What changes does everyone think will happen to their state's squad over the off-season.
For Victoria I think:
Out: Darren Berry (retirement), Will Carr, Michael Klinger, Ian Hewett, Matthew Mott, Nick Jewell
In: Alan Wise (obviously), Aiden Blizzard, Matthew Harrison, Matthew Gale, Josh Mangan, Peter Roach.
I don't really care about the other States ;)

Keep Mott, could be worth trying to fit a Zimbo 'escapee' in there too.

Mott has left to go and be an Assistant Coach for NSW and Captain there second XI, otherwise I would have liked him to stay.
Good idea about trying to get a Zimbo. Buchanan or someone can make way if a decent one becomes available.

I don't believe so, but there is a salary cap limit. ie. Russian mentioned the Victorian cap has been freed up with Elliott & Hodge going on to the Australian payroll.

NSW don't really need anyone in particular. I would rather see youngsters like Aaron Bird get a game, rather than recruit anyone.
Seeing that only Clarke, McGrath, Katich and MacGill might be called up for international duty this year, we've should win next year's comp easy! :)

What I expect, not what I would like
In: Ben Cameron (from rookie), Callum Ferguson (from rookie), Jim Plant, Dan Cullen, another batsman - possibly an import with the locals to get rookie contracts
Out: Shaun Tait (CA contract), Chris Davies (retired), David Fitzgerald, John Davison, Ben Johnson
Although we're supposedly chasing Hauritz for some unfathomable reason

He would have to be better then Davison, Although I never understood how Davison could get a game over Brad Young.
Davison is one of the worst off spinner's in Australian f/c history
Although we're supposedly chasing Hauritz for some unfathomable reason
Because you need another spinner.
You blokes are also after Shannon Tubb. Expect it to happen too.

If Mark Higgs gets another game for SA, I'll put myself up for selection.
Davo is a waste of space on the team, as is the other can't really bat or bowl allrounder Miller.
The top of SA's list is good. Rofe, Blewett, Lehmann and Dizzy when available - and I suspect Lehmann will play not play the ODI in OZ next year and hence be avialable a bit, and Flower -who will surely perform better this year. The young up and comers are also good, Tait, Cameron, Ferguson and Cosgrove. It's the rest who are totally useless. Fitzgerald, Dietz, Higgs, Miller and Davo.
Here's to hoping Dan Cullen can get a game ahead of Davo and whoever else we import. Can play.

He seems to be well and truely out of the selectors plans which is a shame because he can play.
Hopefully another state gives hims a crack if Victoria won't. If not I'm sure he will forever resent Paul Reifel and his stupid declaration in Hobart.

He was 99 not out when Reifel declared wasn't he? How many over were left in the day? I'm sure one more wouldn't have made much of a difference.
Think he was offered a scholarship with Tasmania last year but rejected it due to his studies. Accept it this year Michael!

I deleted the Olonga post because he has problems with his knees and doesn't have the motivation to play first class cricket without the possibility of international selection

He has had long enough in the domestic scene and isn't close to cementing a spot in Pura or ING Cup sides. He has always been good in Grade Cricket, but could never make the transition to First Class.
I think he needs a fresh start elsewhere if he is to live up to his enormous potential. But I wouldn't be devastated to see him back next year.

He hasn't been offered a contract,but he can still play for the 1st XI if needed.

If we're looking at local talent, Luke Williams and Ken Skewes should get a look-in. Williams was an Australian U/19 talent who was starved of opportunities under Chappell, ridiculously couldn't get a game in Tassie and returned to make a stack of runs in A grade this year. Could even fill the opening position if necessary.
Skewer is an up-and-comer who should be locked up (he's from the Territory, so could end up anywhere). He can bat and bowl, just has a lot of polish about his game. Should be at least in each 2nd XI line-up this season.

there's no salary cap.
russian simply meant that because Elliott and Hodge were being paid by CA, Victoria had the finances to bring in a couple more into their squad.
And a state can have as many players in their squad, and pay as much money as they want. (or little)

BTW for NSW:
Out: S. Waugh, S. Bradstreet, P. Maraziatos, M. Slater, M. Waugh, M. Phelps
Possible Outs: D. Nash, G. Lambert.
Ins:
Ed Cowan (Sydney University): 885 runs at 46.57 in 2003/04 Sydney 1st Grade comp. After 1037 runs at 39 in 02/03. He's 22 years old. Gun batsmen.
Jason Kreszja (UTS Balmain): 828 runs at 41.40 in 03/04. 41 wkst at 27.75 as well. NSW Blue member in 02/03, will get recalled.
Steven Phillips (Wests): 693 runs at 38.50 after a big season last season. Has been a NSW rookie in the past. Will get a call up.
Outside of this, there's not many batsmen making a wave but theres a few bowlers (but no more than 2 of these would get a gig and they all have pretty equal credentials):
Paul Byrom (Eastern Suburbs): 47 wkst at 21.38. 25 years old, good quick bowler.
Chris Eve (Northern District): 43 wkst at 18.55. Don't know too much about him but he's been getting wickets year after year.
Anthony Clark (Fairfield): 39 wkts at 22. Off spinner i think - supposed to pretty stock standard though.
Kym Daley (Northern DistricT): 37 wkts at 22.81. NSW under 19 player from a few yers back. Partially deaf, and supposedly very quick.

Reported in todays Mercury Newspaper that Watson will make an announcement today regarding going to Queensland.

Roach and Crossthwaite are more than ample replacement for Chuck Berry (no need for Ryan Campbell) but what i don't understand is how victoria have treated Inness. Obviously they don't want to produce international cricketers, in august last year everybody was calling for Inness to be Australia's premier left-armer before Bracken proved everybody wrong on his trip to india. Now Wise is keeping Inness out of the victorian left arm caper and the guy looks to be off Brad Williams style to WA.

Surely no chance, Roach was named as a batsman along side berry in some games he's that good.
It might have worked for Jon Moss but i don't think Pilon is going to get a look in.

We want Hauritz eh! I'd take him.
Davison promised so much after the 111 in the World Cup but has not played like that ever since.
After coming from Victoria in 2001 after a very poor time... his handy off spinners were good but wasn't an effecitve batter at 8 or 9. Made an 84 in a Pura Cup game and a couple of 50s in the ING Cup games but that's it.

Thanks Homer for the info. That is good news- Watson is young and has great form in both batting and bowling. I am sure he would get even better up north.
SA do need a spinner so it does not surprise me that they are chasing our blokes. I hope they both stay because while the Gabba wicket is not always kind to spin, they got us into the final on the SCG this year and Hauritz got us into the ING final.

From the QLD Bulls:
Off-spinner Nathan Hauritz will remain a XXXX Queensland Bulls player after agreeing to terms with Queensland Cricket for the 2004-05 cricket season.
The Australian One Day player was approached by South Australia during the off-season but has elected to remain a Bull.
The 23-year-old Hauritz said the return of his junior teammate Shane Watson from Tasmania during the off-season had been an influence on his decision, as well as the desire to redress Queensland's two Finals losses last season.
"Watto, Chris Hartley ,Damien MacKenzie, Craig Philipson and I all played in the same junior rep sides together and it's going to be a lot of fun playing in the same team again,'' he said.
"I was happy to meet with South Australia but it didn't take long to decide that my immediate future lies here,'' he said. "We did pretty well to make both the ING and Pura Cup Finals but obviously the results of those games mean there's still room for plenty of improvement.''
The Queensland selectors have rewarded rookie Sandgate-Redcliffe fast bowler Nathan Rimmington with a Bulls contract following impressive performances in the Brisbane XXXX First Grade competition.
Rimmington, 21, was the leading wicket-taker with 49 wickets and won the Peter Burge Medal as the best and fairest first grade player, the second youngest player to do so.
Rimmington was a rookie-contracted player last season but with the departure of pace bowler Steve Magoffin to the Western Warriors, he has been elevated to a full contract.
The selectors opted to contract four rookie players - current Commonwealth Bank Cricket Academy scholars Ryan Broad, Grant Sullivan and Steve Paulsen and opener Nick Kruger.
Kruger, a Bulls contracted player last summer, missed the entire season after having shoulder surgery last year but is expected to make a return to club cricket in October.
Players not awarded contracts for 2004-05 include batsmen Daniel Payne, Stephen Farrell and Brendan Nash and left-arm quick Mitchell Johnson, who is recovering from a back injury.
The only player to retire from last season's squad is Stuart Law, with the record-breaking batsman opting to finish his first class career in England.
Queensland Cricket must lodge its contracts with Cricket Australia by June 8.
2004-05 XXXX Queensland Bulls contracted player list:
Cricket Australia contracts: Matthew Hayden, Michael Kasprowicz, Martin Love, Jimmy Maher, Andrew Symonds, Shane Watson.
Bulls contracts: Andrew Bichel, Scott Brant, Lee Carseldine, Joe Dawes, Chris Hartley, Nathan Hauritz, James Hopes, Shane Jurgensen, Damien MacKenzie, Ashley Noffke, Aaron Nye, Clinton Perren, Craig Philipson, Nathan Rimmington, Wade Seccombe, Chris Simpson.
Qld Rookie contracts: Ryan Broad, Nick Kruger, Grant Sullivan, Steven Paulsen.
* Watson officially signs
* About time Payne and Nash got the punt

Magoffin was rated higher than Edmondson when both were in Queensland. He is very tall, fairly quick & as expected gets plenty of bounce.
It's surprising that Mitchell Johnson hasn't been given a contract. Originally, it was expected that he would have recovered from his latest operation by the start of the season. However it now looks like they don't expect him to play much cricket in 2004/05.
It's good to see Rimmington get a contract. He is a top prospect.

Gilbert asks for more 'imaginative' contracts structure
AAP
May 25, 2004
As New South Wales prepare to make a final offer to Michael Bevan, David Gilbert, the chief executive of their cricket association, warned that players who lost their lucrative national contracts could bypass state cricket and retire unless a more "imaginative" salary structure was introduced.
Gilbert advocated a veteran's clause which would allow states to pay distinguished long-serving players more than the stipulated maximum salary of $90,000. New South Wales is currently battling to retain the services of Bevan, its alltime leading one-day and first-class run-scorer, with Tasmania believed to have made him a superior financial offer. Bevan has yet to commit to play for New South Wales next season after being offered the maximum state contract by them. Tasmania can offer Bevan more money because its package is believed to include the position of second XI coach.
Gilbert, who met Robert Joske, Bevan's manager, on Sunday, said he was awaiting feedback from some of his departments regarding potential appointments which might enable NSW to meet Bevan's financial requirements. "We haven't given up hope at the moment," Gilbert said. "Tasmania, I think by virtue of the fact of what they are offering, seem to have their nose in front."
All states are required to lodge their list of maximum salaried players with Cricket Australia by June 7. The states have an allocation of around $920,000 for player contracts and Gilbert thought that perhaps they should be allowed to decide on how much each individual should be paid rather than be stuck with a maximum figure. "For example, if you've got a Michael Bevan type you might be able to offer $150,000 and that might just mean at the lower end you don't offer as many contracts."
With the big gap between national and state contract salaries, Gilbert was worried that states would find it increasingly difficult to persuade elite players to remain in domestic cricket once they were dropped from the international arena.
"I think once the Shane Warnes and the Glenn McGraths and the Adam Gilchrists and Brett Lees and Ricky Pontings come off national contracts, I think unless we get a bit more imaginative with state payments we are probably just going to have to accept that these guys will quit international and state cricket at the same time."
He said he had already broached the idea of a veteran's clause with Cricket Australia and would like to see it included when a new Memorandum Of Understanding was drawn up prior to the start of the 2005-06 season. "You've got people earning money in the hundreds of thousands of dollars playing for their national team and for them to stay in the game playing state cricket, the rewards are very minor by comparison. We don't want to lose these players straight after they get dropped from the Australian team, because they've still got a lot to offer."
With Victoria refusing permission to talk to its left-arm fast bowler Mathew Inness, Gilbert said New South Wales was not pursuing any other interstate players.

Yes!, Coetzee in! Scarborough boys on the rise! You forgot Langer with a CA contract as well. Not much to say about he others. Ervine will be a great pickup for us. Good to see Henriques getting one for the Mafia.
Can only see WA improving this year, hopefully Clark will be injury free.

I like it.
Only exception is losing Watson but I guess it was always going to happen.
I'll get in early and say Blignaut is overrated. The equal of Denton with the ball and Wright with the bat so it is a slight improvement.

is there a reason why Mike Hussey isn't on that list?

I presume that the reason he's not on the list is because he's on the coaching staff.

Really disappointed to see Liam miss out, i rate him a better player than Joseland and Jewell.
He struggled in District last year (@21), after dominating the year before. He did play a game in Melboune's 2nd XI though he made a big hunge. Just a wake up call to him and all players in the squad
