[bloods08]

Peter George has been called up as cover for Ryan Harris as he battles injury. It is for the first test only. Good reward for an excellent season.

Good news and even though I don't give a lot of praise to the NSW players, I wouldn't have complained if they'd gone for Copeland as a smokie as he's impressed in his first four or five games but well done to George and hopefully he can get a run.

It just good for him to be over there with the team. i'm stoked for him. Good job.

wow thats great news in an otherwise bleak SA summer! well done to him, must say bit suprised..

this boy was spotted in the nets by our very own MAL

i vividly remember a hot wednesday arvo net session

he was bowling to Hussey and we including Huss were extremely impressed, but had no clue who he was.

Mal asked the question here and his identity was revealed..........

geez Mal can really spot em

[Ron Burgundy]

you better wipe that stuff off your chin

[Lightning McQueen]

I wonder if they send Cutting over after the shield final? He would have to be next in line I'd imagine.

Good Question Lightning
I wonder which of the 2 would have gone had QL not been in the SS final

CUTTING
36 WICKETS 22-08

GEORGE
28 WICKETS 31-93

The stats are overwhelmingly in favour of CUTTING [those stats I assume are right]
But as the greast ROD ROOSTER has said in the past,stats are not always a good guide

I think both players performed similarly
CUTTING has the opportunity to play 5 games at the Gabba and 1 at Adelaide Road Oval
GEORGE the opposite, and Georges job infinitely harder to get an average closer to 20
There is almost a 10 run average difference but I think there about even

GEORGE is prob the better bowler
CUTTING a superior batsman and is a good outfielder

And yes I did spot GEORGE in the nets at Adelaide Oval and was very impressed a few years ago
I predicted on SAFOOTY that he would be a big name talent when he was a grade cricketer

GEORGE will be thrilled to be in NZ but apparently will miss the District Grand Final this weekend[and the election ...]

PS
I cant resist
Congrats to the SA selectors who dropped GEORGE from our Franger Cup team earlier this year
He was dropped after his amazing 0/16 off 10 0vers ....
Whatever happened to persisting with potential

Mal he will be missing the grade semi final against sturt this weekend.

cutting has 45 @ 21
george has 36 @30

it is easier for cutting to average less but easier for george to get more wickets as for queensland cutting has 2 other bowlers in teh top 8 wicket takers for the season (swan & feldman) whereas sa have no other bowlers in the top 10

The updated stats on the 2 have them on similar averages
Good points brought up about easier or not
CUTTING os in an attack that keeps the pressure on more often

Yeah he wizzed a couple past my grill a few times. lent on him through the covers for 4 then next ball he took my off stump out

[overloaded]

Jeez they must be short

[on the rails]

Well I hope he fields better and holds catches than he holds and opens drink containers on an aircraft after he spilt his milk all over himself and me on a recent breakfast flight to Canberra! He looked very "unco"!

[wycbloods]

Jeez they must be short

Well seen as he stands at 200cm(approx) they shouldn't be so short with him there.
