kittens mauled by virgins

Bangladesh is in Australia.

And so far this is no golden reunion tour for Jamie Siddons.

The kittens have been playing the Australian academy XI.

3 losses and one victory is probably not what you need before playing Australia, even if it's A list players are all having a holiday.

The academy side is a team of youngish blokes who at best are fringe state players, and at worst are under 19 Australian representatives.

Some of these players have already done well domestically with limited opportunities.

Here are there stories...

Matthew Wade (19) Vicâ€" Leap frogged Crosthwaite for Victoria’s keeping job, but his batting fell away at the end of the year and his glove work always made me nervous. Can bat, but is treacle like.

Moises Henriques (21) Nswâ€" Like Shane Watson, only could be the real deal. Already has selectors with erections everywhere. No one can tell if he is a bowler or a batsman, and not in the crap way like most all rounders. Is the 438th New Keith Miller.

Peter Forrest (22) Nsw â€" top order batsman already on the tour for Australia A, I’m not a huge fan, but the right people seem to be.

Theo Doropoulos (23) Wa â€" Hard hitting middle order player who has already made an impact or two at the top level already. Can bowl medium pace as well, but it’s the hitting that people have noticed. Also has a great name for commentators.

Usman Khawaja (21) Nsw â€" Against Victoria in full flight made a 90 odd on debut in a tight contest. So far against Bangladesh he has made them his bitches. Born in Pakistan, raised in Australia.

Liam Davis (24) Wa â€" Made a hundred on debut to stop Douggie Bollinger from a complete decimation of WA this year. Looks like a standard nuggety West Australian type batsman, see Justin Langer, or Greg Shipperd.

Steven Smith (19) Nsw â€" Should be ready to take over from Bryce McGain as Australian leg spinner in 3 years time. Also can bat, in 3 boiwls in the 2020 took 9 wickets. I give him the Jrod early seal of approval, bu reserve the right to revoke at any time.

That is just the players who have played at the top level.

There is also Michael Hill (19), from the northern suburbs of Melbourne.

He has yet to play for Victoria, but is tearing Bangladesh apart at the moment.

And being that he is from the northern suburbs predicting that he will become a champion is a easy prediction.

There are also other players yet to play at the top level, who aren't from the northern suburbs.www.cricketwithballs.com... fighting the war on tony greig
