Seems funny that they weren't able to prosper at Sturt but did aok at Uni.
You need to look further afar than the AUCC. Consistent finalists over the last 15 years with 3 A-grade flags to boot. Club Champiosnhip in 01/02.
I have always, and will continue to, get great satisfaction in beating Sturt on the cricket field. Not hard to guess why.
Who exactly are you inferring has prospered at Uni? Adcock hasn't done any better than his early days at Sturt. Players such as King have gone backwards, as have most other who have taken the easy option of a guaranteed spot at Uni rather than working for a spot at Sturt.
Let's talk about University shall we? Since their 1992-93 premiership (the first in 70 years), they have missed the finals no less than 7 times. Consistent finalists? I don't think so. And in the 30 years prior to that, they never made the finals ONCE. Still, not bad for a social club. It's an ideal environment for Slattery. He doesn't have to work very hard, and that's his forte.
I've never particularly enjoyed beating University, because you don't feel as though you've beaten anyone. Enjoy the few years University have left, because hopefully one day soon, the SACA will realise that Uni have contributed nothing to SA cricket and boot them out of the competition.
Hawk, I reckon its the best feeling to beat a bunch of pretenders who think that they are beter than everyone else when clearly they are living off the rejects from other clubs. Also Interesting to note that the Australian selectors have requested that an allrounder spot is found for Nathan Adcock then the request is duly ignored by the SACA.
havent got any spare decent opening batsman lying about the place
