great work from Matthew Phelps against Queensland.

He only needed to be in the leading runscorers of Sydney Grade Cricket for about 6 seasons before the selectors realized he can play cricket and start giving him a decent run for NSW :rolleyes: and someone like Greg Mail got in in front of him :mad:

Finally he's got his rewards and is putting a great possibly match winnings knock against Queensland at the moment.

He's as good as any opener going around in Australia except for the top class ones such as Hayden, Langer, Maher etc,. And i dont think he is that far of those guys for general class.

Wouldn't be out of his depths playing Test Cricket although he'll never get a chance because he's pushing 30 now and only played 12 first class games. If he was picked about 4 or 5 years ago and KEPT in the team when he should've been he may have entered selectors thoughts of playing test cricket at some stage.

Keep going Matty, you're in for a big season. Scored about 600 runs in the past 2 weeks.
 
This guy can really bat - and he is a Manly-boy too! He has been on fire in grade for Manly and deserves his chance in the Blues side. I'd love to see him have a terrific year in the Sheffield Shield and push for a test spot, he definately has the talent.

Good to see young Michael Clarke get a few too. He will play for Australia within the next two years I reckon. All class.
