    Look at the scoreboard NSW 443 Vs WA 152, see NSW's number is leading
    WA's number. WA has 8 wickets in hand to overcome this lead.

    How about you explain how NSW are "building a huge lead" while WA are
    batting. Are WA scoring negative runs?

    Atm I'd hazard that Wade is the most nervous of the Test middle-order. If

    #6. According to cricket.com.au (Andrew Webster) Green will be bowling
    again "later in the season".

    Perhaps he meant 'meteorite'?

    Anyway, Websters' Cricket.com.au has been a Kiss of Death for NSW so far.
    For three consecutive days prior to this Shield game CCU published fluff
    pieces on NSW players. The Cursed Ones being, Hughes (23), Conway (1/76)
    and Lyon (2/112).

    Atm I'd hazard that Wade is the most nervous of the Test middle-order. If
    he went then it's Head to #5 (a more suitable spot for a FAC) and Green @ #6.

    I'd say you're right
    Burns needs a couple of good series but Green isn't challenging for an opening spot so that doesn't matter
    Head would be a bit nervous but I think Wade's the one under more threat right now

    Both of them would want to have a couple of good series in a row to make sure they aren't the one to give way

    According to cricket.com.au (Andrew Webster) Green will be bowling
    again "later in the season".

    Yeah, as I understand it they've been doing work on his action to try and reduce the stress and they're not confident that it'll hold up in a match yet
    It's a big jump to test level but he seems like Australia's best chance at a genuine "bat in the top 6 with a good average, take a significant amount of wickets at a good average" allrounder since Miller


    alvey
    Having a snort at Webster's description of, Abbott, Conway, Copeland & Lyon as a "world class attack".

    Not up with Conway at all and I haven't seen the other seamers much over the last few years. It looks like a reasonable first class attack but that's the highest I'd rate it.
