Cricketer Of The Year
World Cup year, the contract list is somewhat focused on limited overs cricket. Regardless of personal opinions, I can understand the logic behind it
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+.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 have absolutely no idea why Gannon is still a thing, he's slow and he throws.Qld getting rid of George and Feldman feels like the end of an era. Why Gannon though?
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.Andrews is comfortably better than Pope right now, but you'd think Pope has a much higher ceiling. It's a tough one.
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.Dunno. Overall package perhaps but, in bowling terms, they've both only had one good FC match.

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.Dunno.

Just wondering, where do you think NSW would be best served by batting him?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.
