Australian Domestic Season 2017-18

Shield and one day draw released

Round 1 of Shield

Banjos v Stinkies @ Gabba 26-29 Oct 2017
Sandies v Tozzies @ WACA 26-29 Oct 2017
Barrels v Mighty Dubbers @ Autobahn 27-30 Oct 2017

3 Shield games scheduled before 1st Ashes Test.

Couldn't be arsed putting up the DOD schedule.

Only 2 months until this is rikkied.

Expect Embee will find the DOD schedule...seems to be the one comp where they concentrate.

Speaking of the worsties they are likely to play more all rounders than members of Jenny Craig - the Stain, Hoss, Corporal and Mere for starters. One things for sure and that is the BNLG will be talking them all up for national selection.

So looking ahead what to make of the 17/18.

Can the Vix go the 4peat? Who will emerge as the challengers.

I think the Banjos and Tozzarians are on the improve with the former a real chance of knocking the Champs off.

I also see SA continuing to build on momentum. 

I think the Worsties will battle the Dubbers for the spoon. 

It should however be a tight season with little to separate 1st and last.

I can't wait.

Good to see the DOD games being shared around again. Finals to be held in Hobart in mid October might be a bit risky though.

Hmmn. I can already see the bnlg crying a river over that

Sage.

Bobby Quiney has retired from first class cricket, but will continue to play Premier Cricket.

A great career and as a good a bloke

The rumour is that Mitch Marsh will become the next Wozzie captain

I predict we will finish 8th in the Shield if this happens

LOL.

can't finish 8th if you're out through injury

You're probably more used to 9th, embee?

No ninth this year Mr Bucket

quite right

Early contender for post of the Domestic season.

The bnlg prolly figures making Steak Knives captain secures his place in the team

Chick Scorchers sign up Meg Lanning

She has had enough of being a vomit apparently

Can you blame her.

How many of those three games will the likely test team be available for? I say likely because the players who should be in the actual team will probably play all three.

probably 2, and then they will be sent on a pre-Ashes camp which clashes with the 3rd.

That is truly weird. Urrrkhh! Does this mean bnlg and Kjnr are really campaigning together for a yes vote? (not that there is anything wrong with that etc)

All jokes aside, given you barrack for the Tiggers and the FoLoG (Fruit of the Loins of the Gnome), you have the Boards sympathy.

Oz cricket needs all States to be competitive in the Shield. The Tozzies sacked Dan aint the Man and are rebuilding...faaarkk even the Billies and Barrels are competitive. The FoLoGs are becoming the Zimbots of the Shield.

Too many good ordinary players in the wozzies ...again

There is talk that Klinger wont get a game ...ffs

Bangers/Wells/Max
Bog
Hoss
Dozen (VC)
Puddle (C)
Stanus
Whiteman (unless he has Paine finger) / Inglis
Orrible
NCN
Dorf
Mackin
Paris

Green/ Nicholas / Duff / o'connor

Probably forgotten some too

Good Zeus, that bnlg can still roll out the self serving crap - 

"This is such an exciting stage of Western Australian cricket with two young guys leading the team. When we started out five years ago one of our objectives was to develop these guys to become great players, great leaders and great people.
“Guys like Mitch, with so much international experience at such a young age will be so beneficial to have leading the group. AT has had recent success too which is such a good sign of what’s to come from both of these amazing players."
 Yep. Steak Knives has enjoyed a lot of international experience. I suppose that is true.

That said Stained will help win a few matches if he can find some form under that North Korea like regime.

Tassie announce their One Day squad. Interesting mix of youth & experience. Couple of names there i know nothing about:
Tasmanian Tigers JLT One-Day Cup Squad

George BAILEY

Alex DOOLAN

Jake DORAN

Ben DUNK

Andrew FEKETE

Ben MCDERMOTT

Riley MEREDITH

Charlie WAKIM



Head Coach: Adam GRIFFITH

I guess Charlie Wakim is a big hitter.
