i doubt it ... i think he'll be on the plane if he gets through this match fine ... with nathan hauritz as his competition he's got nothing to worry about

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

It must've been like a bloody oven in the MCG today.

When I saw the Big Bash Final it was the first I'd seen of Bryce McGain and it looked to me as he still had a few cob webs to blow out. Mind you it was hard to judge from just 4 overs.

Also is Nick Jewell only a 4 day player?

 

[eddiesmith]

Yeah it was quite bad at the G, couldnt imagine what it would have been like to have been in the middle all day, I am just happy it was at the G with plenty of cooler areas to relax, especially when the change moved in after tea, but if it had been the Junktion Oval! :shock:

Yeah Nick is only a 4 day player, can seem attacking in the 4 day stuff, but I dont think they see him as attacking enough for 1 day cricket, although he is trying to make himself an all rounder giving himself the most overs each week at district level, takes wickets too

 

[Collingwood Storm]

Got to 45 yesterday before a 'cool' change got it down to the low 30s at about 5pm.

Jewell has been consistent for a couple of seasons now, this is his level though. He is also the last of a dieing breed of professional footballers becoming cricketers.

Vics now 7/350

Not sure why they declared, the 9th wicket fell then the #11 faced one ball, with 4 balls left in an over and then they pulled the pin.
