Johan Botha

[Jim05]

South Australian shield side is not going to improve by handing a t20 mercenary the state captaincy. Surely the money Johan is on would have landed us Steve smith or khawaja or someone with a decent first class record

Yep, who cares if he performs in the shorter forms of the game that mean stuff all. We need decent players at shield level and Botha is a hack. To bribe him with the captaincy is a disgrace, would much rather of seen Steve Smith come here
Averaging 1.65 with the bat

So when Lyon is available SA will play 2 off spinners?

Unless there is a bit there for them this is limiting the attack a far bit.

Cant and we just showed that.
This will mean that the AUSTRALIAN test spin bowler will not play FC cricket.....how much worse can we make it for ourselves

just some stats here - if you exclude lyon's test record his first class stats are:

31 wickets, average 51.48, strike rate 92.13 - not very impressive at all

for comparison
dan cullen: 120 wickets, average 44.28, strike rate 81
cullen bailey: 79 wickets, average 49.46, strike rate 79

they all came over cos they werent going to get games at their home state, khawaja and smith could play anywhere

Yeah but a truck of load of money and the opportunity to play on the batting paradise in Adelaide would have to be worth a little.

If we had to get someone from overseas I would have rathered some old fart with a decent county cricket history

There is no use in batting in paradise if none of your team mates can.

Who cares if he can't get wickets for the Jellybacks? As long as he bowls well for the Aussies it's all good.

As does Jack Fingleton, but he was far to classy for WADH shit.

Looking at this photo I assume he has fielded the ball off his own bowling and is throwing it back to the keeper?

Heard that Klinger went over to the fans abusing Botha at the Ryobi Cup game and told them if they didnt stop heckling Botha they could piss off and security would be called.
Poor form if so, the guy is a cheat, faark him off

Get a wicket and shut overloaded up then.

[cheetah]

Botha is a fine cricketer and has that hard nosed approach. We need a bit of mongrel and i think he bring this. just need batsmen 2 stand up more. We have the talent but do we have the application 2 get those big scores.

Brilliant shot mate. Your skills behind the camera are pretty bloody good.

Were they Redback fans?

[RustyCage]

He bowled well last night, a bit unlucky not to get more wickets than he got
