Australian Domestic Season 2022-23

It looks like Steketee has finally woken up to how to get batsmen out.

Last season and the start of this one he has started to get bags of wickets instead just one or two.

Its a good sign.

Holy crap at that scorecard at the WACA. 20 wickets in a day. If you get a chance to see the highlights, have a look at how green the deck is. WA in with a shot after conceding about a 100 run first innings lead. Crazy day 2 yesterday.

Honestly I think pitches like that WACA one are pretty much worthless in judging the quality of a bowler/bowling attack in regards to a higher level. No doubt Steketee bowled well yesterday, but he and every other bowler were undoubtedly flattered by the conditions on offer. Don't believe you can draw much about whether someone is good enough from performances on a sort of deck that almost never occurs in test cricket especially here in Australia


I didn't think he was really test quality before, and this performance, albeit impressive, has done nothing to change that

Bit presumptuous on your part
Not at all

Steketee has taken 214 fc wickets at 26

Australia has been at or near the top of the test rankings for nearly 30 years and here’s a list of the players who debuted during that time




He’s better than a few quicks on that list and don’t get me started on complete scrubs like Doherty

And that’s without even considering other countries

That's not what I meant, presumptuous of you to think that I don't consider being a good shield bowler an incredible accomplishment

Steke's also done well for Australia A when given the chance, no? Remember him taking a few when india toured here last time, and he did well vs Sri-lanka in the A series when we toured there earlier in the year aswell.

Couple of fellas here have mentioned this before, but Aaron Hardie gets very few bouquets but is a very valuable part of WA’s side

WA v QLD shaping up to be a real tight contest, Cartwright getting out a major blow for WA but they still look on top to me
