DUFFMAN

Lol @ Wells getting a contract.

WA cricket watchers what chance is Jhye Richardson of playing first class cricket this season?
WA have a strong fast bowling group, but like to see promising quicks fast tracked where possible, particularly kids with his ability.

I don't think it's impossible but it seems unlikely.

Behrendorff, Paris and Coulter-Nile is our theoretical best attack with Mackin next in line and Duffield, Rimmington and Tye would also be ahead of him.

Depends on whether or not we're in shield contention and if we get injuries or international call ups.

 

[Hellgood]

Don't forget Moody in that lot too.

Nicholas didn't look out of place in the chances he got towards the end of last summer either. Richardson will get games at some point as I think he's also on the cusp, but it's pretty competitive.

 

[Van_Dyke]

Also, shout out to everyone's favourite WA/Scorchers international, Sajid Mahmood, who's playing in Melbourne grade cricket for a few games.

Just on Paris, it sounds like his injury might be worst than first thought. Could be out for a fair while.

D'Arcy Short looking like a great early-season bolter - loved what I saw of his knock the other day.

Interested to see how his bowling holds up.

Why the apostrophe in his name

Why the apostrophe in his name

Modern parenting. Can never have too many consonants or punctuation marks in kids names these days.

 

[Torz]

Sounds like Agar will play the next game.

Quick recovery

Time to turn the heat on some of these bozos.

Nathan Coulter-Nile - Can't keep fit. Waste of a career.
Mitchell Marsh - FC batting average of 30. Not good enough.
Shaun Marsh - Should have been a 100 Test player. Can't keep fit.
Ashton Agar - Has to start producing. Rarely does. Overhyped.
Cameron Bancroft - Needs to improve his average into mid-40s.
Will Bosisto - Should be a well-entrenched member of the side by now. Still a fringe player.
Ryan Duffield - Rewarded with a new contract, produces one of the worst days of bowling you'll see from a state rep.
David Moody - Wouldn't be given the chances he gets without his name. Marsh-like. Has potential but bowls so many pies.
Joel Paris - Can't stay fit. No use to us playing half a season every year.
Jhye Richardson - Just a complete fool - runs in the family.
Ashton Turner - Lack of oppurtunity or lack of actual talent? Won't make it by the looks.
Jonathan Wells - Dominates the lower levels, will never make it as a state player. Why bother?
Sam Whiteman - Should have made a lot more runs than he has. Errors creeping into his keeping too. Bought his own hype too early.

Dismal effort today. Months and months to prepare and get hyped for the Shield season and they produce the same old shit.

 

[Torz]

That's a low blow.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

That's a low blow.

I'd say it is warranted mate.

 

[Perty4]

Terrific rant! Can't say I disagree with much of that, how deflating is it when you have 3 of the test top 6 (can argue rightly or wrongly their spots, but they are the incumbents) and produce 1/150 then 9/270...and we bowl like that? That batting lineup with Marsh x 2, Voges, Klinger, Bancroft and Agar/Whiteman at 7/8 with FC hundreds, should be making a lot more than 270. Pink ball or not. SA had little trouble as it hardly swung. Well it swung when it bursted into the fence.
Can anyone explain how Duffield plays ahead of Rimmington? We even had M.Marsh as a credible 5th bowler, to give up 450 runs in a day (our 2nd worst in 70 years according to JT, is just disgraceful. No heart, no pride.

On another note, I read Whiteman changed Grade clubs over winter? Any particular reason?

I'm just guessing here but I think Rockingham-Mandurah already had an established keeper Brayden Sutton so whenever Whiteman would go back to grade cricket he would play as a batsman only. So assuming he moved to somewhere he would keep at?

I'm just going off mycricket scorecards here so could be completely wrong.

Except that Sutton also moved to Fremantle this year.

There's been dramas at Rockingham-Mandurah, so not all that surprising for people to be leaving.

So as I suspected I was completely wrong haha.

 

[Freo Big Fella]

Curious what they're trying to accomplish with the batting order - can't really see the point in Turner and Bos batting so low, even if they do think they can turn Agar into a genuine top order option.
