Wink

Pretty hard to say he struggles with an average like his.
M Marsh has no plan or way to combat it and the numbers back it up

There go his chances; they never pick in form players ????

And another class player has re-found some touch.  Alex Doolan with 106 not out.  It baffled me how this guy could go from batting #3 for Aus....and looking like he belonged against the best pace attack in the world (Saffers), to struggling to score a run against average shield attacks.

Life is pain....... anyone who says differently is selling something.

Doolan 218 not so far.....a couple of blokes heaping up big runs has certainly put the spotlight on Renshaws lack of 'em !

The players around my local league are telling me the characteristics of the 2018 cricket balls has changed significantly compared to previous seasons. In particular the seam on the premium Kookaburra balls are retaining shape much longer. They are getting well beyond 40 overs and the ball is still seaming around strongly.

I wonder if that is contributing to this apparent plague of domestic form slumps?

What some are hearing was that Paine was encouraged to play this match against the Vics with a view to selection. He made 52 against the Poms last week and 71no today. Tas still keeping picking him as a batsman only with Wade there. Being a good gloveman maybe he'll be selected.

So i'll go...

Warner
Renshaw
Khawaja
Smith
Handscomb
Bancroft
Paine
Starc
Cummins
Lyon
Hazelwood
