Cricket Thread: Twenty20 World Cup

[Redline]

Yeah only just came back from injury and with a few tours coming up and the T20 World Cup in a few months, they would rather keep him fresh.

Probably fair enough in his case but it still surprises me how little Cricket our top players actually play.

Not a player you'd want to move on

 

[hey shorty]

Not a player you'd want to move on

Nope not at all, huge loss.

You'd want to hope we have a good replacement, or Weatherald finds form again.

Kelly plays every game next season you'd hope

Where is Jono Wells off to?

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

No news yet on Langer after an 8 hour board meeting.

Meanwhile a vacancy in England...

A short loss, really

 

[hey shorty]

Where is Jono Wells off to?

Renegades would have plenty of spots for him

 

[Cap]

So their is a shield game coming up Wednesday.

Reckon we might get a win?

Big loss. Below is the contract list. It doesn't include imports or top up players. I assume we will try to sign Kelly, Thortorn and maybe even Hunt.

Signed: Wes Agar, Alex Carey (two), Harry Conway, Ryan Gibson, Harry Nielsen, Matthew Renshaw, Matt Short, Jake Weatherald (three)

Off-contract: Fawad Ahmed, Travis Head, Spencer Johnson, Liam O'Connor, Liam Scott, Peter Siddle, Daniel Worrall

 

[hey shorty]

Sids has mentioned he's going to hang around for another season and then retire.

Head gets a deal to avoid the Steve Smith situation, but the rest...... Maybe Fawad

We are talking about in another 9-10 months right? Surprised so many squad decisions are made so early.

Yeah I think their trade windows and things open pretty early post season.

Langer steps down as coach, effective immediately​

Justin Langer's tenure as coach of Australia's men's team is over after he tendered his resignation this morning

 

[MarcusP2]

Wasn't going to be extended so quit I guess.
