Australian Domestic Season 2024/25

[mal]

NO team has won more outrights than SA this season

I watched the last hour of the WA v Queensland one day cup match that was on today and it was a pretty entertaining finish as WA got it done again chasing down 300, winning by 4 wickets. Cartwright 66* (48) and Armies mate 21* (27) put on 62 in 8.3 overs to win it.

Khawaja made 76 for Qld and Richardson took 3/36.

My typing fingers were twitching when the spud was 10 off 19 and the run rate was getting out of hand but credit to him and Cartwheel for getting the job done.

Beaten by the clock.

Take the draw 5 down after being 4/23

McSweeney and Carey with tons standouts.

Perhaps Carey our best.

Man of the match the young NSW opener Sam Konstas with twin tons.

All three games drawn.

NSW had no Starc, Cummins, Hazealwood, Bird, Abbott or Tremain. Apart from Lyon, that was their 3rd string attack…

[DOC]

We didn’t play Hogg, Hammond, Freeman, Grimmet, May, Mallet or Jenner.

I did forget him.

Sayers, Mennie, Scuderi, Sincock, Sleep, McIntyre, Harrity, Noblet, Giffen and the much underrated Dan Christian didn’t get a trundle either.

You can’t play everyone.

Surely Adcock gets a mention

[DOC]

Obviously he’s in as Captain but we were talking about bowlers.

He rolled the arm over occasionally too

The only relevance in this post is that there was no Bird Abbott and Tremain [ but they did have a goat]

Trust you to Adcock to the discussion.

Looks like the Redback/SACA selectors have an eye on the future for next week's game v QLD.
They've picked an up and coming 32yo in Jake Lehmann, who averages the same number as his age.
Granted he made runs in the 2ndX1 last week but surely they know by now how he has performed at Shield level over the years!

Australian cricket fans have spoken with three overwhelming favourites shortlisted for the naming of the men's domestic One-Day Cup trophy.

Following more than a month of fan engagement and feedback, 50-over cricket revolutionaries Michael Bevan, Dean Jones and Andrew Symonds were the most popular choices to have their name immortalised on the perpetual trophy for the annual limited-overs tournament.

Almost 20,000 fans submitted their vote across Cricket Australia's social media channels and an online poll with Symonds (24 per cent), Jones (23 per cent) and Bevan (22 per cent) polling well ahead of a host of other Australian greats including Matthew Hayden, Steve Waugh and Dennis Lillee.

For more than half a century the second-oldest domestic one-day series in world cricket (after the UK's introduced in 1963) has carried a prize bearing the name of various principal sponsors, most recently the Marsh Cup.

But from 2024-25, it will follow the likes of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy (for Australia India men's Tests), the Ruth Preddy Cup (Women's National Cricket League) and Sheffield Shield (men's first-class competition) with a titular trophy.

While the final decision on the naming of the trophy rests with the CA Board following a recommendation from the Australian Cricket Hall of Fame committee, led by Chair Peter King, fan input has been crucial in producing the final shortlist.

Seems like I wasted my money on those 50k Indian bots to vote for Warner, sigh
