Next Generation

would love to watch it

Looks like there may be some sort of stream today.

 

[Bucking Beads]

That knock from Lachlan Hearne in CA XI team is sure to get him noticed.

 

[western royboy]

He needs to go and play first class and work on his bowling. Being tall and having long fingers is not a point of difference for a finger spinner these days and does not make you a better bowler or give you X factor. Look at sulieman benn.

I’m not sure that’s how it works anymore…no depth in FC red ball games means some regimes/selectors are keen to identify talent and just stick them ie Bethell and Bashir.

Australia A squad:

Goodwin
Patterson
Ward
Philippe
Hardie
Edwards (c)
Sutherland
Rocchiccioli
Bartlett
Doggett
O'Neill
Buckingham

looks a little bowler heavy too me, although there doesn't seem to be too many out and out batsmen these days.

most bats seem to either bowl a bit or keep.

Me too. Ward pleased to see but no Henry Hunt who has three tons and sits top of table. Or does CA now have him as next in line to open. Edwards (c) and a top order bat, get off the grass. Dislike too that top three bats are all lefties.

 

[Ohitsthatguy]

Where's Henry Hunt at?

Did I hear correctly that Freddies boy chosen for the Lions is only 17 .

Wouldn't surprise me, I've heard several times over the past few years that there's big raps on him.

Still only 16. Born in April 2008.

I agree. Would of been nice to see one of Davies, Kellaway or even Sangha in there

To those who watched. How did Charlie Anderson bowl? He had pretty good figures.

He wasn't my main one to watch from the u19WC bowling attack (That'd be Vidler, then Beardman) but its good to see him play well. I don't think hes even played in the second XI yet, so he'll definitely be one to watch to see where he plays in in the next year.

Bowled well but not as accurate as he is capable. While Mahli is a tearaway, Callum swings at pace, I see Charlie more in the vein of Hazlewood, a specialist seamer.

 

[Around the Wicket]

Having an absolute dog of a BBL season.

I still have a lot of faith he'll make it, although I imagine a lot of people on this board will disagree with me.

He'll be the type of player that averages no more then 20 but once or twice a T20 tournament will whack a few.

 

[year of the roo]

For the next CAXI game starting on the 22nd, I hope they draft a few more BBL contracted guys in from teams whose season is over like Scorchers, Renegades etc and field a stronger more experienced team. Guys like McMillan, Hicks, Anderson's time might (or might not) come. They don't need to be playing this. Pick some guys on verge of national selection and needing of red ball cricket.

 

[Coops93]

He'll be the type of player that averages no more then 20 but once or twice a T20 tournament will whack a few.

Averaged 37 at a S/R of 230 with 4 50s in 9 IPL matches 6 months ago, including 2 off 15 balls and another off 18 or something. He's better than won't average 20 but will whack a few sometimes.

He still has work to do, though. Needs to reign his slogging back in and play shots again and imo build into an innings more. He needs to stop being hyped so much and maybe have some more critical feedback imo but I think if given the right structure will be a great short form player.

White ball players in a red ball tour. No way.

McMillan, Hicks, Anderson's time might (or might not) come.

These kids are the future of Aussie Test cricket. They and Beardman, Vidler, Dixon, Weigman, Davies, Jamieson, Singh, all guys that took down the Poms last year in the Junior Ashes. Konstas among them .

of course he'll go through purple patches but he won't have consistency over the long term, he isn't good enough.

He may prove me wrong but all ive seen is him stepping away trying to cut or trying to hit to cow corner, reminds me of a old park slogger.

Ward and Handscomb have the target down to 100. Still no live stream, poor show CA.

Ward tons up, then with only 7 needed for victory Brissie weather intervenes

In what way? It's balls hot here in Brisbane today.

The storm that ripped out trees is probably what he was referring to

Thanks for the update. Has anyone here actually watched Hogan bat? If so, can you describe his style? All I can find actually written about him is that he is a 'classy right-hander'.

 

[BGman]

Move over Usman as Tim Ward is gunning for your spot after driving CAX1 to victory over England Lions yesterday. The Sydney born Tassie #1/#3 has now posted scores of 96, 94, 142 and 115* in his last four matches, three FC. The most pleasing thing for selectors will be his two maximums on the trot.

 

[Mostyn]

No video coverage but commentary said players went off for rain 7 runs short. Then returned some time later to finish the job.

It was so bloody hot, it could have rained and you still wouldn't have gotten wet ...

Two fc centuries in his career average mid 30s. They don’t have to copy bazball that much.
