I thought Edwards was impressive last week honestly

 

[Torz]

How many games would Webster have gotten, if he didn’t bowl spin?

Looked better than Stanlake ever has

Steketee with his first 5-wicket haul in first class cricket.

We should stop talking about when Renshaw will play Test cricket again, and start wondering how long before he gets dropped by Queensland.

He wasn't even close to hitting the ball he got given out too tbf.

This match could be over tomorrow.

I still like the look of Bryce Street,I hope I have not mozzed him again.

We could always stop laying in to the kid. He's still only 23. He's also still way ******* better than any other options Qld have, way ******* better. He has made 5 straight grade tons averaging 243. He will come good eventually.

Heazlett is such a strange case. He almost always seems to get middling scores when the conditions are tough and the rest of the team falls over, but always seems to fail in easy conditions. Basically the exact opposite of what you'd expect from a kid averaging 57 in white ball cricket

 

[ioppolo]

I'm guessing it's part of Bryce Street's game, but hopefully his patience doesn't make it easy for opposition bowlers to tie him down. Yesterday's knock was good in the conditions though.

Mate he's barely made a FC run for 2 years. Give McSweeney an extended run or Bryant a chance. Maybe he needs to freshen up a bit

Lovely innings Sammy. Potentially a match winning innings.

Embarrassing loss from the Tigers. I guess if you're going to prepare these pitches every game, it's bound to happen occasionally. You live by the sword, you die by the sword.

 

[SSwans2011]

Great performance from Steketee who is putting together a really solid season. Excellent knock from Heazlett too.

 

[Aussie_boy]

Feel like Steketee is underrated a fair bit. 33 matches now and an average of 26.

50 odd wickets at 21 the last two seasons I believe. Looks like he has picked up a yard or 2 of pace recently. The sort of bowler that looks like he could absolutely kill it over in England. Just an incredibly consistent line and length bowler. I really rate him now after not being a huge fan when he was younger and competing with the likes of Bazley for a bulls spot.

 

[Ducky Tie]

Tassie are ridiculously reliant on Wade. They would be hoping he remains a test only option and can play the last four games.
