Moises Henriques – Kolkata
38 runs @ av 19 sr 95 hs 30*
2 wickets @ 53 econ 8.79 bb 1/32
No one could quite understand how he kept getting a game, or the new ball. Is a very talented young kid, but maybe, just maybe, he should perform at the level below before he is given an opportunity.
David Hussey – Kolkata
98 runs @ av 24 sr 166 hs 43
0 wickets econ 8.5
Came late onto a ship that had already sunk, and decided to swing away. Looked in top touch, but kept getting out after amazing starts. Had a way better strike rate than McCullum or Gayle.
Lee Carseldine – Rajasthan
81 runs @ av 20.25 sr 119 hs 39
1 wicket @ 6 econ 6 bb 1/6
Came in first game and just smacked the ball everywhere when no one else could get the ball off the square, sadly that was about all he did in the tournament. Interestingly only bowled one over.
Rob Quiney - Rajasthan
103 runs @ av 14.7 sr 100.98 hs 51
Hit his first ball in the IPL for 6, then went out. Only really got two starts, and showed glimpses of his talent, but good spinners slowed him down or got him out. Hopefully he has learnt some good lessons, and will be able to score more consistently for Victoria.
Shane Harwood – Rajasthan
9 runs (no outs) sr 62 hs 6*
3 wickets @ 24.3 econ 7.30 bb 2/25
Only played 3 games, but did look dangerous. Rajasthan were more worried with making runs so he and Morne spent most of their time on the bench.
Luke Ronchi – Mumbai Indians
0 runs from 1 game
Sachin went into panic mode about half way through the tournament and threw Luke one game. He was run out for a duck.
Simon Katich – Punjab
145 runs @ av 16 sr 123 hs 50
His 50 was sensational, as good as I have seen the krab time the ball, but struggled other than that. 2020 really wasn’t made for him, and had his coach not been Moody, I doubt he would played too often.
George Bailey – Chennai
45 runs @ av 22.5 sr 115 hs 30
In both of his innings he looked in top form, and in both of them he ran himself out. The good news was smilin’ George looked completely at home at this level of cricket.
Andrew McDonald - Delhi
3 runs @ av 3 sr 75 hs 3
0 wickets (3 overs) econ 7.33 bb 0/22
Only played the one game when Delhi were resting players, and got a sensational Yorker from Anil Kumble.
Luke Pomersbach – Punjab
41 runs @ av 10.25 sr 83 hs 26
Looked out of touch, and small. When Luke is at his best he looks like a Hayden type bully, here he looked like a mouse imitating a flea.

With Luke Ronchi dropped, and Tim Paine unable to live up to his potential the race for back up test keeper is wide open.
Should Haddin get injured, no one could accurately predict who the next keeper would be.
The front runner should be Manou, but really it isn’t. No one has ever talked him up, even though he has carried the Redbacks for 2 years now. Very tidy, if not brilliant with the gloves. His career average of 23 is ordinary, but in the last two years he has averaged around 36 with 4 hundreds. Has a bit of mongrel in him as well. Perfect back up keeper, would be grateful for the opportunity. Not a long term proposition at 29 though.
Chris Hartley might be the man to jump the queue. Is the best regular gloveman in the country, and with Crosthwaite, are the only two guys who are proper old school keepers. His career batting average is 27, but is in career best form with the bat, has one hundred this year, 3 50s and that is not including his 82* overnight in the current match. Of all the keepers in Australia only he and Manou seem to be safe in their jobs.
Victoria’s keeping is a mess, but for good reasons. Wade and Crosthwaite are probably the 3rd and 4th best options in Australia at the moment, and they are continuing to fight for one spot. Crosthwaite has made the side as a batsman this year, Wade has done it for the last two years. Wade’s glovework doesn’t impress me (although he has 51 catches in 8 games this year), but his batting is solid. The only thing he hadn’t done is kick on and make a hundred, well he did that yesterday, so in 19 first class games he has 1 hundred and 4 50s, and is 21. Having someone as good as Crossy behind him seems to be spurring him on. Maybe not ready to be number two, but will be mid 20s when Haddin is due for retirement.
Daniel Smith could be the roughie, not that I think he is good enough, but people seem to like him, and he is from NSWales, so that has to put him in the running. Has averaged 26 in 18 games, which seems to be about the same for all the back ups. Can play, but is probably a bit too hit and miss as a back up.
At one stage I wanted Tim Paine to replace Gilly. Watching him bat you can actually see the talent ooze out of him (not a semen joke). But where are the results, he hasn’t made big scores with the bat, and his keeping is adequate at best. With an average of 30 he pretty much tops this list, but he has made only one hundred in the last 3 years, and for his talent that is not good enough. Could still replace Haddin, but he must frustrate the selectors, and that could count against him.
Over in Western Australia Luke Ronchi has lost the support of Tom Moody. Last season he averaged 40 with the bat and made 64 off about 8 balls when understudying for Haddin. This year he has averaged 20, and is on the outs. Has an amazing amount of talent with the bat, but his keeping is only so so. Who knows where he is in the list now.
Right at the moment I’d go with Hartley, but it would surprise me if almost anyone on this list gets picked.

That innings loss to the Mexican’s is but a small hickup on the road to our 46th Sheffield Shield.
First, lets have a look at the table with two rounds to go. Sure sitting in 5th place on 16 points is not ideal, and with Tassie sitting pretty on 24 and our not getting a chance to play them, we’re banking a lot on an implosion of note on the apple isle.
Obviously NSWales will get outright victories from our remaining two matches, finishing our regular season on 28 points. Here’s the events beyond our control that also needs to fall into place for us to retain our title:
- Tassie to gain at most 4 points from VIC and SA. This would force a tie, however we’d likely make it through on equal outright victories (4) and a better quotient.
- QLD to not beat VIC outright
- WA to get 0 points from our match
Then we’ll meet the VICs at the MCG for the Final where they’ll choke as is their custom. Easy As.

Travis Birt, Unlucky
Now that I’ve dropped Cameron White and David Hussey, the search has begun for a new number 6 and 7 in the Aussie ODI squad. I’ve taken a look at
the scorecards from our Domestic F50 competition and compiled a list of all the batting performances where more than 20 are scored at greater than a run a ball. The most recent performances are listed first.
Birt, TR 86(66), 94(80), 67(56), 25(15)
Smith, DLR 29*(13), 28*(26)
Manou, GA 48* (39)
Warner 31(20), 97(54), 165*(112)
MG Dighton 59(58), 87(76)
Klinger 133*(128)
Ferguson, C 52(35), 32(26), 101(83)
Hopes J 76(61), 42(40)
Bailey, GJ 32(28)
Divin, MA 38(31)
Ronchi, L 80(64)
AK, Heal 43(34)
Quiney 42(40), 16(15), 92(85), 73(63)
Crosthwaite, AJ 52(49), 29(17)
Thornely, DJ 108(90)
Doropoulos, TP 92(75)
Henriques, MC 41(37)
Borgas, CJ 39(35)
I’ve quite possibly missed some, if anyone can point me towards a tool that pulls out domestic data rather than having to manually read the scorecards, that would be most appreciated.
Looking purely at the numbers, the standout domestic performers are:
Travis Birt from Tasmania
Travis is the form pinch hitter in the domestic T50 competition with his 7 innings yielding 363 runs at 60.5 and at a strike rate of 122! His returns this year are:
- 1/11/08 56*(37) vs SA
- 12/11/08 25(15) vs Vic
- 29/11/08 34(38) vs NSW (the game where Warner scored 165*(112)
- 07/12/08 67(56) vs NSW
- 10/12/08 94(80) vs SA
- 14/12/08 1(5) vs QLD
- 07/02/08 86(66) vs VIC (this low scoring game Tas made 197 and VIC made 189)
David Warner from NSW
Dave has already been given a shot in the national setup with promising signs but too many failures. From his 8 starts there have been 3 good innings, yielding 89(43) on debut, 69(60) in his 4th match, and 22(29) in his 6th match when he was very unlucky to be run-out.
Combine these scores with Dave’s domestic highlights of 31(20), 97(54), 165*(112) and it’s easy to agree he has the destructive power hitting would really dominate the batting powerplay without the additional pressure of opening. I’d like to see Dave given a go down the order, where he’ll have a chance to perform without the added pressure of opening.
Callum Ferguson from South Australia
His stand out performances include 52(35), 32(26) and 101(83). It’s good to see him given a shot in the Aussie side, though I would have picked Birt first purely on the numbers. Callum played well last night before a Bucknor howler cut short his opportunity. Who did the BCCI ask to wipe him from their fixtures, and can we please be added to this list?
James Hopes from Queensland
In the two games that Hopes played for Queensland he’s opened in both, scoring 76(61) and 42(40). I’d like to see him given an extended run at the top of our order, his tight straight bowling will keep him in the squad regardless. Ideally we’d have a run of 2 or maybe even 3 ODI’s without changing our openers, wouldn’t that be nice.
Adam Voges from Western Australia
Conversely, Adam Voges has made the squad without topping a run a ball all year. Now he’s the one our selectors have picked to apply ‘pressure’ to Hussey and White, yet even if he were to continue his domestic results at the higher lever I don’t believe this would be enough. His 295 runs at 49.2 certainly doesn’t constitute bad numbers, but his strike rate of just 70.2 is not get our 300+ mojo back.
- 8/10/08 13(35) vs NSW
- 24/10/08 56(78) vs Tas
- 16/11/08 104(119) vs SA
- 26/11/08 39(72) vs VIC
- 20/12/08 78(108) vs VIC
- 23/12/08 5(8) vs NSW
If we were after a reliable batsman then Simon Katich would have to be the first picked, selecting Voges in this form to me makes little sense.

It’s not too late for the mighty NSW Blues to defend their Sheffield Shield, and considering we’ve won 1, lost 3 and drawn 2 matches it’ll have to be one hell of a late rally for us to contest the finals.
We’re currently sitting in 5th place out of the 6 teams. At this stage, I’d book the MCG out as Victoria are a certainty to top the table. They’re sitting pretty on 30 points and have a big gap to the next placed Queensland with 3 matches to go. To improve our chances I’ll be hoping for as many Victorian wins to keep them ahead of the field.
There’s 4 matches remaining:
- Fri 30 – Mon 2 Feb vs Tasmania in Newcastle
- Sun 15 – Wed 18 Feb vs Victoria in Melbourne
- Thu 26 – Sun 1 Mar vs Queensland in Brisbane
- Thu 5 – Sun 8 Mar vs WA in Sydney
and of the matches on this weekend, QLD lost to Western Australia but picked up first innings points, Victoria should beat South Australia, and NSW should beat TAS outright for 6 points, which will leave the table 7/10ths of the way through the comp looking like:
- Victoria 36
- Queensland 22
- New South Wales 18
- Western Australia 18
- Tasmania 18
- South Australia 8
The real challenge for NSW, as always, will be when our Test stars depart for the South Africa tour. There is a 3 day game against South Africa A on February 20th, and I’m guessing that safety first Cricket Australia wont let those selected play the shield match against Victoria that finishes on the 18th.
Phillip Hughes is now looking a certainty for his Baggy Green, along with Simon Katich, Michael Clarke and Brad Haddin. Hopefully we can hold onto Phil Jaques, Dave Warner (to get his First Class debut), Nathan Hauritz and Nathan Bracken at least until the One Day squad is sent over for the 27th March. We’ll also be carefully monitoring Stuart Clark’s elbow and Brett Lee’s ankle – their return could well be the deciding factor in this years shield.
Our young blokes will have to step up against the nearer full strength Victorian, Queensland and Western Australian outfits, and if they do we’ll be looking good for another finals appearance. And then, just maybe we can lift the trophy for the 46th time of the 106 times it’s being contested.

This is our title.
I refuse to lose to these bastards, and for the time being, Prince Brendan is an honorary bastard.
Forget about Warne, Gilchrist or Keith Miller, you have the talent to win this game.
The bowling line up is all there, and NSWales couldn’t score against it before.
The batting has the talent, even if it is inexperienced.
This should be a victory.
Anything less is not good enough.
NSWales has more players out of their side than we do.
Sure the Ego of Hodge, the Bear like nature of White, and the ferocity of future PM Hussey are hard to replace, but the idea of Victoria winning all the time is that our players go on to play for their country.
And this is the perfect time to beat them, our stars are out, their stars are out, but they have pulled in a big gun.
They can’t whinge about their stars being out, they can’t gloat about producing the next generation, because they have opted for an import.
We can take these fuckers down.
Dirty Dirk is more than a bowler in 2020 cricket, the man is a wrecking ball of furious destruction.
The angry man Harwood is still one of the best 2020 bowlers on the planet, he doesn’t need a grey and yellow uniform to prove that.
Bryce is back baby, and this is the game for him, his performance in the one day final last year was what legends are made of.
The X man Crosthwaite is made for 2020 cricket, he loves a scrap, scores quick, and talks just as fast.
The human Headline Blizzard is due for another match winning few overs, remember last year’s final?
And 10 points Quiney loves smacking the blues around, it’s just a shame he doesn’t get to do so against Lee & Clark like he did at the G.
If this isn’t the time to win the title, I don’t know when is.
So back yourselves boys, leave it all out there, and make sure NSWales know that this is our title, if they want to win, they better play out of their assholes.
We are behind you.

Ranga and Proud
The domestic “Big Bash” Twenty 20 tournament has gone far from the script, with a depleted but still mighty New South Wales outfit topping the regular season and booking their trip to the promised land of rupees and curry.
Western Australia are awfully píssed off and seeking compensation after the original club championship was postponed due to men with guns. It’s a lot of cash they’re missing out on, and I feel a nice gesture would be for NSW Cricket to buy them a meaningful gift to ease the pain, perhaps a bronze statue of Simon Katich to stick up in the WACA headquarters..
You can bet the team we send to compete in India includes some names that have until this point played no part in the tournament such as Michael Clarke, Phil Jaques, Brett Lee, Stuart Clark and Brad Haddin. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, as any NSW cricketer will know it’s the privilege and also the curse of representing the state that breeds the big names.
I’ve put together a short synopsis of the 5 matches that have earnt us entry into the World Club Championship, and awarded 3-2-1–1 ratings as I feel they’re warranted.
Game 1 vs Queensland in Brisbane
Scorecard
A good bowling effort led by Doug Bollinger’s 3/22 and well assisted by Moises Henriques 2/26 restricted Queensland early on, however Beau Casson 0/37 and Mark Cameron 0/34 got spanked allowing the Bulls to amass to 161. Thanks to opening batsman Phillip Hughes scoring 80(20) the total was chased down with 2 balls to spare.

Game 2 vs Western Australia in Homebush, Sydney
Scorecard
Tight bowling by Aaron Heal and Marcus North restricted NSW to 6/148 off 20 overs. 18 year old newcomer Stephen Smith was my pick of the batsmen with 34*(21), Dave Warner 28(22) scored freely early on, while Phillip Hughes 35(34) and Dominic Thornley 23(24) got starts but failed to up the tempo sufficiently against WA’s slower bowlers Marcus North 1/27(4) and Aaron Heal 0/22(4).
Nathan Bracken 2/24 was the pick of the bowlers, Dominic Thornley, Stephen Smith and Moises Henriques generally restricted WA to the required rate of 6-7 rpo, while Beau Casson was again spanked leaking 0/26 off his two overs which gave WA the win and led to his being dropped for the remainder of the comp.

2 Nathan Bracken
1 Dave Warner
-1 Beau Casson
Game 3 vs South Australia in Adelaide
Scorecard
A solid batting performance by South Australia saw all of their batsmen scoring at 6.5 to 8.7 rpo, however they lacked one batsman to deliver the killer punch in their accumulation of 160 runs.
Mark Cameron was tidy with 1/22, Thornley 1/27(3) applied the brakes nicely and Aaron Bird 3/35 contributed vital top order wickets while leaking runs. Nathan Bracken 3/38 gets the bogey rating despite 3 late wickets saving his figures from absolute embarrassment.
Dave Warner 35(35) got the Blues response off to an absolute flyer, nicely assisted by pedestrian Phillip Hughes 30(29) and Dominic Thornley 28(18)

3 Dave Warner

Game 4 vs Tasmania in Homebush, Sydney
Scorecard
A destructive top 3 saw the Tassie Tigers belt 194 thanks to Lockyear 51(29), Dighton 43(29) and Birt 44(17). Dominic Thornley 0/22 was pick of the NSW bowlers with his 4 overs going for less than Stephen Smith’s 1 over 0/23. Doug Bollinger while moderately expensive took the essential wickets of Dighton and Birt, thus keeping the Tigers total below 200.
The destructive form of Dave Warner had him off to play South Africa, allowing the return of Simon Katich 18(12) and despite a solid opening stand with Moises Henriques 42(25) the fireworks were absent down the order and 166 was all we could muster.

3 Dominic Thornley
2 Moises Henriques

Game 5 vs Victoria at Homebush, Sydney
Scorecard
The penultimate match, NSW entered this 4th on the table with nothing to lose. A brutal bowling spell by dirty Dirk Nannes 4/11(4) hit the Blues hard early on, with Henriques 1(3), Smith 4(6) and Rohrer 7(8) his early victims. O’Keefe 6(6) fell to a run out and only opener Simon Katich 35(26) was able to resist the dark side of Dirk Nannes. Dominic Thornley 36*(36) came out in the 4th over with the score at 4/39 and steadied the ship, batting with the tail and taking the Blues to a depressingly low 128.
Douggy Bollinger 0/12 applied the pressure with some superb tight swing bowling, and Mark Cameron 1/17 kept the other almost as tight. Falling behind the run rate the Victorians shat themselves, giving up 5 run-outs, one each to Cameron, O’Keefe, Rohrer, Bollinger and Smith. I’ll give Simon Katich some credit for these as captain he would have been setting the fields. Victorian captain and serial whinger Brad Hodge summed it up nicely with “It’s a script on how to stuff up a cricket game”. Bravo.
A wonderful team effort from the Blues who now book their tickets to India, there is no villain from this match.

This time they beat the Warriors.
Brad Ego made all the runs, a few others sort of chipped in.
Cameron White took a Australian Selectors erecting 4/10.
And Surprisingly Dirty Dirk and David Hussey did very little.
Well Future PM did put a little icing on it with 37 off 22, and two wickets.
But with the Vics making 180 and the warriors strangling themselves to 105 it was hardly a game where two super heroes like them were needed.
Dirty Dirk didn’t even feel the need to prove my assertion that he should have been picked ahead of harris in the 2020 side.
He doesn’t have to though, he is Dirty Dirk, he does what he please, when he please, and he don’t have to prove nuffin to no one.
Big ups to Andrew McDonald for playing in this game, I’m sure he would have been allowed to miss it, but he played anyway.
Also well done in the test Andrew, was a top effort with the ball.
And ofcourse Peter fucking Sizzle, you is on fire boy.
Have we won this tournament yet, i thought these things were supposed to be over quickly.
Posted by jrod on December 17, 2008 under VIC, WA |
Something happened on day three.
The warriors went from a fordable foe, to rotten cheese.
These things don’t just happen though.
Dirty Dirk cut their heart out.
Andrew McDonald ate it however.
It was pretty brutal.
They lost 9/98 on the day, and the game was over before Jewell and Rogers went out to bat.
Dirty Dirk is now the leading wicket taker in the country, and has a bowling average of 19 whilst doing it.
Not too mention his strike rate of a wicket every 6 overs, that is better than his strike rate for falling over.
The man is all over the shield season.
Some people still don’t rate him, but they are people who cannot understand the animal nature of the man.
The see the falling over, the wide balls, the terrible fielding and they say, oh he is not a proper cricketer.
No he is not, he is a barbaric warrior who takes wickets.
The man makes opposition batsmen piss themselves.
He gets wickets with an alarming consistency.
In essence, he does the job with brutal force while others are still tucking in their shirts.
Victoria has crawled on the back of the big man this year, and with Rogers and Wright playing pretty damn good as well, they would have to be red hot favourites for the title.
And if they do, Rogers will get credit, Wright will be applauded, and their will still be dick heads who don’t rate Dirty Dirk.
That is ok though, he is too uncouth to be anything other than a cult figure.
