Gonna make a bold prediction and say that Sam Konstas will open the batting for Australia in the Champions Trophy with Head.

Australia’s own Bethell, rapid rise to the top and very talented

He’s clearly made a good impression & is well liked by the core of the group.

Sadly haven’t managed to catch much of the South Africa vs Pakistan game. But what a debut from Corbin Bosch.

5-61 in the first innings with the ball, he bowls genuinely quick. 81* off 93 in the second innings with the bat.

Surprised he’s taken this long to play test cricket.

Saim Ayub is a star in the making. His record in the ODI series vs. South Africa was:

235 runs @ 78.33 with 2 centuries and a highest score of 109.

A dynamic opener, classic left-handed elegance thought the covers and can score 360°.

A superb prospect in all 3 formats!

After speaking about Connolly as my one to watch for the Scorchers on my Substack, it was nice to see him performing.

He’s been given a more senior role and stepped up superbly today, with 64 off 51 balls batting 3 and taking 1/18 off 2 obers.

Excited to see how he improves!

I noticed James Rew opened in the England Lions game. This likely means:

1. There were not enough openers on the tour, maybe there are no openers the ECB rate

OR

2. The ECB think Rew's best chance of getting into the test side is as an opener

OR

3. It could be a coincidence

Fergus O’Neill is Notts-bound!

So excited to see him in the County Championship, one of my favourite up and coming bowlers in red ball cricket and a I think certainty to play for Australia one day!

I made a TikTok on him and his profile!

You know what I love about Root, is how every 100 still means so much to him. You can just tell in his celebrations and the grin on his face he loves scoring runs. It’s so good to see!

That is the perfect delivery from Cummins to dismiss Rohit.

Angles in to the India captain, hits the seam and nips away hitting top of off.

Perfect ball, fantastic bowling from the Australian skipper!

What a year of test cricket for Atkinson:

-Test debut at Lords
-Test hundred at Lords scoring 118
-Three 5fers including 7/45
-One 10fer with figures if 12/106
-One hattrick

Superb cricketer, going to be key for England for many years! 🔥

I’m a little late to the party but I wrote a review on the IPL Mega Auction!

I tried a slightly different style of writing for this piece, something more conversational, and I’m happy with how it turned out!

I hope Mahmood can be in a position to go to Australia because:

Atkinson
Potts
Carse
Mahmood
Archer
Wood

Is a really strong quick bowling unit to take down under. Feels like that’s a fast bowling unit that can blow a side out of the water. Exciting

Carse maiden test 5fer, I am absolutely delighted. Phenomenal bowler, glad he’s getting the appreciation he deserves. He’ll be a key figure of this side for the next few years

Been a fan of his for many years domestically, wanted his chance to come at this level and I’m so glad it has. Mint bowler

Harry Brook is just remarkable, one of my favourite players in the world. I look at his test numbers more in depth in this one!

Brook has now passed 2000 runs, his test record including his current score is:

36 innings, 2063 runs @ 60.6 with nine 50s and seven 100s

Obviously his average will drop a bit if he gets out this innings, but he’s just insane. That is some record in such a short space of time.
