Got any thoughts about players - Post Here

[Mitchell54]

Just wanted a thread to see poeples thought about any player in the world.
Give your opinion. I personally didn't like the Yesterday when Cam White and Moises Henriques were Selected. I would have put in Mitchell marsh and Joe Burns instead.

Wouldn't have picked Xavier Doherty in the World Cup Squad. Australian pace battery is good enough for the selectors to take the punt on a wicket taking spin option (boyce for mine).

 

[ioppolo]

Michael Hussey could still slot into number 5 or 6 easily.

Brett Lee would be better value than Cummins at the moment

 

[Ashton Agar]

Shaun Marsh is better at the top of the order than at 5.

Agree. I don't see how Henriques has any place in the side at all. Not international standard.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Sandhu is going to have an excellent career in ODIs and T20Is but despite being a consistently good Shield player will never quite replicate that in the Test arena.

Well Mitch Marsh wasn't fit.

Otherwise he'd have played given he's in the world cup squad and White/Henriques are not

It's what happen when this guy gets a gig as a selector

Has had an absolutely horrid run with injuries the last few seasons but I still think Chris Lynn can have a better international career than Burns.
I think Butterworth was passed over when the time was right for him, was the best domestic all rounder for a period and was never even in the frame

 

[Richard Pryor]

David Hussey was stiff to get dropped from the limited overs squad when he did.

 

[t_94]

Marcus North was a promising test player who could have been a very good one if he'd backed himself more.

Lynn is a gem and will play 100+ ODIs/T20s for Australia if not many, many more.

Interesting I had a look at Butterworth's record and was a very handy alrounder. That Pura cup final says it all. Does he have some sort of return in him?

As for the original thread, I'll throw my love behind Simon Katich. A vastly under rated player, I really think he was absolutely world class and taken for granted at some stages.

 

[PaddyO]

Haddin seriously doesn't give a **** about averages. His test average would probably be 50 if he did. He always does what the team needs. Selfless batsman.

Also if wasn't a keeper could've comfortably been a test 5/6.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

5 Test hundreds, lots of players would kill for that record.

I don't see it. Can you fill me in?

Pakistan have a handy little batsmen Harris Sohail in their midst.

Trent Boult is going to announce himself on the world stage.

Quentin De Kock holds the key for the South African batting line up.

 

[Yoda_]

Peter Handscomb, Chris Lynn, Travis Head and Nic Maddinson are the next wave of batsmen pushing for International careers.

 

[Cory]

Agree. I don't see how Henriques has any place in the side at all. Not international standard.

Yeah I don't understand the rap for him tbh.

Handy with the ball, good striker with the bat. A proven leader and he does play for Mark Waugh's Sydney

 

[PaddyO]

What are Amla and AB holding then?

 

[Yoda_]

What are Amla and AB holding then?

I knew I was going to get asked, so here it is in the form of a batting line up;

You know what they are going to bring to the table.

De Kock is a higher production batsmen than Rossouw, allowing AB to focus purely on his batting/captaincy.

De Kock is quality, I agree. The three of them in the line up make them very intimidating.

It essentially comes down to a Rossouw/AB (wk) partnership is not as strong and powerful as a De Kock/AB partnership.

Don't see which part mate? The potential for excellence in limited overs?
