+x+xYou heard anything from Mike? We welcomed him back here but seems he refused the offer. No. Mike has disappeared before for lengthy periods. Hope he comes back. Quite a few others seem to have stopped posting too. Yes.. odd nothing from KW specially.

+x+xWhat a game at Bellerive! Tasmania won in the second last over of the day. WA were 9-189 and their last wicket partnership from Paris 93 and Mackin (not many runs) of 60 odd runs had the home team chasing 240ish to win. I think Tas had to score 4.2 runs per over for about 60 odd overs. Tas's top five batters in the second innings got out due to poor concentration whilst being in good form, Doolan 20, Wakim 7; or looked hopelessly out of form, Silk 0, Doran 62 from 100 balls, McDermott, 40 odd from about 100 balls. Then late in the innings the very in form Paine, 45 from 55 balls, and even more in form Webster, 30 runs from 18 balls, destroyed the WA attack and won the game, featuring some scintillating stroke play. Both hit some big sixes. Doran looked hopelessly out of form. He somehow survived his first 20 odd balls, very luckily, to improve and play some good square of the wicket shots and one superb straight drive. McDermott played a few decent shots, but was tied down by tight bowling from Paris in particular, Kelly and Moody. When Paine came in at six it looked like a different pitch and a different attack. Also, after the Tassie attack destroyed WA at 9 -189, the impressive Paris didn't look like getting out against Tas. He was ably supported by Simon Mackin ay number 11. Then Ellis bowled Paris with the new ball , taking 6 wickets for the innings. Ellis took about 9 wickets for the match, and Rainbird about 6 wickets. When we looked at the Tas averages for their Shield careers, and this season, they were abominable. Doolan had 44 for the season and Paine 38, but the rest of the top 6 averaged from the low thirties to the teens. It was amazing Tas scored enough runs to win! Right at this moment, Beau Webster is easily the best batter in the country outside the Test team. In two innings in this game he scored 216 runs for once out from 205 balls! For WA there were three very impressive players. Green - 150 NO and 45. Given he is only 20, looks like a future Test player. Plus he can bowl pace. Philippe - two solid half centuries, and outside Paine and Webster the only batter with a strike rate easily higher than 50, while the rest struggled to break 50. Philippe kept wickets tidily too. At 22 years of age could be destined for higher honours, apart from Inglis being rated above him as WA keeper. Paris - 7 wickets for the match and a superb 92 in the second innings batting at number 8. He bowled very tightly when he needed to in the second innings, extracting swing and movement off the pitch, similar to Tasmania's Rainbird. Both are left armers, but Rainbird is decidedly quicker. The difference was Paris bowled more tightly. Rainbird strayed on the right hand batters' leg side more often and sent down too many misdirected bouncers. For Tas, Ellis and Rainbird starred with the ball. Ellis gained movement and threatened most of the time. Webster played the best innings I've ever seen in the Shield at Bellerive or the former Tas HQ at the TCA. Paine captained the team superbly, batting aggressively and authoritatively. His main issue is he is a compulsive hooker and puller - no matter how many fielders are placed at deep backward leg, deep square leg and deep mid wicket. Conversely, Marsh's tactics were baffling at times. Also, one could hear Paine's voice booming around the ground directing his team, whilst Marsh's body language was not one of an incumbent captain. Marsh was not the only former Test cricketer to fail for WA. Bancroft was also also dismissed cheaply. The only disappointment, was no team chose a frontline spinner. In reflection WA choosing five fast bowlers, could have lost them the game. Webster bowled some tight finger spin for Tas. DC did I get it spot when I called for Nathan Ellis to play red ball cricket sooner rather than later. What a debut.. nine wickets and almost all were bowled, LB or in the catching cordon. Superb stuff. He is one of my stars of the round. Others are a rejuvenated Beau Webster, Trent Copeland, Cameron Green, Joel Paris and Joe Burns. A special mention to Josh Philippe who is finally discovering patience. Ellis's debut was incredible! The star of the round though, if not the Shield season, was Beau Webster IMO. Who in the history of Aus cricket has scored 216 runs in two innings, for only once out, off only 205 balls in Shield history in one game? Philippe is interesting. He is not the incumbent WA keeper, yet kept well, and batted superbly. He needs to be keeping on a regular basis. Inglis is considered better in WA. Philippe could move to Tas, as second keeper behind Paine, who will be away on Test duties most of the time. With the weak Tas batting line up ATM, Philippe could bat as a specialist batter for Tas. If they are ever all fit at the same time, WA also have to decide amongst Marsh, Green and Stoinis as their pace bowling all rounders.

Was it you dressed in black looking thru the binocs DC? You have said about all there is to say... except that Tassie almost blew it by failing to dislodge Paris and Mackin earlier. Have to try and remember what I was wearing? It was cool on the last two days, so I wasn't wearing the usual shorts. I did look through the binoculars quite a bit. I was with quite a few people you met. It was incredible live, particularly when one's team won such a close, hard fought encounter.

One lowlight this round was that we could only see two specialist spinners playing for the entire six state teams playing.
Lyon NSW , and Pope SA, were the only specialist spinners selected.
Where was Holland Victoria?
I think Swepson is in South A playing white ball cricket.
A couple of mates in TCA Members perceive this massive problem in Aus cricket, few spinners play on spin friendly tracks. Most seem to think we will miraculously do well in the Subcontinent, namely Bangladesh, when we will play on turning tracks.
Our batters rarely face specialist spin in the Shield and rarely on turning pitches.
Our spinners don't play much FC cricket, yet they will be expected to step up to Test cricket in unfamiliar conditions in Bangladesh.
There is so much international cricket being played for limited overs, or BBL, many players are hardly playing any FC cricket in the Aus FC season. The only current Test players playing in this current round of Shield are Burns, Head, Lyon and Paine.

What a game at Bellerive!
Tasmania won in the second last over of the day.
WA were 9-189 and their last wicket partnership from Paris 93 and Mackin (not many runs) of 60 odd runs had the home team chasing 240ish to win. I think Tas had to score 4.2 runs per over for about 60 odd overs.
Tas's top five batters in the second innings got out due to poor concentration whilst being in good form, Doolan 20, Wakim 7; or looked hopelessly out of form, Silk 0, Doran 62 from 100 balls, McDermott, 40 odd from about 100 balls.
Then late in the innings the very in form Paine, 45 from 55 balls, and even more in form Webster, 30 runs from 18 balls, destroyed the WA attack and won the game, featuring some scintillating stroke play. Both hit some big sixes.
Doran looked hopelessly out of form. He somehow survived his first 20 odd balls, very luckily, to improve and play some good square of the wicket shots and one superb straight drive.
McDermott played a few decent shots, but was tied down by tight bowling from Paris in particular, Kelly and Moody. When Paine came in at six it looked like a different pitch and a different attack.
Also, after the Tassie attack destroyed WA at 9 -189, the impressive Paris didn't look like getting out against Tas. He was ably supported by Simon Mackin ay number 11. Then Ellis bowled Paris with the new ball , taking 6 wickets for the innings. Ellis took about 9 wickets for the match, and Rainbird about 6 wickets.
When we looked at the Tas averages for their Shield careers, and this season, they were abominable. Doolan had 44 for the season and Paine 38, but the rest of the top 6 averaged from the low thirties to the teens. It was amazing Tas scored enough runs to win!
Right at this moment, Beau Webster is easily the best batter in the country outside the Test team. In two innings in this game he scored 216 runs for once out from 205 balls!
For WA there were three very impressive players.
Green - 150 NO and 45. Given he is only 20, looks like a future Test player. Plus he can bowl pace.
Philippe - two solid half centuries, and outside Paine and Webster the only batter with a strike rate easily higher than 50, while the rest struggled to break 50. Philippe kept wickets tidily too. At 22 years of age could be destined for higher honours, apart from Inglis being rated above him as WA keeper.
Paris - 7 wickets for the match and a superb 92 in the second innings batting at number 8. He bowled very tightly when he needed to in the second innings, extracting swing and movement off the pitch, similar to Tasmania's Rainbird. Both are left armers, but Rainbird is decidedly quicker. The difference was Paris bowled more tightly. Rainbird strayed on the right hand batters' leg side more often and sent down too many misdirected bouncers.
For Tas, Ellis and Rainbird starred with the ball. Ellis gained movement and threatened most of the time.
Webster played the best innings I've ever seen in the Shield at Bellerive or the former Tas HQ at the TCA.
Paine captained the team superbly, batting aggressively and authoritatively. His main issue is he is a compulsive hooker and puller - no matter how many fielders are placed at deep backward leg, deep square leg and deep mid wicket.
Conversely, Marsh's tactics were baffling at times. Also, one could hear Paine's voice booming around the ground directing his team, whilst Marsh's body language was not one of an incumbent captain.
Marsh was not the only former Test cricketer to fail for WA. Bancroft was also also dismissed cheaply.
The only disappointment, was no team chose a frontline spinner. In reflection WA choosing five fast bowlers, could have lost them the game. Webster bowled some tight finger spin for Tas.

+x+x+x+x+x+xEllis is all enthusiasm.. so much so that he was encroaching on the pitch 'no go zone' and earned the wrath of the umpire. Pleased he has finally made his FC debut. Topped it off with three wickets.. Before he drove to Tassie had he been given a state contract.. or did he just take pot luck? I think Ellis took pot luck. Rainbird picked up 3 scalps. Green batted impressively for his 150 NO. Tas has really let the game slip after having WA 3-43. Charlie Wakim played some superb shots yesterday, but got out for 57 after Moody bounced him with a beauty, then foliowed up with the classic well pitched up ball for an LBW. Paine also played some impressive shots in his 21, but fell for the short ball after having two fielders at deep backward square leg and deep square leg. It was poor shot execution as opposed to poor shot selection. Paine always seems to chase the short ball in the pursuit of runs. It is raining today, with little chance of play until later. One issue is that WA appears to have played a 5 man pace attack. No spinner? Is Agar still playing red ball cricket ATM? Yes this Tassie attack lacks teeth when they have a team down. Missing the pressure building Bird. Agree Tim does get himself out far too often. Agar is taking hat tricks in pyjama/giggler stuff in Safferland DC. Keep Webster where he is. Seems he bats better when not under top 6 pressure Should've said let arm pace bowler, Rainbird, took 5 wickets in the first dig. I thought he swung the ball at pace, but sometimes bowled too much down the leg side to right handed batters. Beau Webster's batting today was the best innings I've ever seen at Bellerive in the Shield! 187 runs off 187 balls is a strike rate of 100! This is red ball cricket we are talking about - not white ball cricket. Webster made these runs piercing an attacking field with slips fielders - and with great score board pressure from WA. He started batting when Tas were 5-139 chasing 370, subsequently reaching 390. Some of his cover drives and off drives were hit so hard and cleanly, the fielders barely moved as the ball went to the fence like a tracer bullet. He also played a shot many batters struggle with, the leg glance, exquisitely, for many boundaries. Moreover, some of Webster's square cuts and late cuts were sublime. He also hooked and pulled with power, plus he hit three huge sixes, including a powerhouse pull for 6 - almost out of the ground. Webster would have made more runs ( probably 230) and an even higher strike rate. However, he refused to take runs when batting with bunnies like Bell and other tailenders, as Webster protected them from the strike. Webster simply annihilated a West Aussie attack after they were right on top when he came to the crease. I think the Sandgropers made a big mistake playing five pace bowlers, and bowled virtually no spin. Then Ellis, Bell and Rainbird cut through the WA batting line up like a knife through butter in the second innings. WA were 3-6 at one stage. WA finished the day with 6-169. Phillippe made a second half century with a strike rate of 90. Few other batters in the game who have made half tons have had a strike rate much over 50. If, and a very big if, Webster bats like this consistently, he walks into the Aus Test team. Plus he bowls handy right arm finger spin. DC you have answered my question about being at the ground yesterday. Mate Webster must have been on the verge of being dropped before his current purple patch. The selectors have pulled a rabbit from the hat moving him to #7 and playing him as a bowling all rounder. He is now batting without pressure and showing why he was a NPS graduate or was it a national U19 rep. Consistency is what he most needs if he is to force his way into the Baggy Greens. Tassie only needs to keep their head and they will wrap up a deserved victory today. I'm worried about Tas's ability to chase a small target and our consistent inconsistency - without Wade. He has played some gritty innings under pressure this year. Silk looks out of form. Doolan got out for 24 - displaying poor concentration again. Doran scored slowly. Wakim looked terrific - playing a patient game like Green and Philippe. He is an elegant batter. He has mainly failed as a Shield batter to date though. McDermott I think averages under 30 at Shield level. Paine looked in very good touch, but got himself out to the hook trap game plan of the opposition - again.

He is now batting without pressure and showing why he was a NPS graduate or was it a national U19 rep. Consistency is what he most needs if he is to force his way into the Baggy Greens. I am preferring Philippe's 50 came from 100 balls DC.. that tells me he is learning patience and a propensity to protect his wicket. He did that in his first innings and looked all quality. I thought Philippe's innings had a strike rate of 90 in the second, and just over 50 in the first. He looked solid.

+x+x+x+x+x+xEllis is all enthusiasm.. so much so that he was encroaching on the pitch 'no go zone' and earned the wrath of the umpire. Pleased he has finally made his FC debut. Topped it off with three wickets.. Before he drove to Tassie had he been given a state contract.. or did he just take pot luck? I think Ellis took pot luck. Rainbird picked up 3 scalps. Green batted impressively for his 150 NO. Tas has really let the game slip after having WA 3-43. Charlie Wakim played some superb shots yesterday, but got out for 57 after Moody bounced him with a beauty, then foliowed up with the classic well pitched up ball for an LBW. Paine also played some impressive shots in his 21, but fell for the short ball after having two fielders at deep backward square leg and deep square leg. It was poor shot execution as opposed to poor shot selection. Paine always seems to chase the short ball in the pursuit of runs. It is raining today, with little chance of play until later. One issue is that WA appears to have played a 5 man pace attack. No spinner? Is Agar still playing red ball cricket ATM? Yes this Tassie attack lacks teeth when they have a team down. Missing the pressure building Bird. Agree Tim does get himself out far too often. Agar is taking hat tricks in pyjama/giggler stuff in Safferland DC. Keep Webster where he is. Seems he bats better when not under top 6 pressure Should've said let arm pace bowler, Rainbird, took 5 wickets in the first dig. I thought he swung the ball at pace, but sometimes bowled too much down the leg side to right handed batters. Beau Webster's batting today was the best innings I've ever seen at Bellerive in the Shield! 187 runs off 187 balls is a strike rate of 100! This is red ball cricket we are talking about - not white ball cricket. Webster made these runs piercing an attacking field with slips fielders - and with great score board pressure from WA. He started batting when Tas were 5-139 chasing 370, subsequently reaching 390. Some of his cover drives and off drives were hit so hard and cleanly, the fielders barely moved as the ball went to the fence like a tracer bullet. He also played a shot many batters struggle with, the leg glance, exquisitely, for many boundaries. Moreover, some of Webster's square cuts and late cuts were sublime. He also hooked and pulled with power, plus he hit three huge sixes, including a powerhouse pull for 6 - almost out of the ground. Webster would have made more runs ( probably 230) and an even higher strike rate. However, he refused to take runs when batting with bunnies like Bell and other tailenders, as Webster protected them from the strike. Webster simply annihilated a West Aussie attack after they were right on top when he came to the crease. I think the Sandgropers made a big mistake playing five pace bowlers, and bowled virtually no spin. Then Ellis, Bell and Rainbird cut through the WA batting line up like a knife through butter in the second innings. WA were 3-6 at one stage. WA finished the day with 6-169. Phillippe made a second half century with a strike rate of 90. Few other batters in the game who have made half tons have had a strike rate much over 50. If, and a very big if, Webster bats like this consistently, he walks into the Aus Test team. Plus he bowls handy right arm finger spin. DC you have answered my question about being at the ground yesterday. Mate Webster must have been on the verge of being dropped before his current purple patch. The selectors have pulled a rabbit from the hat moving him to #7 and playing him as a bowling all rounder. He is now batting without pressure and showing why he was a NPS graduate or was it a national U19 rep. Consistency is what he most needs if he is to force his way into the Baggy Greens. Were you impressed with Cameron Green's first innings dig too? Very impressed with Green - first and second innings. He has patience.

+x+x+x+x+xSangha, Edwards and Ryan Gibson recalled for the Blues. No replacement for Harry Conway tho? Sangha and Edwards both batted very well on a good Bellerive pitch against the English Lions. Blues lost early wickets but by mid arvo they had rebuilt with opener Daniel Hughes completing a fine century while another of Australia's young guns..Matthew Gilkes.. showed his considerable red ball talent. The Tassie bowlers took early advantage of a green Bellerive deck and the swinging Dukes to have WA in early trouble. By mid arvo the teeth had gone out of the attack with youngsters Cameron Green and Josh Philippe putting on a punishing partnership.. Bulls with yet another Gabba toss win on another greentop. Did you go out to the game DC. Looked for you and Peter in the TCA box. There from about 2.30 with Peter and the rest of the TCA boys and girls, Baggers. Green batted impressively for WA, being dismissed for 93 (I think). From the southern end, Rainbird bowled with a bit of pace, swinging it a lot, but sometimes straying on leg side of the right handed batters. Ellis, who drove his car down to Tas to get a game, bowled quite well. I thought, different from others watching, Tas bowled quite well at times, devoid of luck. Pyecroft who has 10 Shield wickets at 28 runs per wicket from 2 games, has just had a knee operation. He hopes to be for next next season. When I left, it was about 5-255. I think WA are slightly on top, recovering well from 3-43. Cameron Green is unconquered on 158 DC. Blokes on WP say it is all hype re him.. As usual I am a lone ranger for him and other promising cricketers. Yes some of the "next big things" crash and burn.. Sangha a prime example, while others.. the exceptional cricketers like Cameron Green survive and prosper. I am exceedingly bouyed by some of the young talent coming thru. I can see us having another 'golden era'' down the track.

Sangha dismissed cheaply today tho DC. The kid just can not get any momentum. Tassie giving WA a hard time on a lively green Bellerive deck. Bulls pacemen enjoying another Gabba greentop. Uncanny how many tosses they win at home. I looked at a few balls on the TV, right behind the bowlers' arms. It was swinging - almost prodigiously. Shame about Sangha. From a national perspective, we need him to fire.

+xSangha, Edwards and Ryan Gibson recalled for the Blues. No replacement for Harry Conway tho? Again there is no mention of this round in the media. I think there is a Shield game starting at Bellerive today. The media is all AFL, women's AFL, and mens and women's Limited Overs cricket.

+x+x+x+x+x+xVICS knock the Blues from the top of the table. Poor showing apart from Solway and Patterson. Where were Lyon and SOK in the second innings to stop Maddinson from murdering us. That is when we lost the contest. Tassie showed some mettle in the second innings but the game was lost after the first innings. Selectors must make changes to both the batting and bowling. Finally Adelaide turned on a contest with a challenging deck to score on. Redbacks were too good in all departments. Player of the round: Nic Maddinson. Tassie doesn’t have the depth to make wholesale changes. Surprised to hear Lyon struggle? Tassie has to find the depth. They have imports to choose from as well as their best performed rookies in SecondX1. For starters I am bringing in Alex Pycroft for the rest of the season.. He impressed you and I DC at Bellerive. Also take a further look at import Lawrence Neil-Smith. Mac Wright and Sean Willis have to come in for Doran and Caleb Jewell. I am also looking for a competent slow bowling all rounder for the inconsistent Beau Webster. What about the youngster Jarrod Freeman.. former NPS scholar if not mistaken. Either that or he played international U19s. Pyecroft did have a good game when you watched him against Vic, but he struggled in the next one. = We were talking about Mac Wright today in the TCA Members. The former cricketers A Grade and First Class, thought he has had his turn and was a failure. I'm not sure about Freeman's recent grade cricket form? Webster scored a 50 in the second dig against Queensland, but is primarily a part time spinner. We were talking about Mac Wright today in the TCA Members. The former cricketers A Grade and First Class, thought he has had his turn and was a failure.
Give the bloke a break. Two matches only after coming from white ball cricket. You need longer to aclimatise to red ball cricket.. the ball.. the pitches.. the pressure. It is a stratosphere from the hurly burly of white ball cricket. The TCA members know this and must cut him some slack.. so must the Cric Tas selectors. Mac has quality.. with a capital Q imho. Apparently, Mac Wright was the top scorer in the Second Eleven game with 40! Nathan Ellis took 6 wickets in the same game. I'm with you though, Baggers. Pyecroft really impressed early in the season. Has Mike gone walkabout again.

Pyecroft did have a good game when you watched him against Vic, but he struggled in the next one. = We were talking about Mac Wright today in the TCA Members. The former cricketers A Grade and First Class, thought he has had his turn and was a failure. I'm not sure about Freeman's recent grade cricket form? Webster scored a 50 in the second dig against Queensland, but is primarily a part time spinner. We were talking about Mac Wright today in the TCA Members.

Give the bloke a break. Two matches only after coming from white ball cricket. You need longer to aclimatise to red ball cricket.. the ball.. the pitches.. the pressure. It is a stratosphere from the hurly burly of white ball cricket. The TCA members know this and must cut him some slack.. so must the Cric Tas selectors. Mac has quality.. with a capital Q imho.
