CRICKET General Cricket Discussion - 2023/24

[Sproj]

The other guy who is having an excellent season very quietly but very impressively is Sean Abbott.

 

[Sproj]

I just realised, Pucovski is effectively 438* after the last two innings. Stunning!

 

[1910]

Most SS runs between dismissals.

Simpson 545
Bradman 517
Jones 510
Bradman 499
Bradman 479
Puckovski 438*

 

[1910]

Dene Hills was the last batsmen to get two 200 in a row in SS 1997/1998.

205 against Victoria and 265 against SA. 1132 runs for the season.

Great guy and works under Langer now as performance analyst.

That’s not bad company is it.

200*

Batting William.

Pucovski has to be opener first test, he is such a complete player against pace. He hasn't really come up against any decent spinners thus far this season but hey, as an opener in Australia, this isn't a huge issue.

 

[Sproj]

I haven't got much work done this last half an hour with Renshaw's ton, Pucovski's 200, Pierson into the 90s and Silk standing tall while everyone around him implodes.

 

[Sproj]

He's out!

What a wonderful couple of innings from Will, enjoy a well earned rest now before the first test lad.

 

[Sproj]

Jordan with a Silky ton in a game where not many other batsmen has been able to score double figures. This is a great innings.

 

[Sproj]

WA go to lunch at 2/20, both openers gone. Green will bat after lunch, strap in all.

 

[Unbreakable]

Shaun Marsh is a run machine at the moment, unluckily for him the Test top 5 looks to be pretty set in stone with Pucovski & Head scoring plenty of runs and Warner, Labuschagne & Smith being our best 3 batsmen.

I think Green will be rushed in at 6 instead of Wade, I just have a feeling that they will want him in there. It is hard to ignore a gun allrounder who happens to be very good with the bat.

I hope so. The sooner we get Pucovski & Green in there and leave them there the better off we'll be. Imagine how good we'll be in 3-4 years once they've found their feet and guys like Labuschagne & Head hit their prime. (28-32 seem to be the prime years for batsmen nowadays)

 

[Medic]

I think Pucovski & Green will get into the squad. Don't think they will get into the 11. The future is looking bright though :).

 

[Sproj]

Apparently the selectors have suggested they will pick a squad of 17 and did I read somewhere Hazlewood is injured? I'll assume he isn't anyway and I reckon the squad will be something like:

1. Warner
2. Pucovski
3. Labushagne
4. Smith
5. Head
6. Green
7. Wade (back up keeper)
8. Harris/S.Marsh

9. Paine

10. Cummns
11. Hazlewood
12. Starc
13. Pattinson
14. Neser
15. Abbott

16. Lyon
17. Swepson
