Pope really isn't FC standard at present, he is bowling consistent waist high and wide sit up and hit me full tosses. Jimmy 98*
He looked ok in the first match. He needs to work with an experienced leggie in the squad and play the odd game.Hes not a frontline Sheffield shield bowler yet.
 
I wonder if Qld went back in to give Burnsy one last shot at making a score...which he didn't.

Is Marnus's run of form a bit of a concern heading into the test series?

Looks like Marnus was just playing it like a T20 based on the strike rate, I'm not concerned in the slightest. He'll come good for the Tests.
 
I still think burnsy will open this summer. Probably a good series for him to either fail and move on from him or he succeeds.

They maybe should but the calls to Pucovski in will reach fever pitch, particularly allowing him to learn test cricket on his own pitches. Wade shouldn't lose his spot either but there will be so much noise around getting Green in there, I wouldn't be surprised.

Yep certainly likely that is the case but he missed sweeping a straight one from Bosisto...who is looking a better spin than Pope currently. Pope needs a lot of help if he is ever going to becomes as good as he looks like he could be with some consistency.

I think Wade is safe. Langer said his Test Squad was settled but I can see potentially see Pucovski coming for Burns, more likely if Burns fails in the first test. Abbott, Swepson and Neser fighting for one reserve bowling spot.

Thats most likely the realistic situation for burns, get the 1st and maybe 2nd test. Is that a recent interview from langer?

Hasn't he already scored two 100's for the shield year??

Think he got 160 in the first match or something.
 
Solved, Bulls wanted SA to bat fourth and have SA bowlers create some fresh footmarks for Swepson for 20 overs.

I think it was a comment made when asked when talking about Adam Goodes and the national anthem
 
Neser on fire, Head goes second ball.
 
Sweppo looked a bit loose today just from the highlights I saw, 0-54 after three 5-fers. Swings and roundabouts I guess

Yeah he didn’t have the same control by any means. He was still bowling some threateners, but mixed in far more lollipops than usual.
 
Sooooo we’re totally gonna lose this aren’t we.

Good guys Queensland letting Ferguson go out a winner with a ton
