Dion Myers is just a phenomenal Talent. And the young man is still in his early twenties. I just seems as if he has been around for a long time. Like the look of Matt Welch. I guessing it wont be long for us to start seeing him national colours.

Curran and Kaitano making this look easy. Mountaineers have not bowled too many probing deliveries though.

Need good pitches in our domestic cricket, happy for them to be fairly flat. Will test the bowlers whilst allowing the batters to score big.

Myers is a dam good player. If zolsky was saying he is better than his contemparies ( Shumba,Madhevere) then he is very much correct on that.

First time for everything I guess

Jeez that was a good pull shot from Curran. Wasn't there to pull. You play that shot and a seamer doesn't know where to bowl next.

I remember Ben Curran set up from a few years ago. Was basically camping right on his stumps so anything missed or swinging in he would be prime LBW candidate.

Can't say I've seen him much past year or so. He is in the runs so it's working whatever he is doing.

I guess we need clarification on what he means by contemporaries. Guys his age? Bennett and Welch Jr will have something to say about that.
If he means fellow batsmen then there's a list of guys that are decent.

Ya he's looking very solid. Every ball he's turning into a non event. I'd try full and a bit wide, see how he goes.
