I love this Sean Solia guy. Opens the batting, bowls medium pace AND has a killer mullet. Seems like he's an avid reverse sweeper aswell.

Sad he didn't get the century. He's an interesting one as he was an allrounder batting 6 or 7 for Auckland, until their chronic lack of an opener led to Solia taking it up. First season was absolutely awful. But had a little more success in the last two seasons and scored a couple of centuries. The medium pace is very NZ-dobbly stuff, though seems to have the wicket-taking knack.

I have no idea what format and where in the order he might fit into an NZ side, but has enough about him (plus the mullet) to be trialed in A cricket anyway.

Giveaway from Abbas when he could have made a big impact with a century

I don't really get the approach from the lower/middle order, honestly. Ever since clarkson got out they've been trying to go at 5+ an over and getting out playing stupid shots. There's still a day and a half in the game and your only leading by 230. Grind them into the dust FFS. If NZ get bowled out with a lead of under 250 Aus-A are right back in this.

Tbf Abbas the only wicket today out to an aggressive shot, but yeah still should be grinding them into the dust.

Well that makes a fair bit more sense I suppose. Would still personally prefer to see Philippe not keeping full stop, but in that scenario with Inglis being one of the players unavailable I at least understand it

It's the take that "He ShOuLd MoVe StAtEs To KeEp WiCkEt ReGuLaRlY" which ****s me to no end, but that isn't at all what you were saying here

I mean, I selfishly want him to move to NSW full time, but we are dogshit so there's that

I'm afraid he's to old and has made too many runs in at least one format to qualify for NSW. We'll move on to our next batch of hopeless foetuses, thank you.

and of course, that would be a certain young player from Parramatta who's gotten heaps of chances on potential but has never delivered (amongst numerous others)

Swepson should never play for Australia again after this. Dismal showing when even the smallest amount of pressure was put on.

Australia A were always going to battle vs. this NZ C side. Expecting a 200 run victory for NZ.

Scotty crossed some boundaries today and scored a few 6's in the process. If Aus-A want a draw here all they have to do is show Scotty K's trial transcripts, more than enough shade to get bad light called their.

That will just make him bowl quickly on a better length according to club player accounts.

Not only is Aus A going to lose this disgustingly, it's going to be to the most disgusting person too.
