Next generation Test batsmen

[LukeParkerno1]

We went down the Maxwell route before. Until he uses his brain for more than 3 matches, let's not do it again. Maddinson is worse and shouldn't be close.

 

[western royboy]

Handscomb is ready

 

[getgaff]

Was surprised to see Jake Lehmann not on that list, looked online and sure enough he is 24 this year. Boof Lehmann has a 24 year old child, who'd have thought it

Boof was 19 when he was born

Yes agreed next in line for mine

Hard to believe Head's average is only 30! needs a couple of consistent seasons to be considered me thinks

Hardly hard to believe if you have seen him at Shield level

 

[Choomah]

If you saw his dismissal yesterday you'll understand why he only averages 30

 

[LukeParkerno1]

I'm shocked he even averages 30

 

[Moonwatcher]

It's nearly 9 years since a Victorian scored a test century. I think Handscomb will be the next

Do you know the stat for a South Australian?

Jason Gillespie in 2006

Jason Gillespie in 2006

Thanks, how about against a bigger nation?

Would be Boof against Sri Lanka in 2004.

Both WA and NSW (Voges and Khawaja) were last test.
QLD (Burns) was Boxing Day

and TAS (Ponting) was January 2012 against India

Just to complete the set, what about ACT and NT? Have they ever had one?

ACT would be Brad Haddin?

Not sure about NT. Martyn was born in Darwin but grew up in WA

Martyn from NT

 

[The_Reaper]

Martyn from NT

May as well put him down as NT because it's not like they have anyone else.

Kane Richardson I guess

Khawaja was born in Pakistan.

Wasn't Matthew Wade's (TAS-born) Test century more recent than Ponting's last one too?

 

[eth-dog]

Khawaja was born in Pakistan.

Yep, Jan '13

 

[The_Reaper]

Good point. Forgot about Wade.

Khawaja was born in Pakistan but grew up and learned to play in NSW.

In any case Warner and Smith have recent centuries

Maxwell was setup to fail in my opinion.
2 tests in the desert batting at number 3. In a series where Australia got thumped.

Chris lynn for me he should replace voges when he calls it a day.

 

[eth-dog]

Chris Lynn is overrated. Barely plays FC cricket anymore.

 

[The_Reaper]

Handscomb has to be ahead of Lynn for the middle order spot.

 

[JackOutback]

Handscomb has to be ahead of Lynn for the middle order spot.

If Voges were to retire tomorrow, what do you think the order of replacements would be?

SMarsh then Burns (with Bancroft to open), Handscomb, Stoinis perhaps?

Marsh then Handscomb
