It would appear every team has 3 letters

South Africa are SAF not RSA which I thought they would be
Netheralds = NED
New Zealand = NZL
Sri Lanka = SRL

WA 6/255

Lead by 60

Turner's forth first class hundred and first since November 2017. I was looking at his record yesterday, this is his second match this season, he didn't play a Shield match last season and played two matches in 20/21 and 19/20. He's effectively replaced Mitch Marsh then Stoinis and Darcy Short before that who have batted 6/7 this season. Turner is a very decent player to have on the bench/ in the second eleven.

Victoria in all sorts at 6/94, still trail by 26.

Perhaps the SACA need to ring him

Could captain as well

Averaging 96 in Perth grade cricket and would struggle to make their best team behind Green/MMArsh and maybe Inglis/Stoinis of those not playing in the final.

WA need 91 to win the shield

The South Australian Cricket Association thanks Nick Winter, Bailey Capel and Ryan King for their commitment and dedication to the West End Redbacks, with the trio informed this week that their contracts will not be renewed.

Signed by South Australia in 2013, Winter came from Canberra to have a big impact for a decade as a Redback, both on and off the field, including being the South Australian representee for the Australian Cricketers Association.

Originally debuting in One Day Cup cricket in 2014, Winter then earned a baggy red cap for his First-Class debut in 2017. In all, Winter played 30 matches for South Australia, taking 84 wickets, including four five-wicket hauls and best figures of 5-48.

Signed from West Torrens, Capel debuted for South Australia in the summer of 2021-22, taking the field in the Redbacks final Sheffield Shield game of the season against NSW. Alongside fellow debutants Jordan Buckingham and Thomas Kelly, Capel helped South Australia to a breakthrough victory.

Earning a contract through consistent runs with East Torrens, King joined the Redbacks as a 19-year-old in 2021. Despite not debuting during his time with South Australia, King impressed in his time within the state system and has shown his talent with bat in hand.

SACA General Manager of Cricket Tim Nielsen thanked Winter, Capel and King for their time with South Australia.

“Nick, Bailey and Ryan have all been great members of our squad and we are extremely grateful for their service to South Australian cricket,” Nielsen said.

“While on field performance is of course the ultimate measure for our players and staff, what each individual brings to the team environment is also vital and Nick, Bailey and Ryan have contributed positively during their time at the state level.

“This is always a tough time of year with the playing list undergoing changes, but we are excited about where our squad is placed and look forward to further reinforcing it in the coming months.”

Winter should go to England and play with the Dukes ball.

Well done Tim - get rid of a couple of young local players to make room for some more interstate rejects no doubt!!
Whilst I know King may have been hard work, he's very talented but they don't have the competence to help develop him. An easy out for them. With Capel, it would have been nice if he was given as many chances as others get to prove whether he may have been good enough or not.
Tim - maybe you need to be on the list of departures as well!!

For long we have been saying we have too many district clubs in this state .... WA has 16 and have done the treble 2 years in a row....

NSW have 20 and didn't win a game!

The easy option is to order a review every few years into the amateur organisations that are tasked with identification of talent that are suitable for professional sport. Yet the High Performance department of the professional organisation is Teflon coated.

We all need to say a prayer for him

Imagine having that talent and trusting it with them

On another note, how do you not play a guy in the first 2 games and he ends up second on the shield aggregate in Australia for the season ?

I am not sure this type of mismanagement and lack of ability to identify players competency, can be connected to grade cricket
