JLT Cup 2018/19 - Goodbye CA XI

[Aussie_boy]

NSW lose.

Normally it would be a shame, but the real shame is that they're still going to play finals and it'll be played on one their pissy little home grounds.

 

[Torz]

Twice. Whilst their opponents have gotten a BP both times.

Also, at what point do we ask about Jake Weatherald being the next ODI opener for Australia?

He’ll debut in one of the formats this summer.

Deserves first crack against the Saffers in November, doesn't he?

I think the selectors have shown that performance in the JLT cup means 2/5ths of * all when it comes to ODI selection haha.

 

[Doodlesweaver]

He’s been fairly savage on the bowling.

Kind of refreshing to hear actually.

I like him as a commentator. He can properly analyse what's going on. Not sure I'd want him on all five days of a test though.

we need to focus on finding our best 15 for the World Cup squad. Not sure if he fits.

Averages 52 in List A cricket, has 4 tons, SR of over 100 and nobody has made the opening position their own alongside Finchy

I know what you're saying, but Warner will come back in. Then is there a spot for Weatherald in the WC squad?

Finch has shown himself to be a good middle order bat if necessary.

fair call. So presumably then Warner and D'arcy Short are playing for the one spot?

I'd hope so. For me the Aussies should probably take:

1x keeper
5x bats
4x fast bowlers
2x spin bowlers
3x all rounders

Keepers in contention: Wade, Carey, Paine?
Bats in contention: Weatherald, Finch, Warner, Smith, Head, Short, Lynn
Fast bowlers in contention: Starc, Hazlewood, Cummins, Tye, K Richardson, J Richardson
Spin bowlers in contention: Zampa, Lyon, Agar
All rounders in contention: Stoinis, Marsh, Maxwell, Cartwright?

 

[Torz]

Love watching Max Bryant bat. Expecting him to make a splash in the BBL this year.

 

[Aussie_boy]

That Aaron Summers is seriously average.

 

[jackess]

Fergie taking his time. Disapointing shot from Weatherall

 

[jackess]

Gotta get Carey in the Aussie teams.

 

[Hamingja]

Milenko and Rose put on 67 in 6 overs to get Tassie over the line with an over to spare

 

[Doodlesweaver]

C'mon WA keep them under 200.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

WA have an impressive pace attack. Our guys don't really look comfortable against the short ball

 

[Aussie_boy]

Simon Milenko is pretty underrated with the willow. Good cricketer.

 

[Torz]

Most short ones have been easy dot balls for WA today.

 

[Torz]

That’s bloody unlucky. Phillipe manages to get one off the back of the bat to second slip.

 

[Aussie_boy]

Carey is one of the better keepers to spin going around.

 

[eth-dog]

Carey is one of the better keepers to spin going around.

The best for me.

 

[Aussie_boy]

The best for me.

I definitely think so.

I said one of because I didn't want to be accused of bias.

 

[Chuckie357]

How can anyone take Kym Hughes seriously on commentary? All he does is dribble sh1t
