Cmon QLD destroy the Victorians

 

[Collingwood Storm]

3rd time this season NSW and SA play a dead rubber in the last match.

 

[aussies1st]

Time to give SA a downright flogging for making this match a dead rubber.

 

[Seagullsrock]

Whoever wins the toss must bat first at the Gabba. Beautiful conditions here this morning and rain/storms predicted tonight and over the following days.

 

[Seagullsrock]

Potentiall some very strange decisions at the Gabba. Qld have won the toss and elected to bowl. We've picked a young leggie over an outswinger and WA have left out Mitch Marsh.

 

[beads6]

Best chance of an outright if you bowl first and roll them at the Gabba.. Also wicket would be still quite green + it was humid last night and it would be steamy at the gabba today no doubt. Good to see they have given the young spinner a run though.

 

[Seagullsrock]

WA 2/16. North gone. Don't think it matters what you do against WA. Geez they are ordinary.

 

[Collingwood Storm]

Delaying the test squad selection may have just hurt him even more now.

 

[Twizzle]

If I know our selectors, they'll still pick him.

They'll refer us to his test form in order to justify their spineless decision.

 

[aussies1st]

Selectors would have picked the squad already so lucky for North this latest failure won't count. And lucky for Hughes this minor blimp won't be taken into account.

 

[aussies1st]

Katich form is becoming a worry, 7 ball duck. Over to our form batsmen in Khawaja, Forrest and Smith.

 

[Collingwood Storm]

Smith, Hughes and North all in test squad.

 

[Collingwood Storm]

cricket australia site is stuffed, Tassie were 3/46 @ lunch and it has them currently 3/45

 

[Seagullsrock]

WA 4/177. Johnston and Pomersbach smashing them around. Silly decision to bowl.

[aussies1st]

100 for Khawaja go you good thing Forrest a good 70 as well. And Smith now into the 40s.

 

[Twizzle]

Khawaja should be our next test debutant, plus he's a bluebagger so its a given
