Expecting Sayers to slot straight in for Worrall and that's it for SA.

WA I'm expecting something like:

Bancroft
Harris
Marsh (c)
Klinger
Bosisto
Whiteman (+)
Agar
Mackin
Behrendorff
Paris
Hogan

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

The pitch last game was a lot better than previous seasons. They left more grass on it specifically so that the pink ball wouldn't deteriorate as quickly.

This worked but the spin off benefit was how the pitch behaved. Actually had something in it for the quicks and the ball came onto the bat nicely for the (good) batters.

Hopefully they keep it the same and don't revert to the grass-less, low, slow sub-Continent wickets that have been our recent trademark.

The rain here during the week should help keep the wicket a bit more lively.

I can't see us going into a game with a tail that long. Paris would bat above Mackin/Behrendorff if I was the coach. Beaton in for Hogan.

No Hogan? That's a terribly inexperienced bowling line-up without him.

Paris is a must pick and Mackin bowled well in Tassie - including Hogan puts the balance out of whack for me.

You usually bat Agar at 7 for the past 2 seasons.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Yes, but with tailenders who can bat a bit.

 

[eth-dog]

Yes, but with tailenders who can bat a bit.

I see your point. Beaton at 6 for Hogan I guess.

 

[MisterMarcus]

Shaun Marsh as captain? I've never really thought of him as leadership material.

 

[Torz]

I see your point. Beaton at 6 for Hogan I guess.

Beaton in, but Paris misses out again. Disappointing.

Bosisto and Beaton might have to bowl a few overs. And Agar will have a big workload.

 

[grimlock]

Benton and Lehmann miss out for SA
Paris and Moody miss out for WA

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Bancroft isn't helping himself to say the least. Needs a score.

 

[Aussie_boy]

Great to have Sayers back

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Can't believe Paris missed out again.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

What a rubbish start this is. Harris still can't covert his bloody starts.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

I see we have another fantastic S.Marsh innings....and why on earth is Paris not playing!

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Great chance for Bosisto/Beaton here, make a big score and we can promote Klinger to open and drop Harris.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Harris is pushing it, although he is talented. Have to say maybe he would benefit batting at 5 or 6 though for a while.

What's the deal with streaming on the Cricket Australia app? I thought Sheffield shield was free but they want me to subscribe.

Still worth it..$30 is nothing for all the SS, test matches, etc

Don't know about the app but on the website it's free but you still have to register for an account

 

[MisterMarcus]

Great to have Sayers back

Where has he been? Injured?

He was being talked about as potentially going on to higher things a season or two ago.

Thanks I've got it now.

Interesting wicket. Bit of movement off the pitch but not carrying well to the keeper.
