Future Australian Test Prospects

[Peter Doherty]

My boy Morris put any thought of a Croweater comeback in the coma position inside 10 balls yesterday. Quick as I've seen. Jordan Buckingham also looks a likely sort. Ran in hard at 0-250 and any other day would have more than one wicket to show for it. Bowls a lovely shape at high speed. Very impressed.

I just see Gillespie when I've seen Buckingham.

I just think of Fleetwood Mac

Because Buckingham gets Nicks?

Future Australian Test Prospects circa 2022:
Henry Hunt, Tim Ward, Aaron Hardie, Josh Inglis, Lance Morris, Teague Wyllie, Taheer Sangha, Tod Murphy (probables).
Xavier Bartlett, Lawrence Neil-Smith, Cooper Connolly, Ashley Chandrasinghe, Jason Sangha, Bryce Street, Baxter Holt, Blake Edwards, Tom Kelly, Jarrod Freeman, Lachlan Hearne (possibles).

Adding Oliver Davies, Jack Attenborough, Blake MacDonald to my possible list after the way they toyed with the Windies Test attack yesterday. Specially Davies. This bloke was all hype three years ago after he became the first cricketer to score a white ball double hundred in a U19 national. He then went off the radar as most underage stars do and was even ignored by his a own state selectors. Both he and Attenborough should now be on the Blues rookie list.

Think Ollie Davies would have a fair bit to do before being even in the frame for a Shield game. Remember Stuart Clark ripping into him in an ODD game for stepping away.

Doesn't bode too well for the Windies that he's making runs.

 

[Peter Doherty]

Stepping away as in refusing to play you mean. ODD is white ball. This game is in white duds and hitting a red ball. Clarke as in a commentator? When was that. Davies has just turned 22.. a pup so still learning the game. What was so impressive about his kock was the time he took to reach his ton.. against the Test strength Windies attack. I say that bodes very well to, at least pit him on the selectors radar, state or white ball national.

Keep it in your pants.

• 12952 runs
• Batting Avg @46.42
• High Score 208
• Wickets 216
• Bowling Avg @15.98
• Best Bowling 5/5

Davies career stats across all formats and grades:

I'd say someone with those stats is very much in the frame for Shield or List A cricket

Maybe it's just me, but I don't think his under 11s figures matter that much.

 

[BGman]

Obviously I hit a funny bone. Davies, 22 has been playing club firsts (Manly) for 4 yrs. Also to my knowledge MyCricket stats only go as far back as U16s Green Shield.

Better then;

Travis Head - 15224 @ 37

Labuschagne - 14569 @ 36.98

Its funny how all the Aussie batsmen have better Test records then club records, just shows how well prepared pitches are in international cricket compared to weekend cricket.

Your knowledge is incorrect. Here's a link to some of his junior club cricket that goes back to u11s and u12s stats which are included in his mycricket career.

I read an article mentioning Todd Murphy's name very strongly about going to India.

It's not the first one either so selectors have obviously got a keen eye in him. That's its trickled to different journos for different publications.

I haven't seen much off him. Seems a big risk to throw a young spinner to the wolves in India if you ask me.

Did well in Sri Lanka to be fair

Might be one of those pick a young spinner for the tour deals. We need to think about who replaces Lyon and it is not Agar.

It's Tanveer Sangha, when he's back and fit.

Leggies are a risky proposition, most of them don't work out. We need to have an a few offies developing.

Murphy looks like a handy option there.

I remember Kuhnemann was linked with the Pakistan/Sri Lanka tours this year but never eventuated. Murphy to me looks a very promising prospect though.

On the back of 5 games LMAO.

I remember when Agar had played 1 season he averaged less then 30 in both formats and getting massive hype.

 

[eth-dog]

Murphy does look good. It's early, but he bowls with good flight and control.

I've hardly said he's the second coming of Christ, have I?

Nathan Lyon's first class stats on test debut...



Sometimes they work out, sometimes they don't. I don't agree with it - another year or two in the shield is my preference - but it shouldn't be a surprise if they do pick him.

After Warne they tried about 14 spinners, Lyon was a fluke find.

Still remember Beau Casson lol

 

[big_e]

After Warne they tried about 14 spinners, Lyon was a fluke find.

And Todd Murphy could be, too.

I thought Lyon was picked too early, despite the results. I think picking Murphy would be too early, too.

Just don't be surprised if he's on the plane to India.
