[ioppolo]

Is Patto man likely to play ahead of Tremain?

Harper
Pattinson
Tremain
Boland
Holland

 

[jackess]

Head in for Ross is obvious. Richo and Sayers will play but the last 2 bowling spots will be interesting Grant hasn't done a lot wrong, Opie is in great form and Zampa will play unless its a similar wicket to last game.

 

[The_Reaper]

Ferguson still a guaranteed selection?

 

[jackess]

Ferguson still a guaranteed selection?

Given we only have 6 batsmen in the squad I'd say so.

 

[eth-dog]

Given we only have 6 batsmen in the squad I'd say so.

Zampa can probably bat at 7 honestly.

 

[jackess]

Zampa can probably bat at 7 honestly.

He could but I'd still expect Ferguson to play.

 

[jackess]

Zampa can probably bat at 7 honestly.

I also think that the Redbacks would be happy with Head as the 5th bowler.

 

[Carlos Danger]

Ferguson still a guaranteed selection?

Harsh on Alex Ross, he made more runs in 1 innings than ferguson in last 4 matches.
Surely on his last chance.

 

[Hamez]

Ross played in the FL game this week vs WA and made 11(17) and 0(2).

 

[Carlos Danger]

Ross played in the FL game this week vs WA and made 11(17) and 0(2).

Still more return than ferguson lately. Lol

He has to repay the faith SA is keeping in him. Against the top team would be as good a time as any

 

[Voice of the G]

Ian Holland pretty unlucky to miss out on selection for Victoria yet again.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

SA won the toss and dobbed them.

Opie and Valente out so attack is Sayers, Richardson, Grant, Zampa. Big risk to bowl first on a 39 degree day.

 

[grimlock]

SA won toss bowling

SA: Weatherald Raphael Ferguson Head(c) Lehmann Cooper Carey(+) Zampa Richardson Grant Sayers
Head, Zampa for Ross, Valente

Vic: Dean Harris Stoinis Finch White(c) Christian Harper(+) Pattinson Tremain Boland Holland
Finch, Pattinson, Stoinis, Tremain for Gulbis, Pucovski, Quiney, Reed

 

[eth-dog]

I would have been tempted to play Ahmed ahead of Boland. Don't really see the need of 5 seamers (especially when Boland and DC are very similar)

 

[Carlos Danger]

SA won the toss and dobbed them.

Opie and Valente out so attack is Sayers, Richardson, Grant, Zampa. Big risk to bowl first on a 39 degree day.

Especially when playing a spinner... havent looked at the pitch yet though it's not green again is it?

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Especially when playing a spinner... havent looked at the pitch yet though it's not green again is it?

Hope it is. What was wrong with the last pitch?

 

[Aussie_boy]

Not sure why the Redbacks would choose to bat second, ever.

 

[Bradesmaen]

Not sure why the Redbacks would choose to bat second, ever.

Humidity and a dukes ball.

 

[eth-dog]

Harris' runs seem to be running dry now.

 

[Bradesmaen]

As does Stoinis'

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Stoinis fails again.... living on borrowed time surely.
Atm we're better off with Bobby instead.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Stoinis could benefit perhaps shifting down to 5 or 6.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Grant bowling a lot better than last game. Was all over the place vs WA
