Flipper resigns

[Adelaide Hawk]

So Marsh is doing a review of everything relating to SA cricket but the selectors get off scott free and are guaranteed to be there next season????

I would hope that they are also subjected to the same review as everybody else but at this stage the selection panel is still the same so therefore there is no room for Blewett in the side

What did the selectors do wrong????? Blewett didn't deserve selection for a start.

As opposed to all the guys who didn't make runs all season? At least Blewett has a proven record.

well lets see.....WE FINISHED BOTTOM!!!!...FFS

Hawk how can you say Blewett didnt deserve selection. Here is a team that is getting bowled out in a day and your telling me that you cant fit a player with international centuries under his belt in the 11. What a joke!!! Fact is when blewett made is debut for SA whose spot did he take? Answer Nobes got dropped to make way for a young blewett. Seems this still cuts deep with Mr Nobes. Flipper has been made the scapegoat for some poor off field decisions including selections. The final straw will be if they strip boof from the captaincy you might as well give us the spoon again. Names such as Adcock and Harris should be worrying about cementing their spot rather than captaining a side.

Okay then Dutchy. Tell us what mistakes they made. Don't just carry on about finishing bottom.

my point is EVERYONE needs to be reviewed...why do the selectors get off scot free?...too bad if we find out they are the cancer after another shocker next year

Conspiracy theories are very entertaining, but the facts are Blewett's from in Grade Cricket this season wasn't as good as any of the players who were picked before him. Some of these players are also 10-12 years younger than Blewett. His international centuries were years ago, you can't consider those when selecting a team. Flipper made international centuries as well, does that mean we should pick him?

Once again, I am asking the question ... "Which mistakes did the selectors make?". The selectors would have looked silly had they have the Pura Cup final, and Blewett decided to go to the West Indies instead, like he has done rather than represent Kensington in the Grade finals. I wouldn't have selected Blewett simply because he didn't deserve to be picked. Maybe if he stayed off the sauce on Friday nights he would have done better.

Let me tell you something about selection of which you may not be aware. Selectors only put forward a team they consider to be the best 12 available. They are merely recommendations, their team still has to be ratified by the powers that be.

Rick Darling resigned last year because he was sick of their selected teams being rejected. I haven't spoken with any of the current selectors but I would bet they are suffering the same fate.

You still won't answer my question, but then again nobody will. I still want to know what mistakes the selectors made.

Mistake No. 1 - Selecting and changing a team every week that finished dead last...

Not playing Bailly and Rofe enough, persisting with Manou and Elliott...etc etc

how can you defend these guys?

playing skewes and james smithm in the one dayers was a mistake- blewett def should have been playing one dayers all season- surely he could have played a role at no 6 or 7 and bowling a few overs.
BTW Hawk before you make big statements like "but the facts are Blewett's from in Grade Cricket this season wasn't as good as any of the players who were picked before him." YOU ARE WRONG .
D Harris, K Skewes, T Plant all had inferior grade seasons- the first 2 by significant margins. For what it's worth I think all three are quality cricketers - but stop making false statements AH- you do it all the time

[Maddogmike]

Over & Out Stumpsie!!!

[Stumps]

Cooooooooooooeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[Maddogmike]

Blewett had a solid grade yr - much better than some they picked ahead of him. I disagree with the long term deal they perhaps gave him, and it is important SA dont go offering more than 2 yr deals to players over 30.

Stumps, welcome to the forum. It will be nice having someone who is actually right all the time, like yourself. How does it feel to be so perfect?

And amazing that I make false statements ALL the time. Sounds like a pretty false statement in itself, wouldn't you say? Just shows what a clown you really are.

Yeah I was thinking that

[Maddogmike]

Dont mind you giving opinions AH - but when you clearly ride the armchair until you give it a punctured tyre, then take an extra few minutes to find out the stats which indicate your statements are less informed than my 5 yr old cousin.
