Redbacks 2018/19

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Cooper was our best batsman last year. Would be a big call.

He copped s decent cherry in the 1st innings and perhaps the most bullshit decision I've ever seen in the 2nd.

Don't mind the thinking about Valente though. Plus it helps keep our quicks fit and fresh for a long season.

Perhaps Lehmann is the one under pressure? Or Head?

He still only averaged 38, not really setting the world on fire. That decision was perplexing, what was even more mind-boggling was that Tom Cooper just walked off. How exactly can you edge a full toss to first slip? Common sense says you can't.

Neither Lehmann or Head fill me with much confidence but they deserve a chance to turn it around. Both need to be told that they're playing 4 day cricket, they just need to play themselves in.

If it's out of Lehman and Head then Lehman is the one to out. It's onlymone innings but geez he did not want to get anywhere near that one from Starc that knocked him over in the second dig

Not a bad idea to be honest. Gives Carey the chance to put himself in the shop window

Dalton
Weatherald
Ferguson
Head
Lehmann
Carey
Valente
Mennie
Zampa
Richardson
Sayers

Probably a couple of weeks away. They leave it pretty late usually. Allow the squad to play a few one day and T20 matches.

 

[TommyD13]

We have a really good group of young batsmen coming through. We have Kyle Brazzel, Josh Hoffman and Tom Kelly. We also have Llyod Pope coming along nicely. Wonder why not too many fast bowlers are coming though though??

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Personally I think they don't pick enough raw, tall quicks in their squads. Right from the youngest age groups.

Winning carnivals you want accurate spinners and reliable, durable, accurate medium pacers.

Quicks who get bounce and spray them occasionally go for runs.

Young quicks are almost project players, like ruckman/key forwards at AFL level. Very speculative. Risky. Need more work.

 

[eth-dog]

Wouldn't Ferguson be the one most likely? His second half of last year was pretty poor.

Coz he's been in better form in the games played so far this season

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

That's the trouble - most of those middle order guys are similar. Having a run of outs at times with a few scores in between to keep their spot and their mid-30 average.

Not doing well enough to regularly impact games and push for higher honours, not missing out often enough to be dropped.

And all line-ball so there's no obvious candidate to be first out.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Unchanged 12 for the MCG.

Any chance Richardson comes in? The bowlers did well last game so think we'd go with the same attack.

 

[jackess]

I’d rather bring in Richardson than Valente then push Mennie to 7 and Zampa to 8.

 

[eth-dog]

Valente 8.5-6-8-3 in the second dig of the FL game.

 

[Aussie_boy]

Jake Winter will play FC cricket sooner rather than later, possibly 2 games time if Dalton has another couple of low scores.

Dalton just got 70 odd vs Starc, Lyon and Cummins in his 3rd game. Would hope he's not teetering on the edge

Same here but can't see them dropping any of the others.

Lehmann for Australia!

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Unchanged 12 for Perth. Surely Richardson comes in though? Zampa struggled on the MCG and you'd think it would be even worse in Perth.

Big game. We played well vs Vic but still no points to show for it. Need to get on the board.

Decent run chase for the Futures team today, knocked off 380 four wickets down. Hundreds to Smith and Ross. Didn't bowl them out in either innings so an outright win feels a bit strange.

 

[Aussie_boy]

Yeah Richo surely gets given his chance.

 

[Bob Neil]

What about this Wakim bloke that's got three hundreds in four digs in grade cricket?

My mistake.
