Yeah I know haha, it's all good. Admittedly Renshaw did go quiet in the 2nd Test and had mixed form in the third Test.

I still think he is absolutely worth persisting with.

renshaw would still have to be in the top 6 batsmen, worth persisting with
things are grim.
however new zealand without Williamson will be interesting
white ball cricket now for awhile, great preparation for aussies and kiwis for test matches lol

Need to find another opener and move Head back to #5. Against NZ I'd forego a sixth bat, play Carey at #6 and play four quicks with the spinner.

I felt too disgusted to immediately comment
However so much went wrong
The toss decision to protect a fragile batting line up ranks as one of the worst ever
Fact is Cummins and Hazelwood were very innocuous
Lyon was ok but bowls 30 + overs with almost every ball identical
The SA spinner totally out bowled our "Goat "
Lyon is batting better than bowling
Starc as usual was great
Now our batting
Head and Renshaw and Inglis were very good
Marnus has failed too many times and hope he can resurrect his career at State level .
Carey really must change his style and stop reverse sweeping
Connolly is a T20 star who is not even close to test standard
For a long time we can't play spin
Its time to reward our best performing Shield cricketers
Green who has talent batted a 12 over period without scoring 1 run and had Starc and Cummins protecting him from Harmer .That is gutless
So much was gutless .The Toss decision ,Smith sitting out and the way we batted in that 2nd innings !
Shameful Embarrassing !
NZ and India are red hot favourites in the series coming up
Don't think Capt Pat should lead and he needs to concentrate on improving his bowling
Dark Days ahead !

Looks like rain and bad light are going to prevent and exciting finish in the Shield game between Qld and Victoria

What? Rain and bad light not in Brissy.
Beautiful toads one day and fire ants the next.

Maxy has pulled up stumps.

Probably should’ve played more tests with his natural talent, but it was fun watching just the same.

Thanks for that 200 in the WC.
He saved that WC for us. I watched every game not just ours, but every single game, and going into that game we had been the worst. We were about to loose again and get punted until Maxy slayed them all night long. It was an amazing innings to watch and I’ll never forget it.

Thanks Maxy.

Actually the rain was no way as bad as they were predicting for today
Hasn't disappeared since the 3rd week in October
We went from basically dust to lawn needing to be mowed weekly

Jack Clayton making some runs. Averaging close to 40 (which is equivalent to 50 in years past!) 27 so some first class experience but not over 30. Be interesting to see if he kicks on.

That 200 has to be close to the best ODI ever played. Incredible stuff.
