Cricket Crap

I think Davey has based his cricket career and personality on the Warwick Todd diaries.

Test discard Matthew Renshaw blasted a record triple century in the Queensland Premier Cricket competition on Saturday.


Playing for Toombul, the 11-Test opener blasted 345 from 273 balls against Wynnum/Manly.

His record knock included 38 four and 12 sixes to eclipse former Queensland opener Wade Townsend's 311 not out in 2009/10 season as the highest-ever score in the competition’s history.

The 22-year-old was left out of Australia’s squad announced last month for the first two Tests against India.

Now if Renshaw can do that in a shield game he'll catch the selectors eye again. Getting out for 2's and 10's ain't what they're looking for.

He's a talent and I hope he keeps at it and improving.

It's not going to help him be picked for Australia but at least it shows he must still have some sort of form. Perhaps just getting a good ball early in Shield.

Hopefully he can get some runs for QLD now.

Wadey bowls and keeps to his own 160ks plus thunderbolts.

I smashed a ton in the backyard the other day. Only got out when I hit the neighbours window on the full. Get me straight in the side.

Was it in the Marsh's backyard?

He should be there over Finch but know what you are saying.

Well yeah Renshaw over Finch. Even Burns is quietly putting together a pretty good season I'd pick him.

Renshaw at least has patience, something the other flogs lack

The big issues are being tackled by cricket Australia:

A backyard-cricket-style bat flip will replace the coin toss in the Big Bash League (BBL) to decide which captain has choice of batting or bowling first.
In a move sure to rile traditionalists, the decision between "hills" or "flats" will usurp the customary captain's call of "heads" or "tails" when season eight of the BBL begins on December 19.

The BBL has a reputation for innovation, led by the use of Zings stumps which illuminate when the bails are dislodged, and now a bat flip will replace one of cricket's greatest customs.

"For me it's a great moment which reflects what BBL is about," Cricket Australia's head of the Big Bash League, Kim McConnie, said.

Cricket's coin toss has been a topic of discussion in recent years with some suggesting it should be scrapped in favour of allowing the visiting team the decision to bat or bowl first.

Although the flip will bring a different look, the philosophy behind the toss remains unchanged, but the new method raises questions over the fairness of the process.

The call of "hills" remains a favourite in the backyard due to the natural tendency of the bat to rest with the "flats" side on the ground.

Ms McConnie said the bat used for the flip had been modified to promote an even result


Ms McConnie expected the new process to have its detractors but was more excited to see how it energised the start of a match.


"Some people don't like change but I'd also challenge people to say when was the last time anyone watched the coin toss or really focused on it to a great extent?" she said.

"Now we are making it much more relevant to families, we are creating a moment which is much more fitting with kids."

Brisbane Heat's new captain Chris Lynn will become the first hosting skipper to conduct the flip when his team plays reigning champions Adelaide Strikers in the BBL season opener at the Gabba on December 19

That's just f**king embarrassing... Is there anyone employed at CA with a clue about anything at all?? You would have thought when they got rid of self-serving out of touch flogs like Sutherland and his cronies that someone with talent might emerge... Talent in the admin ranks at CA looks about as scarce as talent in our top order...

 

[typicalfan]

Can we push for one hand one bounce as well. Innovation

LOL

Am waiting for

“we feel now 4-5 thousand more people will attend each match, and as much as a million more per match will tune in to the coverage cause of this once in a lifetime brilliant initiative we are implementing”

I guess, if they are gonna be pathetic, do it all in this format

[Bazal]

"So, lads. Now that we've got rid of Sutherland and Howard and received the results of our cultural review, how should we go about undoing the damage and fixing the deep institutional, organisational, and administrative issues that have resulted in the weakest Australian male cricket sides in history?"

.....

.....

"Bat flip?"

"....f**k. Yes!"

 

[JJ]

Guess 6 and out won't fly...

 

[roofromoz]

Next season - no more golden ducks as you can't get out on the first ball.

 

[jargan83]

That is f**king ridiculous.

Electric wicky next.
