Austin Waugh recently scored a Ton for NSW Metro U 17's thumping of Queensland..Kid can play…

So true, SA had plenty of excuses if they had lost, but as always they dug deep. Been a while since I have Seen our mob show some real character. I suppose fore years thy always had players like Gilly and Warnie to dig them out of holes.

The sad thing is there is no young kids around banging on the door to inject some enthusiasm into he team

Pat Cummins
Travis Head
Adam Zampa
Cameron Bancroft
Callum Ferguson
Joe Mennie

That is quite a lot of talent imo

Ferguson is about to turn 32

Worked out OK for Rogers, Hussey and Katich. Pretty sure they were all into their 30's when they first lined up in the creams.

I also think Cam White would be a success if given the opportunity, as would handscomb

Australian cricket will be at its lowest ebb if Cam White gets another run in the Test side

Wonder what they expect from the Hobart pitch ??

Its usually either a seamers paradise or a highway for batsmen

I know that's decisions are made a long time in advance , but the choices of grounds just seem ludicrous v the Saffas

Why you'd choose the WACA when we have lost the last 2 v the Saffas at the WACA and Hobart suits the Saffas if its a highway or a seamer just had me scratching my head and getting splinters

CA's hands are tied to an extent. SA don't play over here on Boxing Day or New Years anymore because Australia did not want to reciprocate by playing over there on Boxing Day and New Years. So automatically it rules out playing in Melbourne and Sydney against them.

White would still be better than anything Queensland have to offer.

Don't think the pitch at Hobart is gonna matter when it rains for 3 days.

I've never seen Burns bowl , but I'd reckon he land them better than White ever will at Test level :roll

If there is an award for the World's biggest choker White would get it :roll

Not ideal Happy.
I'll back them to bounce back on the weekend though.

We are certainly bouncing back aren't we

Bouncing back to the mid 80's

Quote of the summer from Michael Clarke that won't be topped. Aussie's were 5/26 btw.

''The Aussies will know if they can get to lunch with no further damage and Philander doesn't come back, it will be a big advantage''

 

[jadtiger]

Woeful performance could be a 3 day test and that includes the rain

 

[innsaneink]

All out for 85

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

Suckiest bunch of suckers that ever sucked.

Obviously u blokes only watched Cricket from the 90's onwards through the Glory Years….

So quick to pull out the knives...

 

[WestsBenTigers]

We just need de kock out

IMO de knock may end up being almost as successful as Gilly
He is a batsmen who just bats no matter the situation and looks to score runs

I really admire those types of batsmen

Yes, all our bowlers should be trying to get de kock out

 

[Tbone]

He's not the biggest thing going around, but De Kok just keeps pounding away.

The whole team should put De Kock away and start playing some decent cricket

I'm only 31 so clearly that would be the case.

Still remember watching this game from Gladstone Hospital a few days after having my appendix removed with a South African Dr working the night shift
