Stobo for Couch and Hardie for Goodwin would be my changes.

Stobo coming off a ton with the bat yesterday too.

Excellent, he can go back to being the number 7 they desperately wanted him to be last season!

Jesus H Christ, did they spray the pitch green or did they forget to mow it? It's the same colour as the lighter outfield strip!

And yet it’s spinning more than anything.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Is Rocchiccioli putting his hand up to succeed Lyon in the Test team? Always seems to return good numbers.

Yes, he's the most like-for-like spinner for Australian conditions, given he bowls with a lot of overspin.

 

[ioppolo]

Mitchell Owen with his annual decent score. Hope that 87 runs for the 9th wicket doesn't bite us in the arse.

 

[Westend]

well Bancroft just throwing away his chance he looks awful

Harris jumping ahead at this stage of the opening spot

fingers crossed Whiteman scores some runs

 

[Beutbrute]

What happened to Cartwright?

 

[Aussie_boy]

Inglis, Peirson and Carey are 3 of the more reliable bats when it comes to Shield cricket.

Missus gave birth

Inglis, Peirson and Carey are 3 of the more reliable bats when it comes to Shield cricket.

Are they tho? Peirson seemed to improve heaps after Inglis/Carey started playing for Aus and both Inglis and Carey’s form seemed to be ip and down bar the last two games

 

[eth-dog]

Peirson is a bit unlucky that he isn't in the Harper/Philippe/Doran age bracket. Would probably be second as a keeper in that group and easily the best bat.

Isn’t that also the same bracket as Inglis? He’s closer to those three in age than Pierson and Carey

He's halfway between the two really. He's 30 IIRC, Peirson 32, Carey 33 and those three are 27.

My comment was more based on gut feel than stats so I could well be wrong. But to me Carey and Inglis give off the impression they're a level above a lot of the domestic cricketers. For others in that category I would have Marcus Harris and Beau Webster.

Inglis is 30 in march and two of those guys are about to turn 28.

Webster defs. Harris and bancroft of before the season. It feels like Inglis and Carey both play like two games a season. In inglis case it felt like he had a massive time between drink when he started playing white ball cricket for Aus.

It feels like a lot the guy’s entrenched in the Aussie side seem to really do well when they come back to the shield side. Before Bison got picked for the Ashes side he had a massive spell without shield cricket and peeled off a massive score on return. Nek minute back in the test side

 

[Gethelred]

Watched most of the final session yesterday.

Whatever else happens, I want Kieran Elliott as a touring bowler for the national side whenever we're about to play India. He's not as quick or as consistent, but he bowls almost over his left shoulder the way Siraj does.

 

[Andronicus]

Why didn't Cartwright come back in after the first wicket today?

He did? At least according to Cricinfo's ball by ball

My Cricinfo says Kelly came in when Connolly got out, and Gannon came in after Inglis. Then randomly changes to Cartwright being in with Gannon. Maybe they were wrong saying Kelly.
