And people ask why SA have/had a quota

SA shouldn't have a quota, it is a disgrace and racism at it's purest. If you are born in SA and are the most competent player to be playing for your country the colour of your skin shouldn't matter.

“I politely said ‘no worries mate’ and walked back into my room and I screamed in my pillow,” quipped Marsh, in an exclusive interview with Fox Cricket.

“Nar, I didn’t really.

Incredible headline

Can we keep the quota discussion - both for and against - out of this thread please? Plenty of better spots for it to take place

 

[FKASC]

Good toss to win for WA

 

[DanWCE]

Yes Kappy. Lanning gone early

 

[darksquare]

Richardson and Paris are international-calibre bowlers. I'd love to see either of them get a crack this summer.

Warriors have Queensland 7/58, pretty decent start. Khawaja offering some resistance.

What's the deck like? Green, I'm guessing.

Is it still impressive to carry your bat if your team is out for under 100 before tea?

Yes. It generally means batting conditions are tough, so you've toughed it out where others couldn't.

One of my early games of 2nd grade I carried my bat in the first dig and was last man out in the second. We'd lost outright, I was devastated, but proud to have been the only bloke who could handle the dominant pace attack we faced.

Umm, I also ran out 4 of my partners. So yeah.

 

[DanWCE]

The race is on for best WA bowling performance, with the Scorchers currently rattling the Stars at 6/60.

Oops, make that 7/60.

Sounds like you handled it by getting off strike ASAP

Tip and run King

No idea sorry, just going off the scorecard

Forecast for Brisbane today is rain, possible storm, so it's probably swinging too. Four out caught behind.

Not if you were batting 4

Good one Inzamam

Edit: too good not to share, you wonder if he was on the take at times

 

[Truckosaurus]

Yeah, saw that too late. Interesting choice to put himself there given there's an opening spot available for the 1st Test.

Watching it on Kayo. Commentators saying they couldn't pick which pitch they were going to play on before the umpires put the stumps in...

He's been lucky. Sitter dropped at slip, many plays and misses could have been edges. But he's still in, where others are out.

 

[Dazzler9]

Good one Inzamam

Edit: too good not to share, you wonder if he was on the take at times

Oh, definitely.

 

[Truckosaurus]

Should be a fair boost for the Scorchers' NRR this.

 

[Doashuey]

Yeah, saw that too late. Interesting choice to put himself there given there's an opening spot available for the 1st Test.

Theres also a middle order spot up for grabs. A spot I think he has more of a chance at than opener.

So all out for 129 and Khawaja has scored 70 of them with the next closest score of 13. To add to another couple of centuries, he is certainly putting himself in a good spot for a recall.
