Bancroft has scored some runs, so he's already ahead of his first game

His wife is about to have a baby so he retired not out. Obviously not coming back this arvo but hopefully he can continue tomorrow.
Didn't think you could resume once you retired.

Yeah you’re probably right.
Wonder if Ashton Turner can get back in soon. Scored 101* and 74 for the second XI and 64* off 45 in the magoos (plus took 4 wickets while bowling).
Elsewhere in the magoos, Wyllie scored 98* and Stobo scored 106 and took 3 wickets. Probably some opportunities to open up next round when a few guys are lost to international duties.

Head to open. Perfect replacement for Warner, opens in white ball and much prefers starting against the quicks. Plays his shots which means Ussie can take his time.
Harris has surely been labeled 'never again'. Liability in the field too.

Well done Spaceclef. At least I never induced a frickin' birth with my posts. Jeez!!

The rule apparently is that Cartwright can bat again because he retired due to unavoidable circumstances, or some such wording. Seems a bit weird, but there it is.

So which middle order bat from the Shield comes into Heads existing spot ?

I think our options for the middle order are more deserving. Maybe a Webster or Hardie at 7 (Carey to 6), I don't mind either. Handy with Green out and (let's be honest) Marsh shouldn't be bowling too much either.
Smith back to 4 really solidifies the middle order so I feel the change would be fine.
Ollie Davies I'd love to have around the squad at some stage but probably too early.
I’ve induced a few pregnancies with my posts tbh
No wonder he was having a slog!

If they weren't so in love with All-rounders playing Inglis as a batsman could have been an option
Honestly thought they would do that with a fit greenie Carbine...head to open..but with green dog injured not now
but at this stage looks like a bat off for the opening slot ....still some time to go...but at this stage with bangers in woeful form Harris slightly ahead
But if you want to throw a curve ball in it.....and they do say they want the best six batters regardless where they bat.....inglis could be a chance.......marnus to open with usman smudge three head four Inglis 5 mitch 6....I know it sounds out there but stranger things have happened....like smudge opening...and if josh keeps making runs.....
I had this thought about Inglis before. He’s in ripping form.
On the game really impressed with Connolly. He’s not his fluent self but he’s read the game well & hasn’t thrown his wicket away. Important innings

Bancroft. Wat r U doing?
Pair backed up by a look like shit, duck into a length ball and go out fencing at a nothing ball 8.
Smith will be forced to open the way the candidates are going so far in the shield.
Tassie showed some fight. Need the current partnership to pile them on tomorrow.
Congrats to our retiree. I saw that he can return to the crease with permission from the umpire and the Tassie captain. Let's hope all is well with mum and bub and Cartwright can add to his tally when required.

Connoly definitely one for the future if he can maintain his trajectory.
Think it's up to the match referee.
Not sue if the opposing captain has a say also.
You'd be thinking the baby was premature, otherwise hard to see him getting picked for this game.
I wonder if Head is keen to open in tests? Much more comfortable with someone like Beau Webster coming in to fit in Green's role (plus he can bowl more than Green) rather than one of our tried and failed openers.

I've got a feeling that Marnus is going to get a few overs of medium pace this summer.
Isn't the worst option tbh but it does feel like CA are doing anything they can to avoid bringing in Webster.
