Connolly's FC Debut was in last season's Shield Final scored 90 & 18.

He has only played 3 Shield games

4 FC matches , 309 runs @ 61.80 , 3 x half centuries

Start of the summer we are questioning our depth

McSweeney , Konstas , Webster , Inglis and Connolly have debuted since then.

Green hoping to play the final Shield game as a bat only.

And still Labuschagne survives the axe 😉

Now got to many options moving forward

 

[Herbie66]

Only Test - Stumps Day 1

Ireland 260 (were 31/5)

McBrine 90* , Adair 78

Muzarabani 7/58

Zimbabwe 72/1

Owen v MICT

7 (3) 1.5-0-29-0

Qualifier 2 v SEC

Interesting that he got out to left armers in every match... maybe something in that!

Shane Warne used to have an unusual record, especially back in those days.
He very quickly got to more Tests played than Shield games, and more Shield games played than District Firsts.

I always remember McGrath

played 189 FC matches , 124 of which were Tests.

Cummins 81 FC matches , 67 Tests.

Meanwhile in Bulawayo , Nick Welch falls short of a century on Test debut and is out for 90 😢

Left Zimbabwe years ago to pursue a career in the UK , fantastic that he has finally been given a opportunity

Didn’t realise we had a spot for a specialist fieldsman in the Aussie test team.

 

[Herbie66]

Smudge is a absolute genius the way he controls the bowlers and manipulates the field.

Sri Lanka with a lead of 54 and 2 wickets remaining

 

[Dravid]

550 Test wickets for Lyon

It's ridiculous really... Bowling orthodox off spin with no tricks!
