Brockley posted this article on Beer the other day Victorian hopeful gets nod for WA It looks like he joined in the winter.
Haha. Good spot.
Yeah Jewell's a very under-rated cricketer. He was a bit of a late bloomer and he doesn't play one day cricket - both factors have contributed to him going a bit unnoticed. "Retired" a bit early for a late bloomer too. He's one of those players who I think could've had a semi-decent Test career if he was from another country.
Only saw him bowl in the CL for Victoria recently. But given he is big unit, certainly looks capable of being a solid hitter. We shall see how he progresses.
. All I see is the bloody Cricket Australia logo again. Somebody needs to tell them it's not working because I really want to watch the games.
Ye i sorta agree. But i didn't want to come out & state that i dont rate his bowling which i saw, since i dont see AUS domestic cricket. Thus didn't want to make a sweeping judgement on just one seeing him bowl once, since he conceivably could have actually looked good bowling in some match that the selectors or someone may have seen.
He never really looks like there's much to him IMO. He bowls a "heavy ball" you'd say, but he doesn't get any swing and he sends it down between 125 and 130 km/h. Seams it around a little but but he's no McGrath either. Most of his wickets come from the fact that he gets lots of bounce and perhaps hurries the batsmen off the wicket more than they think given his action. Instinct definitely tells me that he'll get pumped at international level but I thought that about his bowling and domestic level as well and he's taken wickets for fun. He definitely seems to have that knack of picking up wickets off less than remarkable balls - whether that lasts is the question I suppose.
Agreed. Surely somebody like Mark Cameron would make it over Scott Coyte? The guy didn't even take that many grade wickets last season but he made some runs.
