Sheffield Shield - XXXX Queensland Bulls vs CommBank Busharangers (Wed 10 - Sat 13 Oct)

[woofles]

what's the story with lynn?? i'm assuming injured...

and i wonder what the governor thinks now of finchy boy being demoted to 12th man....

More a question of who makes way from that middle order Im guessing, he played in the one dayer the other night

 

[The Passenger]

i would've thought khawaja could open in place of robinson or townsend to allow lynn into the team. probably in place of AR.... i don't mind WT.

lynn had a horrible season last time round though so i guess is copping it for that.

it's also possible khawaja moved on an understanding he wouldn't have to open. i'd still back lynn to be a better opener than AR. cue robinson to notch up his maiden FC ton in the second dig.

Id have thought thats it, he wants to be seen as a middle order bat and thats where Lehmann will play him. Perhaps Hopes could open the batting? Done it a bit in the shorter forms

Handscomb really struggling this season. Wade looking alright though.

 

[Ducky Tie]

#3 isn't middle order, there isn't much difference between #3 and opening. If you can bat at three, you should be able to open.

 

[damochandler]

typical day 1 wicket at the gabba. 16 wickets fall

it's not that surprising finch didn't get picked. he hasn't exactly been lighting up the scoreboard in the 4 day format has he

he played in the one dayer on sunday. he just has players player better then him filling the spot

look at the govs twitter and you'll see he had finch in his test side on sunday after the 150

i pretty much subscribe to this theory as well.

oooo god :-/

 

[Ducky Tie]

Good to see Wade back playing his best format. Looks in good nick despite the way the world cup panned out for him.

 

[legend166]

Good one guys, I'd completely forgotten that The Governor existed, and now you've gone and made me remember him.

He tweets to Rodney Hogg all the time

Great day to be a fast bowler - extremely overcast and grey and 80% + humidity. Though it may well rain making it redundant...

 

[Kyptastic]

Wade and Siddle batted pretty well in that little mini-session, should see Victoria get first Innings points from here.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Vics tail wagging nicely. This shield game was always going to be dictated by the quicks IMO. Vics have a gun bowling attack. Bulls need their batsmen to lift.

Well the rain's arrived now but looks like the bowlers made a fool of me.

 

[Bucking Beads]

QLD quicks must have bowled poorly. The conditions were well suited for fast bowling. Siddle has improved his batting out of sight and Wade is in good nick.

 

[eddiesmith]

Be interesting to see the tactics on resumption whether they go for quick runs or try and build a big lead carefully, plenty of batting to come

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Siddle to open in Tests?

 

[Kyptastic]

Siddle to open in Tests?

Oppan Pathan Style?

 

[Ducky Tie]

Why is Maxwell not playing?

At the Champions league with Delhi.

Turns out he was actually with Hampshire, my mistake.

 

[ROOTA#6]

Siddle to open in Tests?

He will make a Test ton one day

 

[sherb]

After going through his first-class career to date without a 50, Siddle scores two in two matches.

Oppan Pathan Style?

Don't worry, someone appreciated that

 

[Kyptastic]

Don't worry, someone appreciated that

Thank you. Someone who recognises my superior wit.

 

[eddiesmith]

Well that was an exciting day!

 

[Daniel Cherny]

Well that was an exciting day!

October rain in Brisbane. Well I never.
