This isn't Cricket Australia's facebook page man. Name at least 15 members with quoted examples who have said Travis Head is world class and I'll grant that you have the potential to gain a very small victory by the year 2021.
I couldn't even name 15 members in the first place

Niggle for Green.

What about former Test 'star' Arun Finch?

Dropped for Short as they wanted another bowling option?

Yeah I think they left Holland out because it's Perth and then decided they needed Short's offies just in case. I don't think they're especially better than Maxwell's to justify that, but on the other hand I don't think he's a worse FC bat than Finch anyway, so eh.

I agree that Finch should probably be captain, but this scenario in which he might not even make the team is probably why he isn't.

I would have went Arun captain, Short in, no Handscomb.

Seriously though, not expecting a great deal out of Holland this season. When he isn't even taking wickets against the SACAs you know he isn't in the greatest of form.

Really think Queensland will be kicking themselves at how well SA have gotten themselves to a defendable total.

Just found out via the comms that Finch isnt playing due to a sore back. I thought it was a tough call dropping him after a 44-ball 57.

Harris has made a century and a 69 but that ugly swipe to get lbw was horrendous.

I really rate Kelly.

Big step up from batting 9 in Futures last season, but to be fair he did score a lot of runs doing that.

Where does he bat in SACA Prem?
Generally 4 over the last couple of seasons, 3 in round one this year. Averages in the mid 40s with 8 tons.

Him, McInerney and Nielsen makes for a pretty strong Peckers top order

Haha I actually had no idea he was actually a proper bat tbh. That's pretty cool. I thought he'd have been chilling at 5 or 6 averaging in the 30s.

I need to start the "Aaron O'Brien but not disappointing" Facebook page.

I love it. He can certainly bat, but there does have to be a bit of a caveat on that regarding the sort of attacks it is against. Valente averages 41 batting up the order too, Kelvin Smith averaged a bees dick under 50 when he was here

Oh yeah it doesn't mean he's going to succeed as a bat by any stretch but if Valente bowled left arm spin or Smith bowled anything at all to the standard Andrews does they'd be much more interesting players. Him being a proper top order bat at a level below who was entrusted to make big scores makes him a different prospect to the bowler-with-batting-ability I thought he was, even though I still think he'll primarily get picked as a bowler forever.
