Jewell finally did something this series. Yay
score at a strike-rate of 65 on a 300+ wicket?

nah seriously though pretty amazing effort by this youth team to remain competitive at all against genuine International players. Most of these guys wouldn't even be close to State selection and they should be pretty proud to not lose every game by 300 runs tbh

Looks like Heazlett twinged his hammy or calf, didn't have to be hauled off like a Henriques of recent times so hoping he won't be out long.

damn shame that our young bats collapse against half decent spin

we're lucky the national team aren't like that hey

That's because they're both about 12. Mennie and Worrall are journeymen who've played a few seasons of FC cricket so we knew what they were about. They were rewarded for great seasons, rather than being picks for the future.

Put it this way, the young guns are always a chance whereas, absent their great Shield seasons, Mennie and Worrall aren't in the picture at all.
Now about 1 and a half month later look where they are.

Reckon there'll be an interesting subplot this season with the battle between Adam "No I'm not Warne" Zampa and Mitch "Yes, I bowl legspin and yes I know Warne also bowled legspin" Swepson for perhaps third spinning option in India.

With luck Zampa's ego and confidence from his surprising international results will bring boon to his first class game, would loathe to see Swepson bowl his aids at Virat or Dhawan on any given day.
 

Midwinter

State Captain
A few changes to the A's team Bird, Richardson, Holland, Patterson, Mad Dog and Cartwright are in.

Off to a good start, had them 4/11.

hahaha oh my god. I've already warmed to Maxwell, this would have been amazing

is there any pre existing heat with him and Ronald McDonald? otherwise I think it'll be fine in terms of fitting back into the squad
