The Under 19 Australian Team Thread

Might be time to give Ollie Peake a run, Singh has struggled.

A shame since he was good on the England tour

Didnt realise Ollie Peake has already been named in this side. Bit harsh on Aitken who was brilliant with the gloves and didn't get a chance to bat last match.

 

[PhatBoy]

You’re all wasting your time watching anyway.

Windies have the tournament at their mercy

 

[Santana]

We have stalled big time here. 250 will be a good total right now

Peake in now, chance to get a look

 

[toml]

Few older blokes could take note of the way Peake was backing up to get back in his ground. Great awareness

100 to Weibgen, what a knock!

Announcing himself.
England's bowling hasn't been that impressive though.

Their spinning group has been pretty good, pace attack looks just okay

 

[Santana]

Weibgen putting on a show now. 270 may be in reach

Probably 30 or so short than what we were looking at making before the spinners tied a few of the boys down in the middle

Pitch isn’t a road. Should be enough.

Yeh, I posted that before Macmillan's late blitz, still think they were tied down more than we would have hoped through the middle overs. Was looking like 280+ at one point.

Our quicker scorers got themselves out cheaply.

 

[1990crow]

Dropped in slips. Poor.
Edit: Vidler follows up that disappointing situation with a quick out swinging lbw.

Don't need your fielders to back you when you bowl them like that Cal, beauty.

Hicks's fault really, went for it and pulled out and completely put the fielder off. Hicks is a pretty poor keeper compared to what I have seen of Aitken, might end up costing up later in the tournament.

Hicks could make this side as a bat only. I’d drop Singh.
Anderson bowling rubbish.

I imagine Qld will give him a rookie contract next season, get him working with Bichel on a regular basis and work a bit on his patience/discipline and he could be a star. Tends to go back of a length pretty quickly rather than keeping it up in the right areas longer. Does have a great short ball though, so I can understand why he gets drawn to bowl it.

He’s a young quick. Normal to be learning these things.
It’s his natural talent that excites me.

 

[1990crow]

Straker just not sure he’s this level to be honest.

 

[Santana]

Vidler has 4 now

Just has all the tools. Once he learns consistency he will be an Australian player.

Looks to be a good group of young players coming through for Australia’s next generation.

He looks capable of playing state cricket immediately post the champs. Players who swing the ball at that pace are worth their weight in gold.

 

[1990crow]

Yep. If Cummins can do it, Vidler can.
