Surprise surprise....Stoinis teases folk once again with an explosive 100....all a bit late Marcus...where was all this bravado in the WC when needed?.....good start by the WA boys....any win over the Vics is a good one....

Hit the ball as well as he did at Eden Park vs NZ a couple of years ago but we need more of it from Stoinis not just once every couple of years.
The likes of Bancroft, S.Marsh, Stoinis obviously much prefer the Australian roads compared to those Pommy pitches that is for sure.

Seriously?....Cam Green misses out on a gig to Hilton Cartwright in today's game....FMD....

Just curious why is this tournament called the Marsh Cup? Surely not in honour of the Marsh brothers? Then who? Rodney, Geoff?

The sponsor of the tournament Marsh is an American based Insurance Broking and Risk Management mob I think?

Thank christ for that, just seemed weird. Thanks for that BH.

why are they not showing the full games on television?
Is it available on the ACB web site?

Cartwright's fc average is just 29.56 if you take out his eight 'not outs'.
He has survived, of course, because two or three others, whom the WACA has finally released, had batted even worse then him in recent seasons.

If you give MR Marsh's fc the same treatment, you get the following number:

27.21

All this in an era of flat pitches in the Shield, too.

Not sure about the ABC but wouldn't think so mate. Fox has the rights and they have been showing the games on 501 or 502.

AR the games have either been on Fox Cricket (501) or the Cricket Network on the CA web page.

The pro NSW commentary yesterday couldnt believe the NSW 2nd XI didnt win yesterday which is probably a fair comment considering the dreadful umpiring by Blocker Wilson who was doing his level best to get NSW up with some astonishing lbw turn downs and finally the WA bowlers started to actually bowl yorkers at the stumps (which have always been and are still the hardest ball to score from) instead of short crap or half volleys!
