Have heard that we haved signed a young player with international experience to be captain for next season.

Find it hard to believe at this early stage.

Racking my brian to come up with who it could be?

If you were young with international experience WTF would you come to SA?

Lack of oppertunites maybe?

No name given to me as of yet unfortunately but I believe he's from New Sout Wales and bowls a bit of leg-spin.

His brother plays baseball for the bite so it wouldn't be too much of a surprise.

If Steve Smith is the man then I hope it is written into his contract that he does not bowl under any circumstances :twisted:

Don't mind his batting at First Class level but his bowling is tripe :shock:


I doubt any fringe international Australian player would want to move here. The Adelaide Flat track syndrome will take hold and they won't go anywhere apart from backwards at a great rate of knots...

I will actually stick up for Smith, dont mind him. Takes a fair bit of guts to admit your faults and work out that his bowling wasnt up to standard and he needed to improve his batting. To give up bowling and to concentrate on his batting to an extent where he is now a top 4 batter (even though its a crap NSW side) shows that he has a fair bit of dedication.
I actually think he would go well in SA if he ever chose to come here
