One day game.

 

[Great8]

One day game.

Yes, but I thought we were talking about SS cricket here. I know he made the double in the ODD Cup, he brings it up regularly

 

[Redline]

Yes. I was asked about Hunt by another poster a few weeks ago. I said there is definitely something there, he just needs to get in the habit of turning good starts and 50s into 100s. I wouldn't discount him playing for Australia at some stage, but he just needs to keep making runs at shield level first.

I am pleased we have someone who looks to be up to first class batting standard. I think we dream of having a solid top five or six for the Redbacks.

 

[Belnakor]

Head doing everything right to keep pushing his case for a rebirth at test level. Good to see. His FC average has also just passed 40.

i thought it was pretty clear he was back in the side anyway now that Wade has been dropped. But good to see him getting alot of runs.

How much has he been driving away from his pads though.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Yes, we've had some good batsmen from time to time, but you'd really need to back to our most recent Sheffield Shield winning team for a solid top 6.
1 Greg Blewett
2 Paul Nobes
3 Darren Webber
4 Darren Lehmann
5 Jamie Siddons
6 James Brayshaw

head finally out. very nice catch from S.Marsh.

 

[Santana]

Has Head made adjustments to his batting because otherwise none of this will matter that much once he is called back to the test team.

Didn't go on with it. Typical Head.

He's adjusted from making some runs to making a shitload of runs.

 

[Peter Doherty]

Has Head made adjustments to his batting because otherwise none of this will matter that much once he is called back to the test team.

The commentators kept banging on about how good he looked, how he was compact and has clearly made adjustments.

All sounds very promising.

 

[Santana]

He's adjusted from making some runs to making a shitload of runs.

He had a couple of big scores in the Shield before the test series that's all. Don't want another Harris here.

 

[Tugga27]

All sounds very promising.

Sounds like the pitch is flat and against one of the weakest WA attacks I can remember.

I would like to see a bit more before I make any calls TBH.

 

[carloss]

Jake Lehmann is playing. What role do they have in mind for him?

 

[JackOutback]

Didn't go on with it. Typical Head.

Triple hundred gone begging.

 

[eth-dog]

This is going to be a draw unless WA declare about 100 behind

if bancroft made a ton it must be an absolute road.

 

[Peter Doherty]

He was dropped twice on the way to the 100.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Ouch

 

[Moonwatcher]

Bancroft likes making runs against SA.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Who wouldn't I guess.

 

[Tugga27]

He was dropped twice on the way to the 100.

Still having a good year TBF.

Averaging nearly 60.

 

[Peter Doherty]

Still having a good year TBF.

Averaging nearly 60.

If he can keep it together he'll be a pretty good player for WA for years to come.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

A typical nothing score from Cartwright. Has to be time, no?

 

[Crashy]

Why hasn’t Head had a bowl?

Injured?

 

[Great8]

A couple of quick wickets, hopefully a few more and we can wrap the innings up
