Just in time, out of the Blue when a lot of our fast bowlers are about to retire shortly, Mahli debuts for Aussie in Perth ODI and kills it. The 21year old takes 6/24 and the way he got those figures was impressive.
This kid who resembles David Hookes to a degree bowls over 140 kms with beautiful line and lenght and is so reminisent of his mentor D K Lillee. Only injury would stop him playing in game 2, tomorrow in Adelaide.
Excited with this bloke.

Rested or managed. So not injured but still not playing.
Poms went crazy ...350+. Looks like we needed him.
The batting order for ODI is shit. We have a top 4 of Head, Marsh, Conolly and Inglis. None off these 4 can face a swinging ball so if there is something there for the bowlers, it is very easy to be 4 down quickly like today. You lose 4 wickets in the powerplay and your odds of winning is slim.
Conolly is so fucking overated. Everytime he bats I cringe. I don't understand how he has scored an ODI century. His technique is so shit. Even we he makes runs he looks shit. He flukes so many runs.
Konstas scored a century in his only one day game this year. If he can be consistent there is role in the ODI team waiting for him.
Need to find a 6 and 7 still. David if he decided to play some one day cricket would be an ideal 7. But doubt he wil. Green needs to work on his SR against spin. Its too low.
Seems the only thing keeping Head at opener is he has radically improved against spin and they want him to open versus India in India? Thus, Head and Renshaw (it seems) to open, with India in mind? Some think the smokey options that could send Head back to #5 are retreads in Konstas or McSweeney, because both are right handers (Kellaway and Patterson are left handers). That is, leave Renshaw at opener and pair him with a right hander, putting Head back to 5.
I wonder if it all mostly depends upon whether Smith moves back to #3? If so, Green would go to #4. If not, a new #3 and Green at 5-6? Do you think Marsh is really a shot for #3? He bats 4 or lower for WA red ball.
I rated Patterson but after that century to start the shield season he hasnt gone on to make another big score. McSweeny & Kellaway could have a future in the test team but to me right now they haven't been scoring enough runs.
Your right about Head opening. Its probably because of India. Konstas struggled in India when they did India A vs Australia A. If you don't play Konstas this summer don't take him to India. Your setting him up for failure then. Let him return to the test team in more favourable conditions for him since he is so young.
I don't get the Cooper Connolly thing either. A HS of 47 from 10x T20 innings (avg 10) and 1x 100+ and 3x 50+ (avg 35) from 17x ODI innings. Test scores 2, 29 and 0. The only thing that must be saving him is that from 8 sheffield shield matches in three seasons, he has 7 half centuries from 15x innings. They must be extrapolating from there to 'top order', even though he bats middle order for WA.
Connolly is what cricket Australia tried to make Cam Green into. Green is slowly reaching where he should be but Connolly is being made into the it thing at a young age when there are much better all-rounders to pick from in Shield.
