The Under 19 Australian Team Thread

[Freezin]

Imagine not giving a 10/10 to someone who averaged over 100 across a series.

Mate, I guess it's like not giving Crawley 10/10 for that big 100 he scored during the Ashes...looked dodgy AF for most of it....

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Dixon is a real prospect. Pity Warner is reportedly his cricketing hero.

Otherwise it is terrific to see some young talent coming through.

When I woke up the next day and people were calling it one of the all-time great innings I was a little bemused... I saw his first 100 and thought it was one of the luckiest tons I'd ever seen so assumed the next 80odd must have been some of the best batsmanship you'd see.

Just because it was a big score doesn't necessarily mean it's one of the great knocks... as you say, it certainly wasn't 10/10 aside from the total

In the end that's all that matters, the scorebook doesn't show how it happened, but it certainly was incredibly lucky.

Lots of rain in SA last night. Couldn't finish the match. Spicy pitch by the looks of things. Was struggling to chase down 171. Anderson the standout with the ball with 4 wickets. Dixon run out for a diamond

No SAussie players! Good to see one from Tassie tho, Aidan O'Connor a Tigers rookie this season. Is only 17. Was not all that impressed with Straker against the Poms, Reynolds and Vernon (WA) performed better.

Where did you get that info Santana. Nothing on cricinfo

Anderson impressed me with his all round ability in the home leg of the Pom Test series.

great, rolled Namibia for 91.

 

[toml]

Vidler's the quickest u19 Aus bowler I can remember seen. Swings it at pace too.

Couple absolute seeds in his first spell tonight.

 

[IKnowtheDog]

Rolling Namibia for 91 was a nice start, however losing six wickets in the chase is a bit of a worry

My thoughts as well.....hopefully a few of those wickets were lost in the pursuit of quick runs to help boost the NRR

 

[BGman]

Check out this ripper from Callum Vidler to open his spell. That late swing could have been from Starc..

 

[Santana]

They made a meal out of that geez

 

[Coops93]

Dixon looks like a very classy player.

There was a fair amount of swing there and that pitch didn't look the easiest to bat on imo, it didn't exactly look to be coming onto the bat purely for either side.

In saying that I only watched the highlights so I could be completely wrong. Just based on that vid it didn't look like a batters day out there.

Fair bit of sideways movement combined with a strange tennis ball type bounce that was a little uneven at times. Weibgen was the only one from either side that appeared untroubled in his innings.

Reminds me of Steyn.

 

[1990crow]

Straker will struggle I think as he goes up the ranks. Action too awkward.

 

[1990crow]

See a bit of Gilchrist in Dixon

 

[toml]

Great foundation set by the openers, Aus 1/154, Konstas out for 45, Dixon 77no, Weibgen 30no.

 

[toml]

A lot of Shaun Marsh in the way Dixon bats imo
