I've never rated Haze much in ODI's but he's improved massively over the last 18mths. A number 11 can't bat...well so what! Haze is a much better bowler it isn't close.

He had one semi decent Big Bash season and is about 1000ft tall. Not sure that warrants a contract.

The only surprise in this list of players is that Shaun Marsh didn't get a gig alongside his bruz.
In all seriousness, why can't the list of CA contracted players be confined to Test and Shield excellence for at least 2 years? Which means why is Stanlake and Agar are considered? To be offered a contract I think play a Test or 3 then see what happens.

The Finisher?
Yeah agree totally. Because we always relied on McGrath to bat us out of sticky situations! Bowlers bowl, and are the real matchwinners of any cricket team.

Not as if Starc and Cummins for that matter (or Pattinson), etc can't bat anyway! If you are relying on your number 11 to score runs...how about the batsmen do their job!
Starc a better all rounder than Faulkner
I thought Stanlake's contract is pretty explanatory.
He is an injury prone player of natural interest and CA want to be able to control him.

Maybe but surely we've learnt from the past giving players contracts too early. He's a huge talent I'd had waited a year that's all.
With due respect what does giving him a contract this year compared to next year change apart from the cost of the contract?

Make him really earn it and perform across all formats. It's why I'm happy they haven't rushed in and given Swepson one yet.
Just done think a few games should get you a contract

I guess single-handedly bowling us to our only win in India in over a decade with better match figures than Shane Warne's best, in one of the only opportunities he's ever got to play for Australia just didn't cut it for O'Keefe.

Unfortunately whether they say it or not, I do feel his latest off field thing might have hurt him.
He's unlucky but similar to SMarsh, I think they might move on from both players. Nothing wrong with that.

Nevill isn't even first choice in the one format he'd be an option for, Haddin. Why would be have been given a national contract?
It's the bog standard 'I'm surprised that this thing that had no chance of happening hasn't happened' thing you get with ex-cricketers

If you're on a CA contract it means they pay you, not the state association. It also means the body that's supposed protect the best interests of the game can make a mockery of said game by withdrawing players after an innings of a first class match, allow a sub, and deny 150 years of history.

Wow, amazing revelation from Rodney Hogg on SEN just then about the Faulkner snub.
Hogg said that Lancashire offered Faulkner 120k a season to be their marquee for the upcoming county season. CA apparently interfered with Faulkner's interests and told him to keep cherry ripe for national selection. Faulkner then gets dropped from the ODI squad and cut from the CA contract.
I'd be doing everything to stick it up to CA if I was Faulkner if this was true. Lulling him into a false sense of security then going in dry like that, pathetic.
Yet unknowns like Stanlake get a contract over the Faulkner's and Sayer's, what a disgrace.

He actually said 120,000 pounds, which is closer to $210,000 - 220,000!! And Hoggy doesn't make s**t up.
