Far cry from the NSW teams of the last 25 years!

Some positive starts to the year for our top order batters:

Kurtis Patterson - 110 v Tas
Marnus Labuschagne - 120* v Vic
Sam Konstas - 109 v India A
Campbell Kellaway - 88 v India A

Good to see top order batsman in the runs but I have a feeling the Poms quick bowlers are going to have a good series. They have about five quality quicks who can all bowl 140 plus. Ok we have a great bowling lineup but our batting is all over the place. If their Bazball batting comes off a few times we are trouble

Our Women Squad for ODI World Cup to be played September 30 to November 2, with hosts being India and Sri Lanka

Been a while since the Poms had an attack with some real pace.

Been a while since the Poms had an attack with some real pace.

Two of their bowlers should enjoy our conditions, we need our bats to hit them off length and game before they get it. Problem is until recent games a lot of our bats have struggled for runs let alone hit someone off their length.
3-0 our way.
