Hope now that McSweeney can have a good knock to make a statement here.

Pretty much - at this point, it is utterly predictable that Harris goes to water against any attack higher than State-level cricket.
He ain’t it. Time to look to the younger prospects, as we’ve mined this source for too long.

Hopefully McSweeney gets a big score I’m here or there Konstas or McSweeney but either one will do

If people want to watch this on Saturday that’s pushing it
Its all mental you can see it...when pressure is on players fall back into bad habits
Konstas playing away from his body
Bangers struggling to hit the ball falling over
Harris wafting outside off
same issues with Harris and bangers....konstas still young but needs to tighten up

Homer Simpson gif please
That’s what this is looking like
Honestly let’s just open with Lab and slot Inglis in
Opening bats in a bat off (so to speak...hehe. Maybe the way to decide it...haha) and looks like they got themselves a difficult pitch to bat on at the wrong time. I'm guessing it is difficult as I haven't watched.

Come on McSweeney. My preferred option (purely for the balance of the XI) is to shift someone else to the top of the order and bring Inglis in. But if they want a long-term prospect (which seems to be the case given McDonald's comments), McSweeney is the one IMO.

He basically plays as an opener for SA given how often we lose a wicket within the first few overs. Plenty of number 3s also go on to make great openers. His patient game and ability to punish bad balls makes him a perfect opener or number 3, really hope he cashes in here.

Let me put it this way, McSweeney has a better chance of runs than any of Konstas, Harris and Bancroft, in this innings
He’s actually valuing his wicket which is preferable

If these 2 both scored hundreds, I'm sure McSweeney would be the pick.
But either way, I'd love to see this turn into a real bat-off with them going head to head while batting together. What a unique contest.
edit: Bugger, jinxed it

Webster out.
Connolly looking to attack.
In all seriousness, he looks to have the big game temperament

If time at the crease is a metric the selectors are looking at then McSweeney is not doing himself any harm even if he's not gone through the gears yet.

I know it's a Thursday, but I thought a few more people would wander through the gates this arvo. This is a pretty bloody good standard of cricket to have in Mackay.
