U19 Vice-Captain
Is Gus Atkinson at Surrey on England's radar? Always been very impressed whenever they can actually find space in their side for him.
It's been a funny day. Up until Orr left one, the openers were making it look very easy.@Molehill
Ha, Neser got Alsop first ball he bowled to him then got Pujara for a duck so Smith might as well of batted 3 ?
*buffoonGreat post.......wasted on that bafoon of course.
Good point well made.......I had originally posted "baboon" and edited it quickly without much thought. Point stands though.*buffoon
More recently than you thenThey were last funny in 1999 tbf
Ha! As if you're going back to any zoo after the last time when you shut the joint down cos everyone thought you'd escaped one of the enclosures!Lol coincidentally we did an overnight zoo stay at Taronga last night. Saw a chimpanzee's arse this morning and thought of you!
Putting on a decent partnership with an England U19's player in Coles. I suspect the old man is being talked through his rustiness by the young whipper snapper. He won't be getting that assistance when Robinson is demolishing his partners at the other end in the Ashes.*buffoon
Smith 68 not out and running into form. All England’s nightmares gelling a few weeks out now. You love to see it.
I thought this was going a very different way about half way throughHa! As if you're going back to any zoo after the last time
And they could easily be facing Anderson (40), Broad (turns 37 before 2nd Test), Wood (33), and Leach (32 before 2nd Test), Woakes (34).Could this be the oldest Aussie bowling attack to tour England?
We have Lyon (35), Boland (34), Starc (33), Hazlewood (32) and Cummins (30) in the XII with back-ups being Neser (33) and Abbott (31)
Australia has a few solid young options in Jhye, sutherland and murphy, their all injured though. England have potts and rehan who you haven't mentioned and i'm sure theres others im not aware of.And they could easily be facing Anderson (40), Broad (turns 37 before 2nd Test), Wood (33), and Leach (32 before 2nd Test), Woakes (34).
Only Robinson at 29 is under 30 out of the entire bowling units.
It does beg questions in both countries, where are the young bowlers?
I mean yes there are young options, but they all seem to be a long way behind the incumbents in terms of quality (except the spinners maybe).Australia has a few solid young options in Jhye, sutherland and murphy, their all injured though.

And Lance Morris (also injured)Australia has a few solid young options in Jhye, sutherland and murphy, their all injured though.
