Hogan keeps his head so still, and can play the ball so late. He is superb off the back foot, his timing, late cut, and back foot defence remind me of (dare I say it) right handed Brian Lara.
 
Nitish Samuel hasn't always timed it perfectly and doesn't always middle it, but overall he has been nice and compact with very good decision making. He has hit the leading edge trying to flick it to square leg multiple times. He needs to fix that.

He has battled hard and generally played each ball on its merits but now is looking a bit restless and is searching for his first (!) boundary. I hope he doesn't let himself down trying to force it.

Ah, after talking Steve up since I first saw him play when he was 15 or so, this feels good.

Young batsmen who start Shield cricket promisingly often face a second wave of challenges, once there's more footage and data available on them.

Bowling attacks hone in on weaknesses. Favourite scoring areas get closed off. Their technique gets tested.

A case in point Teague Wyllie.

Better I hope. Does he also bat. Why the tears of joy as Sabba has always been sub international level.

Is this Cup behind the Prime paywall too? YT also has zero footage of the Aussie game.

Great start Aussies. Can see why even tho this is white ball. I liked Hogan's timing and placement. A white ball star is born. Am waiting for him to play a Youth Test before I can say a red ball star is born.

He played youth test against India last year. Top scored in that match which ended up been the highest score by an Aus player across both tests. Didn't play the 2nd test though.

Not sure what to make of Nitesh Samuel's innings. 77* off 101 with no boundaries is impressive both ways. Didn't look to play any expansive shots at all, hence the 2s everywhere. Good runner between wickets though.

I look it and think great that he didn't just throw his wicket away.

Oh absolutely, he did play well.

I just think he looked just a tad limited on the eye test. But these are 18/19 year olds after all.

Limited can be a strength if he plays to his strengths. We don't need them all to score quickly.

I did miss this. Blowed if I know how. Why did Lee-Young open, usually bats #4/5 for his club. He also batted down the order in that clip I posted where he top scored in both inns in the other Test. He certainly got off to a flyer but got a touch cute trying to play a lifter off the back foot that he didnt need to as he had been leaving well up to that point.

A bit of a nervy start by Hogan with several flirts, then he settled. He has a compact technique and plays late like all the best bats. Played a wide assortment of strokes and didn't miss anything loose. Impressive. Only one minor criticism he could be surer with his spin footwork. What club does he play for as he is now on my to follow list.
