Andrews should debut being the only specialist spinner in the squad and Raphael will get yet another opportunity for the unfortunate Ferguson who is out for the season.

Khawaja was originally named on Friday but now he's going to NZ and the Bulls have surprisingly replaced him with Hemphrey instead of Scott Henry who has played all their games this year.

Expecting them to line up somewhat like:

Cooper
Raphael
Cosgrove
Head
Lehmann
Ross
Ludeman (+)
Mennie
Andrews
Sayers
Worall

Renshaw
Burns
Heazlett
Lynn
Hemphrey
Hartley (c, +)
Floros

Raphael in before Kelvin Smith? How is Raphael even getting a game

For his fielding?

 

[Bradesmaen]

For his fielding?

Does he save 100 runs a game? cause when he gets out for a duck in both innings he'll need it.

Same as Dan Christian: Sheer dumb luck

Only a slight difference in that one has decent runs on the board as an allrounder (Mitch Marsh level) and the other has an average of 22 as an opener after 27 innings.

Blame Splinter

Really disappointing that we've gone back to Raphael. Step backwards. Has already had a heap of chances.

Neither Smith or Raphael have set the world on fire:
Raphael: 14 matches, avg 22, 2 x 50's
Smith: 11 matches, avg 23, 3 x 50's

Smith is 7 years younger though.

 

[jackess]

I assume Raphael will open giving us a left/right hand combination opening which is handy.

Not that handy when one of the two is ******* useless

Which one?

It will be interesting to see how Andrews goes and if Worrall and Mennie can continue their form. Hopefully Cossie didn't have too much food for Christmas.

Good morning to be bowling. Surprised Qld batted with the low grey clouds and 75% humidity. Looking at the 4-day forecast, the only good time to be bowling in this match is today.

 

[PrideOf]

Just a question if anyone knows. How much do Shield umpires get paid?

No interest in doing it, just wondered.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Good start by Burns and Renshaw. Pitch not doing anything

More like Worrall and Mennie not doing anything. Sayers has been good. Again.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Sayers has been tight. Hasn't beaten the middle of the bat though or looked like taking a wicket.

Tough start for Andrews! Welcome to Shield cricket.

And Andrews picks up Burns. Good patience by the kid.

 

[ioppolo]

Interesting to see how Andrews goes.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Two down...

Worrall was off the field? Anyone know if he's still off or if he has an injury?
