SA Footy

For too long the opening partnerships have been woeful for SA
2005/2006 opening partnerships were
5-1
1-19
23-25
6
1-23
38-27
6-38
38-1

Those stats belonged to Elliott/Blewett/Cameron/Cosgrove + Dietz
The team then went to Perth 2nd last pura cup game and installed Daniel HARRIS as opener

79 in Perth v WA
64-46 in Adelaide v NSW

Our best 3 partnerships of the year

HARRIS scored 77-25-36 in the following totals.
we scored 405...541....4/115 declared

First Pura cup game this year Eliot injured v NSW
HARRIS scores 53 +9
opening partnerships of 79-17
SA scores 9/399 in the HARRIS 79 innings.
I think he was ommited after that game until the SA V ENG game

v ENG HARRIS got 12 + 71*[2nd dig called off stupidly when a maiden 100 beckoned]

As we can see very good figures for a kid in p/cup + International games.

HARRIS played 2 one day games last year as well
batting at 3 he scored 77[89] v QLD [Attack of Johnson/Kasper/Bichel/Watson/Hopes]
In the final v NSW ON A MINEFIELD EARLY MORNING START he got 22[43] SA all out 154.

His overall figures from those games[I think there his games since late last year]

PC 77-25-36-53-9-12-71*
ing 77-22

Good consistent totals for a kid.

PHILLIPS/NOBES/KELLY the state selectors + coach , hope you take note.

Richard Earle said the same in todays Advertiser about
Manou at 3 Borgas at 7 as posted by MAL as well
Open with Borgas/Harris I reckon.

I have been saying this for a while. Dan Harris has done well playing for the Redbacks, played alright end of last season, what does he have to do?
He also bowled well against the Poms in the tour game!

I also read that article this morning.
Manou: terrible performance with the bat yet again, punishment? First drop.

Borgas: has been hitting it well, is a good young player, single handedly won the opening one dayer of the season, reward? 7th!

Our best team would be in the pura cup
----------------------------------------------

D HARRIS
BORGAS
COSGROVE
LEHMANN
FERGUSON
DIETZ
R HARRIS
GILLESPIE
CULLEN
ROFE
TAIT


Might as well play Ryan Harris as the allrounder who might make as many runs as Elliott.
BAILEY and CLEARY could also be bowling options.

The man is playing and currently 18 off 67 balls!

SA are 0-52

NostraMALdamus has done it again.

DANIEL HARRIS
85
274 MINUTES
197 BALLS
12 FOURS
OPENING PARTNERSHIP 94

THATS OUR HIGHEST OPENING PARTNERSHIP IN THE LAST 2 SEASONS.

PHILLIPS/KELLY/NOBES about time you picked him !

Harris cant play in the team because it upsets the balance of the team!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
