Cameron White got player of the series. Second year in a row!

Yes and how the hell did he do that biased voting. Kawajha scored 200 more runs than White in the prelims so does not compute.

160 in one game ahaha. Take out that amazing knock on the road and white would of had it.

What about giving to a bowler!!! Coulters got a fair few wickets for a guy who missed a few games!

Agree Noto so hard for bowlers to get recognition in this shortened form of the game. Behrendorff would also have strong claims.

White also had two games on the small North Sydney oval including one against Qld where he scored 50 to Kwajah's 85. So I still think Khawaja beats him all up.

Yeah true Ringo! Unless they absolutely demoralize the competition and take 4-5 wickets a game then they have no chance of the award. But economic bowling and wicket taking is hard to do in this form of the game, thats for sure!

Yeah thats true, gotta divide his runs by 2 on that oval lol!

Bupa Shield has started, so changed the thread title for anybody who cares.

Vics vs NSW.

Boland has figures of 6/49, Fawad also has two wickets.

The_Captain · October 31, 2014, 07:00:23 PM

Boland skittling them!!!! Get him over to Dubai!!

Bill Manspeaker · October 31, 2014, 07:06:26 PM

from 2/129 to 8/266

would've prefered to watch that than watching the Aussies get pummeled

Chadd Sayers.

That is all.

Ringo · October 31, 2014, 09:07:34 PM

Fortunately he did not go on with it and Qld dominated to finish at 4/314 after the hatrick had them 3/25

Yeah bit disappointing that our other bowlers gave him no support. Credit to QLD for not collapsing after the hatrick.

Dave Hussey 100* off 121. He's still got it, absolutely hammering the debutante spinners. I know he's old but I would seriously consider giving him a crack at Tests, he averages 52 in first class for god's sake. Maybe that door has closed now unforunately.

I love him so much, I truly do.

Such a gun for so long, but underrated imo.
