Patto for county

[Victor Ian]

How do we get this to happen? He needs to go there and play the whole season and early next one and become our secret weapon for 2019.

I'm sure Notts wouldn't complain about having him back to completely annihilate all before them again.

Are we meaning James or Kurtis?

I'm not sure a County season after having your back fused is on his agenda.

 

[Victor Ian]

I'm talking James. Need to get him there and do the whole season and see if he breaks. If not, then he can slot into the test team. In fact Australia need to get all their bowlers over there this winter. It seems there is nothing scheduled between SA and Bangladesh. **** - get the whole f'in team over there. We don't pay them to get fat over winter!

 

[Victor Ian]

Piss off these stupid ODI series for no good reason and let our players play county cricket again and they can earn more money doing it too! And we should create a shield team in Darwin but where it is for overseas players to return the favour.

Heard gilchrist describs pattinson as the best bowler in the world when fit.
What on earth has je done to deserve that title??

It's obviously hyperbole but the kind which you can understand if you'd seen him bowl over the last 18 months. He's just completely demolished lineups, utterly petrified them. 2nd div is obvs not great, but he was doing it in the Shield too.

He'd definitely be in the strongest Aus XI if fit and bowling like that IMO. MJ-esque.

He already has.

And Marsh brothers, Bancroft, Lyon, all seeking out/secured County spots next year, and I think there might be a couple more.

Ive seen him in england and he was class and div 2 isnt that far behind div 1 anyway, bar a few teams at the bottom.
And he looked decent for aus at home a couple years ago although still a bit raw.
I dont know why pundits cant just say he's a great bowler with huge potential and will only add to a brilliant attack if he can stay fit.
Rather than calling him the best bowler in the world, when the likes of rabada vern hazelwood starc anderson are taking 50 odd wickets every year

that sounds good. I hope they are there this year too so they get a full season to hone their techniques.

 

[Compton]

His most recent spell was incredible

Not even the best bowler in Australia.

Hazlewood is criminally under rated, not surprising given his nationality.

Pattinson last summer was quick, accurate and did enough with the ball. The way he ran through the QLD lineup with Lynn, Burns and I think even Khawaja last year was something I'll never forget. He looked scary quick and made Tremain look pedestrian by comparison.

Hazelwood for me is not only the best aussie quick but also the least injury prone and most adaptable to overseas conditions

Starc is better in Asia but for the most part I'd agree with you. But on form, Pattinson could be better than both, if not for his back.

But not better than Cummins, obviously.
