If we win a game this season I'll streak down the main road of Berri!

We will win a game this season

When are the Redbacks playing the Adelaide Grade team of the Year???

[Squids]

I am going to ask Chuck for a game tomorrow.

Which grade side are they playing?
Will be lucky to get more than 2 points this season

[Hazbeen]

We are poop, can't see where the improvement will come from.

[runner]

Don’t worry too much about Chuck he only got the job because he was a mate of Cox’s and another puppet for McLachlan to pull the strings, Cox has blamed everyone over the last few years for the lack of success but somehow seems to dodge any blame, if the Redbacks were an AFL team the High Performance would get the chop every time we changed a coach but not hear in SA the good old boys club look after each other and push everyone away from our state that have an voice and won’t be pushed around..(You would think Boof ,Dizzy and Choco, and many more would just laugh at the state of our cricket)
The Board and all Coaching Staff should be Accountable.

Should the curator just produce the greenest pitches ever seen, wetting them just before play and then hope like **** we win the toss and can bowl on a juicy one.

Cant do any worse than we currently are.

Imagine if we'd dropped Ferg, we'd be 7 for 40

And we would be in the exact same position, getting 0(ZERO) points, while Tassie coast to 6 easy ones.

Obviously the bowling performance had zero to do with him, and its great he is top scoring in a first innings even if its still a tiny score. BUT i want change my opinion on the bloke until he can do something in a first innings when there is genuinly points up for grabs.

I am sure that SA cricket needs more than just sacking another coach surely the whole state cricket needs a major overhaul. The one thing I notice is that the district cricket results rareley are batting totals in excess of 300 runs & only a one or two centuries over a 3 or 4 week period The quality of batsmen especially ,is poor no one seems to be able to build innings &partnerships consistantly Coaching is not the only issues the saca has to review NOW

True,.third time in the past five matches he has been top scorer for SA.
Yet he is the one who some are wanting dropped?? Give me a break!!

7 individual tons and 5 team scores of 280 plus in first two rounds of a grade cricket this season and at least 7 90 plus run partnerships. Ferguson, cooper, Harris, dougall all have grade hundreds next to their name

or 3rd time in the last 10 innings then, not quite as impressive

you know its bad when blokes are defending a bloke to the hilt and given the old i told you so when a bloke hits 48!!!!!

geezue if i had been given 5 or more years occasionally i might snick a 48 as well, i mean Mennie scored 70 odd!!!!!

Go the Ferg, South Australias own domestic Steve Smith.

not to mention Kelvs 180 odd Star.....

There is also now no compulsory declarations which will mean larger scores and teams have already batted into the second day.

What happened on day 2
Did the overcast conditions and rain spice up the deck at all ?

[the joker]

Yeah. Rain will cost the tigers all 6 points. But they will send the redbacks back in straight away

Still, that equates to being highest runscorer 30% of the time. With the top six all expected to chip in reasonably equally, that places him well above the average of 17%.

Great stats, however what is the bowling depth like overall currently in Grade Cricket??
Very clear to me that guys like the above mentioned can bully Grade attacks but when required to step up against strong consistent attacks at first class level they struggle repeatedly.
The Grade comp must be reduced to a maximum of 10 teams or even as low as 8 teams so the absolute best 110/88 players are competing each week.
How long will it take for Mclaughlin and his band of puppets to realise this...

[locky801]

Perhaps the snow will save us

So now its the bowlers fault

pretty sure all state contracted/fit players played on the weekend

[scoob]

Come on guys stop blaming the players and the coach for the woeful displays shown over the last year and a bit... it is obviously someone else fault, the players and coach are doing a fantastic job which can be witnessed in the improvement from last year.
