Speirs is injured for the next game; Dave comes in. Extra pressure on the bowlers with one less bowling option.
I heard Jacobs was on standby to be rushed into the squad. Its on the back of Speirs' injury and Wilson's rumoured retirement from rep cricket.
It's more the fact that our bowling has been a lot better than our batting than my failures. Dave's a better bat than me and we need that more than the extra bowling, particularly with Flack in the team and coming off a few really good seasons with the pill.
Team for the semi-final against GB: 1. <a href=http://cricsim.com/site/players.php?id=43>DR Armstrong</a> 2. <a href=http://cricsim.com/site/players.php?id=57>DG Speirs</a> (6) 3. <a href=http://cricsim.com/site/players.php?id=91>DW Lewis</a> 4. <a href=http://cricsim.com/site/players.php?id=171>AJ Parker</a> 5. <a href=http://cricsim.com/site/players.php?id=98>MR Hayes</a> 6. <a href=http://cricsim.com/site/players.php?id=58>SA Flack</a> (4, 5) 7. <a href=http://cricsim.com/site/players.php?id=50>JB Dempsey</a> 8. <a href=http://cricsim.com/site/players.php?id=76>L Tyson</a> (1) 9. <a href=http://cricsim.com/site/players.php?id=115>SB Wilson</a> (5, 4) 10. %SM Green (2) 11. <a href=http://cricsim.com/site/players.php?id=270>JP Wilkinson</a> (3) Bullpitt and Gonzalez are both out injured. Speirs returns from injury to take Gonzalez's place while Wilkinson will play his first game for the Blues since Season 6 Origin.

Mate, after that game, there's no way Gonzo can get a spot in the team again. He didn't score one bloody run!
Haha, he will definitely come back in - but probably for Hayes, not you. I'll have to look at the stats. No more games for NSW until mid next season anyway though so club form will play a role.
