2024–25 Australian Domestic Season

[GoodAreasShane]

Don't have the figures off the top of my head, but he averages only a shade under 40 since moving here to South Australia

It's the technique and how he looks at the crease for me. You can build off that. 25 is still young for a batsman.

Also, absolutely this 100%

 

[Qlder]

Not bad first round for batsmen, 10 centuries scored

 

[Kraken]

bring on some filthy part timer moises

 

[Qlder]

Qld need 362 in 62 overs...is Labuschagne a funky enough captain to chase it?

Pretty sure that you’re right and might be above 40 now

Selectors obviously rate him as I think he captained Australia A

 

[TheJediBrah]

Making an early call on Jack Nisbet. Reckon he's going to have a prodigious career. There's a lot of young Glenn McGrath about him and if he can end up half the bowler he'll have done well

According to CricketArchive its 37.5.

Of course players can succeed at test level without brilliant first class statistics - look at Harry Brook. But Brook was averaging more than McSweeney is now and had more centuries when he was two years younger. I like McSweeney and have thought he's got some talent since his 84 in the BBL nearly two years ago. But I just don't see him having that meteoric rise Brook's had (and unlike McCullum, McDonald doesn't seem to be one to inspire big performances).

Brook got picked off the back of averaging like 100 for Yorkshire in div one,tbf. Mcsweeney hasn't had the extreme run that got brook picked.

That's pretty much what I mean though. Despite two more years McSweeney hasn't had that season that shows he can go big. If he's averaging mid-high 30s across seasons now, it's hard for me to see him averaging 45+ in tests in the near future. Look at Head, his average has come back down so his test and FC averages are very close.

For all that if McSweeney pulls this off it'll be pretty impressive.

Not enough time anyway?

Oh, must say that is a little bit below what I thought

Probably a bit of a side effect of the rest of the South Australia top and middle order being so prone to to collapse, he has been the only one up there to show some sort of consistency over the last couple of years. Fair enough to say it would be better if he had have properly dominated for a stretch of time, but I would still easily take him over anyone younger who has barely played much Shield cricket at all

As for the game situation, this was definitely peteting out to a draw a while back. Still, will take that quite happily considering the score was 4/23 earlier this morning

You're actually both right. It was 37.50 before this game but now McSweeney has played 22 games for SA with 1607 runs @ 41.20 with 6 centuries and 7 fifties

(Since start of last season it's 47.20)

Damn! you're right. Pity.

I've quite liked the look of him too. He reminds me of Atkinson more than anyone else. I'm curious about what pace he actually bowls.

That said he'll almost certainly spend the next ten years with back injuries, because that seems to be the fate of all of our promising bowlers.

 

[Burgey]

pretty happy at Tendulkar’s numbers there, ngl

 

[Nintendo]

Marcus Harris > Tendulkar+laxman+gayle + Lawry. Numbers don't lie.

 

[Qlder]

Too early I know, but after the first round of Shield do we already have the Aus A top 7 penciled in to play India A on 31 October?

1. Konstas
2. Harris
3. McSweeney (c)
4. Handscomb
5. Davies
6. Philippe (+)
7. Webster

(assuming Hardie and Inglis would likely be in the white ball squads vs Pakistan)

Hopefully Maddinson can get some runs next round and replace Harris or Handscomb
