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

Stobo coming off a ton with the bat yesterday too.

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.

What happened to Cartwright?

Missus gave birth

 

[THE A5]

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.
