Marsh One-Day Cup

Remove this Banner Ad

Another year, another rename of the ODD cup after JLT was acquired by Marsh & McClennan Companies.



The Marsh One-Day Cup, the interstate competition's new name following the recent acquisition of JLT by Marsh & McClennan Companies, will kick off the summer on September 21.
The Marsh Sheffield Shield will then begin on October 10 after half the 50-over games have been played, with the remaining 11 one-dayers to be played in two more separate blocks in late-October and mid-November before culminating with the final on November 26.
This summer, however, will see five of the 21 games played at the MCG and the SCG, the iconic Test venues that have not hosted a domestic one-day game since 2013 and 2014 respectively, while a further four will be played at the WACA Ground.
Gold Coast's Metricon Stadium will host a 50-over game for the first time on October 31, with the remaining Marsh Cup matches to be played at Allan Border Field in Brisbane (four games), Junction Oval in Melbourne (two), Drummoyne Oval in Sydney (two), Karen Rolton Oval in Adelaide (three) and Hobart's Blundstone Arena (two).

Also the finals will be a simple 1 v 2 final.



I for one welcome our Marsh overlords.

So, the first Test against Pakistan is on 21/11.

On 15/11 the Shield goes on hiatus. OK, the squad might be in camp before the ListA restarts; but if we need to call someone up from outside the squad for the second Test on 29/11 CA will have deliberately placed them into 50 over mode. Its not a huge gap between an FC game and a Test, but surely not necessary.
 
So we play WA twice at the WACA and a month apart, odd scheduling

The October game aligns with the shield game.

And by the looks in September they've tried to leverage off both Vic & Tas travelling over and playing them off at the WACA in between. Presuming this is in some part due to the expectations of pitch preparation in Victoria and Tassie in mid September being the equivalent of pushing s**t up hill! Hard to push the match back later in the summer due to the big bash & test preparation season etc.
 
are these games televised on foxtel like last year? it was awesome hearing mitchell johnson as a headlining commentator against an experienced commentator like ian healy last year!

Great to see Marsh on board. Thanks to them for their sponsorship.

Victoria looks hard to beat as does NSW.

Anyone know where one can download into Outlook/Gmail etc the calendar?

WA will be good. NSW not as good IMO

Halfish, the rest streamed on the CA website. Last year's streams were all pretty good.
 
NSW is interesting. If they can get a win or 2 from their opening two games then they ought to be in a strong position. No Ashes players will be playing for NSW for the first two games. After that some might play for NSW. They still have Kurtis Patterson who I rate highly.

Queensland gets Neser and Labuschagne. What a revelation Labuschagne was in England. Good news for Australia, bad news for Queensland fans. Can't see him playing much for Queensland this summer. Unsure of Labuschagne one day form, but he is batting really well.

South Australia gets Alex Carey who might get a call up to the national team this summer. He should replace Tim Paine at the wicketkeeper spot. You got Adam Zampa who is very important.

Tasmania takes on Queenslandt but will be without Paine and Wade who are being rested.

Victoria is the team to beat this summer. They get players such as Handscomb Aaron Finch, and Glenn Maxwell. They will be without Marcus Harris, Peter Siddle and James Pattinson, but they are likely to play for Victoria this season, just not in the opening two games. Like NSW if Victoria can get wins over WA and Tasmania then they could go undefeated. They are awfully hard to beat.

WA should get the Marsh brothers, and they have Josh Philippe who played beautifully last summer.

Victoria hard to beat. Followed by NSW.
 
Qld side looking like a team that will post big scores but give up bigger scores. Adopting the Brisbane Heat strategy.
 
No Swepson for the Bulls is surprising. Tassie's squad looks weak. NSW just as weak. Victoria and WA favourites for me

As far as I am aware that is only the Qld squad for their first two at AB field. The small boundaries there might be the reason they have gone with a more containing spinner in Kuhnemann than Swepson.
