Bit of drift and good turn, probably ol’’mates best ever delivery, but it’s amazing how hitting the top of off will get a wicket at any pace or variation.

I forgot to mention he played all over it like a T20 shot from a young bloke with little concept of batting for more than a few overs at a time.
A 50 overs match is like a test match for some of these new guys, a couple of wickets fall and all of a sudden you can have a kid who’s average innings is 5 overs per innings now looking at 40.
Anyway Stimpy up next.

BLUES WIN
In their first match of the season, the Blues have completed the second-highest successful run chase in One-Day Cup history

Queensland batted first and posted a massive total of 358 (49.5 overs), highlighted by a brilliant 125 off 89 balls from Hugh Weibgen and 80 from Jack Clayton.
In response, New South Wales chased down the target, finishing at 359/6 in 49 overs, powered by strong contributions from Kurtis Patterson (63) and Riley Kingsell (79)

Reckon there's been a directive from CA for some more batter friendly conditions for the summer? small sample but some big scores in the one day cup so far...

As long as the bowler isn't completely removed from the contest. Yeah 2-3 day Tests are not great for the game, but 5 day bat stat-padding sessions are worse.
I feel like a lot of it is to do with the actual degeneration of quality Test batsmen due to heavy T20 schedules on dead tracks. They get on to a pitch that's doing a bit and they shit themselves.

Bit of a perfect storm IMO. The new ball is moving a lot more than it has previously thanks to changes in the Kookaburra and pitches, combine that with less opportunity for long form cricket and changes in technique. I think top order batting has never been more difficult.
