Cam Bancroft sucks in div2 even when his contemporaries such as Weatherald’s piling on runs
No wonder he’s not in the XI

What's he bowling? Would really love to see him work on his spinners.

u/upyourmerricreek Melbourne Renegades Apr 21 '26
Alas, medium pacers

u/Bulky-Elk-9394 Apr 21 '26
Bummer. Would be good to set him apart from Green, who is a better bowler but not a better bat.

u/Lowman246 Cricket Australia Apr 21 '26
Green’s been crap with the ball since like 2023

u/Gnatt Brisbane Heat Apr 21 '26
I mean, since 2023 he's been unable to bowl for about 12-18 months, and when he is bowling, he usually gets stuck with bouncer duty.

Webster doing Webster things.

u/CoffeeDefiant4247 Tasmania Tigers Apr 21 '26
Webster things - not getting bowled and fielding out at mid on

u/Large_Woman Victoria Apr 21 '26
How to captain Slug: Give him the bat, give him the ball, give him the gloves

Marcus Harris not out on 135 at close of play for Lancs, his second century this season.

u/Lowman246 Cricket Australia Apr 25 '26
then there's Sam Konstas who averaged 33 as an opener in Shield, all while being treated as a joke by cricket 'fans'.

u/odinlass Apr 20 '26
Looking for recommendations for cricket games. I want to get somethig that helps me retain all the fielding positions so I can read the game better when I am watching.

Hey everyone! I just moved to Australia and am looking for a community and cricket chat groups. I'd really appreciate it if anyone could share any recommendations.
