2016 Australia A Series

[JackOutback]

Yeah I wouldnt worry about that.

That's what people were saying about Stoinis and Harris has more runs on the board than he did when he moved over.

The issue with the Victorian system is at junior levels and not senior.

Australia A One Day squad:
Squad: Chris Lynn (capt), Peter Handscomb (v-c), Scott Boland, Cameron Boyce, Jake Lehmann, Glenn Maxwell, Joe Mennie, Kurtis Patterson, Kane Richardson, Alex Ross, Marcus Stoinis, Chris Tremain, Sam Whiteman, Dan Worrall

Pretty decent looking line-up, certainly with the bat, and like the choice of Lynn as captain. The Quad series starts in a week or so in Townsville.

Got out on Monday to AB Field to watch Aust A v Sth A, was there when Renshaw and Maxwell and Bancroft were scoring pretty freely. Ground looked a picture and was a pleasant arvo to sit in the sun and watch. Didn't realise how tall Renshaw is but he looked very composed at the crease. Had a brief chat to Pete Hanscomb as he was walking around the ground - nice bloke. Said they were having a ball playing on turf during "winter" (said with a big grin).

Expect them to line-up somewhat like:

Stoinis
Patterson (dunno who else to put there? Whiteman?)
Lynn
Handscomb
Maxwell
Ross
Whiteman
Richardson
Tremain
Boyce
Worrall

Selecting one opening bat was a bit weird.

 

[Hellgood]

Surely Mennie gets an opportunity in there.

 

[Snake Charmer]

Did Whiteman not keep in the game against SA?

He was keeping the day I was there.
Pretty sure that he was named as the first choice keeper with the others chosen as batsmen first and back-ups if need be.

Fair enough thanks! I didn't see any of the game but the app I use for scores said Handscomb was the keeper

 

[Torz]

Looking to forward to see how Heazlett goes in this series. Scored 120 off 77 for the NPS against the NIS the other day.

 

[Torz]

Maxwell has been bowling quite well today. Keeping it nice and tight.

13 overs 0-18

Remember when Boland was picked for Australia off of a 7 fa in one match? That's going to be a trivia question after this latest match. Papers stamped, return to sender. Mennie has comprehensively out bowled him but won't get a look in because he doesn't bowl fast enough, but still takes wickets.

If you have to resort to making up rubbish to justify a 'fish in the barrel' type obvious argument that Mennie is better than Boland, then well...

They bowl at the same pace.

How have I made anything in that sentence up?

Is Stoinis a better bowler than Marsh?

We need some solid competition for the all rounder spot ASAP

Better bat, not as good a bowler

 

[JackOutback]

Not even close.

At this point, Mitch is a quality bowler who can bat a bit. Stoinis is a bat who can turn his arm over a little. Like a Lehmann or Bevan (except medium pace).

I'm not even sure that Stoinis is a better bowler than Voges/Smith let alone Marsh. He's a batsmen who can roll his arm over from time to time.

 

[The_Reaper]

Stoinis is a glorified part time bowler

 

[Kyptastic]

Century to Handscomb against South Africa A. Probably first in line now for Voges' spot when he retires.

 

[JackOutback]

Looking at the squad, are Paris and Behrendorf injured, or is there another reason they are not playing. I would have thought they would be next in line.

 

[Torz]

Yes, they're coming back from injury. Last I heard they should be right for the start of Matador.

jason behrendorf should be frozen until we have the technology to rebuild him. he can share a tube with pat cummins and james pattinson

That 2047 Ashes attack will be imposing.

Another game, another Victorian century
