.I and most other purists will never totally accept this championship as long as CA continues to omit a red ball component. It does tho continue to produce a generation of white ball specialists. ...and rare records such as below.

Sydney teenager Oliver Davies (pic) has shattered records after hammering an extraordinary 115-ball double-century (207) on the opening day of the Under-19 National Championships in Adelaide. In a stunning display of power-hitting for NSW Metro, Davies bashed 17 maximums, incl. 6 in the one over, against  a hapless Northern Territory to register 4-406. Rising leggie Lloyd Pope skittled WA in reply for a measly 122.


Redback skipper Henry Dall (109) and vice-captain Bailey Capel (138) combined to smash WA. ACT accounted for Vic Country while Qld took care of Vic City. Tassie were too strong for  CAX1.
