I had my first cricket dream the other night.
I was a batsman for New Zealand (I support Australia, of course, but I was playing for New Zealand in my dream...go figure). I was making my test debut, coming in to bat. I got bowled first ball. Even in my dreams I suck balls at cricket.
In my few months watching cricket, I have found the debuting of a player exciting. I was very excited to see Usman Khawaja bat for the first time. And I'm going to enjoy watching him (hopefully) mature in a great test batsman.
After reading article and looking at the stats of Trent Copeland, I was super excited for him. And Nathan Lyon. And Shaun Marsh. And all 3 have looked more than capable.
Obviously seeing too many players make their debut in a short time wouldn't be that good, but adding new blood into the fold and watching them try and make an impact, and then seeing them succeed, brings a smile to my face.
I look forward to watching Usman, Trent, Nathan, Shaun, and any other player making their way up in the sport. I want to see how Junaid Khan develops for Pakistan. I want to watch Kirk Edwards continue playing for the West Indies. Not really you though, Michael Beer.
