Great work by Trav Head who is still eligable for U/17s as well, great to see him get a shot at 19s. He has continued to improve after getting an A grade game or 2 last year. He works hard at his game so good to see him get rewarded.

Also well done to Alex Frick who was playing at Hope Valley 2 seasons ago.

Also great effort by Scotty Aufderheide who was giving us Torrens Valley Cricket Association cricketers a hard time over the past couple of seasons playing with Lobethal. Remember seeing him open the bowling as a 14 year old in a B grade Final and thought this kid is gonna be a decent bowler and perhaps he should have had a crack at grade cricket earlier.

Scott did play 1 year in the Under 14s at Tea Tree Gully. Was disappointed when he didn't return the following year as he showed quite a bit of promise then.

After Ludeman who would be next in line for the keepers spot?

Also why has Chad Sayers never really been given a chance at first class level? His record over the last few years would suggest that he should have at least been close.

Is this the new Merki..
You are starting to actually talk some interesting sense..

Only my opinion of Chad who I think is a great Bowler who can bat a bit too...
I reckon at his size he needs to be a yard quicker than what he is to make the next level.
His record in District cricket over the last couple of years is nothing short of excellent, however sadly this may also be a reflection on the lack of quality batting depth at grade level.

The old chestnut of a reduced team comp to improve depth appears again

Whilst i don't disagree IO with the sentiment of your comment that isn't Chadd's fault, he can only dismiss the batsmen he is playing against and his record over the last few years would suggest to me he is doing something right, and would deserve another go in the second XI at least.

I don't totally disagree, as mentioned initially, it is only my opinion..

Merki, I am with IO, what is going on, won't anyone answer your posts. But seeing you are talking some sense. Sayers had rookie contract with SACA and in the old 2nd 11 games, he took 7 wickets in the last one he played. Then lost his contract and hasn't been thought of since. Was very strange move, given he bowls genuine outswing at around 120-125. I think the selectors see this as the problem, no quite quick enough. Unfortunately with the new U23 format and only allowed 3 overage players, the chances of getting a game are nil for un contracted over 23 players, which is now is. I think from memory his birthday is a few days too early, anything after Sept 1 this year is the line for age. So irrespective of what we think, he will be confined to being an outstanding Grade cricketer.

From what ive been told, Sayers was told he was not tall enough to be a danger in state cricket. Gone are the days of a smart bowler!

Will be interesting to see how far Mick Delaney can go..
Similar in size to Chadd but bowls with some real serious heat.

IO, only seen him bowl once on a very very flat Perti graveyard. Comes with excellent wrap from those in the know at Southern's, they reckon he bowls at 140 at his quickest with good shape.

Anyone less than 6ft should be required to bowl spin

SMG, not sure the late Malcolm Marshall will agree with that one, not sure how tall he was, but certainly not a giant amongst the WIndies pack. Heard Border say a while back, he was the best of the lot he faced - pretty good rap from someone who faced most of them.

But surely with the deadbacks results over the last few seasons being average at best, he would have had a crack. If he plays a couple of first class games and gets belted all over the place so be it, at least he's had a crack.
