SA v WA - WACA 10 Feb 2010

[Brodlach]

three of our better players out for ducks (OB,Klinger and Christian) and in total the faced 8 balls

[godoubleblues]

Dan Christian a duck as well
thats 3 ducks out of 5 so far

[Brodlach]

5/98

Smith not out 52...might need him to make 300 for us to win

[westcoastpanther]

6/125

Smith out for 65, he has done well with the chance he has been given

[smithy]

Anyone know who selected that side ?
Surely there is more to choose from in grade cricket.
If not then stop recruiting ageing imports with poor records and get some decent players in.

Not 1 batsman with a 1st class average over 40.
A number 5 who averages 26 after 10 years at shield level...

[Media Park]

Who said Cossie was too fat again?

HABERFIELD 16*[34]
GEORGE 5 *[11]

[DoublebluTiger]

according to cricinfo they've already bowled 90 overs in this innings and so it would be a question of time now and I'm guessing a local finish time of 5.30 pm meaning 8 pm SA time. about 5 minutes then??

Manou is a solid number 7 these days. His average will never reflect it though because his first 50 games he was so ordinary.

O'Brien is so far from a first class 5 it's not funny. I think he's either in for his bowling or not at all. We tried the half a side of all rounders thing with Mark Higgs and Jon Davison back a few years ago. We can manage with Christian at 6 if our number 8 is strong enough. If not, Christian at 7, Manou at 8 and Christian probably has to bowl a bit more.

In the race between 4,5 and 6 against 7,8 and 9 the winner was..... 7,8 and 9 173 to 30 Disgusting. No doubt changes will come. And the selectors will be able to say there aren't too many putting their hand up, coupled with the WC losses of Cooper and Ferguson but a state side just can't manage without more depth than that. But let's stop for a second and think about the batting without Klinger, Blizzard, Christian and O'Brien. Manou would be just about the best home grown bat available right now.

FIX GRADE CRICKET!!!!!! FFS, tear the whole comp apart and start again with 6 or 8 sides. Forget merging etc, just start clubs anew. I realise we'll lose players and people, but in time we'll be better off. The good ones who want to help cricket in the state will stay, while we'll have a more competetive competition that should become more lucritive.
