And there it is. After a nervous stutter at the end, Tea Tree Gully totalled 7/277 to take the flag. Evans 95, Davey 55, and Ben Turley took 5/81 for Woodville.

Fair enough. Not a bad player Borgas.
Mate, please don't get me started. Cam Borgas is a far better player than he has been allowed to be, and should be batting top 3 for the Redbacks. He was going nicely at one stage scoring a couple of 100s at 3, until he won a stupid game of T20 making 31 from 8 balls batting at 8. From that moment on, he was classified a T20 player and couldn't escape the stereotype.
He was beautifully well organised at the crease, played himself in, and when he had the bowlers by the shorts he could smash them all over the ground. An absolute waste of talent, but then again, it's what the Redbacks are famous for.
Never understood that. Sure he was a capable t20 player but he looked ideally suited to four day cricket to me.
It's the SACA
Cricket Australia should really step in and dissolve the SACA and replace everyone with New South Welshmen

Borgas had plenty of chances. Played 30+ shield games, averaged 30.
His brother on the other hand...
His brother on the other hand...
Steve Waugh had plenty of chances. Played 25+ tests, averaged 25.
In comparison with others, Cam didn't get enough chances. His brother Jason played season of Sheffield Shield, and I think he averaged in the 40s as an opener, not a bad effort. Brilliant fieldsman as well. First match of the next season, makes a pair .... career over.
When these guys see players now getting picked for Australia with 1st class averages in the low 40s, they must wonder what's going on.
Precisely. When a player has the ability, you stick by them.

With bat or ball?
Or if they are the best available at the level below you stick with them. This attitude of picking people on potential etc frustrates me. Pick the 11 best performed blokes at the time and if the guys with potential want to get a run then they need to perform at the level below to force their way in
Yep. Jason recently retired. Finished his career as Sturt's greatest ever run scorer, going past Vic Richardson this year.
With the bat

...thanks
The point was that they didn't just carry a batter with a 25 batting average because he had talent
He was also our 5th bowler and taking handy wickets

Had a brilliant temperament for an opening batsman. Could bat for long periods of time, left hander. Through an era we were screaming out for an opener!
Baffling.
Pop quiz... which Borgas brother had the higher batting average? The one given 37 games or the one given 5 games?

I'm guessing the one with 5.
40 wickets at 38.
Useful I guess but he was still carried.
Borgas should have got another run.
