Because that's what Redbacks selectors do.

JFM batting at #6 now. Something definitely needed to be changed as his style is in no way one of an opener, and #6 is the best spot for that.
Problem is, they both get starts and then ignore basic cricket to get out. Brazell should have waited to see if the ball cleared the fielder. He didn't and was run out. McInerney didn't get his foot across to cover the ball down the leg side, waved his bat at it and was caught down the leg side. It's annoying to see first class cricketers who lack basic skills.

Is in now,hopefully JFK produces the goods.
Perfect ball to JFM. Two fielders back on the boundary, Carlisle goes upstairs, the ball above shoulder height, and JFM can't help himself. Hits under the ball, straight to one of the deep fielders. I can't believe how easily he gets sucked in.

He looks like another young player potentially ruined by T20 cricket and perhaps why Victoria cleared him.Hope I am wrong.
I switch on the computer, see the Redbacks are 6/193, two batsmen settled at the crease. I think, good, maybe a rear-guard action here. Go to the fridge for a drink and suddenly we're 8/199 
At least McSweeney's getting a few.

What's happened to McAndrews batting? Has gone from looking like a genuine all rounder to a tail ender

Grade cricket is way too diluted with too many teams, especially given QLD have 12 as opposed to SA's 13. Whatever happened to the Adelaide-Southern Districts merger that was planned? There needs to be a few.
I don't think you could seriously consider McAndrew an all-rounder. He's more a tailender with the ability to bat on occasion. Very much in the Cummins class. Has only made 2 scores over the 20s.

This season right? Which is my point. Used to average over 30 which is better than most of our batsmen
Yes, as a tailend batsman. Averaged 48 last season but with 7 red inks in 13 innings. Still only 3 scores over 30. The year before, averaged 22 with 3 scores over 30.
Very handy tail end batsman to come in at 8 or 9, but all-rounder is stretching imagination.
Made 1 in a partnership of 62 which helped McSweeney to his 100.

Thought the team selection was a bit odd, 3 quicks when we normally play with 4 and carrying all of McInerney, JFM, Lehmann and Brazell. Manenti as the spinner who hasn't looked like taking wickets all season.
Great to see McSweeney end the season on a good note though.

Yes, I believe they both play for Glenelg.
McAndrew picks up Jewell with his 2nd ball.
Brazell 6 innings for 104 runs, average 17.33. Made two ducks, the other 4 innings he made starts of 25, 20, 29 (run out), 30 but didn't go on with it. In view of the fact he at least attempted to protect his wicket and give the Redbacks a start, I'll give him a pass for now and he deserves to be looked at in 2024-25.
1/54, now 5/72 ... this is more like it Redbacks.
Nielsen is a beast
Fiddy for Nielsen
