Looking at the highlights of Konstas' innings, I can't help but notice the his vertical bat boundaries were almost entirely off and cover drives, many of them quite reaching, with pretty much nothing from the on drive or flick. However, no-one else for NSW seemed to be scoring much off those shots either, so maybe it was something to do with the pitch or bowling. Still, something to watch out for, though scoring zones can certainly be developed, like Head has.

Even though Lyon's getting wickets I still don't think he's spinning the ball nearly as hard as he used to and his action's still more chest-on. Probably not going to revert back to his mid-late 10s spin at 36 going on 37.

Is Lyon actually good? Never had me convinced in the past but here he is outbowling other Shield bowlers

Marnus in the runs, marsh in the runs, both of our keeping options in the runs (even if carey dropped a sitter that probably cost SA this game). Decent signs. Wouldn't mind seeing usman get a bigger score here. Head not making any red ball runs after this summer is also a concern, but still more shield to come so hopefully he figures it out.

I'm quite happy with how McSweeney's going. He is the batting PONI "triple threat": looks good technically, putting up the numbers and is relatively young. I've got him pegged as first cab off the rank if I was a selector

He's 25 and averages 35-ish (actually 33.8 before this match). For a long term test batsman ideally he'd be averaging mid 40s by now.

Yeah you probably want a cameron green 2020-2021 type period before getting TOO hyped. Seen too many Caleb Jewell esque 6 month runs too be excited by mcsweeney atm.
