Western Warriors 2015/16

[Van_Dyke]

Fantastic news, with Cartwright making his return from injury. He was having a really good season up to his injury so hopefully he can pick it back up and put his name up for Shield selection!

Duffield's inclusion intrigues me...is he still being considered for WA selection?

Keeping him around as depth in case of others being selected for Aus/injury?

Perhaps, is Moody etc injured? Bit odd that he's not getting a run in this game ahead of Hogan etc.

Moody is playing against India today

Moody is playing against India today

Most of the players listed for the other game are playing against India today.

 

[Freo Big Fella]

Interesting that Muirhead has been named in both squads v India and our Futures League side - has he officially jumped ship?

He's still contracted by the Vics and played a round of futures league with them. I think it's just because he's here more then anything else

Certainly hope he has/will. Deserves a chance, and a change of scene.

 

[Torz]

Not the worst start by WA. Bowlng first, we have them 1/31 off 5.3

Duffield has been bowling well 3 overs 0/13

I'm honestly surprised your bro didn't get a go in these games given he made the Matadors team

Torz has a brother playing for WA?

Torz's younger (?) brother is Jhye Richardson, the rookie.

He's in the Scorchers squad to play the Hurricanes.

 

[The_Reaper]

Muirhead and bloody Drew Porter of all people bowling well

 

[Van_Dyke]

Forgot about Drew Porter's existence

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Porter is a weird choice to play in this game, wouldn't have thought he'd be a chance of WA honours again.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

This is very exciting -

37.3
O'Connor to Dhoni, OUT, steps out to go over long-on but is completely deceived in flight, didn't get to the pitch of it, the ball spun away sharply as the wicketkeeper whipped the bails off quickly. Dhoni's scratchy innings ends

MS Dhoni st †Inglis b O'Connor 15 (35b 0x4 0x6) SR: 42.85

 

[Torz]

This is very exciting -

Considering O'Connor rarely gives it flight, I'm surprised. Bowls dart leggies.

 

[Doodlesweaver]

This is very exciting -

Sounds hilarious. Same with Drew Porter taking wickets.

Facing bowlers you've never seen before can be hard.

 

[Mr Commissioner]

Nope - just Scorchers contract.

 

[Freo Big Fella]

Porter is a weird choice to play in this game, wouldn't have thought he'd be a chance of WA honours again.

Forgot he's only just turned 30 - we're not exactly short of bowlers at the moment, but he could be a pretty handy depth option over the next few years if his form holds.

 

[Hamez]

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Bos made 207* in the end. Hilton 123.

Liam O'Connor kept it bloody tight in the first dig as we bowled them out for 144 - 2/6 off 7.5 overs. In the second dig he has 1/5 off 6.

 

[The_Reaper]

Dixon is another guy we'll probably lose to the eastern states at some point.

 

[Hamez]

Looks like Behrendorff season will be over once the BBL is finished. Will play in the semi final (and final if Perth progress) before resting/treating his back.

No loss.

Genuine spud.
