Congatulations horrie on defeating the nasty dubbers at Lismore yesterday.

I just want to know why Aaron Bird is still playing for NSW. He is the worst chucker the world has ever seen & I can't understand why the dubbers feel the need to pick him. Surely they must have others who can bowl legally.

It's to make up for the Voimts hiring Chuck.

The internationals should spice up the big bash. Will be interesting to see if the Vics. can maintain their consistency over the three different formats.

not like we're losing anyone to national selection (aside from Siddle)

sage from nath...the oz team will continue to be full of over rated spivs and Mr snicket who carries on as if he was from NSW...I have come to a point where unless we are playing the poms or the banindians I will barrack against an 'oz' team make up mainly of over rated spivs and mr snickits...should the NSP move on and drop haddit, snickit and fleas (each of whom played key roles in our ashes defeat) I would revise my position...domestic cricket remains far more interesting

will make the comp interesting, tho it is really doubtful that it will lead to fast tracking of development of spinners...it may put a premium on encouraging the quicks to learn to reverse swing the kookaburra ..

I like the limits imposed on representation of players over 23, tho I would like one of those positions to be restricted for potential use by a spinner given their slower development...Holland is one of the few under 23 yo spinners around who is on the cusp of 1st class selection.

james pattinson (ozzie patto) 19 yo brother of pommie patto is a late callup for the Vix team for the 2020 champs league...good experience for him...he is an express quick who will undoubtedly struggle to come to terms with the banindian autobahns.

Yep, Wright is injured.

Tassie are doing ok in the warmup games. Thumped the Sozzies Dubbers & Qbillies & split the points with the Vossies in recent limited over games.

....and Crazy has been taking wickets AND scoring runs but i'm sure the national selectors will adopt their dark glasses & white canes to that fact. Rolling Eyes

New season under way with a Franger Cup match at the WACA.

New white ball from each end this summer...excellent idea. Should do it in ODIs.

QBillies in a bit of strife, 2/11 in the 7th.
