Does he offer that?
Tye bowls right arm fast medium

In this squad we have:
Stanlake right arm fast medium (albeit from from 4.5m high)
J Richardson right arm fast medium
K Richardson right arm fast medium
Stoinis right arm slow medium
Agar left arm orthodox
Maxwell right arm orthodox / not allowed to bowl ever under any circumstances
Finch dunno what you call that

Specialist T20/LO bowler, provides variation in pace, yorkers.

Iā€™d say Stanlake and both Richardsons are fighting for the 1 spot when the WC comes along.

First four quicks:
Tye
Starc
Cummins/Hazlewood

Spinners:
Agar/Zampa & whoever else pops up

Backup quicks:
Stanlake/Richardson/Richardson

Even WA bowlers like Paris, Behrendorff and Coulter-Nile will be in consideration being West Australian and all

Stanlake is a bit above fast medium. Heā€™s as fast, if not faster on a regular basis, than any other bowler we have. Including Starc and Cummins. 150+ is no worries for him. A great talent is Billy.

Coulter-Nile is quality and would be in my top 4.

At one stage were 200 runs below the DLS par score! :laughing:

Iā€™ve never really seen it with him tbh. I just find him a bit meh; and not meh in like a ā€˜Rhinoā€™ Harris kind of way

Cricket Australia are sure pushing the AFL as the dumbest sporting organisation in Australia. They have now decided that the domestic 50 over competition will revert to 6 teams and all of them will make the finalsā€¦

Awesome way of putting players under pressure to perform to make finals.

Oh how I long for a return to the halcyon days of seeing who defied the odds and missed the finals when we had 14 teams and a final 8.

So why do they even have finals?
All they are doing is having two seasons, one after the other, and whoever wins season two is king of the sandpit. Just stupid.

Surprise!

1 game ban for Chandimal for ball tampering.

More fool to CA for the ridiculous over the top bans for our players.

Oz 0-66 off 11.2 Head 47 and Finch 18

At least 3 runs per over below par.

Now theyā€™ve gotten themselves in, they need to capitalise in the back end; no point scoring @5.5 then throwing your wicket away as you try to accelerate, which has been our, problem of late.

Aaron Finch opening. Novel concept.

Australia score 310 with centuries to Finch and Marsh but England look like theyā€™ll win this one. Currently, need 91 from 83 with 7 still in the shed

The days are gone where you can afford to have both your openers score @ a run a ball, and then not cash in.

Does anyone know why Maxwell didnā€™t play, yet we played with 2 keepers?

Injured I believe

Iā€™d be pretty miffed if he was dropped, with Agar at 5 the batting lineup looks mighty thin.

Hamstring issues I believe. He had some issues before the 3rd which didnā€™t improve.
