I'd play Fanning and Rocc honestly. With Hardie in the middle order, no need for the 4 fast bowlers.

 

[Hamez]

Did SMarsh retire after the shield final win?

Has a calf injury I believe, won't be back until the BBL

They may want insurance after Paris’ injury scare last match.

Eh. I know he's okay at best but if you're that desperate you can bowl Cartwright as a change bowler.

Huge shield game coming up

Both sides in good form ...good lead up to the first test coming up in perth

 

[BGman]

Bulls lose the toss on a WACA greentop and have to bat.

I can see low first innings scores.

Richo nails Renshaw with a beauty. Big fall from a double ton Renners.

 

[Tugga27]

Qld have got a bloody strong batting line up.

 

[Voice of the G]

Qld have got a bloody strong batting line up.

Where is Bryce Street?

 

[Westend]

good start Jhye

 

[BGman]

How come Marnus opened instead of Ussie?

This will be the most interesting game of the round.

 

[eth-dog]

How come Marnus opened instead of Ussie?

Neither did. Renshaw and Burns did.

 

[KBLT]

Aaron Hardie is looking like Cam Green lite.

In a good way.

 

[BGman]

good start Jhye

5 maidens off his first six overs. He has to stay fit in case a position comes up in our Test attack.

 

[BGman]

Aaron Hardie is looking like Cam Green

Imagine two all rounders of their calibre in our Test team.

 

[Tugga27]

Hoping the dismissals appear on the CA website soon.

They are there now

 

[kane249]

Usman the only one putting up good resistance, get him out and we could be batting before the end of today.

 

[toml]

Clayton needs a spell back in grade cricket/2nd XI, looked the goods in his first 2 matches but has failed ever since. Don't really see an issue with us bringing Street back even if he bats at 5.

 

[BGman]

Hoping the dismissals appear on the CA website soon.

Most are up now.

Bulls with a very long tail. Not sure why Wildermuth has been all but abandoned.

I'd have one of Burns/Renshaw in at 5, Street opening

Renshaw
Street
Labuschagne
Khawaja
Burns

Wildermuth averaged 9 with the bat last season

Renshaw
Street
Labuschagne
Khawaja
Burns

Yeh, that's exactly what I would like to see, just not sure it will happen.

 

[BGman]

Wildermuth averaged 9 with the bat last season

I guess that is good reason to give him some time away to refind his form. Agree about Street.. he also had a down season but he has that ability to bat time by blocking out all distractions. Perhaps needs to improve technically if he is to make the next step. Would Renners have asked to return to opener?
