2nd ODI Australia v West Indies Feb 4 1400hrs @ the SCG

[Around the Wicket]

Think Inglis should've gone down to him and told him to pull his head in a bit. But it was a very enjoyable 5 balls.

Inglis should have took the first over to let him settle in.

 

[MJG14]

best Oz debut since Quiney's 9?

Was going to post the same thing!

 

[JimmyBC]

I don't mind a debut like that he's 21 & full of spunk, the learning starts now from getting games you don't curtail his instincts he'll work it out.

 

[Tugga27]

I like the kid but the commentary is so far over the top, it's not funny.

The "danger man".


Really Junior?

Was a good opportunity. Weaker opposition and we bat pretty deep today. Worth the shot

He has a 29 ball century for the redbacks. He does pose a danger.

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

Jake has a relatively fast bat speed as the bat he uses is no where near as big as some of the bigger ones grown men use.

Agreed, alot of pressure on a kid that average's 20 in FC cricket 20 in T20 cricket and 36 in List A cricket.

 

[danielnajdek]

If people get frustrated at the way Maxy bats then McGurk will be a whole new level. He will annoy people with the way he gets out.

 

[Jimthegreat]

Jake's ODI career so far has a massive 200 strike rate!

 

[Del125763]

Im not sure if its me, but I havent seen as bumpy as a SCG wicket as I have today.

Id imagine the ball will deviate for a quite alot of the deliveries today.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Awful shot

 

[Around the Wicket]

Smith and Green will both get 50+ we all know it.

 

[norway blue]

Nice catch. Good to see Joseph get reward.

Not exactly new information that Fraser-McGurk tries to belt literally everything and this is the result most of the time but so great to see him do it on the big stage, well deserved

 

[Santana]

We'll be like the other nations and unable to win ODI WCs if our next generation aren't willing to bat 50 overs.

You do need some serious striking with the way the game is going though. Obviously you need a balance. It was more the bowling at the end of the World Cup that won us it anyways.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Smith in for the 4th over

 

[Drakescoffeecake]

If Matt Short had done what he's done but playing for a Sydney team he'd be opening today

 

[Torz]

I can’t understand how he isn’t opening in this side.

 

[Cleavy]

are we batting too cocky after last game?

 

[largebus]

Hopefully Short and Hardie get a chance to actually bat today.

Green will look awful until he gets to 25

 

[Del125763]

You need to pay a bit of respect to the wicket. Clearly the wicket isnt as good as a batting deck as the MCG.

best Oz debut since Quiney's 9?

It was the most magnificent 10 runs in cricket history.

 

[Del125763]

Australia could have made 350 batting first at the MCG the way they batted the other day. One feels 270 might be a pretty decent target given the team have today batting first. Overheads also good for bowling as well.

Really Junior?

Yes, over hyping young players never helps
