Australia A matches

[Spark]

Knew Benny would get Hughes. Tight line, mid 70s, some inswing to the leftie, nicks behind.

Apparently tried to late-cut :/

Maddison to 150, bloody hell

 

[theegyptian]

Chances Maddinson gets called upto the main squad after these two tons?

That doesn't hugely surprise me either. Ol' Hughesy.

I have no idea what Aaron Finch is doing in that A squad, he can't bat for **** in FC cricket, but otherwise it looks a good squad, Joe Burns is playing county cricket but I don't know where Ferguson is, is he playing CC as well?

Haha, go on Howelly.

If he makes it a double (looking likely) I'd say there's a decent chance.

He's a 21 year old, gun young talent, but has lacked the mental side of the game, seems to have done some growing up the last 12 months.

Is averaging 90 in FC since christmas.

TBF in terms of the mental side of the game, probably grinding out two and a half sessions for a hundred is probably more what people are looking for - still might do that, mind, and may have about 270 by then.

edit: or 320

oh darn

 

[sphynx]

Out for 181 off 142. 9 x 6's.

If anything, it seems like Maddinson has decided to just bat with more aggression. that's not particularly a sign of growing up. it's more a sign he got annoyed with his low scores and decided he may as well go hard or go home.

Not the worst plan though. Maybe Warner needs to go back to what he does best and just smashing it instead of trying to be a proper player.

It's not a particularly mature response to a prolonged form slump though

Fawad Ahmed took a catch

The rest of the batting lineup are openers except for Clarke so he would be a good fit.

Yeah, smashing attacks to all parts and averaging 90 is not we need atm

 

[Sylvester]

I'll be interested seeing where this more aggressive approach takes him this season especially on the trickier decks. Would have been good seeing Silk getting a 100 as his application is what our side needs at the moment and hence why Rogers should be a welcome sight to our side.

 

[Burgey]

That's a really good day for our blokes. Hughes with a bit of time in the middle, and Maddinson. Well. Lad has game.

 

[Daemon]

Smith is such a douche. Declared just because he got out and was afraid Khawaja would score big.

 

[Cabinet96]

Look ****, it was either declaring or watching Khawaja bat. Was barely a choice.
