61 & handy with the bat averaging 23.12 in 12 matches. Feel like he quietly goes about his business.

I don’t know how Tassie are doing so well. Pretty solid lineup but on paper their attack is absolutely terrible.

Can't help but agree with him...to much of all most anything makes it boring.

Former England captain Michael Vaughan wrote on social media: “It doesn’t sit right with me that the 2 finalists 4 days later will start a T20 series against each other.

 

[kane249]

What's the point of adding it into the schedule? Just seems like a cash grab
