It would.Maybe a Showdown victory on Saturday will lighten the mood......
2/95 at Stumps. If we don't win it this year, then surely we'll go one better next year? After all SA are a young side.
Are you serious? If SA pulls this off, I'll be doing back flips, which could be extremely dangerous for my dodgy hamstrings......Victoria need 97 more runs... If SA manage to get them out I won't know whether to be happy because we chased them down or disappointed by Victoria because they let us off the hook so easily
Totally agree. The d!ckhead$ at the $ACA NEVER should've got rid of Klinger, his experience would've been invaluable in this game. Definitely miss Fergie, hopefully he'll be 100% commited to SA, & that means NO playing in the BBBL!!!The Redbacks have done well to get to the Shield final despite injury to Ferguson and Richardson but they need to get an experienced player who can Captain the side thus taking pressure off Travis Head. Head, Lehmann, Weatherall and Ross have ability but not much experience, they need to be able to concentrate on batting. In any case Head has been named in Australia's ODI team and if he makes a few he may play more games for Australia than the Redbacks. Adam Zampa is also in the squad.
There must be a question over Ferguson's knees but I guess he will go around again. Cosgrove is disappointing because he lets us down when we need him the most. This game was tailor made for Cosgrove to stand up and produce but he was not able to do it. If the SACA are dinkum they will look for an experienced Shield player to lead the side and if one is forthcoming they will relegate Cosgrove as a depth player.
Well done to the Redbacks on making a Shield Final. When Fergusson went down then Richardson was injured I gave the Redbacks little chance of making it.
It's been good to see Weatherald step up with some runs in not many games, Lehmann has made plenty but like we've seen recently a bit hit and miss and Carey make a few here and there (but apparently a stack of runs at grade level too). Head and Ross have continued their form of last season. Do we need to bolster the batting? For the last couple seasons it seems Cam White has been on the outer but as we've seen in his last two (at least) Shield matches he's pretty much rescued the Vics (to earn a place in the final) and put them in a winning position (smashing 70 odd runs at the end of their innings to build a lead), so he might get another contract. Would love to get him here though, if only for a season or two. Marcus Harris is a fringe player from WA who may be attracted to call Adelaide home, although he's probably biding his time waiting for Klinger, Voges and S. Marsh to retire with Bancroft and Agar the CA selectors' new favourite project players...The Redbacks have done well to get to the Shield final despite injury to Ferguson and Richardson but they need to get an experienced player who can Captain the side thus taking pressure off Travis Head.

He bowled the last over when South Africa chased down 434 against us in a one day match. Absolute disgrace to do what he did in a shield final, any game to be honest.

Yeah my memory from that game was hazy, thought it was Lewis bowling at the end.No he didn't. Obviously Lewis will remember that match particularly well but it was Brett Lee who Ntini smartly deflected his yorker to third man for a single and before Boucher finished it off in style with a lofted on-drive.
Harris would be a good pickup. Has the patience to bat for very long periods of time, which he has shown on a few occasions. Unfortunately has been fairly inconsistent and would require a bit of time to get settled into the side - which would take a bit of guts from a selector to provide him with. Not going to get those opportunities at WA in the next year or so unless Bancroft spends more time with the Australian squad. As an aside what is with the snarky comment about Bancroft being a project player? Absolutely ludicrous that people cry out for Shield performance, yet sulk when it is rewarded.
Not a social visit for Gus? Most of the port boys are pretty good friends with most #deadbacks boys just check InstagramFairly disappointing result today for the rednecks, but did anyone else go down to the game this morning? Gus was down there (obviously for MMM stuff) cause I saw him by the cricket club, and then later on the field doing an interview or something.

What's snarky about it? Those two will be in and out of the WA side so they can play for Australia A/XI sides and the odd game for Australia, as I assume guys like Head and Zampa will be from SA, Stoinis and Handscomb from Vic and even the likes of Jamie Peirson and dare I say it...Alex Keath (once upon a time). Ergo, more opportunity for Harris.As an aside what is with the snarky comment about Bancroft being a project player?
