Is it allowed?

Dorff with 2 wickets in his first 2 overs and his representing the Perth Scorchers proudly on the global stage.

 

[NYRB]

Australia v Australia right here

Big Show v The Dorff

Melbourne Stars v Perth Scorchers

 

[NYRB]

Im not sure but this kind of cricket beats the Ashes every day of the week. The traditionalists will be not happy to hear that but these games will be remembered for years to come, generations to come. Young ones all over the world now aspire to be the next Rinku Singhs, Andre Russells etc

 

[NYRB]

Perth Scorcher v Perth Scorcher

Faf v The Dorff

 

[NYRB]

Big Show with the No Look 94 metre hit for 6

 

[NYRB]

Big Show with 50 up from 25 balls

Dorff with 2 wickets in his first 2 overs and his representing the Perth Scorchers proudly on the global stage.

Had Faf dropped first ball as we'll.

Guys like him and Ellis are chronically underpaid.

Dorff would be one of the first picked for the T20 World Cup in 2024 for me.


An attack of : Ellis, Hazlewood, The Dorff and Zampa

 

[NYRB]

Let Cummins, Starc, Lyon concentrate on red ball cricket to prolong their careers in test form.

 

[NYRB]

Based on recent Big Bash and current IPL , i think a first XI Aussie team of :


Matt Short, Inglis, Cam Green, David, Maxwell, Stoinis, 1 of Ashton Agar/Ashton Turner/Aaron Hardie/Will Sutherland, Ellis, Dorff, Zampa, Hazlewood

 

[NYRB]

Agar gives u a 2nd spin option
Turner gives u a better batting option
Hardie is the best all rounder of that lot
Sutherland is the most powerful hitter of that lot

No Starc?

 

[NYRB]

No Starc?

Harsh but no. I dont think he has played that much T20 cricket in the BBL and hasnt played this IPL.

With Australia not winning the T20 World Cup on home soil, selectors will look at these comps closely in picking their team.


For the reason like Warner, I havent included him because he hasnt set the world on fire as well.

Most likely though selectors will stick with Warner and Starc due to their 'reputation'

 

[NYRB]

Damn I forgot Mitch Marsh.

Mitch Marsh, Inglis, Cam Green, David, Maxwell, Stoinis, 1 of Ashton Agar/Ashton Turner/Aaron Hardie/Will Sutherland, Ellis, Dorff, Zampa, Hazlewood

David Warner, Matthew Wade and Matt Short wouldnt get a game ahead of Mitch Marsh thats for sure.

 

[NYRB]

You may as well play a combined WA/Perth Scorcher XI in the World Cup- thats how good WA/Perth Scorchers are.

 

[NYRB]

Who does Dorff have to realistically beat to get a game in the national side?

Jhye? Unfortunately he keeps getting injured
Starc? Hasnt played enough domestic T20 cricket in BBL or IPL. Plus, not winning the T20 world cup, selectors are thinking what needs to change.
Cummins? His focus these days is on red ball cricket. He knows he will be judged on red ball cricket.
Meredith? The fact Dorff is playing ahead of him for Mumbai , suggests there is a pecking order.
Spencer Johnson? I admit he had a good season last season for the Heat. If he has another good season in the 23/24 BBL he may be a dark horse to make it.
Tye- Didnt get selected for this years IPL and from what Ive seen of him in national colours , usually got belted a fair bit at international level.


Also feel that Dorff playing on a winning teams and at the highest T20 level, gives himself a better chance than players from the Sixers, which includes : Sean Abbott and Dwarshuis.
