SA Footy

Does Spelly have a list for SANFL players who have played state or A Grade district cricket (or a similar level eg U/19s for Australia)?

Off the top of my head, the likes of Craig Bradley (definitely I'm sure); Matthew Bode and Nathan Bassett were more than handy with a cricket bat. I know there are others who just escape my thinking at present but would love to see "the list".

KG umpired SANFL and played for the State cricket team.

Can anyone else help out?

Gil Langley, Barrie Robran, Victor Richardson, George Giffen?? David Marshall, Simon Angove, Jack Halbert, James Pyke off the top of my head

Jamie Mcphee was in the paper today in relation to a business merger, hes one.

James Pyke.

I think Barrie Robran did, maybe Lindsay Head as well.

A lot of others, who will no doubt be added on here.

am pretty sure Roy Laird played for aussie U/19's

I didn't realise David Marshall played cricket at a reasonable level Tassie, presumably was in the early 80's (in his earlier days before he concentrated on footy).

Lindsay Head & Barrie Robran both played cricket for SA.
In the early 1900's Clem Hill & Jack "Dinny" Reedman played cricket for SA and Australia and football for South Adelaide.
Simon Goodwin played for the Aust u19's cricket team as well.

I think Shannon Hurn might have had representative honors in cricket as a junior as well before concentrating on footy.

Craig Bradley..played for both SA & VIC (when he moved to Carlton). Played 4 Sheff games, two for each state !
Also represented Australia in the junior grades.

yeah pretty sure he played As for the seahorses same as Simon Angove...

with MArshall I'm pretty sure it is late 70s early 80s recall reading it in a budget....

Jamie Siddons 2 games for sydney swans in mid eighties i reckon

Correct in 1984 !

This website is invaluable. Type a name in and away you go.....

Captained SA under 15's Cricket and Footy in the same year and certainly played at least 1 season of A grade district cricket, but am unsure of where his cricket took him after that.

SACA gave him a rookie contract to entice him to stay with cricket, he accepted it for one season then promptly chose footy

John Lill, CHF for Norwood and a state Cricket player in the late 1950s I think.

1990 - played his one and only league game against South at Adelaide Oval when D. Jarman kicked 9 on a really wet day.
