Cricket: Michael Neser and Scott Boland have ripped through India A, claiming four wickets within the first three overs of the match.
With the MCG pitch tinged with green and a potential debut for Australia on the cards against India, it was scarcely a surprise that Australia A captain Nathan McSweeneyWatch every ball of the Australia A v India A LIVE & ad-break free during play | Day 1 THURS 10:55AM | New to Kayo?Amid confusion surrounding the Indian A batting order — KL Rahul, for instance, had been listed to bat at No.
And teenager Sam Konstas, who is batting at No. 4, can also serve a reminder of his talent at a ground where he batted well in the second innings against Victoria late last month in a Sheffield Shield match.But back to McSweeney, who although out for 14, did display traits that will serve him in good stead if he is preferred as Khawaja’s new partner, as expected.

Boland, whose expertise on the MCG is indisputable, had a target in mind when assessing the India A batting order leading into the summer ahead, identifying KL Rahul as the batter to go after in this match on Tuesday with a view to the Test series. MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA – NOVEMBER 07: KL Rahul of India A walks from the ground after being dismissed by Scott Boland of Australia A during the match between Australia A and India A at Melbourne Cricket Ground on November 07, 2024 in Melbourne, Australia. Neser, meanwhile, must have crossed a black cat or walked under a ladder given the misfortune that befell him after a brilliant start.
But his day — and potentially his hopes of a Test recall this summer — ended when he pulled up short in his 13th over and limped from the field with a left hamstring injury. MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA – NOVEMBER 07: Michael Neser of Australia A celebrates the wicket of Sai Sudharsan of India A during the match between Australia A and India A at Melbourne Cricket Ground on November 07, 2024 in Melbourne, Australia. Speaking of Neser, the injury blow on Thursday is not the only misfortune to befall him, as outstanding a cricketer as he has been.
there is no shortage of talent in Australia capable of having a match-changing impact with both the bat and ball. And on Thursday, Neser and Webster displayed their talents with the red ball. “It was nice to bowl to, I suppose, the lower order after our big boys had done the damage up top,” he said. Webster said earning a ‘Baggy Green’ is something he is aspiring to and feels he is well-prepared for the challenge if called upon.
Among those interviewed in relation to the updated book by John Mulvaney and Rex Harcourt, who are both deceased, was the latter’s grandson Darcy Moore, the Collingwood premiership captain who has excelled at the MCG in winter months. “These bats that my grandfather Rex handmade for me as a kid – this one is dated December, 1999 — so I would have been three-years-old — so I think it is safe to say he was angling to get me into cricket before football,” Moore said.
