Australian Domestic Cricket

Amazing how similar Starc is to Clark in his action, also a tall bowler, he is just a little more closed off before the delivery stride, where Clark is very front on all the way through. Only bowling mid 130s, but he has done it easy, which is very promising because at 19 he could go a long way.

Cockley also looks very good, still tallish, but a more stocky, bustling and side-on bowler with lot of pace in the arm like Siddle and to some extent, Johnson. However, he's not a lot younger than Siddle, so he might end up a boon asset for NSW, though with the way Australia are getting injuries, you never know.

This is also a big game for all-rounders, with Australia quite keen to find some batsmen who can bowl in an ODI, games at North Sydney like this are very close to international conditions.

Steve Smith still has a long way to go, no surprise there, though not so much for the accuracy, but because it feels like he just lacks bite. He tends to hover around the mid 70s and when he tosses the ball up, it doesn't seem like there's much deception for the batsman.

O'Keefe is an interesting one. For NSW he doesn't seem to have produced much yet, but in various levels, he has suggested a fair bit of all-round talent. With his left-arm orthodox, he definitely has the look of a classic limited overs spinner that is tough to get away.

Katich, of course. Though he has gone for runs, he appeared to make it difficult for the batsmen, especially when they were looking to reverse sweep without reading the turn. Like North the extra value shouldn't be over-looked.
 
Cockley definitely has the quality, has hit the flat, easy paced deck hard and just gotten a little bit extra from it.

Fawcett opens the taps!
 
What was Warner trying to do?
Isn't this a List A match? Can't he tell the difference between T20 and List A?
In other news, Jacques is playing well :D
 
Queensland smashing Tassie right now, Covvy will be loving it.

We've crawled to 150 now. You'll be the one laughing when we bowl you guys out for 100. I dunno why we're not playing Doherty after the two spinners did great in the One Day match.
 
Wow, Phillip Hughes is batting very slow. He had something like six runs after 10 overs.

Always reminds of Siddle, he can go for a few at times but he can have that magic spell where he takes a heap of wickets.

Jaques always bats quick in OD matches. Just for some reason, no one ever rates him in them.

He was rated a few season back but the selectors kept making excuses for not picking him for ODI and his debut ODI knock might have changed the opinion of some.

He played like this last season too, for some he doesn't follow his Test or T20 method.
 
NSW heading towards a comfortable victory, but Haddin just got bowled.

Because in T20, Hughes is aggressive and invents. In Tests bowlers try to get him out so they try things. But in ODI they bowl economical and batsmen dont invent.

Hughes just needs a way to learn how to work the ball around better. So I don't think he is ODI material.

That's the one thing Haddin should work on to get his game to the next level. Steven Smith brought in ahead of Rorher, they really rate his batting.
