Does this mean there might be games when its NSW women v SA Men?
What a silly designation that is - have it at the top as a separate thing
Can someone explain the women's Spring Challenge?
I've read that it's to compensate for a shorter WBBL. So they shorten the WBBL, then add a heap of extra matches to make up for it, what am I missing?

Smith not playing So may get to a 3rd day.
Mind you, I know we are garbage, but CA knew test players were going to play the first few rounds, why on earth wasn't it NSW v Vic?
It was supposed to be a state cricket T20 competition originally then the powerbrokers of NSW and Vic whinged about it for some reason (something to do with wanting to play more players) and so it was changed for them into some weird pre-season WBBL tournament.
Basically Cricket NSW & Cricket Victoria trying to rule everyone and being self entitled pricks like they’ve done for 150 years of Australian cricket.
I don't mind Head not being captain. Let him come in and just worry about batting. Let McSweeney settle in.

Find it really interesting that we chose Tim Paine for the coaching possie for the Strikers when Lehmann applied. There has to be more going on there than he had a bad interview, even Melbourne Renegades said no to the coach of last years champs
If they’ve done it to try to get away from the old SACA’s culture I don’t actually mind it especially given Gillespie was there for nearly a decade, Lehmann hasn’t actually been a head coach in a while and has gone off to do media too so maybe the thought is there that this sort of role & all it comes with might be a bit past him.

I think he explored the media after missing out on head coach roles. I get what you mean about moving on from culture, though. I think him basically missing out on HC roles must have a bit to do with him being team coach when we let Davey come up with a plan so cunning...
I don’t think it’s played that big a part I think it’s just more to do with what his coaching methods are or at least perceived to be and whether that matches up with what teams are now looking for especially in franchise cricket, lots of teams looking for next gen coaches and maybe he’s seen as a bit too old-school for what they’re after.

He's not part of the program really so I agree, Captain is the captain.
Really hope Pope had improved, could get absolutely smoked by NSW
Not a bad SACA team though

I feel like someone needs to let Sam Konstas know that centuries against SA don't count

Pope going at 5 an over but taken 3 wickets, fingers crossed he can take the next step in his development

One sipnner going at 6 an over and the other 5 an over isn't the greatest start
Hopefully Travis keeps us in it

We continue to pick strangely unbalanced line ups
3 quicks
2 spinners (one is a decent slogger)
Keeper
5 batters
It always seems like we can't decide whether to go with 3 quicks and 1 spinner or 2 quicks and 2 spinners, so end up choosing both.
Makes for a long tail and we always rely on McAndrew and Manenti bailing us out with the bat.

You'd top with Trav and Kez we would make a better fist of it with the bat.

Peak Shield cricket - the game has been delayed while the players hunt for the ball in the bushes after a Travis Head 6

The Redbacks collapsing after Carey throws his wicket away.
Some things never change.

Redbacks by nature.
131 run partnership followed by losing 4 for 5 is chef kiss perfection.

All out for 260 after giving up 366.
Going to be a matter of holding on for the Draw you would think, unless NSW trys to be more aggressive

Did we play Sam Konstas into the test team?
