Australian Domestic off-season 2019

World Cup year, the contract list is somewhat focused on limited overs cricket. Regardless of personal opinions, I can understand the logic behind it

Zampa is a right handed Brad Hogg but not as good with either bat or ball. He's still or first choice white ball spinner for good reason, at least until Swepson lives up to a tenth of the hype built up around him.

The cricinfo headline associated with that pic says 'Zampa keen to continue dual spin threat with Lyon'. Threat? The main thing Lyon's ODI bowling will threaten will be our ability to keep the total under 350.


Was also reading Langer's excuses for not picking Hazlewood once J. Richardson was eliminated. I know he hasn't played white ball cricket for ages but I'd still back him to be better than K. Richardson (or either Richardson really). Not that Kane's a bad one day bowler, but he's clearly not of the class required either.

I don't know, I tend to agree that generally speaking Kane Richardson is nowhere near the class of the other guys, but I can just imagine him punching above his weight in super high-scoring conditions eg. taking 5-65 defending 350+.

And yeh Lyon being picked for ODIs has gone beyond a joke now. Never thought they'd actually put the creature in the WC squad

Getting all that in the same format was somewhat of a pain in the arse, where's brockers brockley when you need him

Qld getting rid of George and Feldman feels like the end of an era. Why Gannon though?
I have absolutely no idea why Gannon is still a thing, he's slow and he throws.

Feldman retired of his own accord, George was cut though. Even an old and half crocked George would still be better than Gannon imo

I've just thought of something. Charlie Hemphrey is playing for Glamorgan on a UK passport, yet he is still on the QLD list. I assume this means he will technically be considered an overseas player when he plays over here, kinda like Micheal Hogan did for a couple of seasons.

Andrews is comfortably better than Pope right now, but you'd think Pope has a much higher ceiling. It's a tough one.
Dunno. Overall package perhaps but, in bowling terms, they've both only had one good FC match. How Grant gets a full gig over Pope when the squad is already stacked with quicks, even taking into account Worrall's injury, very conservative.

From what little I've seen Andrews just looks much more consistent with building pressure and Pope bowls largely trash and leaks runs. Even Pope's big haul was mostly batsmen getting themselves out caught from ordinary balls IIRC. Just looking at their respective stats (from limited appearances, to be fair) which I didn't before, Andrews comes out looking pretty comfortably superior as well.

I think Andrews did reasonably well in the last game of the season as well. Very tight in the first innings and got two set batsmen out in the second inning in a smallish run chase.
Pope is 5 years younger, very young for a leg spinner and shows promise, but needs to develop. There have been other young leg spinners around, including Steve Smith, who have looked promising and turned out to be nothing as bowlers. Andrews made his first class debut for a Cricket Australia XI against West Indies and was the second spinner to Cameron Boyce who had a good game and Andrews hardly bowled.

How good is it to see the great Nick Bertus cementing his spot in the NSW squad for the upcoming season? Expect him to make his test debut within 12 months.

SACA have a long and very ordinary history of dealing with tweakers generally but especially guys who try to rip it hard. No hate for Andrews, taking all but 10-fer in Brissie for a finger spinner is something to really hang his hat on. I just hope they don't lose Pope to another state who he then proceeds to tear it up for. Whatever he's missing, bloke's a genuine wicket-taker.

That said, not as if it'll make a difference in terms of winning Shields. They've ironically got tons of bowling to work with. The real problems are further up the order.
