Wish the camera work was better

camera man is probably having a kip

Vic beat SA late on day 4.
Ollie Peake unbeaten on 70.

Qld v tas ended in a draw.

WA v NSW
NSW won in a low scoring WACA match.

 

[gokangas]

Vics good effort.

 

[toepoker]

Pat Cummins may miss the entire Ashes.
Without over egging it, this is a national disaster
Did we not recently sack the physio Alex Kountouris in a cost cutting measure? Was this pre or post-West Indies?
We’ve had an enviable record keeping our quicks on the park, don’t know why you’d mess with that

 

[dirtybird]

We have reasonable depth in the bowling department, I don't know why they can't rotate them all more often.
I understand with Cummins being captain its harder to rest him but we have plenty of experienced players who could take on that responsibility.

 

[muttley45]

Cummins out. Boland in, simples

 

[Groucho]

Cummins out. Boland in, simples

I’m sure that’s what they do so start with. The poms seem very interested in attacking Scotty so we’ll see who wins that battle on the bigger grounds here. We’re going to miss Pat’s contributions with the bat when you think about the important runs he’s made over the last few years.

 

[krakouers]

Short of a complete collapse of form, has loose bus change reclaimed his No 3 spot?

160 in shield and now 100 in Pura Cup?

Fergus O'Niell have to have an shirt on at some stage. Keeps taking wickets.
Current 5fer v AustraliaA at the Junction Oval.

Indeed.

Konstarse failed again versus quality bowling.

 

[Nate7]

I might rip down there tomorrow and give them a rev up over the fence.

Cummins out. Boland in, simples

Cummins is a huge out. Boland is the obvious replacement and it will be interesting how the poms play him. They smashed him in England, but played him like drunks in Aussie

Puts a lot of pressure on Hazelwood and Starc too.. neither of who are spring chickens. Will be a big ask for them to play all tests

They will also miss Cummins batting. he's dug you out of a number of holes in recent years. Your top 6 is not looking strong so you will be reliant on runs from Carey and the tail and that gets harder with Cummins out

Marnus got another ton yesterday. Think that's 4 this domestic season. He'll be back and be man of the series

 

[Hearts to hearts]

Meanwhile, the women absolutely monstered Bangladeshi to cement their SF spot at the ODI World Cup. Despite some uncharacteristically shoddy fielding, the bowlers led by Wareham and King kept Bangladesh to about 200 then reborn Healy and Litchfield covered that in half the overs without losing a wicket. How Wareham gets dropped for Molyneux is a mystery, she and King are clearly the best spinners and she bats well too.

Big call Spider !
Poms have some reasonable quicks..but they always seem to sh&t the bed when they bowl in Aussie so you could be right

 

[gokangas]

Meanwhile in the Vic v NSW shield game NSW looked like they were a chance for outright - on comes Boland and takes the last 5 wickets for 32 runs.

Reckon he hit the last one GK ?

Wasn't watching tbh. But absolutely yes.

A bit of shock to open the (e)paper to find Nic Maddinson going through chemo for testicular cancer.

All the best young fella

‘Imagine I hadn’t gone to the doctor’: Nic Maddinson’s private battle with cancer

Nic Maddinson was a few good innings away from maybe being back in the Australian cricket team to face India. Five months later, cricket was the last thing on his mind.

If he keeps this up it's possible that the Aussie selectors might pick him to carry the drinks for the boys in the Ashes series.

They're cooked by the time they get to Boxing Day. A few 30-odds in Perth will do that to ya.

They'll be ok for a few sessions, but will return to their usual self by the Day Nighter in Adelaide.

Without the skipper? He's basically 2nd picked after Head.

You know that. I know that. But do we have any faith in the Aussie selectors?

I'm confident. The young Vic needs an opportunity, but surely that will be in a series that means less.

Brisbane is the pink ball Test this year. That will be over in 2 days.

I've got tickets for the 1st 3 days of Adelaide Test. Any good pub recommendations Gasometer
