Close one but I reckon Smith as well.
Just has a bit more rounded game. Trav is a boundary hitter.

Im looking forward to seeing more of Smith.
Looks like a potential baggy greener

Heard that Chadd Sayers had further surgery on his ankle, another 4 months out

I understand that Sayers has an excellent record and has great experience, but this might encourage SA to play more youth.

Disappointing, was wondering what was up with him actually as he wouldn't be all that far away from an Ashes call-up considering the injuries to bowlers.
My only concern is that he plays for the redbacks.
I mean developmentally, SACA aren't flush with test players.

Any idea if the Premier League will continue after this season? Given the review of the grade cricket and the likely merger of Prospect and Uni?
Think it will be cut if there is a merger. Reading between the lines it may have been used to force grade clubs hand to reduce the number of teams.

Ferguson is serious form, even if it is in the SACA Premier League. three tons. Hopefully a big season for him.
His time is now - he either takes it or becomes like Butch out of Pulp Fiction

Apparently players are happier with the format of the SACA PL this year, not sure about Nielsen and co. Guess they'll see how their Matador Cup goes before they decide on the future.

No clashes with grade cricket helps I think.
Will be interested to see how the next couple of weekends go. Always seemed to lose a bit of zest after the full Redbacks one day squad disappeared, plus they start freshening people up for Shield games, other players pick up a few niggles and sit out. Last season quite a few B/C Graders were drafted in to fill spots in the last couple of rounds. Great experience for these kids but it means that the standard overall slips significantly. Performances from the better players becomes almost meaningless.

Predicting our first Shield team
1. Cosgrove
2. K Smith (hopefully not Raphael)
3. Ferguson
4. Head
5. Cooper
6. Ross (Smith bats at 6 if Raphael is preferred as an opener and Ross carries the drinks)
7. Ludeman (or anyone else that owns keeping gear)
8. Zampa
9. Mennie (hopefully Putland if fit)
10. Richardson
11. Sayers
1. Cosgrove
2. K Smith (hopefully not Raphael)
3. Ferguson
4. Head

6. Ross (Smith bats at 6 if Raphael is preferred as an opener and Ross carries the drinks)

10. Richardson
11. Sayers

Not sure if Cosgrove will play as apparently there are mandatory fitness requirements. Would be typical SACA to make way for Cosgrove by getting rid of Botha and Klinger only not to play him.

Apparently Cossie has shred a fair few kgs.

Only hope is the pink ball, if we can somehow strategically collapse so they have to bat and night time we might be a chance

I would be playing 2 spinners and finding a way to fit Gregory in at 6/7 and dropping Mennie tbh.

Extremely long tail with Ludeman and Gregory at 6 and 7. Gregory was hopeless in the Matador cup so I can't see any point playing him against an Australian bowling lineup

You do, but he's one of the more promising talents at SA. I think he can make it as a FC cricketer and you should be pumping games into him at the moment IMO. Even if it's against O'Keefe, Starc, Cummins, Hazlewood and Lyon.
