Kellaway looks really good to me. I would be in favour of opening with him and Head. Peake could easily feature next summer and I also like Hugh Weibgen.

 

[cats_09]

Absolutely it is! Stoked for him, just selfishly wish it wasn't happening haha.

Totally agree

In just this seasons small sample size we’ve seen from Peake what many of us were hoping to see from JFM who hasn’t exactly put it together on a regular enough basis

Agree all 3 look promising.
In terms of quick bowlers it's frustrating Johnson is continuously injured. He'd be the perfect Starc replacement.

Big Spencer is a bit older than we think too. At 30 he will need to get his body right quick smart.

Yeah. I can't see it working out sadly.
Beardman, Vidler and Anderson are exciting though.

How about half a good season?! Hasn't managed that yet.

Smith averaged 17 in the shield at the same age…

With Bethell doing well, do we perhaps go away from waiting for players to dominate Shield cricket with bumper seasons?

Pick a player or players who we just think have a test standard game that will translate?

Typically if Shield results are the defining criteria you end up with 30+ years olds debuting

We did just absolutely thrash them.

Good to see Bethell got some runs in the end, but not sure that should take us away from a structured plan for succession. Playing Webster seemed to work.

Peake v JFM

Chalk v Cheese - no comparison

Yeah Peake seems very much like a classical batsman....can go the T20 tonk if he has to, but has a solid technique for long form cricket.

JFM has never ever struck me as anything other than a dead set slogger.

Peake's doesn't need runs to be selected. That's elite.

Lol, it's fair enough what you're saying, but Peake has been identified as a fantastic talent in every level he's played, and he's only recently turned 19.

He's a little way off - but I think he goes on the UK tour in 18 months time.

Peake certainly looks the goods technique wise, it’s obvious he’s got the talent but not the runs on the board yet. I would still be pushing him up the top of the list for the rejuvenation plan.

Agreed, JFM is just horrible. He’ll be lucky if he’s getting Big Bash games soon.

I remember when a certain person said letting JFM go was the worst thing Victoria ever did

I know some peeps around cricket Victoria and they were happy as Larry seeing him go.
