I can't believe they aren't adding any young batsmen

 

[Aussie_boy]

Drop Pope for Bosisto I say, no idea who will open. Get Sayers up the order to give it a whack, couldn't possibly be much worse.

Slim pickings, don't think there are any.

Um, if you bring Bosisto in, surely he opens?

What about those brothers I saw you guys talk about in the Redbacks thread? Also can't believe you didn't try to poach Short at all over winter.

Bosisto can bowl offies if Pope gets dropped.

Bosisto can bowl offies if Pope gets dropped.

Yes, but he has also opened the batting in the Sheffield Shield previously as well. That was my point.

Probably, I prefer him down the order especially if he's in predominantly for his bowling. A pretty uninspiring option nonetheless.

The Kelly brothers seem very raw think someone like Max Bryant, probably could've been brought in through the one-dayers if it was a regular season.

Probably did try to poach him but if he's getting a game for Victoria why would he come here? That's why we're stuck with the likes of Ryan Gibson and Will Bosisto.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Pretty bleak if you're dropping anyone for Bosisto tbh.

 

[Cleavy]

hope Weatherald gets the support he needs

What's happened with Weatherald? Mental health stuff?

yes

Weatherald takes time out for mental health reasons | cricket.com.au

Got to feel for Jake i know what its like to have mental health issues

This hub/lockdown life can definetly bring those issues to the front. Doing the same thing every day can drive you crazy

 

[corbies]

Wasn't there talk that Weatherald was doing 8 hours in the nets a day in the off season?

Yep, hopefully he didn't completely burn himself out.

Rock star helps Weatherald find 'the magic zone' | cricket.com.au

The South Australian opener discusses his new-look training regimen and refreshed mental approach to…

www.cricket.com.au

"So I did two weeks' worth of eight-hour-a-day training on guitar and realised, 'I should be doing this for cricket'."

Weatherald took the eight-hour rule to heart.

After sending his teammates videos of Morello, Weatherald roped in his Redbacks opening partner Henry Hunt, along with Will Bosisto and Brad Davis to an eight-hour batting program adapted to their craft.

Weatherald and his teammates would start at 8.30 in the morning at the Gillespie Centre indoor nets and, using taped-up tennis balls, bouncy balls, skinny bats in addition to more common cricket tools like dog-throwers and ball machines, kept going until it was dark outside.

That would be enough to kill anyone

This could end terrible

 

[eth-dog]

Exciting. Maybe we're planning on 5 bowlers with Sutherland batting at 7.

 

[11kgm]

Maybe no Holland and have short bowling spin

Zero chance that Holland misses in South Australia. Averages about 15 with the ball there.

Depends what the pitch is doing I guess
