He's faster than Hunt, but Hunt does everything else better. Mam isn't making up the ground in the next 10 weeks while he's on the sidelines. Honestly don't see him fitting in.
I kinda feel the same way about ODI'S. Couldn't really care about bilaterals and they are forgotten as soon as they are over, and the upcoming CC is particuarly pointless and stupid. But the ODI World Cup is still really good and the best thing outside of test cricket, it'd be a shame for it to go.
Yeah from the under 19 WC side 7 of them played state cricket in the last week. Plus Weibgen has a full state contract and Peake debuted in the BBL just after turning 18 and went on the Sri Lanka tour.
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...
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...
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.
