JLT One-Day Cup 2017: General Discussion

[Gough]

Goddamn backwards Victorians and their one first class ground provincialism.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Yes but Sydney and Brisbane have other cricket grounds.

The only cricket ground up to standards in Victoria is the MCG.

This wouldn’t be a problem is they scheduled them before/after Shield games, you know, when the G is available.

But Sutherland is a moron so here we are.

when is the Junction Oval redevelopment ready?

when is the Junction Oval redevelopment ready?

Should be ready by next season

 

[Hamingja]

Fair old snub for Steketee to be playing for CA XI.

Makes more sense to play it as a tournament like this, given that it's not like back in the 80s and 90s when they'd play a Test Match and then a one dayer or two before back onto the next test match. Better reflects the nature of a World Cup, which is what they're trying to replicate and prepare for anyway.

It would make a lot more sense if the home ODIs were played after it instead of at the end of the summer.

 

[Soups]

Anyone know where the big red leggie, LLoyd Pope is?

Rookie contract with SA

 

[Soups]

Rookie contract with SA

Thought he'd be getting a gig with the CA XI at least.

 

[The Speaker]

PNG better be playing in this next year.

 

[Cleavy]

since there was no specific thread for last nights NSW vs Qld match, I notice the scorecard said Renshaw bowled 10 overs. What does he bowl?

Offies. He's been giving himself 10 overs a game as captain of Toombul in Brissy grade cricket and hasnt been going terribly. Got Labuschange and Heazlett out in the same game a couple of weeks ago.

 

[Cleavy]

he can't be any worse than Floros or Chris Simpson

First time I've seen him bowl. Quite a tidy off spinner.

 

[Torz]

Returning Australian players for the finals.

SA: Head, Zampa, K Richardson
VIC: Finch, Maxwell, Christian
WA: Coulter-Nile, Behrendorff, Stoinis (maybe)

 

[Kyptastic]

Going to be hard for WA, none of Richardson, Mackin or Kelly deserve to be dropped.

 

[eth-dog]

Going to be hard for WA, none of Richardson, Mackin or Kelly deserve to be dropped.

Last in, first out? Therefore Kelly?

 

[The_Reaper]

Last in, first out? Therefore Kelly?

Kelly and Mackin.

Coulter-Nile and Behrendorff play if available.
