Shield Round 8: Victoria vs South Australia

[Adelaide Hawk]

Seemed to be a number of annoyed people on social media who don't rate him. Your right he has been the 2X1 keeper so seemed to be the logical replacement.

Were these people offering an alternative?

I may be wrong, but that's how I see it.

Mattius played in a Seconds match couple of weeks ago and hit 80+. Presume that was him with the gloves. Looked more than tidy, took a couple of slick snaffles. Is he home grown?

I know his club Sturt is happy with him, I'm just interested in why people were opposed to his selection.

Another good win by the Vic's

Can cricket Australia send Boland back if they aren't going to use hin

From what I saw it seemed to be Southerners wanting Josh Barrett in.

Andrew Zesers says Mattias caught them as well as a basketball backboard in the game against them

Josh Barrett from Southern Districts was offered up.

Kelvin Smith is only 28. Worth one last shot?

Bloke isn't even keeping this second XI game

That's what I love about discussions on wicketkeepers, everyone thinks their keepers are the best.

Don't know anything about (Syd?) Barrett's how old is he? and don't follow district cricket at all... if the bloke they picked has been second XI and is 19 hard to argue it too much.

not picking Kelly or anyone for Lehmann/Carder is baffling though

Spencer Johnson finally showing his talent.
A left armer who bowls 140 plus and has a decent bouncer.
Exactly what Australia needs coming through for post Starc.

I'm predicting he will have an international cap sometime around the Ashes...








He's playing for Italy as they try and qualify for the 2024 T20 World Cup this July along with Manenti.
