Australians in county cricket

[eth-dog]

There are 15 Aussies playing county cricket in England this year. Bolded are the ones that I'll be interested to see results from

Billy Stanlake (all three) and Ben McDermott (OD, T20) for Derbyshire
Cameron Bancroft (FC) for Durham
Peter Siddle (FC, LA) for Essex
Marnus Labuschagne (all three) and Michael Neser (FC, OD) for Glamorgan
Daniel Worrall (all three) for Gloucestershire
Marcus Harris (FC, OD) and Josh Inglis (T20) for Leicestershire
Peter Handscomb (FC, OD) and Mitchell Marsh (T20) for Middlesex
Dan Christian (T20) for Nottinghamshire
Sean Abbott (FC, T20) for Surrey
Travis Head (all three) for Sussex
Ben Dwarshuis (T20) for Worcestershire

Neser should be great in English cricket and it'll be very interesting to see how Billy goes as a consistent FC bowler over there.

Billy not fit enough for FC over an Australian summer. They basically play every single day over there don't they? He'd be gassed after a couple of rounds.

Good to see Head over there in all formats and McDermott/Inglis for some white ball stuff. They are the interesting players from a future Australian selection pov for mine. If I was Carey I'd be over there. He is the annointed one by the selectors but I'd prefer Inglis personally and Inglis really starting to put together a body of work that they have to take notice of.

He's fit and has been in most Qld squads for matches since the BBL ended. Just isn't one of Qld's top 5 red ball quicks.

 

[Hamingja]

He might be fit as in not injured but he is usually ready to curl over and die after bowling a 4 over spell, that is what I meant by not fit.

Would of liked to see someone like Matt Renshaw go over

Handscomb might be an interesting one to follow, captaining in England at the home of cricket will be a good pressure cooker situation for him

Neser running through Yorkshire. Hopefully van pick up Rooty and a few more tomorrow.

Handscomb might be an interesting one to follow, captaining in England at the home of cricket will be a good pressure cooker situation for him

not handling the pressure atm. 31 runs in 6 innings.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Not a huge surprise given his Under 10s level technique. One thing making runs on our roads, another thing on actual testing cricket pitches.

I assume Head is equally struggling to adapt?

Cheers Donald.

Poor Marnus has just copped one of the worst LBW decisions I have ever seen. Deadset has hit him inline with 5th or possibly 6th stump

 

[toml]

Upon further inspection, this is going over 7th. How does a professional umpire give this out? Fmd

What an utterly ridiculous innings from Stevens. When the 100 partnership came up, Cummins was on 1*

What an utterly ridiculous innings from Stevens. When the 100 partnership came up, Cummins was on 1*

And when the partnership ended, on 166, Cummins had still only contributed 1.

 

[sherb]

"Contributing 160 of the pair's stand, Stevens contributed 96.4 per cent of the partnership - the highest share of any stand above 100 in first-class cricket."

So - Stevens 160, Cummins 1, Extras 5.

And an all-time f-c record in the process.

Amazing.

Bring him as a squad member for the Ashes! What a story that’d be.

 

[corbies]

Stevens' scores in county cricket before the ridiculous 190 were 0, 9, 5, 0, 1 & 0. Before that though there was another run a ball hundred.

An amazing stat in a long line of amazing stats about Stevens is he now has 30 first class 5-fors. All of which have come after his 35th birthday.

You can see why if he's getting decision like that Labuschagne one. The Cricinfo commentator describing it as "more or less in line with off stump" was taking the piss.

One final interesting point from this game was that all 11 wickets claimed by Glamorgan in the match were taken by Australians. Michael Neser (4/67 & 1/28), Timm van der Gugten (4/34 & 0/18) and Marnus Labuschagne (2/27) were the wicket takers. Michael Hogan (0/67 & 0/2) also bowled for Glamorgan but went wicketless.

Great to see Harris doing well. Labuschagne, Head and Handscomb are still struggling,

Fantastic to see re Harris. Exactly what we need.
Travis Head has been extremely dissapointing

 

[Crashy]

Another ton for Harris

 

[Voice of the G]

Another ton for Harris

Lets not write him off for test selection yet and could surprise if he batted 5 or 6.

 

[Santana]

Sean Abbott has done his hamstring after one game and is headed home.

Marnus back is the runs with 44 and 63no to steer Glamorgan home on a pitch that was doing 130k legbreaks. Cant believe Fox were already pushing articles that he was in downfall, poor bloke has got the s**t end of the stick as far as pitch and weather conditions go.
