    Marnus Labuschagne’s ceiling...

    Yeah, took a man of immense skill and a keen eye to pluck a kid bowling 155kph as a 17 year old out of the entire pool of young players capable of that in world cricket.....

    *Official* New Zealand in Australia 2019/20

    Your only thinking of the bowlers. Kholi averages 36 in England. Smith probably has the best record there since Bradman, he has 6 tons @ 60. Factor in Labuschagnes recent tour and the fact he is going back to Glamorgan again, I think the batting advantage will lie with Australia. Bowling...

    Marnus Labuschagne’s ceiling...

    So we seem to have reached enough of a data sample size that this appears to not be a flash in the pan... 1000+ runs and the leading test run scorer in essentially his first full year in test cricket in 2019, excellent away series in England only bettered by an ATG series from Smith. Follows...

    *Official* New Zealand in Australia 2019/20

    The Labuschagne/Smith combo will be right up there with the great 3 & 4 combo’s in history imo. Has a Dravid/Tendulkar feel about it. The fact that Labuschagne is only 25 is fairly nuts, he’s a 25+ ton player by the end of his career imo. He’s a borderline all-rounder also, he’s going to be...

    Or just wait for India vs Aus, Lords, 2021.

    Wagner is 33 and it’s been 4 years between tours. He will be 37. No chance, if he does he will get feasted on at about 115kph.

    *Official* England in South Africa 2019/20

    And Australia is touring in 14 months with Cummins, Starc, Hazlewood, Pattinson and possibly young Green. It’s conceivable Faf might be done by then as well. They need to get their act together by then or it could be 4-0 whitewash territory.

    Nah. He’s a good player no doubt, but more of a one trick pony. A very effective one trick pony mind you. Hazlewood is getting better and better, he finishes his career better than Wagners imo.

    *Official* England in South Africa 2019/20

    Australia has produced McGrath, Johnson and now Cummins in the last 2 decades. Scattered around that being Gillespie, Lee, Hazlewood, Starc etc with a whole chunk of test quality quicks that barely get a look in like Bichel, Bird etc Even now they would be capable of fielding 2 test sides of...

    Green is a amazing.

    Starc v. Wagner

    Are you taking Pat Cummins into consideration here? As he's been a first change bowler for the majority of his career to date.

    To be fair. Starc now has 238 wickets @ 26.97 ~ SR of 47. Given his GOAT ODI record, it's unsurprising he appears to be the best D/N test bowler in the world so far. He seems to be just about hitting his peak at around 30 years of age. If we play more D/N cricket moving forward, which is...

    *Official* New Zealand in Australia 2019/20

    Everything gone their way? NZ are lucky they didn’t make 600 tbh. How many wickets did they take traditionally behind the bat? Australia got themselves out. Burns - non review Warner - 1/1000 c&b Lauba- bowled around his legs Smith - caught in leg gully Head - caught in cover Starc - Caught...

    Relax. It's not a landslide, but Aus clearly infront at this stage.

    An open apology to Marnus Labuschagne

    Average is now over 60 with 3 x 100's in succession at 25 years of age batting @ no.3 with an away Ashes thrown in there compiling that data. Is he the new Rahul Dravid? His forward defensive position mimics the great mans a lot imo. Looks to have a VERY complete game.

    *Official* New Zealand in Australia 2019/20

    I'm not sure how people are saying this is match is even atm.... Australia still has 2 x recognized bats (in addition to the leading runs scorer in test cricket this year) + Paine and the tail in the shed with 240 on the board and another 40 degree day coming. With NZ also looking a bowler...

    Australian test selection 2019-2020

    It will be interesting to see the media pile on if Green gets another score today, even though he is currently being managed from bowling. He's currently averaging 76 in the shield @ no.6 and it's being left to he and S.Marsh to save the game again today, first match against NZ will be in his...

    Australian Domestic Season 2019/20

    Green is a fairly insane prospect at the moment for Australian cricket. Averaging 40+ with the bat (76 this shield season) at FC level and is arguably one of the best u/21 quicks in the world with 28 wkts @ 21.53 and a SR of 41.3 in his first 11 or so FC games. A long way to go yet, as he's...

    4th Test at Old Trafford, Manchester

    Crickets a funny game, 3 tests ago it was Smith vs the rest in terms of batting, with just Head as a promising young player for Australia. An Archer bouncer later and they have a 24 year old #3 who has averaged 58 in his first away series in England and is averaging 27 with the ball as a part...

    2nd Test, Lord's, London

    As stated above, he has a better FC record than Archer and that's playing in the SS on dry Australian roads in lieu of 2nd division CC. Their ODI records aren't poles apart either, especially as that side of the game favours Archer. Richardson swings the ball both ways and is more akin to...
