What does Matthew Short do?
Probably he misses out, with either Stoinis or Christian.

Middle order batsman who bowls some offies.

He's actually an opener, but yeah will start in the middle order

Are these the starting 11's?
If so, not unhappy with Christian out, I think Stoinis needs a big one.

 

[bombersfan4000]

You mean Gulbis or Short?

Gulbis as the never was been journeyman
from memory Short is still a young kid from the junior system

Christian in with Short running the drinks, would have liked to see the kid get a game but Christian gives us good flexibility.

Oh also Tassie won the toss and are having a bat.

 

[HBF]

Has it started yet?

Thankyou.

Gulbis and Short omitted for the Vics.
Boyce 12th man again.

Good to see a Victorian batsmen debut today


Good luck to young Jake Hancock. Had been on the cusp of the Victorian system for a number of years before chasing opportunities down south. Great kid who deserves his chance

 

[grimlock]

Hancock listed at 3

 

[Yoda_]

Hancock listed at 3

Is a top order bat so no surprises there. Although you would imagine Webster or Doran would come in first

 

[LukeParkerno1]

This has to be the best opening partnership for Tassie in a year!

 

[hotdish]

Good to see the Tas selectors suck up their pride and play horses for courses: No spinner down at Bellerive where the quicks always dominate... Plus Boyce was rubbish earlier in the year.

Doolan misses again, this time with a cracked jaw as opposed to concussion. Disappointing as he had a great start to the year.

Hamish Kingston was ommitted for Tas - not reflected in changes above.

Tas off to solid start: 0/28

 

[eddiesmith]

Christian in with Short running the drinks, would have liked to see the kid get a game but Christian gives us good flexibility.

Short has been named for the CA XI playing in a couple of days against Pakistan I think so may not have been available in the end?

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Does Stonis have some photos of someone? Exactly how is he getting a game?

 

[hotdish]

You put the mozz on!

Tas opening partnerships this year:

G1 v Vic [Jewell and Dunk]: 4 and 13
G2 v SA [Dunk and Silk]: 16 and 0
G3 v WA [Dunk and Silk] 24 and 98
G4 v NSW [Dunk and Silk] 10 and 2
G5 v VIC [Dunk and Silk] 28 and ?

1for.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

1for.

Not sure how Remain getting a wicket is relevant to Stonis getting games though!
