What will the australian under 18 squad look like

[iamdavid]

Floros and Carters are the Canberra guys I'd expect to be picked in the Aus U18 squad....

Thornton is a year too old, however he's still the best young cricketer in the ACT imo (was pretty suprised Behrendof got picked for PM's XI over him). He looks like he's really improved in leaps and bounds over the last year. He'll probably get snapped up by one of the states over the offseason.

Maddinson made a good 60-odd in the Gregory Cup match yesterday. Good to see him in the runs.

EDIT: He's also not out tonight.

Floros had a gun under 17's carnival but was disappointing at the 19's.

I'd agree Thornton is currently looking like the best of the youngsters (also happy to say he remains my only first grade wicket), but potentially I think Carters will go further because of his wicketkeeping.

Simon Helmot, former ACT coach, is (after the resignation of Darren Berry) 2IC at Vic.

Ah yeh that sounds right. Good for ACT cricket to have contacts in other states.

Would like to see NSW sign ryan carters to be honest he seems an exciting propsect,a touch of haddin about him.

A shame Floros is the only ACT player to make it, as usual they get overlooked.

Naa he's only 18, I'm sure he was eligible for this, he's only a couple of months older than Floros.

Maddinson is a ****ing gun.

Can someone give me a run down of the players in the squad only know a few of them,did most of them play in the under 17's this year.

I image blonde mullets will be to the fore again and at least six or seven of the squad will be called either "Brad" or "Shane".
