Neil informed me a while ago that every junior player in England gets their complete & up to date stats posted on the net , complete with all these run scoring graphs & everything , I checked it out , very detailed , told me everything from Neil's batting average of 1.75 to his match turning 6* , or was it 7* , anyway :P
Thats actually pretty impressive , out here I cant even find stats for most Sydney first grade players & certainly none of our juniors clubs could be stuffed putting that sort of comitment into their websites.
Guess we spend our money on producing good cricketers rather than keeping the figures up to date eh :P

That's the one.raju said:
Match saving, 25-ball, 6*. Career HS :saint:
It's all down to whether the clubs have got the members who can be bothered to spend the time putting all the statistics online.

Back on topic, the best young player around (other than Michael Clarke) is without a doubt one Shaun Marsh. I had never seen him before I saw him in the Aust A game in Perth and he was CLASSY. The shot off his legs second ball was magic. He's got a fairly minimalist technique too - no nonsense. He's got the look and feel of his Dad Geoff Marsh but the attitude, timing and sheer brute power of a Gilchrist or Klusener. He also has his Dad's temperament as he was able to score at a run-a-ball even when Aust A were 6/66.
A potential great, in my book. All he needs is the opportunity and I think he'll excell.

The Innings of Marcus North today was also a very very good innings...
Clarke again showed his class, and i do agree with TC that Marsh's innings the other night was very good..
On the bowling front i feel that Adam Griffiths of Tasmania bowled pretty well in both games

Let's not go overboard here - he's young (20), desperately inexperienced (still less than 40 first-class wickets) and Australian.Eclipse said:
Oh, right, 1 out of 3. Get him in the test side then.

Cant beleive you have not seen him yet.Craig said:
Any way there is nothing wrong with his seam position infact he get's heap's of life out of the wicket and swing's the ball fantasticly in and out.
He still has many of the traditional fast bowler trait's though he is quite often short or full ( not as bad as Lee) and often loses controll of his swing and bowl's a few wides.

No, not bottom line, because you can't get away with generalisations and grouping things into groups that they don't belong in.raju said:
Like it or not, Ramprakash changed as a Test player when he scored a crucial 48 in the second-innings of The Sixth Test in 1997. I choose that time because of that fact. 37 is not a mediocre average; it is very good compared to other Englishmen. I am the first to say that the substandardness of others doesn't detract from the substandardness of one, but I am also the first to say take averages in context.
Ramprakash's proper position is basically anywhere from three to six, occasionally down to seven if seven batsmen are playing. You're wrong that he batted three for most of his career, you've mixed-up two positions - he batted mosty four for Middx, now he's mostly three for Surrey.
In any position from three to six since 1998, he averages over 37 in Test-cricket. This transformation means past failures need be forgotten as no more than a bad memory. Just like they were with, amongst others, Ponting, Stephen Waugh, Marytn and Langer. And it looks like Katich may join this list.
The recent is what counts. And if there's an obvious division-point, it's pretty sensible to divide there.

Me and Neil will likely be team-mates next season:iamdavid said:
No fourth-XI, but if you swap it for third-XI I'm a regular in the lot.Neil Pickup said:I'll be happy to play a couple for the Sunday/Midweek/4th XIs.. I really am that limited!
Now I'm all for friendly internal-team banter-bashing (Neil, you just wait
8D ) but to be a member of such a prostigious (
) international organisation is pushing it too far.

I cannot believe Neil might have the chance of playing in a 3rd XI.
:P
A mighty fine journalist though.....
Very embarassing season for me that was....

Especially rhyming banter.
