    It's so easy to get caught up in the hype of a young talented player but let him make another 800 runs in shield cricket before we bring him into the Test side. I still think we will roll the dice with him but we shouldn't

      Chadd Sayers gives the selectors a timely reminder of his ability with an 8 for 64 against NSW

      One of Sayers, Nick Winter, Michael Neser , Riley Meredith and Jhye Richardson might force their way into the selection mix this summer

        Re: Sheffield Shield

        Anyone catch Bryce Street hit a century for Queensland?

        He's a great example of the system working. He didn't come through the talent pathways but scored big runs at grade level, did it again in the Futures League (including a triple hundred) and now has a Shield century at 20 years old.

        He's not the prettiest player but he beds in, is super fit and bats time. Renshaw might struggle to get back into that Bulls side.

          I hadn't heard of Street before and it's also the first I had heard of Cameron Green. What a talent he looks to be, the selectors may finally get their wish for an all rounder that actually merits selection .

            Full package but needs to keep himself healthy and be batting top 6. West Aus already have Stoinis, M Marsh, Agar and Cartwright as allrounders, so I do question whether it's the right place for him.

                Withdrawn from the Aus A side actually.

                In better news 17 year old Jake Fraser-McGurk will become the 3rd youngest Victorian first class cricketer of all time.

                  Good first class debut from Will Sutherland today removing both of Queensland's openers.

                    Made 51 in his first innings today, can we put him straight in the test team?

                        The Vics game against WA had to be suspended due to the pitch being unsafe after batsman were being struck with the ball

                        Unreal to think we could have a game at the MCG suspended due to the condition wicket

                              No cricket again at the MCG, perfect conditions and yet the pitch is a midfield

                              Batsman around the country aren't doing a lot to put pressure on the top 6

                                South Australia clutching defeat from the jaws of victory again. If they lose, think this is 19 games without a win...
