MJ Clarke, NM Hauritz, EJM Cowan, CD Hartley, MG Johnson, SE Marsh, AB McDonald, PC Rofe, AW O'Brien and SR Watson have all played first class cricket.
MJ Baker, GC Batticciotto, LG Buchanan and TH Welsford haven't, as far as I know. Welsford's played one List-A game though, so might play more for Victoria in the future.
Yeah, none. Australian cricketers almost never play FC cricket before they turn 19 anyway.honestbharani said:I would like to know how many players of the current under 19 squad of Australia (who are touring INdia, BTW) have played FC cricket?
If that's John Buchanan's son he is very close to the Qld side.age_master said:Buchanan and Welsford are very close to playing if they haven't played already.
And yet we are having a close series with them and our team has almost 3 or 4 FC cricketers. That is why Australia is stronger than India, I guess.FaaipDeOiad said:Yeah, none. Australian cricketers almost never play FC cricket before they turn 19 anyway.
India u-19 won 4-1. A few of the India u-19 have first class experience but its not that much...just 1 or 2 first class or list A games, which is pretty negligible in the grand scheme of things.honestbharani said:And yet we are having a close series with them and our team has almost 3 or 4 FC cricketers.
