Pretty sure many folk winced at Smith's technique when he first came on the test scene.....apparently quite a few folk are wincing now with his technique. Davies is one of a few batsmen on the Sheffield Shield scene, outside the test top 6, who has a FC average above 40, time will tell if the kid can continue to deliver....hope he does.

any notable names involved?

Manly should have Jack Edwards, Oliver and Joel Davies as well as Ryan Hadley who played a few shield games for NSW this year. Their captain is former NSW and Sydney Thunder wicket keeper Jay Lenton who got a double hundred in the qualifying final.

As Black Diamond said St. George will have Patterson who finished 192* in the Semi as well as NSW bats Blake Nikitaras and Blake McDonald.

Very underwhelming win for St George. Rollicking hundred for Oliver Davies.

So CA basically have confirmed they gave Bartlett a contract so they could control everything he did. They have revoked his NOC to play in the county championship for Kent. What a s**t show, let the kid play some cricket ffs.

You can’t be serious….

It’s a disgrace how they handle some of the fringe players.

Bowlers are assets that need to be preserved in their eyes and managed accordingly - Batsmen which we have zero of - can’t play enough

What is technique? It’s what you do under pressure - people who think technique is overrated are seriously deluded - look what is coming thru the pipeline…

Technique as muscle memory? Not a bad way to look at it. And when the mental and physical fatigue sets in, and the pressure is high, that's what can get someone through that patch to the break in play, or change of bowling, or ball/pitch condition getting more helpful.
If your default doesn't work for you, you can play cameos (suitable for T20 and some 50 over perhaps) but less likely are the multiday game match winning/saving innings.
