Australian Domestic Season 2016/17

Tangles

International Vice-Captain
He just wasn't concentrating and turned blind, very poor from a top order batsman.

Nev making runs makes you wonder one of two things: a) is he a great batsman against average attacks, but struggles against better opposition or b) does he perform better with the extra responsibility of being a top 6 bat and if so, why didn't the Aussie team bat him at 6 when M.Marsh was struggling/every innings that Marsh played.
Enjoys not having to listen to Smith?
 

Loose Cannon

U19 Debutant
Nevill's issue seems to be entirely of pacing.

Sri Lanka was the perfect example of him being pushed into batting with #intent and looking terrible. Once he was allowed to slow down he was comfortable.

I don't think he'll ever fit what they want out of a 7 or 6 in an Aus team scoring-rate wise.

A chap whose cricketing opinion I value told me today that he thought Doran was an outstanding keeping prospect.

Must admit that this is the first I have heard of it

Any thoughts?

Well he hasn't made any runs so at least that's something I guess

Massive.

So annoying though. Have convinced a German girl to like cricket here and when she had to pick a team, she said "Pick the team a SAussie would hate the most" just to mess with me so, of course, Victoria. After day 2, I was ****-talking so much and now she's on top despite not knowing who the **** the guys are (that they won the shield last year was a nice bonus).

****ing Deadbacks.

Not related to Loz Harper is he?

EDIT: Maybe next time I'll check Cricinfo first - uncle. TIL that Laurie Harper is only 45 years old, seems like a thousand years ago since he was playing. Always liked him, was stodgy but then would randomly slap a few to cow corner.

Yeah, his old man Bryan was a coach of Melbourne CC for a while too, lovely man.

Sam's the best young kid I've played against in Premier Cricket in my time, since I could refer to an opponent as "young kid" at least. And that's just as a pure batsman, let alone the fact that he keeps.
