Queensland despite their lofty position on the table have had batting issues in their 3 games so far, failing to pass 200 in the first innings in all 3 games. Their batting lineup is weakened with leading runscorer Khawaja away on Test duty. On the other hand, fast bowlers Neser (15 wickets @ 17.00) and Feldman (14 wickets @ 16.00) have been on fire.

[Carbine Chaos]

I wonder how we'll manage to lose this one.

I'm going to say that, with 2 runs to win, we'll lose to a hat-trick, including 2 hit wickets and one handled the ball.

 

[eth-dog]

Just assumed Burns would be captain. Well done to Peirson, must be extremely highly rated. Expecting Hemphrey to slot into the openers position and Burns to go to 3.

 

[Bigtrev41]

Understand Richardson has made himself unavailable...

 

[eth-dog]

Torz?

 

[Torz]

Nope, he's keen to play. Just pending workload management approval as usual.

 

[ioppolo]

Time for Cartwright to step up

 

[grimlock]

WA squad updated. I wonder who their new openers to replace Marsh and Bancroft will be. Wells opened for them last season, but not sure who the other one would be.

 

[ioppolo]

Darcy Short?

 

[Torz]

Bosisto might open?

 

[eth-dog]

Bosisto or Stoinis. I'd be inclined to go with Stoinis.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Would go Bosisto myself.

 

[eth-dog]

Stoinis not playing. Bosisto and Wells opening, Cartwright, Marsh, Turner, Short, Inglis

 

[grimlock]

Wells, Bosisto, Cartwright, Marsh, Turner, Short, Inglis, Holder, Kelly, Behrendorff, Mackin
Burns, Renshaw, Hemphrey, Labuschagne, Truloff, Wildermuth, Peirson, Neser, Doggett, Swepson, Feldman

 

[Aussie_boy]

Wells and Bosisto opening.

 

[Aussie_boy]

Cartwright 42, frustrating.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Cartwright 42, frustrating.

He seems determined to piss opportunities up the wall consistently.

 

[grimlock]

94 of the 113 runs in boundaries.

 

[The_Reaper]

Looked so horrible in the 90s but good century Mitch.

 

[Bigtrev41]

Nope, he's keen to play. Just pending workload management approval as usual.

I choose my words carefully.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Pleasing day for Bosisto and Short too.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Current curator should get the arse, another flat tack dead pitch.

 

[Jatz]

Current curator should get the arse, another flat tack dead pitch.

The turf manager just accepted a job with the MCC if that helps haha

 

[Aussie_boy]

Fair start to the morning for WA

 

[wolmeister]

Current curator should get the arse, another flat tack dead pitch.

I tend to agree; these wickets are nothing like traditional WACA wickets. However, WA keep screwing up in their second innings. If they keep losing there's a result which means there can hardly be pressure placed on the curator.
