Sheffield Shield: Round 9

[aussies1st]

Is Katich injured or just resting?

Think hes just resting although he could use some form.

 

[beads6]

Smith with another Ton I really think his form warrants selections at number 6 for Australia in the Tests in New Zealand!

 

[beads6]

Also the Bulls not piss Chris Simpson off from the Shield games he really does nothing..

Go Smith Like Hughes he produces these knocks when it counts most.

 

[big pat]

smith out for 177, 20 fours, 5 sixes, blues 6/468.

When a Test squad is about to be selected! Rogers, Dussey, Klinger, all failed in their 1st innings.

Dude it rained for 3 days straight from Monday through to Wednesday I think they did well to get a wicket ready at all.

 

[fish eel]

I can't see Smith being good enough to be selected as a bowler for Australia for another 2 years at least. He is good enough to be selected as a batsman though.

at no 6, and he can be a back up spinner

Yeah for sure, I would be very cautios in picking him as a front line spinner just yet.

Is Copeland the find of the summer? Another 4 today. He sure does know how to bag scalps.

question is why did it take so long for the blues to pick him. Instead of having that Nuffie Moises opening the bowling they could have had Copeland for the whole season.

 

[aussies1st]

Who knows but that man has now locked his spot in. Lucky Lee retired from Tests and he might have even struggled to make NSW's team with Clark, Hazelwood, Starc and Copeland.

And we have another contender that hasn't pushed his claim in Bailey, not as easy as Hughes, Smith and Jaques have made it out to be.

 

[Red Bear]

Well done Copeland.

Nice of the selectors to start picking balanced sides after we are out of contention (I believe Qld getting first inning points ruled us out).

Shouldnt have expected a great season, we were threadbare for much of the year experience wise (although have seen some good progress in some very, very talented players in Hazlewood, Copeland and S Smith). We'll just keep producing test cricketers, it's what we do.

 

[aussies1st]

Smith further enhances his claim with 3 wickets. No more now Smithy, leave that last one for Copeland
