I’m willing to admit that the Victorian selectors know more than I do about who should be selected.
Even Ray Bright.
I am willing to admit that, but I still must say that when one is trying to win a home final and all but ensure a Sheffield pura Shield cup victory, one must take its best bowlers.
According to media scuttlebutt (always wanted to use that word), Dirty Dirk Nannes and Gerard Denton are fit.
Yet, they are not playing Western Australia.
I understand this is some sort of operation cotton wool, keep the boys fit for the final.
But if they final is played in Sydney, reanimating the corpses of Ponsford & Miller may not help against a test strength NSWales.
In Melbourne I think we can win, even against Lee, Clarke, Clark, Jacques and Bracken.
In Sydney, not so much.
Today’s fast bowling line up is still pretty strong, Harwood, the Mule Wise and Lucky McKay.
It’s not a bad line up, but Dirty Dirk and Denton stroll into that line up, and Dirty Dirk likes the Waca.
Just a little odd is all.
Oh and I don’t really think the selectors are cleverer than me.

350 in a day, does 't look like home final material to me...
damn, these tassie tail can bat.
honours about even right now in NSW V vic V tas V WA, 7 / 362 and 6/366
the similarities in these two games are uncanny. 2 early wickets a piece.
NSW slightly ahead now in the race for first finnings points - Katich and Hughes getting set, more runs on the board for our 2 wickets, and a lower target. Bugger that we're missing Haddin though
