[the_insider]

Also, what won't help Burnie/Yeoman is the fact that their main strike bowler and captain Aaron McCall has been suspended for 4 matches for abusing and disputing an umpires decision. Certainly a major blow to the Emu's chances (or remote chances) of finals action.

 

[WynyardCat]

And given what Buckingham, Walker, China Young and a few others used to get away with on a weekly basis, young McCall must wish he'd been playing a decade ago.

Westbury 2nd inns 0/25

** The Examiner reckons it was a "perfect wicket" at Westbury.

Outrights look the order of the day, Launceston should skittle G/Town outright reasonably quickly, Mowbray could rattle Riverside ahead of the Semis, and Westbury v South is line ball, despite Westbury claiming 1st Innings points.

Oh and WynyardCat, I was at the Westbury/South game, wicket was fine, just that no-one really knew how to bat on it!

 

[kenrosewall]

Interesting to see the call-up for Chris Duval to the Tassie squad for the upcoming Ford Ranger Cup match against SA on Wednesday. Krejza and Wade have also been added. I thought Divin or the great man Alex Doolan may have been called in. Perhaps greater selection awaits Doolan.

Dan Marsh, the Tasmania captain, will be out of action for three weeks after tearing his calf muscle on the weekend. George Bailey will lead Tasmania for their last limited-overs match in 2006-07, against South Australia at Adelaide on Wednesday.
Marsh, who hurt his leg taking off for a single during the Tigers' loss to Victoria on Saturday, is likely to miss at least one of Tasmania's two remaining Pura Cup matches. However, Tim Coyle, the Tasmania coach, conceded it could be a season-ending injury.
"It is a calf injury that we think is three weeks," Coyle told the Sunday Tasmanian. "Three weeks should be a really good turnaround, but they are really big calf muscles, they take a bit of repairing. He is feeling pretty good at the moment. He thought he had done something pretty serious, but it looks OK."
The Tigers have included Chris Duval, the fast bowler and Matthew Wade, the uncapped batsman, in their 13-man squad. Jason Krejza, who transferred from New South Wales mid-season, is also in with a chance of his first game for his new state.
South Australia recalled Mark Cleary to replace Shaun Tait, who is in New Zealand with the Australia one-day team. Neither the Redbacks nor the Tigers can make the Ford Ranger Cup final, which will be between Victoria and Queensland on February 25.

They should try something completely different for this match. How does this look.

Birt
Diva
Bailey (C)
Paine (WK)
Wade
Dighton
Krejza
Butterworth
Doherty
Duval
Hilfenhaus

I think Birt's best spot in the one day side is at the top. Bails at 3 to see just how good of form he's in. Paine at 4 to steady the ship. Dighton with a licence to slog at 6. Get plenty of overs out of X and Krejza.

 

[kenrosewall]

Yeah, I don't mind it OH.

Bowling could be a little inexperienced (and susceptible if the spinners go for a few early) with Hilfy playing as the veteran, but I like the look of the batting line-up. Birt should definately open, and I would love to see Bails have a decent stay at the crease in a one-dayer.

Doolan should be 12th man

 

[kenrosewall]

Birt (25)
Diva (33)
Bailey (24)
Paine (22)
Wade (19)
Dighton (30)
Krejza (24)
Butterworth (23)
Doherty (24)
Duval (23)
Hilfenhaus (23)

Also, check out the age of that side (Average age of 24.5) - nice mix I reckon. 7 Tasmanians as well. Not a bad looking team as per below:

[onlyhandball]

Good looking group - pretty oridnary looking do that Krejza is sporting.

 

[kenrosewall]

Not the most attractive bloke. Won't be smashing the Tassie birds unless he shares one thing in common with S Tubb.

TCL A Grade - Round 14

Bishopsbourne 7-240 (D.McNulty 55, A.Taylor 54, D.Stephens 40*, M.Dunn 31, E.Hall 2-33) defeated
Trevallyn 138 (P.Walker 54, D.Stephens 4-31, J.Castle 2-28)

Bishopsbourne take 2nd spot from Trevallyn, by virtue of being the only team able to play last week. Stephens destroyed the top order, as well as batting extremely well at the end.

Hadspen 236 (P.Donohue 88, S.Smith 57, R.Artis 30, G.Petty 27, S.Collier 4-31, S.Woolley 2-36, P.McKay 2-39) defeated
Beaconsfield 7-207 (P.McKay 47, T.Freeman 43*, C.Laskey 32, A.Crosswell 30, G.Davern 2-28, R.Artis 2-33)

Hadspen retain 4th spot, with a gap, and are most likely assured a finals spot

Beauty Point 41 (J.Curtis 8-16 incl. hat-trick) lost to
Legana 0-43 (B.Donaldson 22*)

Beauty Point fell from 0-31 to 41 all out, Curtis following up last games 117 off 38 balls with a magnificent bowling effort. Fair to say he's in form! 7 Beauty Pojnt batsmen scored ducks.

ACL 8-173 (B.Thompson 56, S.Bennett 33, S.Rumbel 2-28, A.Clayton 2-36) defeated
Uni-Mowbray 77 (N.Ferrall 3-14, S.Bennett 3-16)

Uni fall to yet another defeat, having not won a game since Round 3. ACL are likely to fall short of the finals, which they may have had an impact had they got there. Losing the first 5 matches didnt help!


LADDER (Wins-Losses-NR [Pts]) - 3 Rounds remain

Legana 11-1-2 [48]
Bishopsbourne 10-3-1 [42]

Deano is a champion ..and a top bloke to boot ...he may even carry your team to a premiership

wtf is with this Dunn bloke making 31 ...were they bowling underarm or something ?

TCA 1st Grade Results from Day one, Penultimate Round

Kingborough 3/106 (French 51, Clark 39*, Targett 2/17) vs. Sth Hobart Sandy Bay
190 (Duval 55, Doolan 52, Polkinghorne 51, Divin 6/67)
Very evenly poised after day one, Divin firms further into B&F calculations

Lindisfarne 1/50 (Boucher 35*) vs. Glenorchy 189 (Geeves 71, Knight 38, Allenby 4/35, Krezja 3/37)
Upset possible here, Glenorchy's finals charge stuttering after yet another unconvincing batting display!

North Hobart vs. Clarence 8/309 (Wade 117, Harris 95, Stewart 4/71, Millhouse 3/33)
Well, after this round Glenorchy play North Hobart, and that'll decide whether North Hobart qualify for finals action. They have plenty to do after Wade belts another century, chasing possibly 330+ next week

Tasmania University 79 (Cunningham 30, Nosworthy 5/23, Smith 3/17) vs. New Town
105 (Stockdale 30, Bean 5/35, Hoang 4/38) and 5/34 (Roussow 19, Bakes 4/8)
Can someone tell me WTF happened here, did the batsmen have a major dose of sleeping pills injected, or was the pitch doctored?? 25 wickets in a days play is quite unusual...Uni clinging to their finals dream, but needing an outright next week to have any chance of qualifying for finals action.

Insider, do you have the stats for Duval for this season?

Insider, do you have the stats for Duval for this season?

If I did, I'd pop them here, but from what I've seen he's been ordinary. Represented the TCA earlier this year, and was horrible...
Good 50 he made on the weekend to give SHSB a chance of defending 190 though.

Unfortunately he hasn't been selected for his batting. I would have thought Divin would be a better proposition.

I'm aware of that, but I was referring to the bowling, even though he's taken wickets he's bowled like a bucket of dog's droppings on a number of occasions this year.

But give credit where it's due with the bat on Saturday.
