South Australian Cricket general discussion

What about Muirhead and McGain? HAHAHA Jokes they can **** off for good

Up there with Salpietro...

Spinners don't win t20 games, good spinners do.

[westcoastpanther]

I'd have Putland the first bowler picked all day, for most teams

[Lightning McQueen]

Strikers team, anyone want to have a bash, or fill in the blanks? First two are obvious...
Not sure who else we have.

1.Hughes
2.Klinger
3. Ferguson
4. Pollard
5.McDonald
6. Theo (Someone form the crowd would be more advantageous)
7.
8.Botha
9. Holland
10. Lyon
11.Tait

Edited to include Theo and Ferg, just need a keeper now.
Tait can bowl four quick one over spells.
Lyon/Holland/Botha the spinners (realistically we won't have Lyon often, and likely Putland will play those games).
Pollard and/or McDonald to bowl the remainder depending on the conditions.

Hughes/Pollard/McDonald can all crack a ball, Theo and Ferg on the odd occasion, Klinger is consistent.

Not a bad side shaping up.

Theo did ok in the T20 last year with his late order hitting

[bloods08]

Strikers have just signed Michael Neser and Nathan Reardon.

Bowling looks ok. Batting a tad short but there are plenty off all-rounders.

[Dogwatcher]

And Nathan Reardon.

Which district club did Muirhead play for during his time in Adelaide?

Think it was either Prospect or Uni.

I think people are being a tad harsh on Muirhead. Don't forget he is only 19 and was thrown to the wolves in the T20s last year. He wont be and isn't the only bowler who is going to go for runs in a T20 game.

He is rated very highly by Victoria hence the state contract.

Mate, nerves got the better of him, he bowled more full tosses than balls that hit the turf.

Wait what? SACA unearthed 2 spinners in the same season that couldn't get a ball to land on the deck

Phil Hughes currently second on the limited overs (40 over comp) run scoring in England for Worcestershire with 352 runs (averaging 117), has two hundreds and two fifties.
Leading the t20 run scoring 322 runs at 80, strike rate of 120, has got 3 fifties.
Has scored 206 runs at 41 in the first class comp also,
Really looking forward to this guy playing for us!

Top Player at First Class level but can't sustain it for long periods at International level. I suspect he will be in and out of the National team during his time in SA.

In a cruel way, I will be perfectly happy for him to never touch international cricket again, if he scores mountains of runs with the red helmet on.

Well I don't think he came here for the pride of wearing a red helmet

I know, if his ambition is not to play at the highest level, he shouldn't be putting the white's on at all, but I hope he carves out run scoring records and never gets back to the top.

Wicket to Wicket keeps up the news over the winter and we've added several more yarns, including this ripper video of the demolition of the stands at Adelaide Oval.
