2023-24 Australian domestic cricket season

[Prince EWS]

I think the worry is that guys like oneill are closer to mohammad abbas than McGrath in terms of pace..

They're not as tall or accurate as McGrath either.

Even Butterworth who was probably mid-120s was tall, extremely accurate and could bowl genuine outswing and genuine inswing beautifully, and he never really got on the radar.

O'Neill is similar pace to Butterworth but shorter, less accurate and just bowls 'wobble balls'. No meme repeated massive tons at #4 in the Futures League either. It's its very uninspiring.

Boland cleaning up and pushing for higher honours is fine even though he mostly bowls low 130s and doesn't move it in the air, because of his other attributes. But Fergus O'Neill doing it to me suggests something is wrong with the pitches, the batting or both.

Fergus is going to make you all look pretty silly when he clean bowls a fat pom (Bairstow?) with an unplayable rock with his first Ashes delivery and finishes with 400+ Test wickets. Looks the type to bang hookers all across England on tour too. Might marry an English movie star who knows

He looks like he sell's second hand dart's and pinger's outside woolongong station.

Your apostrophe key should be confiscated.

 

[TheJediBrah]

No he's drumming up business for local Wollongong law firm Sell, Dart and Pinger's

I failed year 10 English anyway, alphas don't care about grandma.

He doesn't even bowl 'wobble balls', or at least didn't in the BBL. Just the seam pointing straight. Yet he's averaging 20.

 

[morgieb]

I feel like people under-rate McGrath's pace. Early doors he could sometimes get it over 140kmph and it wasn't until the very end of his career that he wasn't regularly over 130. The guys we're talking about are slower than that.

 

[Midwinter]

The simple fact is that for most of McGrath's career, at least the second half he was 130-135 kmh and the last couple of years more like 125-130 kmh.
He was successful doing this.
Other people may be able to do it too.

HTH

McGrath was tall, unbelievably accurate, and knew how to extract movement from otherwise dead seeming pitches. That's not necessarily the case with this lot.

 

[Gnske]

Keaton Critchell is definitely a name now that exists i guess

 

[Starfighter]

Thornton having one of those days. 5.3-2-3-2 at the moment.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Wish they didn't play all these games on the same day ffs

Didn't have any on the weekend either

 

[Gnske]

McLachlan doesn't look half terrible for some random whose been thrown in.

 

[TheJediBrah]

North Sydney oval strikes again. Grade player Tom Rogers going to get a double ton

 

[Gnske]

He sure gave Bird wings

 

[Gnske]

There you go, there really is a god

 

[Spikey]

wait how did tassie end up with two injured players

 

[Kraken]

Another Dan Hughes ton, what a shock

If only he made consistent bbl runs, or offered a second skill, or scored faster, or didn't inflate his record by dominating on concrete roads with postage stamp boundaries....
