Ross will play I'd imagine, probably over Pope. Would be good to see Pope get a game but I don't think he will. Pretty weak side but will be good to see who stands up.

You should see ours.

Jon Holland will take 10 against us like he always seems to.

Mennie
Sayers

Winter

Don't think we'll play a spinner. Just Cooper and Smith's part-time offies. Instead 4th pace bowler Winter, left arm quick to hopefully swing the Duke ball around.

Pope would have to play a Future's League game you'd think before he got a look at a Shield game

 

[Aussie_boy]

Would've thought Tommy C would captain before Lehmann.

Is Ferg 100% out anyway?

Cooper would likely have been out of the team had Ferguson or Head been available. They won't make him captain IMO if he's on the verge of being dropped, even though he's the most experienced.

Yep Ferguson out.

Looks like it'll be

Dalton
Weatherald
Smith
Lehmann
Ross
Cooper
Nielsen
Mennie
Sayers
Worrall
Winter or Andrews

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

I was wrong. Looks like Cooper is captain

 

[jackess]

I wonder if the Redbacks would be a good new home for D'Arcy Short to get more experience in first class cricket.

Would replace Dalton as an opener and would be a handy 5th bowler.

Short has resigned with Hobart for a further 2 seasons though.

Short has resigned with Hobart for a further 2 seasons though.

That's for BBL isn't it?

 

[Aussie_boy]

I was thinking that Short would fit into the side pretty nicely as well. Would provide as much with the ball as Zampa.

It is but I doubt he will bother leaving Tasmania for a Shield spot- otherwise he’ just not resign with Hobart. He is likely to get opportunities in Tasmania in Shield cricket anyway

We plays shield cricket for WA

Funny that, given that he’s contracted with WA.

Wut

I'm hearing that Ferguson will be fit for our next game. Still no Head, Zampa, Carey or Richardson.

Which batter makes way? Dalton has found it tough this season. Only two half centuries in 6 games. Time for a break? Kelvin Smith made a truckload of runs to force his way in but looked woeful in this game. I know it's tough early against the Duke ball but he looked extremely scratchy in both innings.

Ross got 49 in the second dig. Think he'd stay in the middle order and Ferguson would slot in at three, with either Dalton or Smith to make way.

We really missed not having a genuine spinner on Day 4. I'm not sure Cormack or Andrews are the answer though. Really hope that O'Connell or Pope (or both?) get a chance in the Futures League game next week. Need to fast-track them - within reason, can't throw them to the wolves - but our attack seems a bit one dimensional.

Can we go to the SCG with four quicks? Surely not. Winter was impressive. Sayers and Mennie lacked their usual penetration. Perhaps both Smith and Dalton will make way, Andrews plays as well as the four quicks. Nielsen at 6, Andrews at 7.

Weatherald
Cooper
Ferguson
Lehmann
Ross
Nielsen
Andrews
Mennie
Sayers
Worrall
Winter

 

[LukeParkerno1]

You’d almost need 2 spinners let alone not playing 1. Think NSW would play 2

 

[Aussie_boy]

Throw Pope in I reckon, stuff it. Andrews just never looks dangerous.

 

[jackess]

With Fergie back do we persist with Cooper?

Dalton should probably be first to make way but Cooper didn't do a lot last game to show he's turned his form around.

 

[Chuckie357]

Andrews is too tall for a spinner

 

[Moonwatcher]

Jake Lehmann made 83 and 19. Another match where he let an opportunity to play a crucial role with second innings runs goes begging. Does anyone know his average by innings?
