James Hopes was earmarked for higher honours in
national youth teams, but took a few years to settle once graduating
to the first-class scene. If Shane Watson had returned to Queensland
from Tasmania a year earlier, Hopes could have spent this summer
pushing for a state place rather than impressing the Australia
selectors and earning a one-day tour of New Zealand. A brisk
medium-pacer whose aggressive, exciting batting has been shuffled
around the Queensland top order, Hopes has improved each season,
scoring his first Pura Cup century last year and boosting his
2004-05 average to the mid-40s. A regular sweater in the gym, Hopes
would love to be a professional golfer, but instead drives
powerfully through the covers. Evenly balanced as an allrounder -
both disciplines will need further polish to survive in the
international game - he has made his greatest bowling impact in
domestic one-dayers where his variety and tight final overs have
regularly picked up wickets and saved runs. Only Scott Prestwidge
and Michael Kasprowicz have more one-day victims for Queensland than
Hopes, who made his debut in 2001. Picked for Australia A in
January, he scored 18 as an opener against West Indies and 13 versus
Pakistan, taking a wicket in each game. Helped by Australia's strong
desire for an international allrounder, he was elevated to the
national squad when Watson suffered a side strain, and added another
rung to his representative ladder. He began with Queensland's
Emerging Players as a 13-year-old and played in the state's
under-age sides before progressing to the Australia under-19 team -
he scored 105, 71 and 51 at the 1998 Youth World Cup - and the
Academy
