South Australian Cricket general discussion

[Booney]

Still want to know, is Botha here yet?

Lucky you did that, was getting a little bit positive in here for a minute.

Didn't want things to get out of hand mate.

[Brodlach]

If no more recruits, this is how the team could line up:

1. Hughes
2. Klinger
3. Cooper
4. Borgas
5. Stray/Head
6. Christian
7. Botha
8. Davey
9. Putland
10. Lyon
11. George

Leaves Mennie, Richardson, Stray/Head, Doropolous and Smith fighting for spots.

Batting looks better, bowling was ok last year so if they improve again the season looks a little brighter.


Anyone I missed?

Ferguson.

Knew I was missing someone, he would replace Head/Stray

He can slot in for Borgas, highly unlikely to be wearing a red cap with the creams this season.....

Yep, he is goneski!!

[stampy]

didnt know that was happening!, wa have approached both paine and triffit too

[Media Park]

Just saw the news, Ferg being chased by WA, if we lose Ferg and gain Hughes, that's probably a win, but we'd rather have both.

Chuck Berry also said he see's Klinger opening again, who I'd much rather at three, but regardless, it's a solid top, with DC, Ferg (?) Tom Cooper around the traps... Also, have we got a keeper yet??

[Coach Bombay]

To be honest i am not a hughes fan, so if we lose Fergie a born and bread south aussie ill be devo
Cant imagine watching Botha bowling to Fergie and barracking for botha.

[westcoastpanther]

Yep, devo if Ferg goes

[Media Park]

Yep, devo if Ferg goes

$20 says he plays for Aus within twelve months if he moves though.

[Media Park]

Phil Hughes over in England at the moment:
Four One Day matches, two hundreds
Three T20 matches, two fifties
One FC Match, 53 & 22

I dont want him to play for Australia I want him in the redbacks

[drifter]

Pretty sure Ferg wants to stay. just hope he gets a reasonable offer

[tigerpie]

Wierd!!!
We recruit a bloke who cant play the short ball, and potentially lose one who can.
SA needs to do everything possible to keep Ferguson. Everything!

Yeah that damn bouncy Adelaide Oval deck will sort Hughes out!!!

We have picked up a guy who plays very square of the wicket at a ground with the shortest square boundaries in the country.

We dont play every game at Adelaide Oval firstly.
Secondly, i reckon my mum could bounce him out on an Indian dusty flat track.

Having said that, good on the SACA for chasing and catching a decent player, (just so long as the curators prepare low slow decks)

Good sources tell me Ferg is gone, heading west. When you add it all up, we have $1 million to play with. Hughes and Botha would command possibly a third (or more) of that. Klinger, Christian certainly a fair slice as well. Ferg coming off a CA contract would have to be top end, around $150 - I think that is part of the EB (not positive). So we have 5 players that would wipe off around $800k, doesn't leave much for the others, so maybe we could not fit Ferg into cap, given that there are around 10-15 others that must receive at least basic contracts $40k?). Can't believe the posters that have flicked Head out of the team, he recently took 50+ off Mitch Johnson, Cummins and Hastings up in Qld. The kid is an absolute gun and must be played, bat at 6, remember we threw him up to 3 at the end of the season for experience. Head will, if he continues his current development play for Aus, ignore his fielding, that will improve.
