- Western Australia v Tasmania (WACCA)


Victoria Sheffield Shield squad Chris Rogers, Peter Handscomb, Rob Quiney, Andrew McDonald (capt), Alex Keath, Glenn Maxwell, Ryan Carters (wk), Peter Siddle, Clint McKay, Darren Pattinson, Jayde Herrick, Jon Holland.

Western Australia Sheffield Shield squad Wes Robinson, Marcus Harris, Marcus North (capt), Michael Hussey, Adam Voges, Travis Birt, Tom Beaton, Michael Johnson (wk), Mitchell Johnson, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Michael Beer, Michael Hogan, Matt Dixon.

Michael Hussey's Twenty20 Champions League duty for Chennai Super Kings has ruled him out of Western Australia's Sheffield Shield opener, against Tasmania at the WACA ground from Tuesday.

Queensland, meanwhile, have been dealt a one-two punch on the eve of the Sheffield Shield match against Victoria at the Gabba, losing the captain James Hopes and young batsman Chris Lynn to injury.

Hopes suffered a jarred knee in the Bulls' limited overs victory over the Bushrangers on Sunday night, while Lynn sustained a hamstring strain. It was thought prudent to keep the duo out of the match given that another one day fixture against Tasmania in Mackay following closely on the heels of the Shield game.

Birt made 18 in his debut and North only 6. Voges on the recovery route with 38*

Rogers having a good start to the year with 69*

Tasmania Bowled out for 206 chasing 176.

Bailey 49, Hogan the pick of the bowlers 5/30 off 19.3

Johnson bowled today so ankle must be fine 1/63 going at 4.5 an over.

Get Butterworth in the test team already!

One of the more promising young fast bowlers in Australia, Nathan Coulter-Nile, has been squeezed out of the Western Australia XI for the opening round of the Sheffield Shield because Mitchell Johnson cannot be relied upon to bowl in an economical fashion.
This is understood to have ruled a line through Coulter-Nile's name because his own bowling is also geared towards aggression, and WA team management considered the risk of leaking runs was too great.
