Great work by Snake, now need him to grab a bag this weekend for the Gullies!

He has taken enough wickets this week thanks

[Coach Bombay]

Ok so its safe to say our best three weapons are

George
Putland
Haberfield.

Can we play all three?

Harris
Thornton
Klinger
Cooper
Ferguson
Davey
Obrien
Christian
Haberfield
Putland
George

Thoughts?

[Pidge]

I guess you guys think that Opie's efforts in the first innings were poor. 28 overs 1/41 is outstanding bowling. Similar to what McDonald does for Victoria in the 4 dayers.. and as usual, the wickets came at the other end with Haberfield getting 5. Good partnership bowling.

Let's get them all fit first then worry about getting them in the team.....

Hopefully Delaney stays sound.
If he does he would certainly be a strong consideration.
Fair way to go yet though with match fitness

Partnership bowling is a good thing I agree. I'm not sure we need to play a spinner, but O'Brien is a containing, tight, pressure building bowler, and wickets will fall if a Putland/George type is at the other end, and he can handle himself with the bat.
I don't know anything about Opie, is he a seamer? Can he hold a bat?

Has made a grand total of 7 runs from 3 hits batting 9 or 10 in all forms of cricket for his club Kensington. So I'd suggest he can hold a bat but can't do much after that....

[Media Park]

So as a bowler? What's his story?

Thornton made 232 without a bowler dismissing him.
A few guys havnt done any harm to their chances of playing shield cricket.

Thats the problem - they havent done themselves any harm but it doesnt mean that they're ready.
This competition is still barely above A grade cricket at best.

SA play Tasmania in Hobart from tomorrow

H31, not only that, he has all the shots, spoke to a couple of good judges after his runs against Prospect and they were very impressed. Apparently his facebook status has now changed to batting allrounder after 2 poles on the weekend - sense of humour too.
