Wasn't it 79 off 60 with 7 fours and 6 sixes?
Anyway, i'll pass on the bandwagon, a few more good games and i might jump on.
Lets first see how he does against the better Under 19 teams in Pakistan and India ...

Seems like more of a bowler than a batsman. Anyone can slog it at the lower levels, I think he might be a Brett Lee/Shane Warne type batsman (speaking of which, Warnie made a ton for St kilda!)

Cam White batted at 3 in the u19 world cup and then spent the next few years of his career with Victoria batting at 7, 8. Only now is he starting to improve with the bat.
Those figures with the ball of Moises are much more impressive than those with the bat
All he has to do is make double figures and hes a shoe in for the next spot as the all-rounder in the selectors eyes.

NSW did the same thing to Steve Waugh when he was a kid. Played him as a bowling all-rounder, of course that was a long long time ago.

Good knock from Henriques against SA today.
43 from 24 balls with some great strokes against decent bowlers.
It's going to be really interesting to see how Henriques progresses and whether he'll be fast-tracked because of his obvious talent.
How long before he gets picked in a ODI squad?

How old were Steve Waugh and Ricky Ponting? Henriques is rated just as highly as they were as a youngster. in fact he's one of Australia's modern day "wonderkids" joining Steve Waugh and Ricky Ponting. Add Moises, what a list.

Henriques turns 20 in February.

Only a handful more eye-catching performances and he could make his way into the side. Maybe even a late charge for the World Cup ;)
So he'll be in the mix during the VB series. :)
All things considered, he could be a shot for the World Cup if Watson is given the Opening Batsman position and another All-Rounder is needed.
I've seen Moises play a few times now and he just seems to get better and better every time!

Like the look of him
Has a very good, solid action, can probably bowl a little quicker. Technique wise he's also very good with the bat
Still needs a lot of time and experience though.
What pissed me off today was sleeping in and missing out on Bailey bowling, did not see him, hope to catch a glimpse in the news tonight

I'm on the bandwagon after seeing his innings today.
Whats his bowling like? Is he going to be a genuine all-rounder or will he end up like Cam White and others going one way or the other?
Won't play world cup unless he does some extradordinary things, already have Watson and Symonds as all-rounders.

His bowling is considered his strength. Unlike Watson who is a batter who can bowl a bit.

Johnson. Our big weakness is the lack of a quality spinner after Warne and Macgill. From what I have seen Cullen is trash, Doherty not much better, and Casson is unproven. That is a real weakness for Australia in the coming years.

He will NEVER make the Test squad until he dyes his hair blonde - it's law. If you want to play for Australia you have to move to NSW AND become a blonde. :p

Johnson isn't a young gun bowler.
Your non-existent credibility is gone.
Go away Trevor Hohns. :)
and Casson is proven,
proven crap!
I think those intelligent cricket observers out there ie; AC have seen the kid play and realise that he can't play.
Johnson and Casson. :) You make me laugh! :D
FFS let the kid get some runs (and wickets) on the board at first class level before comparing him to Waugh and Punter.
Has great potential, but still has to produce. Although being from NSW he will get ample opportunity. Clarke was going to be the next Don Bradman at one stage, and has subsequently been dropped.
Henriques seems to have the skills, just needs to continue to develop "between the ears" and consistency.

He was clearly the pick of the NSW bowlers, but Clark, Bollinger and Nicholson were all bowled more.
Henriques was limited to 13 overs out of 82.
What's that about?

Stuart Clark finished with 1/92 from 22 overs.

Maybe they just wanted to preserve Henriques' figures.

Selectors- take notice. Captain of U19 world cup. Can certainly bat and bowl. Surely a place in Australia A squad at least. Not many gun all-rounders around so if you want a guy that can play for Australia for another 15 years then look no further than Moises Henriques and stick him into the VB squad.
just maybe
28 Oct 2006, 16:44

Take your hand off it.
One performance does not an Australian career demand. He is nowhere near competing with Shane Watson and has played only 2 FC matches where he has struggled with the bat and had one good innings with the ball. His limited overs performances have offered nothing special either.
You have complained about Clarke and Watson being picked without sufficient career stats, yet you want to talk about THIS guy pushing through?
johnnyhoward
28 Oct 2006, 17:27
Watson averaged around 45 with the bat and under 30 with the ball (in FC) at the time he was first selected...and people still think he was selected too early. Not sure why people are so keen for Henriques to be given a go ahead of Watson. But Moises is an exciting player. A few more 5-fers this season and you never know, he may make an ODI squad.
FFS lets give the kid a full season at home to learn his craft.

His limited overs performances have offered nothing special either.I didn't mean that Henriques should be drafted into the squad straight away.
I'm not suggesting that he's going to make his international debut in the immediate future.
But I do think he's on the path to higher honours. I don't think it's a stretch to suggest he's been earmarked as a future Australian representative. Obviously he's going to need to justify selection with domestic performances, but I'd suggest that he's going to be given a sniff at some stage in the next 2-3 years.
I only mentioned Watson to highlight how hard it's going to be for Henriques to crack the side. I probably could have made that clearer, but Henriques is a long way from leapfrogging any specialist batmen, so he's going to need to commend himself as an all-rounder.
You have complained about Clarke and Watson being picked without sufficient career stats, yet you want to talk about THIS guy pushing through?Again, I'm not saying Henriques should be selected tomorrow.
But it's pretty clear that some players get identified early on as good prospects and are subsequently given opportunities. I think Henriques will be one of those players.
I'm not saying he should be brought into the national side in the next 6 months or anything outlandish like that. I'm just saying that he's a young talent whose star is rising fast, and it won't be long before selectors think "this guy's going to make it eventually, why don't we give him a shot sooner rather than later?"

28 Oct 2006, 23:24
engrave my name in the band wagon.
this kid has it all; the next keith miller!
Earmarked for the future? Looks promising? "I think he could be a good player in a few years"? Let the kid have some time to settle in at NSW? Selectors take notice? Comparable to Clarke and Watson?
What are you people on? The selectors have known about him since he was 15 years old. He's not just rated highly as some people have said, but he's rated so highly there's no words for it but to say he's a "wunderkid".
Surely you've noticed over the last four years selectors and other guys involved with cricket have been building him up? Surely you've noticed that he's been called a wonderkid and rated as highly as Steve Waugh, or Ricky Ponting at the same age?
The selectors believe without a doubt that Moises is going to be one of Australia's very very best players over the next 15 years. I find it hard to understand why people are saying "take note selectors" or offering their advice that he should be left to develope for a few years at NSW. The selectors noticed years ago!
What would people say if Steve Waugh or Ricky Ponting had been left to "develope" for a few years at their respective states?
Moises is a very tallented player and he's going to be pushed just like Steve Waugh and just like Ricky Ponting because the selectors know that he's got the ability to carry Australian cricket for well over a decade. If anyone ever thought that Clarke was rated anywhere near that highly (other than by the media) then there's something wrong with you.
just maybe
29 Oct 2006, 12:53
Another single-figure score.
He has potential, but any talk about his near elevation to Australian honours is absolutely laughable.
Let him make a run first. In his career so far, he has made one reasonable score (in a limited overs slog at the end), and had one good innings of bowling.
Everyone needs to zip their pants back up.
apollo_creed
29 Oct 2006, 13:23
Exactly.
You people on here are pathetic.
I've seen his bowling and he definitely needs to rely on his all-rounder status to get away with bowling 125km/h pies at domestic level. (wickets at the Gabba don't count as they're always juiced up for the Queensland seamers)
What I've seen of his batting, is that he can't.
Was scared of Tait's bowling the other day and doesn't look any better than someone like Jason Gillespie at the crease.

He's 19. Give him a few years and he'll be fine. I don't see many/any 19 year olds playing at the moment. He's going to be a gun.

To be serious (for once).
This kid will never reach the height of having a batting ave of over 50 and a bowling ave of under 30. He will be a Shaun Pollock MKII, IMO batting aver will be around 35 and bowling ave about 27.
Thats very good, but dont be expecting he will be a freak straight away or ever.

Was 12th man - they played 2 spinners, 3 fast bowlers, no room for him. Will probably be a bit tighter for a spot when Katich, Clarke, Mcgrath, Lee, bracken etc come back to play against TAS (DAM)
He really hasn't lived up to the hype. If you believed what people were saying, he'd be pushing for national selection already.

Well, he was never going to live up to that sort of hype. But he is nonetheless a very exciting prospect. I just don't understand why he isn't being given more game time. Only two first class matches to date. And a smattering of one day matches. Is he not performing in grade cricket?
Because if it is just a question of team balance, maybe he should be encouraged to move to another state where he will get a regular game. Maybe SA?

No, he's ours!:mad: He blitzes it in grade cricket, but just hasn't had enough experience at FC level. I'd be shattered if he left for another state.
