He bats at 3 for South Australia and given the quality of their openers he essentially opens the batting.

I think Nathan McSweeney should well and truly be in the contention for the opening spot. Seems to be in amazing form. I believe he’s averaging about 80-90 in domestic cricket this year and just made a 137(131) in a one day match against Queensland. The rest of the top 5 made a combined 18 runs...

There’s a livestream on YouTube for the England v Pakistan game that just started and Duckett just got out LBW to an off break that’s turned and basically rolled less than 2 hour into day 1.

I was very happy with how I batted as I haven’t done so in a match for a while. The cover drive was definitely a good confidence builder, even though I played it a T20 style with a bit less footwork than I would in a longer game. It came off the bat really nice. As a side note I do really love...

I genuinely think we should try Konstas. It’s a tough gig so he shouldn’t be held too high, but if he doesn’t succeed and gets figured out by some on the best bowlers in the world at 19, he now has a hell of a lot of time to fix those now apparent issues. And if it does work then hey we’ve just...

I am really not a fan of just taking any aggressive middle order batsman and making them open. Aggressive does not equal David Warner. There is a lot more in Warners game than a high strike rate that made him a successful opener. I feel like doing this almost insulting to Warner. I’m all for...

I dislocated my finger the day before this so I’m not hitting it too hard given that finger normally takes a bit of beating if I’m trying to smack the ball.

My colts match has been put up on YouTube: I bat at 1:08:40. I bowl an over at 1:52:30 and 2:05:00.

I have heard of him before, possibly from u19s. I am cautious about us making pitches too friendly and going down the England route where the best domestic bowlers and 120km/h swing bowlers that will get nowhere in internationals. Also unfortunately CA seems to great favour seam bowlers over...

Yeah I don’t know what’s wrong with it

What do you mean? I can’t see any other than my club that have Melville in the name.

From what I saw in the shield he gets squared up way too easily by good bowlers. I also remember him struggling with the diet side of things. He used to get to school drinking a can of coke every morning and I think he liked his Maccas a lot.

I did follow Wyllie specifically because we were in the same classes at school!

I don’t really follow much below state 2nd XIs other than the club I play for. But he definitely sounds like a talent.

Yeah the guy I dropped put in back in for me [emoji23]. I messaged the coach for colts and he’s said I can bowl but otherwise sit off the field if I’m not.

I meant astroturf, aka synthetic wicket. Bowled 3 at the death after dislocating my ring finger on my bowling hand, took another 1-14. They needed 6 an over. Had an easy dropped catch catch in the 2nd over. Finished with 3-42(8), pretty happy but still lost. Dislocated my finger off an...

Bowled too short, both wickets were mistimed to square leg [emoji23] Definitely threatened when I did pitch it up though, just got to work on bowling too short. Also this match is on Astro.

Haha all good mate, figured it was probably just a typo given R is right above D on the keyboard [emoji23]
