Harvey to the redbacks ?

eastaugh36 · Mar 20, 2003

Heard on the news that we may be after Harvey.
I may not rate him internationally, as Blewett is as good a bowler and a better batsman so he should have been in before Harvey,but it would be a good signing on top of flower.
Also heard Elliott may come and also Nicholson from WA.

I think that if it's true it would be due to their hate of David Hookes.
I don't like David Hookes much either.

May be Hookesy is going to send a few Victorians back to his home state. I would prefer if he threw Hodge or Elliot our way.

More to do with Hookes's dislike of Harvey. Thinks he's lazy and uncoachable and more interested in his lucrative County deal than in Australian state cricket. I don't know if that's correct as most people say Harvey's "just different" and not into training but Hookes has criticised him consistently and publicly since he became coach so doubt Harvey will stay with the Vics.
Hookes is pretty confident that Elliott will stay even though his current contract is up for renewel so he can move on if he wants to. Hodge is still contracted.
It looks like there may be more interstate movements this year than we've ever seen before.

Here in QLD today in the Courier Mail, there's a big article about NSW going after Nathan Hauritz. I actually wouldnt mind that because I really rate Nathan and this would allow to him to play the majority of his domestic cricket on a spinners wicket rather than a seamers delight like the Gabba and allow him to develop into that test cricketer I know he will be.

These rumours are like the AFL pre-season rumours that link every player with Collingwood.

raiderman00 · Mar 20, 2003

Bloody hell i hate Hookes, what is he on. Harvey is a good player for the VICS please don't leave because of stupid Hookes. Go back to South Australia you ****.

hahaha he is a south aussie sent over there to destruct victorian cricket even more, with the eventual goal being to send players to his home state and at the same time sabotaging victorian cricket. Couldnt happen to a better bunch of ***** !

I've heard rumours he may be coming to Victoria.

All the rumours are crap and very few will eventuate.

What is that judgement based on? Definitely not statistics.

Numbers tell you that Harvey is the vastly superior bowler, at all levels.

In ODI's Harvey averages 32 with the ball, Blewett 46.

In 4 day games, Harvey has 300 wickets @ 27, Blewett 128 @ 41.

In domestic one dayers, Harvey averages 20 per wicket, Blewett 32.

Blewett is clearly the better batsman, and by a long way, but to say his bowling is as good as Harvey's is plain ludicrous.

lufc618 · Mar 20, 2003

I read in the advertiser this morning that Michael Hussey has been approached by the SACA. Nicholson has also been approached and the Elliot rumours are still flying around. But it's good to see that Andy Flower has been signed for 3 season. Will give the Redbacks a real boost.

CharlieG · Mar 20, 2003

Well, it seems as if SA are on a big recruiting spree... Flower, Elliott, Harvey, Nicholson, Hussey??? They'll want plenty of bucks.

They won't get Hussey though unless the ACB drops him from their contracts. He can't jump to another state while he's under ACB contract. Is Harvey contracted as well?

You have to take the Easty factor into account

Very few would say Blewett was as good with the ball as Harvey

Certinaly not the man himself. Certainly not me.

Not quite as ludicrous as those who think Hogg should play ahead of MacGill though

Yeah good point. Harvey is definitely contracted so that precludes any interstate move unless he's not re-contracted,unlikely given that he's in the one day team at the moment.
Hussey,on the other hand,will most likely lose his ACB contracted and will be available to transfer.

Does domestic cricket have a salary cap of any sort?

He would be better off going to SA (and he would be more of a boost to SA than Harvey) because SA does not have a spinner (well quality one anyway !!!). In NSW he has McGill and Katich to compete with, not only that, the pitch in Adelaide will suit him.

grinspoon · Mar 20, 2003

yeah heard shane warne, tendulkar, lara and murili to red backs too, and michael jordan and shaquille oniell to the 36ers.

Easty you silly knob.Harvey & Elliott were as useless as **** on a bull this season,yet the Vic's still finished above SA in the Milk Cup.

Losing them will only be an improvement.

jim440 · Mar 20, 2003

Bad luck, Redbacks.

Matthew Elliott has re-signed with the VCA for another two years.
