Next Generation

Vidler

Reminds me somewhat of Andy Bichel. Not sure he will feature in our next gen Test attack tho with Bartlett, Morris, Haskett, Beardman, Anderson all ahead of him. He is in the next tier tho with Aidan O'Connor, Louis Smith. Others may add their best young pace men.

I have Vidler potential above all them.

Don’t think the rest of them would sleep at night with that knowledge.

Where's my boy who was always crapping on about Henry Hunt? 68 runs at 7.5 facing a red ball since Christmas.

Good match from Campbell Kellaway by the looks of things. 79 & 77 while opening is quite good, he had 117* in the Marsh cup a couple weeks ago too.

Unpopular opinion but it was an ugly 77 in the second innings. Only positive would be he stuck phat and got through it to set up a reasonable score

Appreciate the insights, I didn't watch much of it. But as you say, an ugly 77 is definitely better than an ugly 20. I'd argue not enough of our young batsmen have shown the ability to score when things aren't going their way.

ive tuned in a little recently and he always seems to be battling. When you look at Harry Dixon who has taken to Shield cricket like a duck to water and now Blake McDonald (Blake is 27 and come from the strong NSW grade system)

Tuned in to watch some of the Vic second XI today. What a shambles that ended up being. David Moody had 5/8 early but a battling counter attack from number 8 Tom Rogers (104 from 193) and an exception 89 from 141 by number 10 Zac Beveridge saw ACT lift the score from 8/100 to all out 282.

Moody with 6, McClure 1, Warren with a bowled in the middle of the innings and Brodie Symons taken the last two wickets.


Really looking forward to seeing the firepower of this Vic second XI. Chandrasinghe is due, Brasher hasn't hit the heights of last year. Lemire is boom or bust and batting prodigy Ollie Peake is on watch imho. Tom Rogers is also in the squad so expect him to bully the underwhelming ACT bowling line up

Austin Waugh has been selected in a NSW 2nd XI game. He had a few seasons off and returned last year.

He has had a decent Premier season scoring 4 centuries as an opener.

A lot of low scores in between though.

Anyway, good to see. At 25 he could yet manage a handy FC career. Anything could happen after that.

Most of his innings are rather ugly and opposite to a Glenn Maxwell innings.
But is only young still and continues to improve and hopefully turn out to be a strong test opener

Harry Dixon from Victoria?
Only 20 played a few games for Victoria late last season and played a few decent knocks taking attacks apart

Looked comfortable at the level from the start (from what I saw) a few minor technical issues to work through but looks like he has a game that can translate to higher levels

He looks comfortable already and some innings he dominated the attack. The innings he played in the final game of the season for the vics he almost turned the game around.

He seems to either get a start for a 60 odd or gets out early. Either way he is probably best to move to nsw or sa where they seem to be able to develop batsmen far better then the vics do
