Bit bored so thought I would give my tips on Bradman medal chances from each club .. maybe spark some debate, maybe not.. well here goes anyway :

Adelaide - From last in 2010-11 to outside finals chance with 4 rounds to go.
Sam Raphael - Competition leading run scorer 482runs @53.56 with 3 tons. Also 15 catches & 1 stumping with the gloves.
Blake Lenthall - 4th on the runs talley with 415runs @ 51.88 with 2 tons.
Nathan Job - 17 wickets @ 19.59 from the captain & grade cricket stalwart

Adelaide Uni - Disappointing year from the Blacks sitting bottom with only 1 win back in Round 1 & Englishmen leading the way for them.
Greg Smith - DLCA lad from England, has 381 runs @ 34.64 with 1 hundred
Ed Young - Another English import, taken 18 wickets with his LOS @ 22.56

East Torrens - Just the 2 wins to date for the reds sees them just above the dreaded wooden spoon
Mike Cranmer - The skipper seems to be carrying alot with 233 runs @ 23.30 & 15 wickets @ 24.87

Glenelg - 9th place currently for the Seahorses with 3 wins to date
Joel Garrett - A move from the Stingrays has obviously helped his game, sitting on 354runs @ 50.5 with 1 hundred
Sam Fielding - Had a cracking start to the season, & currently has 20 wickets @ 19.05

.......

[Swervyn]

Sturt - One of the heavyweights, not dominating the season as much as they did last year.. but still look like playing finals & certainly a flag chance
Dylan Thomson - 28 wickets @ 14.21 has him 3rd on the wickets tally with 2 five wicket hauls
Tim Cece - 5th on the wickets list with 21 wickets @ 15.3 including 2 five-fors
Tom Moffat - 366 runs @ 73.2, huge start to the year
Brad Davis - 22 catches & 1 stumping has him atop of the keepers rankings - it helps having Thomson & Cece.

Prospect - A huge year for the Pirates, from perenial cellar dweller to a serious finals contender, sitting 5th currently.
Sam Miller - 364 runs @ 41.5 with 1 hundred from the ACT import
Harry Byrnes-Howe - Leaving Uni & taking the gloves at Prospect, has 343 @ 38.11 with 15 catches & 1 stumping

Southern District - Just the 2 wins for the stingrays this year under skipper Sean Tanner
Lewis Hatchett - The big Enligsh Left arm seamer has taken 20 wickets @ 15 for the year

Woodville - Always strong & this year is no exception - will be tough to beat come finals time.
Aaron Sayers - 396runs @ 39.60 including 125 last round vs TTG
Chadd Sayers - Quieter than previous years, but has still taken 20 wickets @ 13
....

Port Adelaide - Finals in 2010-11 for the Magpies, not this year though which all personnel down the port would be very unhappy about no doubt
Tim Ludeman - 334 runs @ 47.71 including 148 vs Southerns, just the 10 catches behind the stumps

West Torrens - On paper they would be unbackable flag favourites, as they say though games arent won on paper, alot of 1st class experience & even spread among both batsmen & bowlers
Trent Kelly - Leading the wickets with 36 victims @ 13.67, has bowled 193 overs; comfortably the most in the comp
James Smith - 455 runs @ 75.83 including 1 hundred & a handful of 50s. Must have had a crack at Darren Berrys wife earlier this year, how he didnt get a game for the redbacks before christmas is beyond me.

Tea Tree Gully - Gullies sitting mid-table, won the first bit of silver-ware this year with the T20 comp. If they can scrape into finals will be tough.
Tim Davey - Strong year from the little keeper, 3rd on the runs tally with 416 @ 52 with two big hundreds. 10 catches & 3 stumpings... Has he overtaken Ludeman if Croswaite went down injured??
Tim Evans - 404 runs @ 44.89 with 1 hundred & a couple of fifties to go with 14 wickets @ 26.5

.......

Northern Districts - Around the mark again, sitting mid-table currently with faint finals hopes still alive
Ben Wright - 379 runs @ 54.14 with 2 hundreds & 2 fifties.. seriously talented player with a heap of 1st class experience.
Trent Pascoe - 17 wickets @ 16 for the Right arm seamer

Kensington - Reigning premiers seem they will again be around to defend their title, at full strength are extremely strong & can beat anyone
Jamie Panelli - 33 wickets @ 9.64 for the old timer, now taken over 400 A Grade wickets. This season adds another 3 5wicket hauls & 1 10 wicket match haul against the bays. Could play for another 10 years.
Jake Brown - The skipper has had another consistent year with 392 runs @ 39.2 & 15 wickets @ 20.2
Elliot Opie - The big quick has taken 19 wickets @ 12.2 from only 6 games this year.


So there you have it, a bit of a wrap of what I think the best Bradman chances are from each club, the only one I noticed I left out would ossibly ben Kenny Skewes from Woodville...269 runs @ 33 & 20 wickets @ 18.6 - solid season!

For what it is worth, I'll go out on a limb & say S. Raphael will win from Trent Kelly & Tim Evans

Adelaide Uni - Disappointing year from the Blacks sitting bottom with only 1 win back in Round 1 & Englishmen leading the way for them.
Greg Smith - DLCA lad from England, has 381 runs @ 34.64 with 1 hundred
Ed Young - Another English import, taken 18 wickets with his LOS @ 22.56

Unfortunately, the IPL may have a bit of an impact here, with players not available for the final and possibly the semi.

WT made a tough task of chasing 110 today. Cullen and Bourn got the Eagles over the line with the bat after taking 3 each with the ball. Amazing how teams on winning streak find ways to win. WT were 5/26 and 8 for about 60....

Our last recognised batsmen (Carl Mickan) was out with the score on 40. The bowlers did a great job in getting us over the line. Staunton and Sawade bowled for the first 25 overs of our innings and did a great job, with each picking up 4 wickets. The unavailability of Kelvin Smith, James Smith, Callum Ferguson, Adam Crosthwaite and Andrew Haslett always meant that our batting this game was somewhat weakened but all guys who came into the side are capable of great things, just unfortunately not on Saturday!

Cheers
