+x+x+xThe south coast boy Gilkes with his first List A half ton. Tye death bowling is the difference between 320 and 350. Invaluable in this format. Do we have a better bowler in the last 10 overs than AJ.. I dont care how old he is. Kane Richardson is next best. His namesake is still learning this aspect of his game. Tye is going at 10 runs an over Baggers in the final stages. Jhye Richardson was better, they only scored 1's and an occasional 2 off his bowling. NCN still bowls well at the death, what's he now 30? Tye only went for 3 fours, a 6 and a cupla 2s off his death overs and removed Hughes and Bertus with clever change ups. His figures were hi going into the death overs. Richardson is a fast learner..clever death bowling from him. Coulter-Nile has been inconsistent over the years at the death.

+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+xi'd advocate our two all rounders be maxwell and marsh. I don't think stoinis is as good although his bowling has improved would love a ben stokes though Maxwell has done his dash. Time to draw a line thru his name. His batting has been and remains inconsistent and unreliable @32. One ton/19 fifties from 110 games. Mediocre at best. His his bowling even worse @50. When selectors are picking a bloke for his fielding alone there is something very amiss. It is time to give Ashton Agar the Maxwell role. His white ball figures definitely need to be better but imo.. this is mainly due to his lack of opportunity. He has had a lot of injury at the wrong times. On his day he can destroy any attack so is suited to a finishing or even an opening role. While his bowling is under rated imo. He too is a gun fielder. I don't think Ashton has the requisite batting. Quality allrounders can be hard to find at times. There was a time due to Watto and Symonds that Harvey couldn't play for Aus. He'd walk into the team now. Ben Cutting is 32, so 36 next world cup, but he'd give you an additional death bowling option. Prob still a bit light on runs, but a definite power hitter. I'd just get rid of the Maxwell role altogether. 1 Warner 2 Finch 3 Khawaja 4 SMarsh 5 S Smith 6 Carey+ 7 Cutting/Neser 8 Cummins 9 Starc 10 Pattinson/Jhye/Dhrof 11 Lyon Stoinis and Maxwell keep stuffing up at 5 and 6. I'd just go one allrounder and pick one that will give me 10 overs. Losing a few early wickets won't worry a top order with Smith at 5 - even if you look lighter with the bat at 7. Plus you will bowl better. Of course the problem with my theory is ----- India will host the next world cup. And Maxwell's spin will bring him into the equation.... So... 1 Warner 2 Finch 3 Khawaja 4 S Smith 5 Labu 6 Maxwell 7 Carey 8 Cummins 9 Starc 10 Dhorf 11 Lyon... may not be a daft idea in persuing. Didn’t have the greatest WC, but Coulter-Nile is another all-rounder in the mix. Another one with a decent yorker. Similar to Agar though - a little lacking in the runs department. But then what does Stoinis really offer as a bowler? His average and SR are both 43 Right now there is a focus on the World t20. But even the 2021 tournament will be India. Stoinis isn't developing as he should be. He isn't really developing. He has been worked out at intls, and needs a new game plan. But he is yet to execute one. I have applauded him, defended him, and now I am over him. He just isn't working out his game. Carey appears to be the opposite, started slow and just getting better and better. Maxwell is just frustrating. But, he has a fair record vs spin, and offers a spin option, in Asia. So I think he simply gets lucky with the fact that back to back tournaments, wt20 in 2021 and WC in 2023 are all due to be hosted in India. I would be very tempted, to tell Finch, Maxwell and Smith that 10 overs are wanted between them minimum, and that 5 or 6 of those are expected to come from Maxwell, and look after the 2020 in Aus next year to do this: 1 Finch 2 Warner 3 Khawaja 4 Smith 5 Next best bat 6 Carey 7 Maxwell 8 Patty, Starc, NCN/Dorf.Jhye 11 Lyon Yes the Maxwell problem. http://www.howstat.com/cricket/Statistics/Players/PlayerCountries.asp?PlayerID=3969#bat These aren't exactly earth shattering figures in India. CA has to bite the bullet and jettison Maxwell. His inconsistency hurts Australia. There is one young batting/slow bowling all rounder that is emerging nicely and cud play a like for like role to Maxwell.. Bushie team mate Matt Short. He is impressing me ever game he plays. Ashton Agar cud also play the Maxwell role if given the chance. He will be keen to build on his bowling after picking up a pair of 3fors..and at the spin unfriendly WACA. Yeah but India is a very good team. So I look at all of Asia, seeing the world cup involves more teams than just India... :P I really don't see this Agar batting talent at all. And his bowling seems rather innocuous to me. Your not alone there, neither do the selectors, I have rarely seen him do much at domestic level either, I don't know why he keeps getting the Cricket contracts, Yeah - for mine, in India - if it came down to Maxwell or Agar playing as an AR, I'd still begrudgingly go with Maxwell until something clearly better as a potential option establishes itself. Maxwell's record in Asia is more than solid in pyjama cricket. You blokes kill me. Had Agar been given even half the chances Maxwell has had we may now be saying he is a must for the ODI bits and pieces spot. Of course his Indian record is more solid.. Agar has..from memory.. only played with a touring A side in India. His List A figures then were more than acceptable.

+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+xI certainly dont agree with you over Oliver Davies. You love rubbishing kids that are still finding their way in senior cricket. Not that this is any great criteria to any top level red ball he may play.. but he was one of few to score a 200 in a national U19 match.. perhaps the only one. Not sure what stats you are seeing but he starred in the U19 series against the Kiwis in July.. scores of 59, 48, 51.. two wkts plus a couple of half centuries in Sri Lanka in January. This may give you some idea of his red ball promise. He was just 17 when he took apart seasoned Premier Cricket bowlers for his club. Bold prediction. This kid will play Test cricket for Australia. https://youtu.be/tGVKDd-rhHk Not rubbishing anyone, I like to watch how they develop at different levels, before I make any big calls, which is what the media should do. Too much pressure leads to failure more times than not. Oliver Davis I will wait to see how he goes at first grade club level, which I would imagine should improve this year, possibly into the Futures this year, then onwards. The youtube video correct me if I'm wrong is 2nd grade back in 2017, good batting no doubt, but he has moved up to 1st grade now, and what he does now is far more important than what he did 2 years ago. Averaging 32 not as impressive against a better quality of bowler, give him time before making the big calls, Australia is a long way off for a player averaging 32 at club level. Just give the kid a break and let him develop at his own pace, don't fast track him. Sangha is a typical example of what can happen if too quick....a lot of failures at a level he's not ready for leads to undermining confidence which you see at club level averaging only 29. So averaging 29 at club cricket hardly surprising averaging 21 at shield. Far to quick on the promotion. Personally I've been more impressed with MacKenzie Harvey, and as we discussed previously, not getting as much notice but Victoria have thrown him into T20 format far too quickly for my liking as well. Agree on Henry Hunt for ACT and I agree that it is time for ACT team, but that is it I would hate to see numerous state teams then you end up like England, a couple of good players the rest average, not good for the next step up which is international.
The ACT and perhaps one from the NT. The ACT wud boast a competitive side with players the calibre of Nick Winter, Jason Avendano, Matthew Gilkes, Henry Hunt and Tom Rogers forming the nucleus of the side. There is also Nick's young brother Jake who has had some big wraps. Arjun Nair also hails from the national capital. I am backing Sangha for a breakout summer. If not he needs to be sent back to PC to work on his red ball game. There are several of my fellow posters calling for his inclusion in the summer Tests. In the test team? Sangha averages under 24. Oh please pick him vs NZ. He's nowhere near ready, yet. What is he going to do when Boult or Abbas hits hit their length and does not change it. Or when Wagner sets the leg side field and goes short ball after ball? Sangha averages under 24 at FC, he has not worked the game out yet that suits him. Most think he will. CA is investing into him on the promise shown that he will. But he has not worked his approach to the game out yet, successfully. Once he gets that flurry of runs, those back to back centuries, once you see him dominant in the FC scene, with consistent run scoring, then he is ready for test cricket. But not before. I have the same issue with Hetmeyer for WI. One FC century, and in the test team, its far too soon. Its not just earning the cap, its about knowing enough about their own game to have a successful approach. If you're not succeeding at FC, you're not ready for test cricket. I worry that they may have wrecked Hetmeyer for life now as a test player. He's just going to be a filthy careless slogger, cos they got him selected to begin with - "the way I play" speech. A lot is made about Sangha because he scored a century against England. What a lot fail to realise is Broad and Woakes had basically finished bowling for the warm up game before Sangha even came to the crease. He only really faced Ali and Crane for the majority of the innings, as England were closing up not wearing out the bowlers for the upcoming test. In the first innings of the same game he faced 3 deliveries from Woakes and went for 0. Away from home last year these are Sangha's scores Adelaide 12 and 33, Perth 5 and 4, Victoria 0 and 0, Brisbane 15 and 0, Tasmania 37 and 0, Final 21 and 4 average away from NSW is 11. When the quality of attack improves eg Victoria he scored 0. He may know how to play where he is familiar with conditions and pitches, but he needs to develop away from home, just to keep his place in the state side. I'd like to know who is looking at these results and calling for his selection in the Australian team. How he is still in the state side is still a mystery to me If people were impressed by his England innings what about Matt Short, who also scored a century and av 40+ at first class level, has a lot better record away from Victoria. How could anyone select Sangha over Short?? I am not considering Matt Short so there would be no way I'd consider Sangha. Not to mention about 50 other batsmen playing in Australia currently. IMO Paddles Sangha is too tall for a batsman, he's 6 foot if I remember correctly, not overly tall but still on the higher end of the spectrum, and taller batsmen rarely make it, t he theory being is that short batsmen are better aided in their balance by their height, how much this is true I don't know, but it does seem to have some support considering history. Most of the best are between 5 foot 5 to 5 foot 7, but there are a few exceptions maybe Sangha is one of them who knows. Shorter people naturally have a lower centre of gravity, but that's not the major thing for me, given most baseball players are over 6 foot. Its actually the bowlers's length. The shorter you are, the more difficult it is for a bowler to hit a length that is to short to drive and too full to pull as it is a smaller target. Tall batsmen, there is far more room for error for the bowler's hitting length as an easier target. Tall people are also a bigger target when it comes to the short pitched stuff. So the Lloyd's, Greigys. and Petersons are rarer. Most of the best are between 5 foot 5 to 5 foot 7, but there are a few exceptions maybe Sangha is one of them who knows.
That is definitely true. A couple more that come to mind up round 6 foot with not too shabby careers.. Rahul Dravid and Venkat Laxsman (not sure of spelling). Only Aussie that springs to mind is one Gregory Stephen Chappell. Chappell was 6 foot 1 Bill Lawry 6 foot 2 and Hayden was 6 foot 2, Ian Chappell, Mike Hussey and Adam Gilchrist were 5 foot 11 but they're the only tallish batsmen for Australia that I can thick of unless you look at the all- rounders. Paddles remember Sangakkara standing alongside Michael Vandort at 2 metres, that showed how small Sanga was and didn't you have "2 metre Peter" Fulton I’d like to know who have bucked the trend to be the world’s shortest fast bowlers? When I was at the waca the other day I noticed Jhye Richardson was reasonably diminutive. He looks taller on tv! Good pick up Bob, Jhye is shorter under 6 foot (178cms) but he does look taller. I thought Pattinson but he is over 6 foot (186 cms). But the team that had shorter bowlers is SA Steyn (179cms) Philander is 5 foot 8 (172 cms). Malcolm Marshall comes in at 180cms. Really quick bowlers that were short would be Fidel Edwards as is Malinga. Bumrah is under 6 foot, but most would be over Also Darren Gough! That’s who I was trying to think of. He looked shorter because he was stocky, not wiry like Richardson. Gough was/is 180cm as well.

https://www.cricket.com.au/series/marsh-sheffield-shield-2019-20/ty5uMuEl3USHcHTU8qOL5AOne week before the return of pure cricket. This promises to be one of the most important Shield seasons for some time as there are several openings for Test places after some abysmal batting on the Ashes tour. I see the problem spots as opening, #6 and the third quick in our attack. Will it be Starc, Pattinson or Jhye Richardson.

Is CA giving our Ashes heroes Josh Hazlewood and Pat Cummins an extra three weeks in some exotic holiday location instead of playing them in the first Shield game of the season. Yes.. again we have this ludicrous policy of putting our quicks in cotton wool rather than playing them. Both will miss the first two matches..with Haze returning for the last two while Cummo will only play one of the four scheduled games. Hell.. CA there is a Test series next month and you are resting the engine room of our Test attack.

Matthew Wade and Tim Paine have both been named in Tasmania’s squad for their opening Shield match in Perth, while Cameron Bancroft will be hoping to push his case after a disappointing Ashes campaign with the bat.
WA quick Jhye Richardson is also expected to make his Shield return after missing the winter campaigns due to a shoulder injury, Mitch Marsh will captain the side. In Melbourne.incumbent Test opener Marcus Harris will be hoping to impress in Victoria’s Shield opener against South Australia also after an abysmal Ashes, while Redbacks skipper Travis Head will be aiming for a bright start to the Shield season after he was axed for the final Ashes Test at The Oval.T Glenn Maxwell, Aaron Finch, Peter Handscomb, Will Pucovski and Alex Carey are also set to feature in the high-profile clash at Junction Oval.

Mike we were talking about this incredible knock this week. Bryce Street has earmarked himself as one to watch after the 21 year old opener from Qld's Sunshine Coast posted the biggest individual score in state second XI history this week. Street had never previously made a ton in 19 games in the competition, but finally broke through at Brisbane's Ian Healy Oval against Victoria and remarkably pushed on to rack up a mammoth 345 to help Bulls FL record an innings-and-105-run victory.The 21-year-old, who has 12 Premier Cricket centuries to his name, batted for 430 balls and eight-and-a-half hours across days two and three.. https://www.cricket.com.au/~/-/media/News/2019/10/03streetrecord.ashx?w=1600

Several blokes on the periphery of test selection have warmed up for the Shield season with Premier Cricket red ball centuries. The most pleasing for me is Matt Renshaw.. 136 for Toombul. This follows a pair of 50s in the Marsh Cup. After a dreadful 12 months is the former Test opener back to form and ready to tear open the shield comp and recapture his Test spot.. Others to ton up for their respective clubs were Jake Lehmann and Max Bryant. With the ball..the oft overlooked Trent Copeland took 5/21 for St George in Sydney.

Tasmania have promoted assistant coach Jeff Vaughan to take over the main coaching role during the Sheffield Shield portion of the season in a move designed to give head coach Adam Griffith a different perspective on Tasmania's cricket program while developing Vaughan's coaching credentials.

Tasmania squad: Matthew Wade (Captain), George Bailey, Jackson Bird, Alex Doolan, Jake Doran, Caleb Jewell, Ben McDermott, Riley Meredith, Lawrence Neil-Smith, Tim Paine, Alex Pyecroft, Sam Rainbird, Jordan Silk.
The Warriors are dragging the chain as per usual.
The selectors from my state never learn. While concentrating on picking three blokes that are not ready for FC cricket in Jason Sangha, Jack Edwards and brother Mickey, they ignore emerging talent like Macalister Wright, Henry Hunt and Iain Carlisle. Hunt is now in the hands of SACA and will make his FC debut for the Redbacks while Wright, Carlisle and fellow Sydney quick Lawrence Neil-Smith are on the Tassie Tiger's books.

Hunt is now in the hands of SACA and will make his FC debut for the Redbacks while Wright, Carlisle and fellow Sydney quick Lawrence Neil-Smith are on the Tassie Tiger's books. This is how one Cricinfo journo describes Josh Philippe.. have to agree word for word.
Josh Philippe has already caught the attention of Australian cricket followers with some dynamic performances. He made his first Shield hundred last season but his performances tailed off after the BBL and he was left out of the team at one stage. He seems best suited to the middle order and the only question is can he develop the consistency needed and learn to work up and down the gears depending on the different scenarios middle-order players face in first-class cricket. His talent is absolutely undeniable. Philippe's situation is a prime example where the BBL break in the Shield season kills momentum for red ball cricketers. As the young West Aussie also has the game for white ball he is a BBL target.. so plays both formats. It can not be easy to switch from one format..back and then back again and maintain form.

The same scribe had this to say.
It's hard to call a man who has played 11 Tests, and has a Test century, a young gun but Matt Renshaw is the youngest of Queensland's regulars and is a player many are expecting to rise again. At just 23, he still has so much time to forge a path at international level. He slipped out of Test calculations after a poor summer last year but there is a lot of excitement about his form in the pre-season and his potential to elevate his game in limited-overs cricket. There are opposition state coaches who believe he has all the tools to be Australia's Test match opener long-term. Some big scores early in the season will not do his chances any harm.
I have been saying the same. Matt Renshaw will be back. He has already started the season on a positive note with List A 50s and a Premier Cricket century.

Solid start by Qld against some excellent bowling from Copeland and Starc bit of swing around for the bowlers on a green pitch, nicely negotiated by Burns and Renshaw, who is playing nicely. Queensland going into the game with a 4 prong pace attack, with Neser, Steketee, Gannon, and Stanlake.
Marcus Harris is looking good as well, but SA look a bit short in the bowling department currently, Richardson, Winter and Andrews not doing much with the ball. 100 run partnership for Victoria in the 27th over, big bonus points on the way for Victoria

Renners saw off the first session.. did all the hard work. Copeland again the man for the Blues. His nagging accuracy builds so much pressure. He wud've been terrific in the Ashes. Harris has two lives. Maddinson the steadier of the pair. Winter is rather hamstrung unless it is swinging.. bit like Starc.

Makes me so mad. I expect DC aint complaining.
Neil-Smith is making his FC debut today at the WACA. Tall kid with an economic, whippy action.

Bit of a road at St Kilda. Not sure but is that Maddo's fourth century on the trot.
