1 00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:03,160 Speaker 1: With ASHES spots up for grabs, We're set for some 2 00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:05,880 Speaker 1: of the most important rounds of Sheffield Shield cricket we've 3 00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:10,239 Speaker 1: seen in recent memory. Welcome to Domesticated, a brand new 4 00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:12,960 Speaker 1: Fox Cricket show where we'd be breaking down everything that's 5 00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:15,840 Speaker 1: happening in domestic cricket, what it means for the Australian 6 00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:19,239 Speaker 1: team now and in the future. I'm justin Edwards. Nick 7 00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:20,960 Speaker 1: Savage from Fox Cricket joins me. 8 00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:21,279 Speaker 2: Nick. 9 00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:24,600 Speaker 1: These Shield rounds they are stacked with intrigue, aren't they. 10 00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:26,920 Speaker 3: Oh it's really exciting, isn't It feels like every summer 11 00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:29,880 Speaker 3: now there's one or two test spots up for grabs 12 00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:31,760 Speaker 3: and it's no exception this year as well as an 13 00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:34,720 Speaker 3: ASHES series about seven weeks away and we are looking 14 00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:37,680 Speaker 3: for an opening partner for usbond Kwaja. So yeah, these 15 00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:39,320 Speaker 3: next three or four weeks is going to be absolutely 16 00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:41,080 Speaker 3: massive when it comes to for summer as a whole. 17 00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:43,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, the opening spot is the one that's going to 18 00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:45,279 Speaker 1: be talked about the most. Let's get straight into that 19 00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:49,880 Speaker 1: with our opening contenders. Let's start with the incumbent Sam Constace. 20 00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:53,120 Speaker 1: He looked in all sorts in the West Indies, but 21 00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:56,000 Speaker 1: He's got two hundreds, one in the city country game, 22 00:00:56,120 --> 00:01:00,040 Speaker 1: one for Australia A in recent times, that's a I 23 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,120 Speaker 1: would sign after what was a really poor too of 24 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:02,680 Speaker 1: the West Indies. 25 00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:05,679 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's probably worth acknowledging in that Caribbean tool. All 26 00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:08,800 Speaker 3: the openers struggled Kwaja I think got one score of 27 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:12,200 Speaker 3: above fifty. The West Indies openers certainly struggled as well, 28 00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:15,160 Speaker 3: so that was tough conditions. He's come back, He's taken 29 00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:17,440 Speaker 3: with his stance a little bit and it's currently paid 30 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:18,080 Speaker 3: off pretty well. 31 00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:19,480 Speaker 4: As you mentioned a couple of hundreds. 32 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,240 Speaker 3: That second hundred over in India was a very high 33 00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:24,560 Speaker 3: scoring game and the selectors have said time and time 34 00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:27,319 Speaker 3: again those matches won't be considered when it comes to 35 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:29,960 Speaker 3: Ashes selection. So really all eyes are on Constance come 36 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:33,720 Speaker 3: this weekend. He's over in Perth against a pretty decent 37 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,200 Speaker 3: West Australian pace attack and it really just comes down 38 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,480 Speaker 3: to runs for him. He needs runs to keep that 39 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:40,039 Speaker 3: spot heading into the Sashes series. 40 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think Constas is going to have the 41 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:46,760 Speaker 1: benefit of incumbency that you often see with openers. 42 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:48,840 Speaker 2: He needs to score shield runs. 43 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,600 Speaker 1: He started the summer well, not that any of us 44 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 1: saw those two centuries because the Indian like I don't 45 00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 1: even think Dri McDonald could get a stream of that game. 46 00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,320 Speaker 1: But the thing with Constance is he is so young. 47 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:02,120 Speaker 1: It doesn't have to be this year, it doesn't have 48 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 1: to be in two years time. He could not play 49 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 1: for Australia for another five years and then come back 50 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 1: into the team at twenty four and play for ten 51 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:08,520 Speaker 1: more years. 52 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,200 Speaker 2: He's still so. I think he turns twenty this week. 53 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, he's still a teenager. 54 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,120 Speaker 3: He look at all the great players who were dropped 55 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,519 Speaker 3: alow in their career and came back much better for it. 56 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:18,920 Speaker 3: I mean, you don't have to look much further than 57 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,639 Speaker 3: Usman Kwaja. He was in an outlet side for years 58 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 3: and it wasn't until the previous Ashes series in Australia 59 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 3: that he finally cemented that spot. And look, Constase, he's 60 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,720 Speaker 3: got pizza time to keep developing his game. I think 61 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 3: he's still actually going to get physically stronger as well. 62 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 3: Over the next few years. He'll tinker and improve. And 63 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 3: he only has three first class hundreds to his name. 64 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,680 Speaker 3: He's still very early on. And if he comes against 65 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:42,639 Speaker 3: Joffra Archer Mark with the som I've got no doubt 66 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:44,920 Speaker 3: he'd do a decent job, but it's just an exciting 67 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:46,960 Speaker 3: prospect moving forward. There are a lot of young players 68 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 3: in this domestic setup at the moment, who played in 69 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:51,639 Speaker 3: that Under nineteen World Cup last year, who were already 70 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 3: showing their worthy of higher honors at some stage. 71 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:56,520 Speaker 1: All right, let's move to the let's stay with New 72 00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 1: South Wales moved to the other end of the age spectrum. 73 00:02:58,760 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 2: Curtis Patterson. 74 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 1: He's had a renaissance in the last year or so 75 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:04,360 Speaker 1: after he was out of the New South Wales team 76 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:05,040 Speaker 1: for a little bit. 77 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:06,119 Speaker 2: Is he in the frame do you think? 78 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:09,079 Speaker 3: No? Certainly, as you said twelve months ago, he wasn't 79 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 3: in the side, came back and was finished the season 80 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,519 Speaker 3: as the Blues highest run scorer, mostly batting at number 81 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,680 Speaker 3: three though, which I think is probably worth acknowledging that 82 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 3: number three spot in this shame side isn't lockdown just yet. Obviously, 83 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 3: Cameron Green is the income, but he's probably a good 84 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,920 Speaker 3: chance of taking that number three spot again. But if 85 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:29,239 Speaker 3: they're looking at a new change for the first change spot, 86 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,000 Speaker 3: Pattison's definitely worth a shout. He got one hundred in 87 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 3: the One Day Cup opener last week against South Australia 88 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 3: and he's just at the peak of his powers at 89 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 3: the moment. 90 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 4: He's never been batting better in his life. 91 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 3: And the new South Wales coach Greg Sheppard did say 92 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 3: that he could open in Test cricket if needed. He 93 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 3: has the makings of a Test opener, so he's definitely 94 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 3: an option. 95 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, that number three spot. It sort of comes down 96 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 1: to whether it's grain or webster rather than green and Webster. 97 00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 1: We'll have to see whether that plays out for Australia. 98 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 1: Let's go to Queensland. Manus Labashane. He's another that could 99 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 1: open or be batting three. Got some runs in the 100 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 1: One Day Cup though, which is a good sign after 101 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 1: a lean run. 102 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, incredible. 103 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 3: He batted superbly that day and a lot more attacking 104 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 3: he after a slow slide. He was batting it over 105 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 3: run a ball which we haven't typically seen from him, 106 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,600 Speaker 3: so that was really exciting. But yeah, obviously he missed 107 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:20,840 Speaker 3: out of that West Indies tour. He was running drinks 108 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 3: throughout then, but he's someone who could certainly open. 109 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 4: He tried it in the World Test Championship final Nay. 110 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 3: Then a couple of years ago he said in the 111 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,119 Speaker 3: media that he had opening itis. He was really against 112 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,280 Speaker 3: the idea of it. But now he may not have 113 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,360 Speaker 3: that choice. It may be a matter of if you 114 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,760 Speaker 3: want to play for Australia, opening is the only vacancy 115 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,360 Speaker 3: there for you. And if Australia goes down this policy 116 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 3: of the six best batters in the country ignoring roles, 117 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,800 Speaker 3: then he probably is in that best six batters. He 118 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,600 Speaker 3: has twelve Test hundreds. He has so much experience under 119 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:50,480 Speaker 3: his belt. He was the number one Test batter in 120 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 3: the world only a few years ago. So it might 121 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 3: be a matter of him and Queensland team at Kuwaja 122 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:55,239 Speaker 3: opening the batting. 123 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what's Manus Labashane's advantage. That's what's going to 124 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 1: be on his side is the experience that he has, 125 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 1: Like he faced Jo for Archer six years ago when 126 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 1: Sam Constas was thirteen. Like, he's got multiple Test one hundreds. 127 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,760 Speaker 1: He's probably the safe choice. And I would think if 128 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:14,080 Speaker 1: all of these contenders do about the same, Manus is 129 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,360 Speaker 1: probably where they'll go with because he's a bit more 130 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 1: of a steadier hand. What are Queensland's going to do 131 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 1: with their batting order, because we're talking about Kuwaja and 132 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:26,479 Speaker 1: Labashane is a potential opening combination for Australia, but they're 133 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:28,560 Speaker 1: probably not going to open for Queensland. 134 00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:30,839 Speaker 4: I do really doubt it. I really doubt that Labashete 135 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 4: would open. 136 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,840 Speaker 3: They've got Matthew Renshaw there who opened last summer and 137 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 3: has been a strong opener for about a decade for 138 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,920 Speaker 3: the Bulls. And realistically we're going to see Labashee in 139 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,720 Speaker 3: the middle order Kwaja. He said many times he doesn't 140 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 3: like opening. He basically does it as an obligation to 141 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 3: the Test side. So we'll see them probably yeah, around 142 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:49,120 Speaker 3: three or four. There's a lot of strong batting in 143 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 3: that ball, so I had a lot of experience. But 144 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 3: we'll find out this Saturday what the exact lineup will be. 145 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe the start of last time at Kuwaja wasn't 146 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,480 Speaker 1: even opening for Queensland but opening for Australia. We'll see 147 00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 1: what Queensland do. They play Tasmania at Allan Border Fields. 148 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 1: Let's go to Tasmania. Jake Weatherold, He's the one, probably 149 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:09,360 Speaker 1: the cricketer, the domestic cricketer that's yet to play that 150 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 1: everyone's been talking about for the last six months, Sheffields 151 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:15,040 Speaker 1: Shield leading run scorer. He's not just in the mix, 152 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:16,960 Speaker 1: He's right up there as a big chance to make 153 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:18,360 Speaker 1: a Test Aby this summer. 154 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:21,760 Speaker 3: Especially exciting because I could see him partnering very well 155 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 3: with Kuwaja. You look at some of the great Australian 156 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,919 Speaker 3: opening partnerships. I think of Warner Rogers, there was an 157 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,240 Speaker 3: aggressor and then someone who could soak up the pressure 158 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:33,560 Speaker 3: and bat for long periods. Looking at Kawaja, he's obviously 159 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 3: the latter and weather he was scoring at a strike 160 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:39,040 Speaker 3: rate of the mid to high seventies last summer, and 161 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,279 Speaker 3: compared to the other openers around the country, none of 162 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,919 Speaker 3: them got up above the mid to high fifties in terms. 163 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 4: Of strike rate. 164 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 3: So he's sort of Australia's answer to Ben Ducker. If 165 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 3: they wanted that kind of like for like, he could 166 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:52,440 Speaker 3: absolutely do that. He's very talented through square, so anything 167 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:55,240 Speaker 3: any width he'll smash it through square. And yeah, he's 168 00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:58,040 Speaker 3: the informed domestic batter in the country and so if 169 00:06:58,080 --> 00:06:59,600 Speaker 3: they didn't want a fresh face there, he'd be the 170 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:00,279 Speaker 3: number one pick. 171 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 1: The numbers are compelling for Jake weatherworld nine hundred and 172 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:06,159 Speaker 1: six runs at an average of fifty last Sheffield Shield 173 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,240 Speaker 1: season and then he's backed it up and scored one 174 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:10,840 Speaker 1: hundred and eighty three for Australia A in Darwin his 175 00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:14,240 Speaker 1: three Shield centuries. You mentioned him batting with tempo the strike. 176 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 1: His strike rate was ninety one, seventy three and ninety 177 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 1: two in those three innings and that's that will really 178 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:24,119 Speaker 1: benefit him, especially alongside Kawaju. I think Kwaja is better 179 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 1: when he's got someone like that who can tick over 180 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 1: the strike at the other end. His best results as 181 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 1: an opener have come with either Travis Head or David 182 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 1: Warner at the other end. 183 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 2: Oh, exactly right. 184 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 3: I mean you look at all the openers who have 185 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 3: come in cycled since David Warner's retirement. There hasn't really 186 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:40,480 Speaker 3: been that great fit yet because he's been parted with 187 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 3: people like manus Lavishe in the World Test Championship final. 188 00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 3: In that match, in the first innings they've got about 189 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,040 Speaker 3: ten runs from the first ten overs and looking what 190 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:51,360 Speaker 3: Baswall is going to be doing this summer, England will 191 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,560 Speaker 3: be already at fifty at that stage. So Australia I 192 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,560 Speaker 3: think does work better when they have obviously a left handed, 193 00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 3: right handed option as well. Jake Weatherworld is left handed, 194 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 3: but an aggressor and someone to so got the pressure 195 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 3: is certainly ideal. 196 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:05,800 Speaker 1: I don't buy into the uneda left or right handed. 197 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 1: Hayden and Langer were both left handed. 198 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:08,560 Speaker 2: That worked out. 199 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 1: Okay, let's go South Australia defending champions broke this long 200 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,440 Speaker 1: drought in the Sheffield should last year in no small 201 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:17,880 Speaker 1: part due to Jason sang up great innings in the 202 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:19,680 Speaker 1: Sheffield she would finally and a great season. 203 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:20,800 Speaker 4: A great story. 204 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 3: I mean, he was out of the new South Wales side, 205 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:25,280 Speaker 3: a former captain of the Blues, had some pretty tough 206 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 3: conversations there and decided to have a bit of a 207 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:30,120 Speaker 3: refresh in South Australia And he wasn't even in that 208 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:30,800 Speaker 3: red back. 209 00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:32,160 Speaker 4: Side at the start of the season. He had to 210 00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:33,400 Speaker 4: fight his way in there through ye. 211 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 2: It wasn't until Headed McSweeney went to the national team. 212 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:35,800 Speaker 4: Run. 213 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, he started in second eleven cricket and then obviously 214 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:39,719 Speaker 3: by the end of the season had three or four 215 00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:41,719 Speaker 3: hundreds to his name, hit the winning runs in the 216 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,560 Speaker 3: Shield final and yeah, has put himself back into that 217 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 3: national conversation. I think the problem with Jason sanger is 218 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,920 Speaker 3: he's probably better suited at a number four and number 219 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:53,040 Speaker 3: five and if we're looking at the Test side, those 220 00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:56,320 Speaker 3: spots are pretty solely Steve Smith's and Travis Heads. So 221 00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:58,400 Speaker 3: right now, at this stage, I don't see him being 222 00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 3: in an ASHES contender massively, but you know, if he 223 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 3: gets runs and forces his way into that Test consens 224 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:06,679 Speaker 3: batches down the door, they'll find a way to fit 225 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:08,720 Speaker 3: him in. I mean they did with Cameron Green a 226 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,280 Speaker 3: couple summers ago, they did with Nathan McSweeney last summer. 227 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 4: Who knows he could open the batting. 228 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 3: I'm not too sure, but it seems unlikely Jason saying 229 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:16,840 Speaker 3: we'll get a Nash score. 230 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, if the number three spot becomes available, that's the 231 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:20,440 Speaker 1: saying is going to be more in the frame for that. 232 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:24,200 Speaker 1: And what he does have though is the most valuable runs, 233 00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 1: which are Sheffield Shield Final runs. In trying to get 234 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 1: a bagg of green, Sheffield Shield final runs are the 235 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 1: most important. Like you know, when you play a video 236 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:33,719 Speaker 1: game and you've got like a you get a two 237 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,400 Speaker 1: times multiplier and everything's worth double. That's what it's like 238 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:38,680 Speaker 1: for a Sheffield Chield Final one hundred and twenty six 239 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,839 Speaker 1: not out. That's when everyone's watching and those I remember 240 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,120 Speaker 1: Commen's debut after he got wickets in a she Would final, 241 00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:46,560 Speaker 1: they fast tracked him straight in the selectors pay attention 242 00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:47,560 Speaker 1: to shield final runs. 243 00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, it seems similar to Brendan Doggett. He had a 244 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,360 Speaker 3: decent summer but then in that final took i think 245 00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:55,199 Speaker 3: twelve wickets to help South Australia win that title, and 246 00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:56,840 Speaker 3: then obviously he got a call up for the World 247 00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:57,800 Speaker 3: Test Championship finals. 248 00:09:57,760 --> 00:09:59,560 Speaker 4: He's absolutely right. People pay attention. 249 00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:02,000 Speaker 3: When you are in a pressure corko, you are on 250 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,679 Speaker 3: the big stage, you can perform for your side. 251 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 4: You know. 252 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:07,640 Speaker 3: Obviously there's no bigger stage than the Ashes, and those 253 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:09,800 Speaker 3: guys have proven that they can step up when needed 254 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:10,600 Speaker 3: in the big game. 255 00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 1: Saying I've got a double hundred in that Australia A 256 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 1: game against against Sri Lanka A in Darwin. I think 257 00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:18,480 Speaker 1: they're about a thousand runs scored for ten wickets in 258 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:20,440 Speaker 1: that game, so pretty flat decks. Not sure how much 259 00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,040 Speaker 1: in to read into that. Let's see with South Australia 260 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,319 Speaker 1: and go to the men who opened the banning for 261 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 1: Australia the start of last summer. Nathan McSweeney well in 262 00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,840 Speaker 1: this situation. Last year he won the equivalent bat off. 263 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,360 Speaker 3: He had a great start with South Australia, got some 264 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:38,079 Speaker 3: decent starts in the Australia A series about ten months ago, 265 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:40,400 Speaker 3: and then got that call up. He'd never opened form 266 00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 3: first class cricket and then the Australian selectors chucked him 267 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,680 Speaker 3: in against Jasper Boomer and obviously didn't. 268 00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:46,559 Speaker 4: Work out terribly well. 269 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,640 Speaker 3: I feel like, similar to Jason saying number three would 270 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:51,560 Speaker 3: probably be that avenue which he could get into the 271 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:54,600 Speaker 3: Test side. I can't see them going back to McSweeney again. 272 00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,280 Speaker 3: That just seems so unlikely considering it was a failure 273 00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:59,440 Speaker 3: twelve months ago. I can't see it being too different 274 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 3: this time. So with the opener, probably unlikely for McSweeney, 275 00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,840 Speaker 3: but still he was in that Test squad for Sholanka 276 00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,439 Speaker 3: a few months ago. He's still a really exciting prospect 277 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:09,079 Speaker 3: for the future. 278 00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:10,040 Speaker 4: In my mind. 279 00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 3: When Steve Sith does decide to hang up the book, 280 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 3: it's probably in a couple of years time, or perhaps 281 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,360 Speaker 3: even sooner, that's where McSweeney will go in. He's a 282 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:18,320 Speaker 3: perfect number four on the Test side in my mind, 283 00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:20,080 Speaker 3: so still a long term prospect. 284 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, I can't see McSweeney being an opener either, but 285 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 1: I do hope it is acknowledged in Australian credit circles 286 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:29,880 Speaker 1: just how difficult a task it was that they asked 287 00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:33,280 Speaker 1: of him to open the batting against Jasper Boomra that 288 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:35,600 Speaker 1: you've never opened before, and also the decks are going 289 00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 1: to be seeming everywhere. So I hope that is considered 290 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:43,800 Speaker 1: by the people in charge as credits in the bank 291 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:47,480 Speaker 1: rather than as deficit, as it's not like you missed 292 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,160 Speaker 1: your opportunity. No, we actually asked you to do something 293 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 1: that's extremely difficult and we're not going to hold it 294 00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:54,200 Speaker 1: against you. I hope that's how they say it. Anyway, 295 00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:58,040 Speaker 1: Let's go to Victoria Campbell Kellaway. There's a lot of 296 00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:00,760 Speaker 1: talk about him. He's young too, he's only twenty two, 297 00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:02,319 Speaker 1: but he's been earmarked for a while. 298 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:05,120 Speaker 3: Well, it was only about ten months ago he was 299 00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:07,560 Speaker 3: told to open the batting for the first time in 300 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:08,360 Speaker 3: a first class game. 301 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:10,480 Speaker 4: He was typically down at three or four, and. 302 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:13,400 Speaker 3: Then just because of a shuffle in the Victorian top order, 303 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:15,640 Speaker 3: he was asked to open at the Gabba, and then 304 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:17,920 Speaker 3: in that same game he got his maiden first class 305 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:21,080 Speaker 3: hundred to help Victoria get a really unlikely win, and 306 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:22,720 Speaker 3: then he flourished as an opener. 307 00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:23,680 Speaker 2: He did really, really well. 308 00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:26,800 Speaker 3: He finished the season as Victoria's leading run scorer and 309 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,160 Speaker 3: he put himself in that national frame. He went to 310 00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:32,560 Speaker 3: Australia a and opened alongside Constance, had a decent first 311 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:34,720 Speaker 3: not got seventy odd, but then struggled for the rest 312 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:37,439 Speaker 3: of the tour. But of course, as we mentioned before, 313 00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:39,760 Speaker 3: those runs are pretty irrelevant when it comes to Ash selection. 314 00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:41,559 Speaker 3: If he can start well in the first two or 315 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:43,840 Speaker 3: three Shield games, he can put his name in the ring. 316 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,320 Speaker 3: It seems unlikely considering he doesn't have a lot of 317 00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:50,199 Speaker 3: experience opening in Red Bull cricket, but an unsiable talent. 318 00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:52,079 Speaker 3: So again someone who maybe in two to three years 319 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:53,240 Speaker 3: time could be right in the frame. 320 00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:54,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, he is young. 321 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 1: He's only twenty two, about to turn twenty three, three 322 00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:00,000 Speaker 1: years older than Sam Constace, so maybe there's a two 323 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,199 Speaker 1: Andrew in there. He opened the batting with Marcus Harris 324 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:03,160 Speaker 1: for Victoria. 325 00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:06,200 Speaker 2: Who would you say is more likely Harris or Kellaway 326 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:07,439 Speaker 2: for that Australian spoot. 327 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:10,360 Speaker 3: I think for this summer Marcus Harris. He has experienced 328 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:13,000 Speaker 3: not just in Test cricket, but he's played into Ashes series. 329 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:15,920 Speaker 3: He's come up against many of these England bowlers before, 330 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:17,680 Speaker 3: and he just got back from England in the County 331 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,600 Speaker 3: Championship where he had a fantastic season. I think he 332 00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:23,800 Speaker 3: averaged in the mid fifties there, and so he's in form. 333 00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,880 Speaker 3: When Steve Smith hurt his thumb during the recent World 334 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:29,880 Speaker 3: Test Championship final, the selectors actually called him up and 335 00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:32,280 Speaker 3: asked him about his whereabouts for that West Indies tour 336 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 3: as a potential replacement in the squad. 337 00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:36,320 Speaker 4: Obviously, Smith recovered. 338 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,320 Speaker 3: In time to come back into that series, but that 339 00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:41,000 Speaker 3: showed that he's still very much in the frame. The 340 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:42,800 Speaker 3: runs he did get in the County Championship were at 341 00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:46,160 Speaker 3: number four, but he is expected to open for Victoria 342 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,600 Speaker 3: this week and in the first few rounds. And yeah, 343 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:50,080 Speaker 3: someone else has been in and out of the side 344 00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 3: for a while. But people probably having the same conversations 345 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:54,160 Speaker 3: about Kwaja Puiso. 346 00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:54,840 Speaker 4: He's too old. 347 00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,640 Speaker 3: He's had his chance, Marcus Harris. I mean, he's still 348 00:13:57,679 --> 00:13:59,840 Speaker 3: got probably four or five years of domestic cricket in him. 349 00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:01,560 Speaker 3: Any chance of playing in this series. 350 00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:05,320 Speaker 1: It is a great comparison, guys, like Harris with Kowaja, 351 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,240 Speaker 1: who's made such a good fist of his return to 352 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:09,800 Speaker 1: the Test team. I am still a team Campbell Kellaway 353 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,400 Speaker 1: though for Victoria at the moment, in a similar mold 354 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:15,560 Speaker 1: to Marcus Harris is Cameron Bancroft. That's very unusual that 355 00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:17,280 Speaker 1: we get to a domestic cricket chat and not talk 356 00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:20,600 Speaker 1: about anybody from WA for this long poor season last year, 357 00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:22,720 Speaker 1: not just for Bancroft but for all of Western Australia, 358 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:24,880 Speaker 1: first time they didn't win make the final in a 359 00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:27,240 Speaker 1: long time. Is the door closed for him or do 360 00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:28,640 Speaker 1: you think there's still an opportunity there. 361 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:30,359 Speaker 4: There's certainly still an opportunity. 362 00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:33,320 Speaker 3: I'd say at this stage twelve months ago, before the 363 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:36,480 Speaker 3: Shield started, he was probably the number one chance. The 364 00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:39,480 Speaker 3: next person in line to open. Steve Smith had indicated 365 00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:40,840 Speaker 3: he's going to go back down to four. There was 366 00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:44,040 Speaker 3: an opener vacancy there. Bangkoft had been the most inform 367 00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:46,120 Speaker 3: open in the country for two years. He'd been the 368 00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:49,000 Speaker 3: leading run scorer twice in the Shield. Recently he just 369 00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 3: had the most untimely, unlucky run of form, about five 370 00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:55,760 Speaker 3: or six single digit scores heading into the first Test. 371 00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:57,400 Speaker 4: He basically batted himself. 372 00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:59,440 Speaker 3: Out of contention and opened the door for McSweeney and 373 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:01,880 Speaker 3: Marcus Harris ask them to take that spot. 374 00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:04,360 Speaker 4: If he starts well here, there's every chance of playing. 375 00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:05,080 Speaker 4: He has experience. 376 00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:07,320 Speaker 3: He also went to the County Championship this year did 377 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:09,640 Speaker 3: very well. He just needs runs. As there's so many 378 00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 3: of the names we've said, he just needs to get 379 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:14,480 Speaker 3: those runs. So I think back to two years ago 380 00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:18,920 Speaker 3: when David Warner retired and there was an opener vacancy there. 381 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:21,720 Speaker 3: In hindsight that probably should have been Bancroft's chance. They 382 00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:24,680 Speaker 3: elevated Steve Smith to make room for Cameron Green. That 383 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:26,880 Speaker 3: didn't last very long and there's just been a merry 384 00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:27,400 Speaker 3: go round of. 385 00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:28,240 Speaker 4: Openers since then. 386 00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:31,640 Speaker 3: So that felt like the lost chance for Bancroft to 387 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:33,000 Speaker 3: kickside his Test career again. 388 00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:36,760 Speaker 1: I don't I have sympathy for the Australian team and 389 00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:38,600 Speaker 1: that's it up. Like I'd try and wedge Cameron Green 390 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:41,120 Speaker 1: into any cricket side act could as well. You get 391 00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:43,480 Speaker 1: the feeling with all of these guys and even the 392 00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:46,360 Speaker 1: guys we haven't mentioned. You get three hundreds in those 393 00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:49,920 Speaker 1: first three Shield games, you're in like it's that open 394 00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:52,720 Speaker 1: for everybody and it is those three shoe guts. So 395 00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:55,680 Speaker 1: last year McSweeney earned his place through an Australia A knock. 396 00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,800 Speaker 1: There's no Australia A game this time. The Australia A 397 00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,800 Speaker 1: played the England lines in a match that runs concurrently 398 00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,720 Speaker 1: with the second Test. So if the guys are doing 399 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:06,240 Speaker 1: no good in the first two tests, that will become 400 00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:09,200 Speaker 1: a really important game. But it's down to the shield games. 401 00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:11,200 Speaker 1: Three shield games. We think three shield games for a 402 00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:12,680 Speaker 1: squad will be picked and then a fourth one as 403 00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:14,280 Speaker 1: well for someone to make a late case. 404 00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:14,960 Speaker 2: Is that what you think. 405 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:16,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, the first three games are going to be crucial. 406 00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:20,240 Speaker 3: As you said on that Lions game we saw last summer, 407 00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:23,320 Speaker 3: the national sectors are willing to make changes mid series 408 00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:25,720 Speaker 3: if needed. They brought constants in for the fourth Test 409 00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:28,000 Speaker 3: match on the back of a great knock in the 410 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:29,240 Speaker 3: Prime Minister's eleven game. 411 00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:30,400 Speaker 4: That was we going got that call up. 412 00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:33,360 Speaker 3: So keep half an eye on that England Lions game 413 00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:35,880 Speaker 3: that's happening during the second Test, because there's every chance 414 00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:37,720 Speaker 3: that someone else can put their hand up. But there 415 00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:39,960 Speaker 3: might be a mid series switch. But yeah, certain in 416 00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,360 Speaker 3: the next few weeks are crucial. I can't remember the 417 00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:44,320 Speaker 3: opening of a sheffild Shield summer. There are going to 418 00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:46,520 Speaker 3: be so many sets of eyes on the scorecards. The 419 00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:49,280 Speaker 3: Cricket dot Com website is going to be getting it's 420 00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:50,400 Speaker 3: money Money's. 421 00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:52,240 Speaker 1: Worth for sure, and the Fox Sports website of course, 422 00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:55,360 Speaker 1: Nick Savage, let's put our money where our mouth is. 423 00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:58,320 Speaker 1: I want your We're going to give our top five. 424 00:16:58,240 --> 00:16:59,840 Speaker 2: Chances for this opening position. 425 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,200 Speaker 1: Who's leading the race or the race hasn't even really 426 00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:05,880 Speaker 1: started yet, sort of like a starting greet in Mosepoort. 427 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:09,240 Speaker 1: Who's qualifying, Give me your number five chance. 428 00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:10,919 Speaker 4: I have got my top five here. 429 00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,840 Speaker 3: I've got Campbell Kellaway at number five, just because of 430 00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:16,439 Speaker 3: the recent form, the runs that he got last summer 431 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:18,639 Speaker 3: and with a night in the future, it's pretty exciting 432 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:19,720 Speaker 3: when his young gun coming through. 433 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:21,920 Speaker 1: I've got a wild cut, a little smoky at number 434 00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:25,119 Speaker 1: five going to South Australia. I agree that McSweeney and 435 00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:27,840 Speaker 1: sang are in middle order options, so I'm going there opener. 436 00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:31,280 Speaker 1: Henry Hunts got three centuries in Shield cricket last year. 437 00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:34,879 Speaker 1: One of those was in pinkball game against Western Australia, 438 00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,680 Speaker 1: which was Lance Morris and Joy Richardson. Shield runs don't 439 00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:40,119 Speaker 1: come much harder than that, putting him in as a 440 00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:41,520 Speaker 1: smoky number four for you. 441 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:45,160 Speaker 3: Marcus Harris, as he spoke about before, he's been around 442 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,560 Speaker 3: the Test side for a while, he's got experience, and yeah, 443 00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:48,320 Speaker 3: he's probably still. 444 00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:48,600 Speaker 4: In the frame. 445 00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:50,680 Speaker 2: I have Sam Constas at four. 446 00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:51,800 Speaker 4: Wow, that's low. 447 00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:54,720 Speaker 1: If it was if you asked me this two weeks ago, 448 00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:56,680 Speaker 1: he wouldn't have been in my top five at all. 449 00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:59,760 Speaker 1: I don't think he just looked so lost in the 450 00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:01,920 Speaker 1: week Stinties. It all looked like it had gone wrong. 451 00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:05,040 Speaker 1: But if he's gone hundred hundred since, but I do 452 00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:08,240 Speaker 1: think he needs the bulk shield runs to earn his 453 00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:09,480 Speaker 1: place back again. 454 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:11,679 Speaker 2: Putting him at four, you're number three. 455 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:13,200 Speaker 3: Well, hopefull one hundred for Constants this week and he 456 00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:14,560 Speaker 3: might crack into your top three. 457 00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:16,560 Speaker 4: I do a Jake Weatherall at number three. 458 00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:19,680 Speaker 3: Such an exciting player and if you can continue the 459 00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:22,680 Speaker 3: high scoring, fast scoring the hure last summer, he's right there. 460 00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:25,440 Speaker 1: I have kempbell Kellaway at three. I'm a big fan 461 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:28,119 Speaker 1: of what he's doing. I think at twenty two, if 462 00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:30,760 Speaker 1: you're looking as a long term prospect, I think it 463 00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:32,399 Speaker 1: could be time. If he puts a couple of hundreds 464 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:34,440 Speaker 1: together and might pull the trigger on him a bit early, 465 00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:35,520 Speaker 1: you're number two. 466 00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,159 Speaker 4: My number two is Sam Conscious, the incumbent. 467 00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:41,480 Speaker 3: He has first class hundreds, he has test experience, and 468 00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:44,400 Speaker 3: he's the star of the future, so he's my number two. 469 00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:47,960 Speaker 1: My number two is Manus Labashane, safe pair of hands. 470 00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:52,480 Speaker 1: See how it goes. If the contenders are pretty even, 471 00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:55,560 Speaker 1: I think they go with Labashane. He's faced these guys before. 472 00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:58,639 Speaker 1: He's the safer option. So that leaves your number one, which. 473 00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:01,800 Speaker 3: Is labushin no, I mean world number one at ten 474 00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:03,760 Speaker 3: or twelve test hundreds, it's pretty hard to. 475 00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:06,200 Speaker 4: Ignore the I mean the resume that he has. 476 00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:09,520 Speaker 3: So yeah, at this stage he's leading, and you know, 477 00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:11,520 Speaker 3: the one day Cup hundred, he looked pretty damn good. 478 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:15,480 Speaker 1: Did my number one? That leaves Jake Weatherold. I think 479 00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:19,400 Speaker 1: the numbers are so compelling. He's thirty years old, which 480 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:21,760 Speaker 1: is potentially the perfect time to slot him in, and 481 00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:23,480 Speaker 1: he could be there for the next five years, same 482 00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:25,800 Speaker 1: age that Mike Cussi was when he made his test debut. 483 00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:30,080 Speaker 1: And if your longer term prospects are not necessarily constans 484 00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:32,840 Speaker 1: in Kellaway, but guys in that age bracket, I think. 485 00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:34,440 Speaker 2: Weather it could be the perfect little. 486 00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:37,280 Speaker 1: Bridge until those guys are absolutely ready and the numbers 487 00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:40,800 Speaker 1: are so compelling so that there are. 488 00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:41,680 Speaker 2: The opening chances. 489 00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:45,600 Speaker 1: Let's talk fast bowlers because I know I constantly get 490 00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:47,640 Speaker 1: us who are the young bowlers coming through for when 491 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:50,880 Speaker 1: these guys retire? And I often say the guys aren't 492 00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:54,000 Speaker 1: retiring yet. Let's settle down who have you got? Because 493 00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:55,840 Speaker 1: I look at Australian cricket at the moment in the 494 00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:58,760 Speaker 1: domestic prospects, and you look at the quicks coming through. 495 00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:03,200 Speaker 1: I'm seeing Lance Morris injured out for the season, Lance Marris, 496 00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:05,960 Speaker 1: Joy Richardson out with the shoulder injury, to a big 497 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:10,119 Speaker 1: batch time, Spencer Johnson back injury, Brendan Doggett hamstring injury, 498 00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:13,520 Speaker 1: Callum Vidler back injury, Mark's decad He's got a hamstring injury. 499 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:15,720 Speaker 2: Is there anybody who have we got? 500 00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:18,720 Speaker 3: It's why there's so much pressure on Hazelwood, Stark and 501 00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:21,760 Speaker 3: bowl and to stay fit. Already the captain is in 502 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,320 Speaker 3: doubt for the whole series. He probably might have to 503 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:27,080 Speaker 3: manage only play three or four games. If another bowler 504 00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:29,760 Speaker 3: goes down, they have to bring someone completely new into 505 00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:31,680 Speaker 3: the four because the Big four have done the job 506 00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:34,959 Speaker 3: so well for based since last Ashes series in Australia. 507 00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:37,359 Speaker 3: We look at who's next. You mentioned there just before 508 00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:39,760 Speaker 3: Brendan Doggett. Now he's missing this first Shield round with 509 00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:41,920 Speaker 3: an injury, but we go back to the World Chess 510 00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:44,480 Speaker 3: Championship Final, he was that reserve quick in the squad. 511 00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:46,760 Speaker 3: He was also sent over to the West Innies before 512 00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:49,520 Speaker 3: suffering another injury. The main thing that's holding him back 513 00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:52,800 Speaker 3: from a potential debut this summer is his own body, 514 00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:55,560 Speaker 3: so he's been so sceptible to injury. He's probably the 515 00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:58,080 Speaker 3: next in line. When Doggett was ruled out that the 516 00:20:58,080 --> 00:20:58,760 Speaker 3: West inn Is, it. 517 00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:00,520 Speaker 4: Was Shawn Abbot who came in for him. 518 00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:03,360 Speaker 3: So the current higherarchy, it seems, would be after Big 519 00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:06,000 Speaker 3: Four Doggett, then Sewn Abbott. Both of them are in 520 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,200 Speaker 3: their early thirties, so he still had that question, PHO. 521 00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:10,320 Speaker 3: With the young guys coming through, a lot of them 522 00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:12,720 Speaker 3: are injured, as you said, But Xavier Bartlett's someone who's 523 00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:15,560 Speaker 3: been really exciting Donewell and fifty over cricket so far 524 00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:18,120 Speaker 3: in his ODI career and has wll on the Sheffield 525 00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:19,800 Speaker 3: Shield for a number of years now and he has 526 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:22,520 Speaker 3: got a contract with Cricket Australia too, so he'd be 527 00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:25,400 Speaker 3: right in the frame and Joy Richardson, Yes, he's out 528 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:27,439 Speaker 3: for at least the first half of the summer, but 529 00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:29,600 Speaker 3: they are pretty confident that he'll be ready for the 530 00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:30,600 Speaker 3: second half of the Ashes. 531 00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:32,480 Speaker 4: Also contact with Cricket Australia. 532 00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:34,199 Speaker 3: I think there's every chance of him coming in for 533 00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:37,360 Speaker 3: maybe the Boxing Day Test if needed, but just think 534 00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:39,280 Speaker 3: has crossed the Big four, can stay fit and do 535 00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:39,720 Speaker 3: the job. 536 00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:42,240 Speaker 1: Probably a big Bash return for Joe Richardson, do we think, 537 00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:44,520 Speaker 1: oh so they prioritize RedBull cricket. 538 00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:46,879 Speaker 3: I think if he is available for that final Shield 539 00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:49,480 Speaker 3: round they would like him to play. But again how 540 00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:51,800 Speaker 3: of them have they rushed him back in only to 541 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:55,120 Speaker 3: damage himself yet again, so potentially big bashes where they're 542 00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:55,680 Speaker 3: eyeing his. 543 00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:56,440 Speaker 4: Return for sure. 544 00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:59,320 Speaker 1: The one quick I'm looking at is Fergus O'Neill. His 545 00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:01,320 Speaker 1: numbers are so I think he's averaging twenty with the 546 00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:03,959 Speaker 1: ball in first class cricket. He gets so many wickets 547 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:07,240 Speaker 1: for Victoria. I think the knock on him is the speed. 548 00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:10,480 Speaker 1: He's probably more a medium pacer than a quick bower. 549 00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:13,240 Speaker 1: But we are seeing in Shield cricket that those guys 550 00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:15,240 Speaker 1: are getting more of the wickets. Joe Parris is the 551 00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,639 Speaker 1: same in wa Bo Webster gets a lot of wickets 552 00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:20,119 Speaker 1: in Shield cricket. Maybe that's just the way the decks are, 553 00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:22,520 Speaker 1: the way the conditions are in Sheeld cricket, and if 554 00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:26,199 Speaker 1: that might not be translatable to Test cricket, maybe not. 555 00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:29,360 Speaker 1: But jeez, fergus is doing so well for Victoria. He's 556 00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:33,880 Speaker 1: getting so many wickets. I'm putting him as somebody I'm 557 00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:36,359 Speaker 1: watching this year with Summer. Are you similar having a 558 00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:38,960 Speaker 1: look at Ferguson he was in your thinking? 559 00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,080 Speaker 3: Yes, certainly. I see him as a like for like 560 00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:43,600 Speaker 3: for Scott Bowland. They've all a similar pace. They're both 561 00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:46,920 Speaker 3: very consistent. They both hit a hard length consistently. And yeah, 562 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:49,680 Speaker 3: I think if there was an opportunity maybe in Brisbane 563 00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:52,479 Speaker 3: with the pink ball, that's when Ferguson Neil could come 564 00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:52,960 Speaker 3: into the frame. 565 00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:54,240 Speaker 4: I don't see him playing in Perth. 566 00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:56,719 Speaker 3: They probably want pace for those sort of pitchers, and 567 00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:59,080 Speaker 3: even in Melbourne obviously he's a solid domestic career so 568 00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:02,320 Speaker 3: far has been Bay in their Melbourne mcgesus imagined a 569 00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:04,640 Speaker 3: debut in front of him Victorian crowd a boxing day 570 00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:05,439 Speaker 3: can go. 571 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:05,720 Speaker 2: Well. 572 00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:08,480 Speaker 1: Just ask Scott Bowland how Victorian debuting on boxing day gates? 573 00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:12,400 Speaker 3: I mean exactly past four years ago, do you so? Yeah, 574 00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:17,040 Speaker 3: Fergus O'Neill incredible talent. I see him as someone for 575 00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 3: the twenty twenty seven Ashes because he went over to 576 00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:22,840 Speaker 3: England to play in the County Championship with nottingham Shire 577 00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:25,520 Speaker 3: and he was phenomenal. He played there for a month, 578 00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:27,440 Speaker 3: he only had a twenty eight day visa, but when 579 00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:29,240 Speaker 3: he left the UK he was the leading. 580 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:31,760 Speaker 4: WICKEDEACA in the competition. He was averaging about fourteen. 581 00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:34,760 Speaker 3: So if it doesn't have this summer, have half an 582 00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:36,560 Speaker 3: hour on twenty twenty seven for Fergus O'Neil. 583 00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:38,040 Speaker 4: I think he could be superb over there. 584 00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:42,399 Speaker 3: You look past Michael Nissa, even Chad Sayers from South Sharea. 585 00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:44,480 Speaker 3: These are players who probably should have played in National 586 00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:46,720 Speaker 3: series over there. They were made to bowl over there 587 00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:49,119 Speaker 3: twenty twenty seven. Ferguson neil, I've got half an eye 588 00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:49,480 Speaker 3: him there. 589 00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:50,959 Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely the bowler. 590 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,040 Speaker 1: I think that people are going to be watching most 591 00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:56,080 Speaker 1: closely this Shefferd's shield around is not really a bowler. 592 00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:58,040 Speaker 1: He's not around her in Cameron Green, we're going to 593 00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:01,040 Speaker 1: be seeing him bowling for the first in a year. 594 00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:04,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly right. He had that injury. 595 00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:06,320 Speaker 3: It was actually doing the white ball tour of the 596 00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:10,399 Speaker 3: UK last winter, missed the whole summer, came back to 597 00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:13,360 Speaker 3: batting for the World Test Championship Final. He improved over 598 00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:15,080 Speaker 3: each of those four Tests with his batting in that 599 00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:16,960 Speaker 3: number three s but he started to settle into it. 600 00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:19,160 Speaker 3: By the end that third Test he was batting superbly. 601 00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:20,760 Speaker 3: I mean he got a fifty in a match when 602 00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:22,520 Speaker 3: the opposition was balled up for twenty seven, so he 603 00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:25,840 Speaker 3: did very well over the West Indies. Can someone bat 604 00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:29,400 Speaker 3: number three and also be the reserve sema like look 605 00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:31,720 Speaker 3: in the past Shane Watson tried it, his body was 606 00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:34,879 Speaker 3: pretty fragile though, couldn't do it successfully. Ben Stokes has 607 00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:37,280 Speaker 3: been batting down at six and seven. He's always breaking 608 00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:39,439 Speaker 3: down and the Cameron Green has already shown it. He's 609 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 3: acceptible to injury. Ideally I still see him as number six, 610 00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,439 Speaker 3: but there's obviously a problem there By Webster is a 611 00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:47,720 Speaker 3: great number six. He's done so on the Test side, 612 00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:50,600 Speaker 3: and it just seems that that situation of does Australia 613 00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:53,040 Speaker 3: pick their best six batters, no matter what, if that 614 00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:55,760 Speaker 3: is the path they're going to go down camer Green 615 00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:57,000 Speaker 3: at three seems to be the only solution. 616 00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:59,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, and when you get if Green starts bowling again, 617 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:02,480 Speaker 1: I hear there's some chatter, oh, Green won't need to 618 00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:04,800 Speaker 1: bowl as much if Webster's in the team. But I 619 00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:08,639 Speaker 1: think there's an understanding that Green is the superior bowler 620 00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:10,760 Speaker 1: to Webster. Certainly, Green's got a five weear haul in 621 00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:13,920 Speaker 1: a Boxing day Test against South Africa by Webster is serviceable, 622 00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:16,520 Speaker 1: but I don't think he's quite that bowler. So let's 623 00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:20,399 Speaker 1: move now to we've each picked one player to watch, Okay, 624 00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:23,760 Speaker 1: one that we haven't mentioned yet, who could contend for 625 00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,320 Speaker 1: national selection, maybe this year, maybe in the years to come. 626 00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:27,359 Speaker 2: Who have you got? 627 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:30,639 Speaker 3: I've got a Victorian and Harry Dixon. So last year 628 00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,200 Speaker 3: at the Under nineteen World Cup, he was Australia's leading 629 00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:36,800 Speaker 3: run scorer, more than Sam Constace. He was superbo there 630 00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:40,040 Speaker 3: and then he made his Shield debut last summer and 631 00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:42,479 Speaker 3: in a very low scoring game Victoria, he scored a 632 00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:45,320 Speaker 3: really gritty sixty odd. No one else in that Victorian side, 633 00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:47,720 Speaker 3: which included Hands Skerm Marcus Harris, no one else got 634 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:50,520 Speaker 3: more than thirty three. So he is a really exciting prospect, 635 00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:53,960 Speaker 3: very aggressive player. He's already drawn comparisons to David Warner. 636 00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:56,160 Speaker 3: I think it was Chris Rodgers who actually said that 637 00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:58,640 Speaker 3: see someone to look forward to massively this summer. He's 638 00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:01,480 Speaker 3: now broken into that. I think that first choice side. 639 00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:03,480 Speaker 3: And I watched him recently in a warm up game 640 00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:05,760 Speaker 3: against New South Wales. He scored one hundred off about 641 00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:09,520 Speaker 3: eighty odd balls and he looked fantastic. He was smoking them. 642 00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:12,280 Speaker 3: He was cricket central. He looked looked like he was 643 00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:14,840 Speaker 3: playing park cricket. So he's my name, Harry Dixon. 644 00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:17,359 Speaker 1: Yeah, comparisons to David Warner are pretty good. And the 645 00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:19,679 Speaker 1: other comparison I'd make and lots of people have made it. 646 00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:22,240 Speaker 1: I'm not claiming credit for this, but when he bats, 647 00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:25,280 Speaker 1: he looks like exactly like suw Marsh. Doesn't he the 648 00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:27,600 Speaker 1: exact same technique, the exact same head over the ball. 649 00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:31,399 Speaker 1: It's uncanny even though he's Yeah, he's nineteen. I'm not 650 00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:33,119 Speaker 1: sure if he grew up watching him or not. But 651 00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:36,720 Speaker 1: it is just incredible how similar they look. My player 652 00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:40,040 Speaker 1: to watch going to Western Australia and the spinner Cory Rocacolie, 653 00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:42,360 Speaker 1: he's been just about the shield. 654 00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:43,600 Speaker 2: He was the shield leading. 655 00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:45,560 Speaker 1: We could take her a couple of seasons ago thirty 656 00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:48,440 Speaker 1: eight wickets last year Ford Shield season as an off spinner. 657 00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:51,680 Speaker 2: I'm looking well, yes, the ashes are just on ourtdoorstep. 658 00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:52,720 Speaker 2: There's a border. 659 00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:55,960 Speaker 1: Gavascar Trophy in India in about fifteen months time, five 660 00:26:56,040 --> 00:27:00,160 Speaker 1: tests and Todd Murphy was just dropped for the last 661 00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:01,800 Speaker 1: in Sri Lanka. So he's not a lot to be 662 00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:04,560 Speaker 1: that second off spinner. Kunman will play as the left armor, 663 00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:07,840 Speaker 1: but I think another big summer from Corey Rocaccoli. He 664 00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:10,399 Speaker 1: books himself a seat on the plane to India for 665 00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:11,400 Speaker 1: next year. 666 00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:15,360 Speaker 3: It's a really exciting battle between between those three Conerman, Rocketcolie. 667 00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:17,720 Speaker 3: If there is an injury this summer, who comes in 668 00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:20,760 Speaker 3: Because I don't know if Kuonman is necessarily in Australia 669 00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:23,080 Speaker 3: the second choice spinner, it might be Rockcoli. 670 00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,439 Speaker 2: He had to move States just to get a shield exactly. 671 00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:28,159 Speaker 3: Swepson was getting picked ahead of him for Queensland. So 672 00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:30,840 Speaker 3: in Australian conditions. I don't know if Cuneman's necessarily that 673 00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:33,600 Speaker 3: number two. I could see England stop Ward actually really 674 00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:36,680 Speaker 3: taking a light him. Rockacoli has been the informed shield 675 00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:40,120 Speaker 3: ball for the last two summers, so yeah, these first 676 00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:42,320 Speaker 3: few rounds are really important for them as well. Todd Murphy, 677 00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:44,760 Speaker 3: as you said, has been dropped, hasn't had the best 678 00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:47,600 Speaker 3: couple of seasons in the Shields, so that's really intriguing 679 00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:48,280 Speaker 3: battle as well. 680 00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:50,600 Speaker 1: So much to look forward to for this round of 681 00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:53,240 Speaker 1: Shield cricket.
