2nd centruy up for khawaja.


looks like nsw have another future aussie star!

 

[aussies1st]

172 not out he could have made a double 100 with his form this season. Will have next season to continue this form then he could find a middle order spot opened by Hussey.

 

[MSIH]

I think Ferguson has the inside running for Hussey's spot.

Can bat though old Usman.

Ferguson and Watson would be the two obvious ones ahead. I rate Osman as an opener though

 

[aussies1st]

As long as Watson bowls then he will be ahead of Ferguson. If not he will definitely be ahead. Pomersbach at 6 could bring the counter attack guy we could use.

Pommers has got to be a bit more consistent, he is too inconsistent to be talking about YET. I do emphasise the word "yet" as I do agree with you longer term, but he scores way too many "nothing scores" at the moment. Watson is your perfect no4/5 really and that is where he will bat long term

 

[aussies1st]

Agree hes been poor consistency wise, hopefully he gets back to his form in the 1st season. If Watson is going in as a batter only he will have to average 50+ in domestic cricket.

Watson will play a similar role to Kallis long term (not as good obviously) as a batsman who bowls 10 overs an innings with the ball. If we get him to bowl 20 odd an innings then he will get injuries.

2/129

 

[aussies1st]

I saw some highlights of Starc. Starc pitches the ball up quite a bit so he probably is a bowler that looks for the swing. Has a pretty good back of the length ball as well which seems to keep the runs down for him.

And now he has taken the 3rd wicket.

 

[Dutchy]

3/173

[Maroon and White]

And Bracken wants to know why he isn't considered for Australia LOL

Maybe bowl NSW to the odd victory might help!
