Australia A vs India A games

[social]

Seriously though, there are few things more satisfying in cricket watching a player you have known about for years get at oppurtinity at a higher level and genuinely do a gun job, with his secondary skill no less

It’s also pretty amusing as you see a young guy walk out to bat with no reputation at all and straight away his footwork is better than many specialists

Haha take out Boland and this pace attack has a combined 7 FC games (all from Nisbet)

 

[Starfighter]

Jaiswal going with the 'stuff this' approach, followed by nearly being clocked by Nisbet.

 

[Burgey]

Now that Bolands playing the 2nd Test why would CA give India batsmen a look at him under lights here? I'd sit him

Yeah I thought this a bit odd too

He’s got a terrific bowling action too

This discussion about younger Indian player playing a lot of games, and longer games, compared to the Australian players playing fewer and shorter games and relying more on practice might have something to it. Our best batting era came when younger players still regularly played grade.

These two should probably retire soon.

Beardman and Anderson go for 25 off 2 overs....welcome to higher level cricket

 

[Starfighter]

Jaiswal's cut over the the slips is frustrating to me not just for the runs but because I don't see any Australian batsman (aside from Head on occasion) try it. It's not the safest shot of course, but you'd think it would be productive on our bouncier pitches.

Well fielded Sam

What happened to Rahul? Scorecard says retired hurt?

 

[Starfighter]

Now we're hearing the commentators describe a theory that Indians are now much better at playing fast bowling because their net thrower is a tiny guy who can throw with the dog thrower really quick and uses all sorts of different balls and can basically do anything.

What happened to Rahul? Scorecard says retired hurt?

Nothing happened. Just left to give others batting practice.

Scorecard software doesn't have "retired out" option I guess

Reddy looking good

 

[silentstriker]

damn it sarfaraz khan

 

[silentstriker]

I know Aussies usually don’t pick 19 year olds but Konstas in the squad at least?

 

[silentstriker]

So both Reddy and Sundar scored runs and Rana took a bunch of wickets. So who do you leave out?

Padikkal is out obviously. But looks like Gill will also play, so gotta leave out Jurel? Seems a bit harsh - he looked great in the tour game previously. And for bowling, I guess Jadeja in for Sundar? Deep in for Reddy? But that may weaken the batting too much given how well Reddy is doing with the bat.

 

[Burgey]

Good to see former Northwest Sydney Hurricanes 4th Grade Shires player Jack Nisbet on the park for Aus A

Same team with Gill/Rohit in. Jurel/Paddikal out.

I think Deep would be useful on this wicket. I can’t imagine not going in without a spinner though. Jadeja/Deep for Sundar/Reddy? Seems very harsh on Reddy particularly.
