Big call for an 18 year old!
Hopefully he is given a few opportunities to find his feet.
The 19s will be in Perth with the national champs starting next week so given the match is at the WACA, seems to make sense that he's included in the squad to give him some experience. I'd imagine he would then join up with the 19s afterwards (unless he's 12th man he can play in the 19s in round 1 on Monday and they can get one of the other lads who don't play in round 1 to act as 12th on the last day of the shield game).
There seems to be some opinion around that the 19s this year is one of the better teams SA have sent in recent years and hopefully should do quite well.
I wonder how some of the young SA-born players feel with Scott being here for 5 minutes and having the red carpet rolled out? Granted he has performed (and it's not his fault he got picked) but what does it say for some of the locals who have also done well?
I think when he was choosing what state to go after leaving NSW, he was very wise picking SA. Has just gone past all our young batters here. Would be another dozen like him in NSW, so now he becomes a stand out here.
Redbacks dont rate Bosisto so he wont be picked, reckon he is limited to only a couple of scoring shots which in Grade cricket he gets away with, but they only care about Futures/Second X1 games and he has struggled against the better bowling.
