+x+xNivethan Radharkristian evidently.. wait for it.. bowls finger spin with both hands. Has been in the NSW Academy since he was 13 years. CA also has its eye on this ambidextrous all rounder.. yet another promising Aussie cricketer of Indian descent. That is impressive. I wonder if he is definitely better with one arm. Dunno. But there is a clip on Fox cricket of him bowling with both. We almost lost him to Indian cricket as he was born there. But he has pledged his allegience to us.

Australia still has a chance to win the series with two ODIs and a T20 remaining.

+x+x+xAn international series that has slipped thru my radar. Our U16s are engaged in a Youth ODI series with Pakistan in the UAE. Cricinfo is covering it.. Not a word from our own CA cricket site. Poor show. - Australia Under-16s 170 (44.3/50 ov); Pakistan Under-16s 175/5 (39.4/50 ov)Pakistan Under-16s won by 5 wickets (with 62 balls remaining)
- Pakistan Under-16s 191/7 (50/50 ov); Australia Under-16s 192/7 (42.1/50 ov)Australia Under-16s won by 3 wickets (with 47 balls remaining)
- Australia Under-16s 140 (37.3/50 ov); Pakistan Under-16s 142/6 (38.5/50 ov)Pakistan Under-16s won by 4 wickets (with 67 balls remaining)
I am fairly certain this is the first time CA has sent a team away as young as this. Two of our boys McFadyen and Radhakrishnan look the stand outs with both bat and ball. There has been one piece of the Pathways Program that I totally approve of and could bear fruit in coming years. CA introduced a scheme back in about 2016 to send our best under 17 cricketers to play in local competitions (hopefully red ball) in Asian sub continental countries. There has been little feedback from this visionary venture. Not even sure if the program is still being run. Noah McFadyen is a Nudgee College student, which recently have produced a lot of talented cricketers in recent times, such as Burns, Lynn, Hauritz, so he's getting good coaching there obviously. He is probably more a bowling all-rounder. He is not setting the world on fire with his batting in the The Lord's Taverners Competition (U16) but has been playing 2nd and 3rd division, and taking a few wickets. Interesting they dropped Jamieson Murphy as captain and gave the role to McFayden for the 3rd game, I'm not sure that would be the right thing to do to such a young player. Two players who dominated U16 comp here were Lachlan Bell and Aaron Densley, and Aaron can bowl as well. Neither are on a cricket pathways program of any sort but they do have the Qld Pathway Program. That's the problem with these Pathway programs they limit player pools. Based on the performance of McFayden in the U16 Australian games I'm sure Bell and Densley would have offered more than some of the other chosen players, as would be the case in most states. Another interesting thing is Australia lost the first game, then Riley Smith and Connor Cook were both dropped for the 2nd game and Australia won, then both came back for the 3rd game and Australia lost. Why would you change a winning team, selectors obviously made the right decision in dropping both, but bringing them back in cost Australia the series win. It was only a three game series Mike? Presuming Riley Smith and Connor Cook are from the Premier State going by your smugness mate. :P I am all for every state having its own Pathway Program, if for nothing else, that it provides good junior training/coaching. Seems QLD is doing good things with its program. I have heard of Nudgee College. If not mistaken rugby player David Pocock was also schooled there. Not that you are all that interested in this Mike.. /www.cricketnsw.com.au/elite-pathway/youth-male. Cricket NSW is also building a new state of the art Centre of Excellence at Sydney Olympic Park. This is good news. But will the emphasis be on red ball cricket. I fear not.

Radharkrishan averaged around 45 with bat and 17 with the ball McFadyen averaged 48+ with bat and under 25 with the ball.

+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+xThis deck in Columbo may have turned into a dust bowl as our boys are clearly struggling against their spinners. 151 ao. Jarrod Freeman's 52* kept us in the battle. 112 runs needed by the Lankans. Sri Lanka won by 3 wickets. Interesting that the only bowler that performed was Victorian seamer Zac Evans taking 8/101 for the match. Iain Carlisle and 17 year old all rounder Josh Kann failed to impress but in Kann's defence it is a bit hard to do when only bowled for just 5 overs in the match and he will be around for another couple of years. Bit disappointed with Tasmanian Jarrod Freeman when conditions should have suited him, failed to come up with the goods. Controversial selection IMO was leggie Tanveer Sangha who also failed to impress. I wonder why Sutherland didn't play, he has sheffield shield experience. They probably should have selected 17 year old Matthew Willans instead of Carlisle, at 205 cm tall he would have been a more imposing sight for the Sri Lankans, but he has the next 2 years at this level, whereas it will be Carlisle's last game in U19, final record for him 9 wickets in last 11 games in Australia U19 side, once again controversial selection IMO, with that sort of history why keep picking him. The only signs of any future players IMO would be Holt, Hunter, Evans, and possibly Freeman but he has a long way to go. Freeman's only Sheffield Shield game so far was playing at that batsmen's inflating average ground in Feb 2018 where he took 1/92 where NSW scored 8dec/450 and Tasmania replied with 4dec/490. So it is hard to judge the poor bloke currently. Must have been a reason why Kann (19 not 17- all rounder?) only bowled 5 overs in the match. He came up short in the ODI s too. I woulda had Willans in for him. Freeman looks to be a batting all rounder. Did not have the goods when needed. Is only 18 so still a baby. Sangha did not even get a bowl in the second innings. He has bowled above expectation considering we both called his initial selection lucky. Bugger where are the tour stats to call on? Agree Mike Holt, Evans.. possibly Hunter and Davies. Both failed when most needed. I will reserve judgement on Freeman. He could well turn out to be, what is a rarity in Oz cricket.. a slow bowling all rounder. Jason Sangha also has promise in that dept.. What has happened to Arjun Nair? The thing that stands out like a sore big toe is our lack of adeptness against red ball spin.. yet again. Seems to happen generation after generation. CA has to get cracking on this major problem. Nair was suspended following some sort of enquiry into his bowling action. His suspension is over but he has some sort of injury. We may not see much of him in the future. Sangha was in fact the baby of the touring side at 17 & 48 days. Is a leggie like his big brother. Why is that about Nair Mike? He remains a contracted Blue. Have found some details on Nair. Was cleared of any bowling action deficiencies. Then had a lumbar stress injury that ruled him out of the 2018 ODD tournament. He was expected to make his return for the Sydney Thunder this Dec. Anyone seen him playing BBL as I do not follow it all that much? He did play 1 game, in December I think it was, but nothing since. I hope he does change his problems in action thus the training camp, because as we were talking about last year, with his ability with bat and ball he is a really good option to replace a few players going around. But still I have no idea what the almighty CA are thinking Nair never went away Mike. Took 3-12 for the Thunder today. Want him to get at least one game for the Blues after BBL. And that means nothing. If he is any good he should be playing FC cricket. Agree. Will the selectors pick him tho. They should but SOK is an unmovable presence at the moment as the Blues spinner. Nair has the batting ability to bat in the top 6 but that is a way down the track. Still as long as he is playing circus cricket he is getting noticed.

Why is that about Nair Mike? He remains a contracted Blue. Nair was I believed reported for chucking, then tried to "cheat" in the testing of his action, which resulted in the suspension. So in other words he probably knew he was chucking and tried to hide it, the hierarchy aren't too happy about that, especially with the current going ons in the cheating world. He is getting support from Watson with regards to Sydney Thunder and I think he just signed for 2 years with them, but who knows what CA may say to NSW with regards to future contracts. Still no word to my knowledge if he has changed his action. Time will tell Apparently water under the bridge as CA selected him in last years Spin Camp at the NCC. I was talking about CA not having a Elite Bowling Program similar to the Saffers as a possible reason for the decline of our quicks. They conducted the Spin Camp in 2018 so are taking that discipline seriously. Why then not something similar for our elite and most promising quicks? Totally agree, but we are dealing with egos and their willingness to listen, with poor form that some are currently showing they might change their approach. It's a bit hard when someone is touted the best since McGrath the egos blow out of proportion, afterall when Harris offers help and is a bowling coach, egos say "why listen to him I'm already better, see what the newspapers are saying". But now reality is apparent maybe the ego deflates and they are willing to listen. Fast bowlers are a breed of their own. And get good bowlers to help, eg Harris to help Hazlewood, Johnson to help Cummins, But who do we have to help genuine swing bowlers? Those who can... do, those that can't... teach, not really what you want. Ryan Harris should not be coaching anyone, do not want him anywhere near future quicks. Any bowler who plays test cricket for Australia is a better bowler than David Saker the current bowling coach. It is not about who is the better bowler, it is about being able to teach players how to make themselves better bowlers. Harris has been with future quicks as mentor and coach of our underage program.. A fucking joke, his rise to being a fast bowler stinks, I do not trust him at all. I asked the question before and I will ask it again as I did not get an answer. Is their another example of a medium pacer dramatically increasing their pace to become a top fast bowler?

Interesting that the only bowler that performed was Victorian seamer Zac Evans taking 8/101 for the match. Iain Carlisle and 17 year old all rounder Josh Kann failed to impress but in Kann's defence it is a bit hard to do when only bowled for just 5 overs in the match and he will be around for another couple of years. Bit disappointed with Tasmanian Jarrod Freeman when conditions should have suited him, failed to come up with the goods. Controversial selection IMO was leggie Tanveer Sangha who also failed to impress. I wonder why Sutherland didn't play, he has sheffield shield experience. They probably should have selected 17 year old Matthew Willans instead of Carlisle, at 205 cm tall he would have been a more imposing sight for the Sri Lankans, but he has the next 2 years at this level, whereas it will be Carlisle's last game in U19, final record for him 9 wickets in last 11 games in Australia U19 side, once again controversial selection IMO, with that sort of history why keep picking him. The only signs of any future players IMO would be Holt, Hunter, Evans, and possibly Freeman but he has a long way to go. Freeman's only Sheffield Shield game so far was playing at that batsmen's inflating average ground in Feb 2018 where he took 1/92 where NSW scored 8dec/450 and Tasmania replied with 4dec/490. So it is hard to judge the poor bloke currently. Must have been a reason why Kann (19 not 17- all rounder?) only bowled 5 overs in the match. He came up short in the ODI s too. I woulda had Willans in for him. Freeman looks to be a batting all rounder. Did not have the goods when needed. Is only 18 so still a baby. Sangha did not even get a bowl in the second innings. He has bowled above expectation considering we both called his initial selection lucky. Bugger where are the tour stats to call on? Agree Mike Holt, Evans.. possibly Hunter and Davies. Both failed when most needed. I will reserve judgement on Freeman. He could well turn out to be, what is a rarity in Oz cricket.. a slow bowling all rounder. Jason Sangha also has promise in that dept.. What has happened to Arjun Nair? The thing that stands out like a sore big toe is our lack of adeptness against red ball spin.. yet again. Seems to happen generation after generation. CA has to get cracking on this major problem. Nair was suspended following some sort of enquiry into his bowling action. His suspension is over but he has some sort of injury. We may not see much of him in the future. Sangha was in fact the baby of the touring side at 17 & 48 days. Is a leggie like his big brother. Why is that about Nair Mike? He remains a contracted Blue. Nair was I believed reported for chucking, then tried to "cheat" in the testing of his action, which resulted in the suspension. So in other words he probably knew he was chucking and tried to hide it, the hierarchy aren't too happy about that, especially with the current going ons in the cheating world. He is getting support from Watson with regards to Sydney Thunder and I think he just signed for 2 years with them, but who knows what CA may say to NSW with regards to future contracts. Still no word to my knowledge if he has changed his action. Time will tell Apparently water under the bridge as CA selected him in last years Spin Camp at the NCC. I was talking about CA not having a Elite Bowling Program similar to the Saffers as a possible reason for the decline of our quicks. They conducted the Spin Camp in 2018 so are taking that discipline seriously. Why then not something similar for our elite and most promising quicks? Totally agree, but we are dealing with egos and their willingness to listen, with poor form that some are currently showing they might change their approach. It's a bit hard when someone is touted the best since McGrath the egos blow out of proportion, afterall when Harris offers help and is a bowling coach, egos say "why listen to him I'm already better, see what the newspapers are saying". But now reality is apparent maybe the ego deflates and they are willing to listen. Fast bowlers are a breed of their own. And get good bowlers to help, eg Harris to help Hazlewood, Johnson to help Cummins, But who do we have to help genuine swing bowlers? Those who can... do, those that can't... teach, not really what you want. Ryan Harris should not be coaching anyone, do not want him anywhere near future quicks. Any bowler who plays test cricket for Australia is a better bowler than David Saker the current bowling coach. It is not about who is the better bowler, it is about being able to teach players how to make themselves better bowlers. Harris has been with future quicks as mentor and coach of our underage program..

Who is gonna help Starc or is it too late for him? Not so Hazlewood. Still the best part of his career to come. Wonder if the greats such as DK and McGrath had lows in their careers. Expect so.

Then had a lumbar stress injury that ruled him out of the 2018 ODD tournament. He was expected to make his return for the Sydney Thunder this Dec. Anyone seen him playing BBL as I do not follow it all that much? He did play 1 game, in December I think it was, but nothing since. I hope he does change his problems in action thus the training camp, because as we were talking about last year, with his ability with bat and ball he is a really good option to replace a few players going around. But still I have no idea what the almighty CA are thinking

So it is hard to judge the poor bloke currently. Must have been a reason why Kann (19 not 17- all rounder?) only bowled 5 overs in the match. He came up short in the ODI s too. I woulda had Willans in for him. Freeman looks to be a batting all rounder. Did not have the goods when needed. Is only 18 so still a baby. Sangha did not even get a bowl in the second innings. He has bowled above expectation considering we both called his initial selection lucky. Bugger where are the tour stats to call on? Agree Mike Holt, Evans.. possibly Hunter and Davies. Both failed when most needed. I will reserve judgement on Freeman. He could well turn out to be, what is a rarity in Oz cricket.. a slow bowling all rounder. Jason Sangha also has promise in that dept.. What has happened to Arjun Nair? The thing that stands out like a sore big toe is our lack of adeptness against red ball spin.. yet again. Seems to happen generation after generation. CA has to get cracking on this major problem. Nair was suspended following some sort of enquiry into his bowling action. His suspension is over but he has some sort of injury. We may not see much of him in the future. Sangha was in fact the baby of the touring side at 17 & 48 days. Is a leggie like his big brother. Why is that about Nair Mike? He remains a contracted Blue. Have found some details on Nair. Was cleared of any bowling action deficiencies. Then had a lumbar stress injury that ruled him out of the 2018 ODD tournament. He was expected to make his return for the Sydney Thunder this Dec. Anyone seen him playing BBL as I do not follow it all that much?

+x+x+x+x+x+xThis deck in Columbo may have turned into a dust bowl as our boys are clearly struggling against their spinners. 151 ao. Jarrod Freeman's 52* kept us in the battle. 112 runs needed by the Lankans. Sri Lanka won by 3 wickets. Interesting that the only bowler that performed was Victorian seamer Zac Evans taking 8/101 for the match. Iain Carlisle and 17 year old all rounder Josh Kann failed to impress but in Kann's defence it is a bit hard to do when only bowled for just 5 overs in the match and he will be around for another couple of years. Bit disappointed with Tasmanian Jarrod Freeman when conditions should have suited him, failed to come up with the goods. Controversial selection IMO was leggie Tanveer Sangha who also failed to impress. I wonder why Sutherland didn't play, he has sheffield shield experience. They probably should have selected 17 year old Matthew Willans instead of Carlisle, at 205 cm tall he would have been a more imposing sight for the Sri Lankans, but he has the next 2 years at this level, whereas it will be Carlisle's last game in U19, final record for him 9 wickets in last 11 games in Australia U19 side, once again controversial selection IMO, with that sort of history why keep picking him.

Why is that about Nair Mike? He remains a contracted Blue. Nair was I believed reported for chucking, then tried to "cheat" in the testing of his action, which resulted in the suspension. So in other words he probably knew he was chucking and tried to hide it, the hierarchy aren't too happy about that, especially with the current going ons in the cheating world. He is getting support from Watson with regards to Sydney Thunder and I think he just signed for 2 years with them, but who knows what CA may say to NSW with regards to future contracts. Still no word to my knowledge if he has changed his action. Time will tell

Zak Evans 6/44 almost defended a 112 by itself but where were the other bowlers? Although it seems like the Sri Lankans might have had to go the slog due to limited time and they found Evans was hard to slog.
Freeman did okay in the first innings but seems like they slogged him successfully in the second innings. Bowling spin with a new ball is never the easiest thing to do.
