Morris was rested.
Not sure what happened with Paris though.

We probably need to win this one to make the final I guess.

It's actually good management.

WA have 5 or 6 quicks up to FC level in Richardson, Morris, Stobo, Paris, Kelly and Haskett (from the little I've seen) so managing them so they all are able to last the season is very smart.

Just playing Richardson, Morris and Paris every game when all three are very injury prone is dumb. That strategy is the one that would catch up with them.

Don't think you can't blame the WACA if CA tell them to rest someone whose contracted to CA.

It's bloody annoying though.

We seem to lose 1 or 2 each game.
Turner still injured?

Paris tweaked a groin last game.
Maybe they're playing it safe with him.
He's a huge out though.

Good management would be playing two of them interesting one IMO.

Did he or is that what the physio told him ??

Its a green wicket its the gabba ...if Morris is fit you play him ...I bet you Marnus and Ussie are loving it that Morris is rested

I know perhaps never play them at all because they might get injured

Has CA decided to rest Morris because he is going to play the first test is that it ???? because I have no idea why professional cricketers are not playing when fit

frustration for me

He went off mid over in the SA second innings.
Came back on again the next day.

Maybe. But still rotating through all 5 or 6 is smart management.

It's a green wicket yes but just because the fans want all three at the same time doesn't mean it's a smart strategy.

You're overreacting because you aren't getting what you want. Managing players so they get through a whole season is actually a very good idea.

It might be frustrating but these guys know what they're doing. They've done this the last two years, and look what's happened for your state over that time.

Serious question, why is Ussie batting 4 and not opening? Burns will be batting 3 when Marnus and Ussie aren't there so he's better off just batting 3/4 throughout. I understood it when the top 4 was Renshaw/Street/Burns/Ussie but not now. Ussie/Renshaw could be the Aussies opening combo soon enough, so let them open together in the Shield.

I also find it strange the test opener hasn't opened in any shield game this season and yeah, especially in this one.

Quite happy to see Curtis get a debut. His form, and that of Phillipe has warranted the change.
QLD off to a good start

 

[Torz]

Jhye all over Renshaw today, pads getting a fair workout.

Disagree Eth

If he is fit he plays you play your best 11

 

[JackOutback]

That's a strong Queensland line-up with Renshaw, Burns, Marnus and Usman to start, Neser coming in later.

 

[4Seasons]

I think it’s perfectly fine for CA to manage Richardson and Morris’s workloads.
And we’ve had plenty of time to deal with it. They said it was what was going to happen before the season started.

 

[eth-dog]

Regardless, this looks destined to be a draw with the forecast for the next 3 days, Thursday looks like the only day you'll get a full days play with the rain expected overnight and late tomorrow, and then more rain on Friday.

Makes the SA vs Victoria game very interesting, with 5.33 separating WA to SA and 6.88 between WA and Victoria, a win for SA puts them in second if they get .34 more BP than WA, Victoria with the much more unlikely virtual 2 point difference to WA to get there for a win. Both probably hoping Queensland roll them for under 200

 

[Belnakor]

Reckon we’ll get more than an innings in ? Rain forecast all week and qld have dropped anchor for some reason.

 

[JackOutback]

Would just like to see Bancroft and Green get bats to press their case.

 

[Torz]

Jhye running riot through the Bulls middle order

 

[The Falcon Strike]

Jhye is clearly above domestic level.

If he can stay fit - think he can potentially be the missing link for our T20 world cup next year.

So many mid range plodder bowlers - we need someone at a true international level.

PLus his batting it more than handy

Big big IF mate. He typically plays one game and he’s cooked for months lol
