Couldn't even reach double figures on hard wicket against the ferocious attack of the Gilbert Valley lads.

Is it something to worry about???

Is it a positive that gets passed 50 so often
Or
Is it a lack of class the enables him to get the big scores unlike the Clarkes, Smith, Hughes did at a similar age at first class level
Or
Is it lack of fitness both physical and mental

If he was peeling off hundreds like shelling peas then he would be playing at the next level....

Totally agree, or is he just one of those "dumb" cricketers?

He puts on 100 partnership with Cosgrove, then when Cozzy gets out he really has to stay there.

What does he do, gets out straight away. He seems to do this often.

He really needs to turn one of these starts into a century very soon.

SA 5/233 [70]
Ludeman 19* [34]
Botha 25*[31]
Head 64[105]

Travis Head
Yes, is frustrating as does not convert half tons
Are we expecting too much from a 20 year old though ?

Probably but at the moment you have other youngsters such as Patterson, Carters, Handscombe, Bancroft, Silk getting big hundreds, previously it was the likes of Ponting, Clarke, Smith, Hughes making 100's at that age

From what I can gather Trav is just as frustrated as we are at this.

I don't know. @Footy Smart would be in the best position to comment


I hope the Big Bash doesn't stuff him up this year like it did last season.

He has the ability. Is it he can't concentrate enough for long enough? Is it physical endurance?

For someone who can bat as well as be does, an average of 29 isn't good enough.

All personal scores against the Redbacks should be divided by 4. To make it fair.
