fearlessone77 said:I cant beleive that News Article said Sydney Born , he may well be sydney born but he played all his junior cricket in Perth playing for Melville before he got an offeer he couldnt refuse to go play for University in the WACA penant comp. Fricking Eastern Seaboard centric media. His formative cricket was all in Perth.
To be fair, the article came from the BBC, not the Aussie media....surprised there was no mention of his Western Australian background, although eddie can claim in future that Rogers kept one of the Vics out of the side because of "NSW bias."
Terrific knock by the young man- did a little check from last eyar- he did not play with Australia a, but scored 46 in the PMs XI match against the Pakistanis.With Langer and Hayden getting up in years, maybe Mr. Rogers will come to the neighbourhood soon....certainly the selectors will have seen him.....
