Definitely backing him to succeed. Can't think of the last Australian 19yo batsmen to have the resume he's got at that age. Phil Hughes maybe? Watched a lot of his twin tons in the shield and he just batted like a regulation opener. Hopefully he gets the ability to get off strike so the risky hots are not needed as often.
Dunno. I'd say probably not Paix but then I've hardly seen him play since he was out of the team. The only thing that separates the 3 is that Smoothy has the best pass imo.
Walters, Paix and Smoothy are all at the same level. Don't have any preference, whatever the coach sees over the offseason. Unless Maguire has worked miracles with Piakura then he's gotta start off the bench. Gosiewski should be able to start and just be solid, if he can't manage that then wtf was he bought for.
Neser was getting the new ball to hoop round corners. Massive amount of movement. Bartlett bowled well too, Konstas got him with a ramp.
Both games should have an interesting final day tomorrow.
