Is Tom Whitney related to Mike?

I don't believe he is any relation to Mike.

 

[crowholder]

Wrong again

Peirson only managed 94

Although their tail wagged too much

 

[Thrillthorpe7]

He's clearly rated by CA given his Aus A captaincy duties for a couple of years now and is putting together good form over a long period now, so why not?

I was at the game today. The captaincy of the SA side after taking the wicket of Ben McDermott was abysmal. Harris would have been having kittens I reckon watching that. So lucky to get 1st innings points thanks to Swepson being an absolute donkey. Barbecue'd Peirson solely because he didn't want to face McAndrew and then after almost getting Qld home thanks to a cameo from Whitney, tries to guide Agar over the keeper and only manages to nick it.

Unfortuantely they got rid of first innings points a few years ago

The new points system from CA website is.....

Teams get six points for an outright win, one point for a draw, plus 0.01 of a bonus point for every run over 200 they score during the first 100 overs of their first innings (ie: 350 after 100 overs nets you 1.5 bonus points) and 0.1 of a bonus point for every wicket a team takes during the first 100 overs of their opponent's first innings (ie: 10 wickets before 100 first-innings overs elapses nets you 1 point).

So the points breakdown from this game so far are

SA
1.14 points batting
1.0 points bowling

QLD
1.08 points batting
.9 points bowling

Marnus bowling absolute pies and has apparently been annoyed with the commentators taking the piss out of him all match . Mate, go back to bowling leg spinners or simply just back in your actual bowlers like Swepson. Thankfully he ain’t the captain for Aus so there’s no chance we see these pies for more than a couple of overs this Summer!

Thankfully we haven't collapsed in the 2nd innings.

I'm guessing we'll declare at stumps and send QLD in tomorrow needing around 350.

If we make it to stumps

 

[jackster83]

If we make it to stumps

Another 4-5 overs, get Carey to his ton and then declare.

Well he did it quicker than that.

 

[jackster83]

Well he did it quicker than that.

There's something about the name Carey and going hard through the 90's lol.

Barring Labuschagne and Khawaja putting on a clinic we might actually be well placed to get an outright in this, we've definitely batted well in the 2nd innings.

Hopefully the wicket on day 4 will favour the bowers a bit more.

[Kane McGoodwin]

Shoving up those interstate who want him replaced.

Should be our 1st choice Test & ODI keeper.

Inglis for T20's.

Inglis with back to back centuries too and is in good batting form overall, just nice to have the both of them at the top of their games

With the form of our batters this Shield round they could do worse than pick him as a lower order player.

Wonder what he's like in the field

Leftfield

Open with Inglis

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Leftfield

Open with Inglis

I was going to post exactly this.

He's technically good enough.

If he's amongst the best batsmen in the country, then why not.

Perhaps the selectors should suggest he open for WA next game.

 

[Redline]

Well placed going into day 4. I.presume we will declare.

I am dissapointed Pope isn't playing. I get he isn't perfect but I was hoping under a new coach he could get a block of games.

As others have said despite his second X1 form Lehmann shouldn't be in the side. Time for a change.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Qld 0/38 looking ominous. Chasing 359. Ten wickets feels a long way off. Agree with Redline re Pope. This 4th innings is when you need him.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

2/67

Nice to know it's not just our batters I can jinx

 

[relapse]

Marnus just got out it's 3/79

After starting at 0-61, they've now lost 3/18

From this point with Khawaja and Marnus being back in the pavilion you would expect QLD will stop chasing a win and try and play defensive to bat out a draw.

Hopefully the wickets can keep falling.

Queensland 3-79

McAndrew continuing on his good form of the last 18-24 months, still quite underrated too. Crash Craddock mentioned that the Konstas twin 100s were 'only against the SA bowling attack', ignoring that our pace bowlers have been one of the better performing attacks for quite a while now and they all have Aus A or even Australian experience in Agar's case.
