State Victoria - The Mighty Bushrangers

How does Seymour lose his contract

How does Seymour lose his contract

because he's not Travis Dean

How does Seymour lose his contract

Ridiculous how he has been treated by Victoria

 

[eth-dog]

Seymour and Dean essentially occupy the same position in CV. Late 20's/early 30's opening bat who probably isn't in the best XI. Seymour had his early ton but did nothing else, and Dean made tons late and made it his contract.

How does M.Harvey take a contract though, he wont ever be a viable First Class option and averages 20 in One Dayers.

Seb Gotch having to retire due to his finger injury is a bit sad.

Finch is a bigger head scratcher

 

[CrazyJoeFevola]

Love Patto sticking around!

Also, Todd Murphy can seriously bowl. Seriously gives it a rip for an off-spinner, really classical action that generates a lot of drift and bounce even when the deck isn't turning. One to watch and I'm glad he's been give the Aus A nod.

 

[eth-dog]

I'm wondering whether or not we go with two spinners for 7 of the 10 games. Set up our pitches for spin and use Murphy and Parker as much as possible.

How on earth do Finch and Maxwell retain contracts? Neither play red ball cricket anymore?

Both are both CA contracted and we're their home state

happy for them to have Nasho contracts to play white ball cricket.

I do not see why we should offer contracts to whitte ball players

Why wouldn't we give them a contract? It literally costs CV nothing as they're nationally contracted players and CA pay their contract and match payments for Victoria.

If we don't give them said contract, they go to one of the other states and the only difference will be that they play against us rather than for us.

There is no Dan Christian to take his spot

 

[eddiesmith]

Yeah definitely mind boggling why Victoria would want to keep the only 2 batsman in the state good enough to play for their country

 

[Art Vandelay_]

 

[eth-dog]

Unsurprising given how little our Aussie players actually play.

 

[Perty4]

For those who haven't been following his exploits up in Darwin, rookie listed bat Ash Chandrasinghe made 5 consecutive hundreds for Waratah. Back to back 600 run seasons in Vic and 700 run seasons in Darwin, looks a good prospect

Pucovski 95no on day 2 of the 2nd XI game against NSW Metro (Gilkes tonned up for them yesterday) ; Vics on top comfortably MyCricket: MyCricket:

Qld going well against Tassie, Heazlett unbeaten hundred and Tas 6 down MyCricket: MyCricket:

 

[11kgm]

Good to see Chandrasinghe amongst the runs, would love to see him take an openers spot

Puc
Chandrasinghe
Harris
Maddinson
Handscomb

[eth-dog]

McClure and Parker bowling well is handy. Interesting that Dean didn't open the batting, opting for Chandrasinghe instead. Probably ends up like:

Puck
Chandrasinghe
Dean
Merlo
Kellaway
Harper
O'Neill
O'Connell
Perry
Parker
Elliott

As the bats. Strong 11. Much stronger than the NSW side so this is probably expected.

 

[toml]

Good to see most sides putting out some strong 2nd XI sides prior to the shield season. The Cricket Australia youtube has been streaming the NSW Vic match too, would love to see more streams of these matches.

 

[eth-dog]

The deck must be incredibly average for there to be 480 runs in about 200 overs, especially with only 10 wickets take

Thinking of going to the public holiday Friday Marsh Cup game.
How the **** do I get to the Junction after getting into Southern Cross?
