Australian Domestic Season 2015/16

[TheJediBrah]

Botha would have been perfect for it IMO.

Oh and don't forget that time the NPP beat Australia A. They might be surprisingly competitive.

I hope so. It will be good experience at the least.

also I think that NPP team had at least a few state regulars

Youth-only CA XI will beat expectations in Matador Cup, Greg Chappell predicts
Chappell to go with youth.
No hope for any oldies.
Hopefully Jordan Gauci gets a run.
And hopefully they pick the best youth and not 2/3 from each state,even if half the team from NSW.

 

[NUFAN]

My expectations is that they'll win convincingly, beat that Greg.

 

[Spikey]

i imagine it'll be something like early thunder. decent enough at the top but poor batting and bowling depth.

 

[The Battlers Prince]

I'm sure I'll include some that aren't a chance, but I would expect:

Kelvin Smith, James Peirson, Tom Triffitt, Harry Conway, Alex Keath, Sean Willis, Jack Reed, Alex Gregory, Ben McDermott, James Muirhead, Jonte Pattison, Ben Dwarshuis, Chris Tremain

Jimmy Peirson is a good young player. Really looking forward to seeing more from him

 

[vic_orthdox]

Jesus, they'll get a pantsing.

Cricket Australia XI squad Alex Gregory (SA, capt), Sam Heazlett (Qld), James Peirson (Qld), Ben McDermott (Tas), James Bazley (Qld), Seb Gotch (Vic), Matthew Short (Vic), Jack Wildermuth (Qld), Jhye Richardson (WA), Liam Hatcher (NSW), Mitch Swepson (Qld), Hilton Cartwright (WA). Riley Ayre (ACT/NSW), Matthew Dixon (WA).

they've gone too young

Not enough New South Welshmen, disgusting QLD bias. This "team" was doomed before they even began.

 

[adub]

Big big step up for em.

 

[brockley]

No Jordan Gauci or Daniel Solway

 

[NUFAN]

Wow, not the team I was expecting at all. Hopefully a few players make decent contributions as the exposure will be massive for them. Great chance to nab a big bash contribution for anyone who steps up.

 

[Gnske]

Looks like Lynn is set to miss the beginning of the season again.

2 of the 3 NSW players being uncontracted makes me suspicious that they're perhaps looking too deeply for a hidden gem

Well it is Greg Chappell.

 

[NUFAN]

Yeah agree Spikey. Although, I can't really knock the players, need to see them in action first.

It is interesting how it is going to work. Now that Chris Lynn is out does it mean we can't bring in any of the CA XI QLDers and have to select Jason ****ing Floros again?

 

[Spikey]

Well it is Greg Chappell.

I deeply enjoyed reading Chappell pumping the team up.

 

[Spikey]

I think you could make another team of players still not selected and it'd be decent if not better, while still giving young guys a shot at the level?

I mean, Muirhead, Tremain and Triffitt haven't been picked just off the top of my head.

Kelvin Smith, Tom Triffitt, Harry Conway, Brockley Gauci, Alex Keath, Sean Willis, Jack Reed (injured), James Muirhead, Jonte Pattison, Jason Floros, Ben Dwarshuis, Chris Tremain,

Also - Someone like Cartwright seems odd. He is 23, I didn't really think of him as a talented young player, compared to others from that age bracket. I'm looking forward to seeing Sam Gotch bat.

 

[Spikey]

Oh wow didn't noticed Kelvin Smith wasn't picked. It's like Chappell has excluded anyone who has a chance of getting a game in the shield or BBL

 

[Spikey]

Need PEWS, Riggins and Vic to deliver the gossip from the grade scenes around the land

edit oh wait, Riggins left SA didnt he?
