SA V VI P/CUP GAME 1 2007 + CRICKET CHAT +WA V NS + QL V TA

[NFC]

This is how the side should be - provided all fit & not playing for Australia

Elliot
Deitz
Cosgrove
Lehmann
Ferguson
Adcock
Cleary
Gillespie
Bailey
R. Harris
Tait

Great minds think alike. 11/11.

[heater31]

Why the HECK isn't Deitz in the team?

* Kick out the unbelievably pathetic Manou.
* Is this a charity case? Kick our Jason Borgas now.
* Tell Dan Cullen to go looking for another state.
* Ryan Harris had a very good game with the ball but there is NO way he's an opening bowler.
* Bring back Mark Cleary.
* Sack the coach.

And there we have it, a start of the turnaround.

I think the Borgas boys will be struggling to hold their postions with Lehmann to come back into the side at some stage. Wouldn't mind seeing Callum Ferguson get a gig.
I also agree with putting in Cleary - once Tait comes back though this creates a problem with fitting all in the side, especially since we play two spinners. The obvious solution is to drop one of them - it will be a tough call for the selectors and I have no good reason why either Cullen or Bailey should be dropped, other than right now 2 spinners are excess to requirements.

Callum Ferguson made 5 and 7 in the first round of grade cricket 2 weeks ago why should he be selected XI. This was also against two of his state team-mates in Dizzy and D.Cullen bowling to him, 1st innings dismissal was not even to a 1st class cricketer.

Jason Borgas made 600 odd runs before xmas last season and performed admirably at the end of last season how ever he needs to lift performances if he is to continue to play 1st class cricket

Warriors 9/174. Pommersbatch 83 not out. Rain dance only chance. At least someone around here can play cricket. Go you MIGHTYS.

Fair call Heater.

Based on that knowledge then I would swap Ferguson and J Borgas in that side then.

[Benchwarmer]

WA 9-193 (Pommersbach 102*)

He farmed the strike from the 70s with an injured Ben Edmonson and blasted Casson for successive fours to notch up his debut ton off the last ball of an over.

Two big sixes in the 80s and early 90s!

NSW have been crowding Eddo when he is on strike (8 around the bat when he is facing Casson)

Ferguson is 22 and while he was incredibly pathetic last season, you would assume the only way is up. But maybe you’re right, that kind of form doesn’t exactly warrant selection. But as soon as he starts finding some form get him in because like it or not he is the future.

Quote from "Mal of Down South" (is this SAfooty's very own mal????)

[Benchwarmer]

Eddo out to Thornley from the first ball of the next over. All out for 193.

NSW bay-sterds take six points

Well done, Pommers on his unbeaten hundred!

Not as good as Matty Nicholson's ton, or That Man's ton or Champagne Bollingers MIGHTY hat trick.

Thank you linesmen, thank you ballboys! A MIGHTY win.

yes but there is one slight problem Callum is under double the pressure in grade cricket. one to get his state spot back and two to carry the entire Prospect batting line up as their best bat.

Well done, Pommers on his unbeaten hundred!

Meanwhile, the SACA's are aiming to score 100 between them again soon...

[GWW]

Did Sorrell bring any recruits from the last side he coached??

[knees peterson]

Its easy boys we need to cut back the amount of clubs at district level
and do we really need A,B,C,Ds at district level

[Benchwarmer]

12 is enough clubs for both the SA and WA District competitions, but how do you get turkeys to vote for Christmas?

Agree with your first point but i can't see how your second point makes any sense.

[Killa]

You talk about Manou being keeper but WTF was SACA thinking when appoint Adcock as captain. For my thoughts is that his game was poor by having defensive fields when the spinners on by not creating any pressure on Vic batsman. Cam Borgas has been one our most consistent batsman before injury need to keep him in at 3. So here is my order as follows

1. Elliot
2. D Harris
3. C. Borgas
4. Cosgrove
5. Lehmann
6. Ferguson
7. Deitz
8. Cleary
9. Gillespie
10. Bailey
11. Tait

Harris is a good fielder as well good opener. Also, Cleary is a better player than R Harris in an overall game, basically better batsman and bowler. This team can bat down to 10. I can remember a line up like this couple of years ago when we finished 3rd in Pura Cup. The SA team have big mental issues!!!

[knees peterson]

WTF was SACA thinking when appoint Adcock as captain.

Great call how can u appoint him captian he wasnt even a consistant player in the 11 last year

[mighty_tiger_79]
