CRICKET: The BAGGY GREENS Thread.

[RedVHeartbeat]

This is the thread for the general discussion of all Australian cricket outside of actual international tours..

News out of Cricket Australia HQ is that an Aussie 'A' tour is planned for next year before the away Ashes Tour to England. That is our fringe and next gen cricketers will cross 'the ditch' to the Land of the Long White Cloud to play a series of unofficial Tests against their Kiwi counterparts.

Cool!

Was not sure I'd get a response. Very pleased I did fellars.

Actually @Morgan it is the leg spinners that have all the tricks. Off sinners only spin it the one way.. into the stumps. whereas leg spinners spin it both ways.. that is, away from the stumps and into the stumps.
The latter delivery is called a wrong one or wrong'n as it spins in the opposite direction to the stock leg spinner. You have heard of Shane Warne no doubt.. he was the master of leg spin.. also bowled variations such as the flipper and toppie.

I just wanted to put this here for my own benefit. So I can easily recall the information. Because I know that since Warne, they have been talking and talking about the "next champion leg spinner" which as far as I know, has failed to materialise.

We may have uneathed one.. tho no one will likely never stand side by side with Warnie. His name is Tanveer Sangha, yes of Indian origin (born here). Plays for the NSW Blues. Put him in your little black books.

My little book is red and white. But I did as you suggested. Now we are waiting to see if you are the Nathan Brown of cricket.

I mean, Nathan Brown, IMO is an excellent talent scout. Obviously not such a good head coach.

I don't know much about Cameron Green. Where is he from? How old is he? Is he more a 20-20, one day, test batsman or the complete package?

Anyone else going to stay up to watch game 2 tonight?

Was not worth the effort as rain ruined it. 20 overs are short as it is.. 9 is a torment. India won the second. The final and deciding match starts 11.30 tonite our time.

or the complete package

Cameron is what we call an all rounder RedV01. Equally adept at batting and bowling. The bio said he is like Andrew Flintoff (England) I rate him even better than Freddie.. a genuine all rounder, meaning he has the class to be picked either as a top order batsman or a top order bowler. This category is as scarce which puts Cameron in rarified air..

I now he wasn't technically an all-rounder but Mitchell Johnson could swing a bat quite well.

The Australian domestic red ball season starts October 3. That means games are played over four days as opposed to one day for white ball. You guys are NSW Blues supporters I expect. Want me to post their season squad here.

Yep you have him down pat. Scored some valuable runs for Australia over his career

Of course. Please do and if you can. Speaking for myself, it'd be good if you can tell us a bit about some of the lesser known players. Like the one's who haven't layed for Australia but might do in the not distant future.

No probs.

Third and deciding T20 game tonight.

 

[Morgan]

Finch has had a great career but his time to move on has come. He's outright fat these days as opposed to tubby.

 

[Morgan]

Maxwell and Smith at the crease now. Moving the ball around, looking for the odd singe in T20! Ridiculous.
