Message: [QUOTE="1910, post: 2784854, member: 8272"] Isn't it up to the young batsmen to prove at Shield level they're up to it and score big 100's and 1000 runs in a season? No one is at the moment. I have made several points- this is our best batsmen at the moment. Until someone wants to score 1000 runs in a year and average 60. This is what we have at the moment. I don't think we can change anything. We can look at why we have stopped producing the sort of innings we saw yesterday by two South Africans but that's another conversation. Marsh is a perfect example; made one Shield 100- yet we scratch our head and say why can't be peel off Test 100's? Steve Waugh took 27 Tests to score his first 100; Marsh is up to Test 18. So he's tracking well with Waugh. Bowling wise I have said I am a big fan of Mennie and Sayers- both backed up by performance. Last year Mennie took 51 wickets. Sayers 37 wickets. Mennie is now being rewarded by being around the Test squad. Sayers has backed that up this season with 17 at an unbelievable 10.8 so far and would be a great selection for Adelaide under lights swinging it. South Australia have developed a nice trio of Sayers, Mennie and Worrall. [/QUOTE]
