Confirmed not playing the first game. The 12 man squad is:

Peter NEVILL (Captain)
Sean ABBOTT
Trent COPELAND
Harry CONWAY
Liam HATCHER
Moises HENRIQUES
Daniel HUGHES
Nick LARKIN
Nathan LYON
Kurtis PATTERSON
Jason SANGHA
Daniel SOLWAY

So you'd think one of Sangha or Hatcher to miss out. Gilkes not picked either.

Only 6 batsmen named in that 12, do you want to see Abbott bat at 6? Hatcher a certainty to miss from that group

Nevill would bat 6 with Abbott at 7 as has happened on multiple occasions for NSW. I didn't say I wanted it to happen but you know it's a possibility.

Hughes
Larkin
Patterson
Solway

WA have lucked in here - we normally get NSW early in the season when they have all their test players getting primed for the Test season ahead.

This year we will get them two times before the have most of them back.

I just assumed Tremain was named rather than giving a thorough look.

Surely Sangha's leggies are of more value? With Moises in the top 5 as a change seamer.

Strange to not see Starc playing. He usually doesn't sit out the early shield matches as far as I remember.

 

[grimlock]

NSW love playing Nevill at 6 so I’ll go with

Larkin
Hughes
Patterson
Solway
Henriques
Nevill
Sangha
Abbott
Copeland
Lyon
Conway

 

[RedTinMania]

RIP Chris Tremain's career

Thought him going back to NSW was bizarre at the time, even more so now

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Sounds like Paris is out with a hamstring.

Could have been anything. It’s nearly at ‘stick a fork in him’ levels now.

 

[Perty4]

Its like a rotation of 'which WA bowler will sit out injured'

Surely we haven't won the toss and bowled?

 

[eth-dog]

Hatcher misses for NSW as expected

 

[corbies]

Larkin and Patterson deadset threw away their wickets.

Larkin and Hughes deadset threw away their wickets.

Patterson, Hughes still not out

 

[corbies]

Patterson, Hughes still not out

Yeah meant Patterson but wrote Hughes. Easily confused names

 

[eth-dog]

Nice ball to get Hughes from Hardie.

 

[Perty4]

Got lucky with the first 2 wickets, still struggling to understand why we bowl first

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Test spinner playing for the opposition.

Guess we'd better bowl first...

 

[Doodlesweaver]

I haven't been paying much attention to the resumption of cricket though followed last week's game. What is happening with Jhye Richardson?

Had shoulder surgery. Looking at a return for the BBL.

 

[CakeEater]

Moises killing us again.

Hes probably not up to it at test level but a very good domestic level player

 

[Tugga27]

Looks like it was a good toss to lose

 

[eth-dog]

Bowling was definitely a bizarre move by WA.

 

[toml]

It's as if they watched Qld roll Tassie for 250 on the same pitch and decided this NSW side would fold in the same way. And now they are going to have to deal with Lyon in the last innings...
