2024–25 Australian Domestic Season

Nothing to back this up but does anyone else get the feeling that the selectors have very little faith in Renshaw, Bancroft and Harris?

They’ll obviously have to pick someone but I get the feeling that it won’t be done with any great confidence

Well the very fact Smith is opening is a pretty good bit of evidence to back it up.

One thing i wonder about Richardson and his inability to throw in from the outfield - why not try practicing throwing left-handed?

the selectors are just like me

I see Ashton Turner bowled. Still a filthy chucker I assume

I assume that is very difficult

Buggered my back and taught myself how to bowl left handed to the point where I could bowl a few overs of filth at a reasonable level but couldn’t throw more than 10 yards or so

Anyway, Courtney Walsh bowled it in for much of his career but his bowling was good enough to make up for it

 

[Spikey]

heh, the cricket.com.au player profiles are actually somewhat useful now. good on them for that

 

[Starfighter]

Be interested to know what pace Jackson bowls. Must say Richardson has looked distinctly faster than him.

Is Big Nes's batting not the best thing in Australia domestic cricket at the moment?

 

[Qlder]

Lachlan Hearne looks a good import for Qld. He's currently 3rd highest run scorer in the one-day Cup with 116 runs @ 38.66 (SR 95.08)

Jhye Richardson has now taken 8 wkts in two Iist A games. Anyone think he might get into the whiteball squads vs Pak if they rotate/rest him?

It still bothers me that he never got a game in England last year.

If we don't pick him then what's the use anymore? Surely he has to get some internationals? Its different for him as opposed to stupidly risking Green on jamodis. The latter should be managed as he looks like having a long career. Richardson has been blighted by injuries. Playing him whenever we can might be the only, admittedly disappointing, use we'll get out of his talent.

They made Smith open instead of picking any of them to do it last summer and asked pretty much everyone else in the squad to do it before those 3. Pretty obvious they don't rate any of them particularly highly.

I mean... they shouldn't. None of them have demonstrated that they're especially good at Test level. Part of the (dumb) Konstas hype this week is the underlying admission that no one truly thinks these guys are going to make it and we should hope for someone who actually might.

Gonna be pissed off if Labuschagne injures himself bowling medium pace. Plus I'd argue him retaining or improving his legspin is more useful.

100%. Been saying this, especially the latter part, ever since I first saw him bowling meds


Someone really needs to tell him in no uncertain terms to give that **** up

Yeah Marsh and Green existing means Marnus bowling seam up for Australia won't really be required very often if it all, but his leggies as a second spinner definitely could.

It does make sense for Queensland in this line-up tbf, but I think it would have been better if they batted Neser at 7 and picked another quick (or Wildermuth).

I suppose the argument otherwise is that Marsh isn't really fit to bowl. But regardless Marnus is simply not accurate enough.

Even if Marsh and Green didn't exist, Marnus bowling medium pace still shouldn't be required on the basis that he is absolute shite at it

Yes Marsh deserves a spot but he hasn’t bowled for a while and I’m not confident he’ll be back doing it effectively for the bgt. He’s in front for sure but 5 tests without a 5th bowler might hurt us. Webster and Hardie should be a chance. Otherwise Travis might get a few overs this summer.
