wow Finch was good once 😀

$ 196,800.00

Quiney & Gulbis , names from the past

Still not sure how Quiney played 2 Tests (9,0,0) , didn't he play because they didn't want to expose someone 🤔

Both he & Gulbis were very good BBL players

Rob Quiney scored the best 9 of all time, change my mind!

That was Arthur's quote I think.

against Steyn & Morkel 2012/13.

I can't recall who the media/public said should have played ahead of him.

I think they wanted to keep Phil Hughes away from SA.

I went back and looked at that series and the series following - good memory, it was Phil Hughes that came in to replace him. I thought it was Alex Doolan for some reason... (who then went to SA a year or so later and acquitted himself fairly well!)

Think that everyone wanted to clarke to bat 3, as the thinking was that your best player should bat there no matter what.


they'd tried watson/s.marsh and khawaja there without success and wanted to use quiney there to further blunt the new ball for the middle order of clarke/ponting/hussey to capitalize on

Ok regarding feedback for the laws committee, it needs to be simple, see below response.

I'm not sure if this would work.. but would scoring systems be changed to have a third group for DPP players? Bat only players have something that supports them, bowlers only the same, and then all rounders/DPP have a more balanced system (that maybe mirrors the bowler and bat systems but slightly less points per action? Seems like some of the issues come from there being a class of players that effectively get to double dip across the two scoring systems, meaning anything that tries to balance either will also continue to benefit all rounders.

This is one of the suggestions I mentioned earlier, along similar lines. Unfortunately, its probably too complex to bring in, but I agree, a bit part of the problem is the allrounders getting multiple goes.

2. This one may be a lot of work but separate scoring systems for SR and ER depending on status. For example, if a player is bowler only and only bowls 1 over, I think they should still get their ER bonus. Similarly, if they are BAT only, they can get a strike rate bonus regardless of whether they get to 20 or not. This adds value to BAT and BWL only players, otherwise we still go after BAT/BWL or WK/BAT players as they provide more flexibility in our teams.

I just found a courier Mail article that confirmed my memory , and that the rumours were they picked Quiney instead of "sacrificing " Hughes.

I watched Doolan score a 161 for Australia A v South Africa at the SCG , half the crowd had no idea who he was.

Thanks for sending through all this feedback Prof, and for keeping us in the loop, hopefully it leads to a better comp next season.

Looking hopeful for tonight.
Looks like a shower in the next 1/2 hr, then all the big stuff is north of the city.
Fingers crossed.

 

[Wolffy84]

If thats the end of the rain we can probably all go back to plan A
