Gone with the spinner for Tassie because Webster appears to have gone with mediums now, and Pyecroft is pretty s**t anyway. With Marnus and McSweeney being okay spinners I didn't see the need to go with Kuhnemann for Queensland. Queensland obvious favourites on paper with a deeper batting line up.

 

[Hamingja]

Few players playing for contracts next year in that TAS side.

Doesn't say a lot for Andrews or Ward if they can't make such a weakened squad although I guess they would be on multi year deals anyway.

 

[hotdish]

I will scream if Tassie play a spinner at Bellerive.

Am pretty excited to see if Jewell or Mac Wright can lock down a shield career in the tail end of the shield season here. Jewell is a gun and is too talented to just lurk around club cricket...

 

[toml]

Matt Kuhnemann to debut.

 

[eth-dog]

Interesting choice. Would have thought the extra batting would have helped on Bellerive

 

[eth-dog]

Gotta hand it to Queensland. They have two blokes suited to taking the new ball (Wildermuth and Doggett) but proceed to give it to the other two fast bowlers.

 

[corbies]

Wakim just seemed to miss a straight one.

Wakim just seemed to miss a straight one.

Yeah that was a big gap between bat and pad

Sharing your frustration!

Jewell looks good so far. Hope he can take his chance.

 

[corbies]

Not sure Doran got anywhere near his dismissal.

Not sure Doran got anywhere near his dismissal.

Did seem to move after it passed the edge.

 

[eth-dog]

Looks like Jewell is doing well.

 

[eth-dog]

Well done to Jewell for his maiden ton at FC level.

 

[toml]

Gee these commentators are as one eyed as it gets. That's plumb, as was Silk's. Doran may have been a bit hard done by.

 

[Voice of the G]

Well done to Jewell for his maiden ton at FC level.

Is Jewell related to the Richmond footballer/coach Tony Jewell?

Nope. Unrelated to him and Victorian Shield winner Nick Jewell

 

[Ducky Tie]

Jewell has a nice style. Would be a nice development if the penny has dropped. One to keep an eye on.

 

[sherb]

It's great to see a local boy come good with a maiden f-c ton.

139 f-c runs in total coming into this match, he nearly doubles that in one innings.

Well done Caleb.

 

[Hamez]

Jewell’s in good form. Been making runs for fun in premier cricket. I think I read that he has around 700 runs inc 5 100s so far this season.

 

[hotdish]

Look at all these people jumping on the Jewell bandwagon lol!

Don't recall anyone backing him in earlier in the year...

 

[Ducky Tie]

Burns' compulsive driving on the up is such a strange shot. Aside from the fact that it's not a generally common shot, he's also not very good at it. Misses it most of the time. Just wait for the half volley.

 

[Ducky Tie]

Look at all these people jumping on the Jewell bandwagon lol!

He was averaging about 10 before this innings. It's perfectly normal to wait for someone to prove that they are capable at a level before changing their perception.

 

[toml]

Shocking lbw decision against Marnus

 

[eth-dog]

That hit him on the outside of the front pad. How?
