That's what is likely to happen, I don't see the point of playing all three of Christian, Holland and Stoinis. Surprised Harper got the promotion ahead of Ayre honestly.

Would have liked to include Short to bat at 6 and bowl offies though as a change up from the military mediums Christian and Stoinis deliver.

Is Patto still only playing half a game?

Given that there's only 12 named I doubt it.

 

[Cleavy]

not sure Tassie are playing enough keepers

 

[Cotchin 9]

Ayre made runs in the futures league game, Harper didn't. K then.

Hope Holland gets a run.

Tbf, Dunk hasn't kept in years, Doran is a Handscomb type at best and Ben McDermott isn't a great keeper anyway.

Matthew Wade is all Aus ODI

Wade was also injured the last shield match.

Oh so it's changes from the last game
wasn't Ayre keeper then ?

No, Handscomb was.

 

[JUBJUB]

No, Handscomb was.

They're you go,so along ago I didn't realise he'd kept for the Vics this season.

 

[Hamingja]

It's hard to remember that Dunk had scored 600 runs in 5 games before the big bash. Be interesting to see if he can find form again.

Tasmania have the 2 top run scorers and 2 of the top 4 wicket takers and sit a long last on the shield table!

Not available until Friday..I'll keep you posted

 

[Aussie_boy]

About time Doherty was dropped.

 

[western royboy]

No, Handscomb was.

Ayre kept in the game where Wade broke his Collarbone in the warm up

 

[eth-dog]

Yep, but pretty sure Handscomb has kept the following two.

 

[Matt loves Essendon]

I also thought Ayre was next in line, but looking forward to Harpers debut.

Ayre was ordinary in the game I saw - I saw Harper in the nets with Pattinson & Siddle recently so I sort of assumed he was in the frame. It's a good move

His glovework was poor under pressure unfortunately. May have been first game nerves but it's disappointing nonetheless.

Rain might play a big part on day one

Herald sun mentioning that they believe that cricket australia may pull james pattinson out of the match mid way through if they feel he gets a good enough hitout from the 1st innings.

Given he hasnt played a match since early January, surely he should be able to play the full game.

David Saker mentioned on radio this morning that Harper's batting looks his strength and his keeping is still a work in progress, interesting to see how he goes.

Weather not great in Melbourne?
