Sam Robson.. could walk into our Ashes squad off the back of his form to start the season. 6 innings, 3 50s and a 100. Pity no one from CA wants him

 

[aussie1st]

He would walk into basically all state sides including NSW. Teams like WA and SA in particular could use him.

Finally the 100s are coming, well done Rogers on cracking it.

I'm confused why you say "including NSW" - is it just because that's where he's from?

Because it's not like NSW have anything close to the best batting line up in Australian domestic cricket.

In any case, he looks a talent - but his current average doesn't suggest that he's anything wildly out of the box.

Cowan: 40, 35

Well done on converting the starts Ed.

 

[TassieEagle]

Well done on converting the starts Ed.

HE DID! Converted one of those frustrating 30's into a 40

 

[bossman111]

On Robson - his record is improving, at age 23, his best years are very much ahead of him. Has had made a really good start to the Champo season. Remember conditions aren't always easy over there (last season was a shocker for everyone with the rain and the bizarre rule of not rolling wickets after the start of play). Has destroyed Sydney grade cricket in the last couple of seasons. Has had a bit of press in the UK about his dual eligibility but not a lot back here. Would be a shame to lose him without a fight. Hopefully he keeps churning them out for Middlesex.. if purely for nothing but the blowups in the press boxes come Ashes time.

We will probably need a backup batsmen (in form) come the third test when everyone else has managed single digits in all their innings.

 

[sixteenstraws]

Rogers out for 214

 

[PTizzle]

Well done to Rogers

Good signs.

 

[Hellgood]

I would have Rogers opening the batting come the first test.

 

[JimDocker]

Rather than start another thread, I thought I would point out the form of Joe Root on here, as hopefully he will play a part in the Ashes. Yorkshire were set 336 to win on the last day against Durham and Root scored 186, getting out shortly before the target was reached.

The next match, against Derbyshire who scored 475 largely thanks to West Indian, Chesney Hughes who scored 270 not out. Root opened the batting and scored 236. Jonny Bairstow piped in with 186 and Yorkshire declared on 7 for 677.

Rich vein of form to start the season.

[crownie]

I would have Rogers opening the batting come the first test.

Arthurs is reported to have sent him a text after the innnings telling him to save some runs for the ashes.

 

[chargers 09]

I'm happy that Rogers is killing it.

[eth-dog]

Good innings from Marcus

 

[aussie1st]

Robson with back to back 100s, hope one of the State sides bring him over.

 

[The Speaker]

Robson with back to back 100s, hope one of the State sides bring him over.

I can't help but feel that he's already made the choice to play for England.

 

[aussie1st]

I get that to but may as well give it a go.

 

[Santana]

Cricket's reached new depths in this country if we have come to the point were we are going to beg an Australian who isn't anything special to play for Australia.

 

[bossman111]

Robson 215* overnight

 

[ROOTA#6]

Robson 215* overnight

Who cares...he's made his choice. Most of you blokes have already conceded to County Cricket isnt as strong as it once was and even then it was still below other first class comps ie: shield cricket
