Australian Domestic Season 2014/15

Who knows - who cares? Perhaps that will put the "investigation" (or need for it) into perspective.

"Extraordinary lengths taken by Michael Clarke's grade club to ensure the injured Australian captain can bat next weekend, if he is fit enough to do so, will be investigated by Cricket New South Wales.

In a bizarre set of circumstances at Old Kings Oval, Western Suburbs were sent in to bat and declared their first innings closed at 0 for 17, before their opponents Paramatta responded by also closing early at 2 for 140.

Western Suburbs then reached 1 for 230 in their second innings by the close, meaning Clarke will be able to bat for the club next weekend should his hamstring respond to treatment swiftly enough to allow him to maintain a desperate bid for inclusion in the first Test team to play India in Brisbane."

Meh, Wests looking at the greater good. I presume Pup and Boof were involved?

" "While Cricket NSW and the Sydney Cricket Association are conscious of the broader interests of Australian cricket and hence appreciate the thinking behind this gesture, we are also conscious of the need to maintain the integrity of the Sydney grade competition."

FMD, bureaucrats. They know exactly what has happened. Wests and Parra have made it obvious, yet these clowns still want to investigate. The two clubs should be lauded for attempting to look after Aus cricket.

I think this type of thing should be investigated. The integrity of Sydney Grade cricket needs to be maintained. If things didn't work out exactly as planned and Clarke couldn't get the batting practice he needs, then tough luck. That's the way the game goes. Perhaps he just needs to be ruled out of the first test and someone else gets a chance.

I thought it's not the so-called "Australian way" to put an individual above the team....If the Bannies did this in a tour game, Aussie fans and media would be all over them.

where's Geoff Lawson with his NSW expertise?

Will Bosisto done for pinging in a Futures League game

He's a batsman mainly... so it really shouldn't worry him

Carberry signed by the Scorchers

I think this might prove to be one season too many for Hogg.

Crikey, Hoggggyyyyyyy!!! will be 44 in February. Jayzus, that's an outstanding effort.

wicket wicket wicket

Silk fails too.

Hughes and S Marsh doing well.

Banjos out for 12 as Tozzies struggle.

another doolan failure

Hughes and Fergie going head to head at the moment.

50 up for phews after successive 4s of the Monk

poor skully...he'll be blowing a gasket and his hair hat (not that I would suggest S would ever wear a hair hat)

of concern is that Bog aka "Mr hit hit, miss, miss, miss, miss hit" is scoring runs....the bannies would be delighted to see bog selected

Not so. He'll get is usual first test ton before following up with a pulled hammy or a run of 4 single digit scores before being dropped.

He cant do much worse than the last time the bannies were here

aye...the bannies would be giggling....think the bros need to be kept apart anyway...bog as like as not wouldf take Mitch out on the turps

another good score to Bancroft

Hughes has been stretchered off after being sconed by Abbott.

Footage looks bad. He stumbled a bit and then just fell flat on his face. Concussion at best.
