Sheffield Shield 2018/19

Mitch Marsh showing his test quality I see...

 

[Eelectrica]

WA 7/189

Shaun Marsh made 81

As long as he does that in the tests (Plural), no problems. Guess we'll see.
When Ponting retired from test cricket and played the shield season I think he was still one of the leading runs scorers, so scepticism is warranted.

Scepticism is very warranted where it applies to a Marsh brother.

WA were rolled for 198 so that’s a handy lead for NSW

Darsh the man that can look a million bucks one day and a begger the next

 

[Twizzle]

a million bucks at state level and average at international level, lazy footwork will eventually get found out

NSW 2/114 at lunch, lead of 177.

 

[Twizzle]

Blues went the tonk and got some quick runs down the order.

WA need 317 and are currently in some shit at 5/59, Darsh got a duck

 

[Timbo]

Burns man of the match in the Bulls thumping of the Vics.

He is such a quality player at a time when we’re screaming for an experienced top order bat.

Yep, but apparently someone cast a spell on the poor bloke that makes him invisible to the selectors

 

[aussies1st]

There is the begger Marsh again!
Agree on Burns, how Harris got in over him I'll never know

 

[Twizzle]

Travis Dean with a pair, geez hasn't he fallen from grace

 

[hineyrulz]

How Burns isn’t even in the mix for the first test is one for Ripleys.

 

[Timbo]

Every other day there is an article lamenting that twenty years ago we had a host of high-quality first class cricketers beating down the door when there was an injury and now it's only promising kids and journeymen who average in their mid 30s - he is right bloody there!

100 FC matches, 15 tons, 41 average.

Just pick him!

Did I hear that right that Finch averages around 18 in Shield cricket as opener?

Hopefully he can build on with what he did in the UAE, otherwise you would imagine he won’t make the whole series

A few articles around prior to this round of shield games starting quoting those figures, so the answer to this, according to some of the Victorian media, was to bat him at 3 for this round.

I dont see his test career lasting too long

Finch opening the batting in test cricket is Rock bottom for Australian cricket.

Is it, though?

We've played Glenn Maxwell at three

I think it is, Maxwell is technically sound sadly he is as dumb as a bag of rocks. Finch is technically rubbish, and not much smarter.

 

[jargan83]

Stonis falls for 81 and you'd think any slight chance WA had

WA 8/166

 

[Twizzle]

WA need another 151
