Message: [QUOTE="Fitzy, post: 3576464, member: 9881"] First Davies innings of note but he has always been on the watch list along with his brother Joel. It will be the first of many I’m sure. Beau has been playing excellently but he just gives off perennial shield player vibes, I think he would probably have to do this for another 12 months and come 30 with really only opener spots opening up in the near future in the test scene he may not ever get a run. Never say never but unlikely. Been very good though. Marsh, Green and Hardie have rubber stamped that spot for a while between themselves and Neser currently would get picked long before Beau, you never, ever know though. That was much needed from Hunt. He’s fallen well behind in the race for Opener and needed something to get back in the race. At 26 he has time on his hands something others don’t have but he just simply doesn’t have the runs on the board recently to even threaten for the spots. Youth will help him but he needs runs now. Harris just doing what he usually does but I think at 31 having failed in the test environment he quite possibly won’t get picked regardless of if he averages a **** ton of runs cause he was doing the same when he last got picked. McSweeney. Gem. 24 has been a mass run-scorer at every level, technically so gifted, great fielder, good tactician and handy bowler if needed. If he doesn’t play for Australia he hasn’t reached his potential. For mine he jumps into the next man up at 3 or 4 now. He has done some incredible things at club level, 2nd XI level and now Shield level. I have always had an eye on him cause I have just been distantly associated with him through club land and stuff and you always knew he had it in him. Serial run-scorer once he gets comfortable at a level and he went to SA took a few matches where he showed the class. Started to get some runs, got the Aus A and heat opportunity last year where he played excellently and he hasn’t looked back. Been the best player for SA by a mile this season. I think he is a bit to fresh to get an opportunity for Australia this soon but he will undoubtedly be in the conversation and is second to none in that top-middle order role in shield at the moment. Currently the batting order would be re-jigged by the Aussies of something happened to Marnus and Smith but if he can snag another 1 or 2 before Christmas he could rocket into that backup place. Last thing you want to do is end up the squad member though. You want to time a good push to break into the side not sit in the squad. [/QUOTE]
