Always puts a simle on my face when two young blokes with talent score runs in the Shield.

Agreed, hoping Patterson can crack the 'hoodoo' and get the 2nd ton

Anyone see higher honours for Ryan Carters? Possibly shorter format cricket? Would be a more destructive batsmen than the next pin up keeping boy Sam Whiteman

Didn't Victoria used to play Handscomb as a keeper ahead of him?
I actually do like him as a finisher though

Seems to have turned a corner somewhat this year (with the bat). Obviously needs to be keeping if he were to make it at that next level though. (come on Pig Smith, move along already

Is much more suited to the longer game. Scores at about 75 in 50-over cricket and less than run a ball in T20.
But yes, he has got potential for higher honours but a way to go yet.
First saw him bat in a futures league game and he got a big century against NSW. Abbott and Sandhu were in the bowling attack so it was pretty decent.

Definitely think he could play test cricket, the finishing role worked well for him in the matador cup and am keen to see how he goes for the sixers this BBL. Don't know much about his keeping unfortunately although he seemed relatively clean for the Thunder last year.

Would have to step up a lot!
Wade, Whiteman, Handscomb are all better options in the future. And I think the selectors would see it that way as well.

Fair enough, personally I think Carters is the best batsman out of that lot anyway (maybe Handscomb)

I struggle to comprehend how Carters is better than Wade. Has made test match 100s and is always consistent.
Handscomb has had a crazy shield average this year, And is a better batsmen then Carters.
Whiteman isn't there yet but i expect he will stream past him in a year or 2.
But everyone has their own opinions. all good.
Good to see a couple of much maligned, vertically challenged batsmen in Carters and Wells really develop into strong domestic cricketers. They've each improved their techniques out of sight, not too sure about pushing for international honours just yet but excellent signs so far.

Nah. His best role is as an opener in longer form cricket, and his keeping isn't good enough.

Patterson makes his 100, good effort.

So Qld get no bowling points. NSW get 0.57 batting points. Right now the table reads:
WA 21.33
Vic 21.21
Tas 13.38
NSW 13.22
SA 13.02
Qld 11.78
WA 21.33
Vic 21.21
Tas 13.38
NSW 13.22
SA 13.02
Qld 11.78
Whiteman is easily the best keeper of the above.
Handscomb's keeping should even be considered. He's a batsman who can keep if the keeper gets injured. If he gets selected (and I have faith he will develop into a good test batsman) it will be as a batsman only

The_Reaper summed it up well. Whiteman is one of the best "pure" keepers in the country. I like Peirson's glovework as well.

James Hopes is an absolute machine, will be a huge loss for the entire shield comp when he retires.
Hopes is a Sheffield Shield god

He's a better cricketer than a lot of blokes who got a baggy green over the last 5 years or so.
At least he got to play a good chunk of ODI's. Would've been quite unjust for him not to be able to call himself an international cricketer.
