Redbacks 2018/19

I'm not giving a name purely because I have no idea 1) whether it's genuinely true or not (only talk) and 2) if it is whether my club will make a play (with Weatherald playing shield cricket we could use another keeping option) and given we have at least one very high ranking club official from another club who frequents this thread it would not be a good decision to air that. That said if it is true I suspect said official would already be aware.

Could be Paine, would be a nice back up option. Should be going for Pierson, that's who I wanted Tasmania to target last year instead of the other three hundred keepers we acquired
 
Feel a bit for Carey if we do get someone else. Just gotta pick your best squad, though.

Heard the same re: page full contract. emerging young fastie will replace winter on the rookie list too. Surprisingly hearing Cosgrove out and Cooper to stick around. Also heard murmurs of a wicketkeeper being sourced from interstate.

Cosgrove won't get the arse. SACA already bowed to public pressure and criticism and re recruited him
 
Pretty sure Peirson is on a multi-year deal with Queensland; they are getting him set to take over from Hartley. Bet he plays Matador Cup for them this season for starters. He's only 23 so has some time up his sleeve yet.

Thought he was good opening for them in the Matador Cup two seasons ago. I really like him as a prospect and think he'll be in the top two or three keepers in the nation when he gets it together

What an absolute waste of time, effectively lost Klinger and Botha for one of South Australia's most disappointing players ever

They bowed to public opinion, all I ever heard was "how could the SACA let cosgrove go" etc, so they re recruited him and stuffed up big time in the process, Klinger should still be playing in our state but clearly SACA had no idea, key word had and hopefully doesn't need to be changed to have

The report I read stated we had picked up Cameron Boyce too
 
Jamie Cox was interviewed at the time Klinger left and said that outside of his massive double century his last couple of seasons with us had been only average in the Shield competition. Didn't warrant the long term deal he was after. I don't know whether his stats reflect this? Certainly had killed it in short form cricket for us.
 
Feels like we're a fraction thin on pace bowling stocks.

Richardson is a short form gun but used sparingly in Shield cricket. Benton I'm not sure about? Seemed that he fell out of favour this season. Valente and Opie were being picked ahead of him.

Then just our big three - Sayers, Mennie, Worrall. If they stay fully fit and don't get picked for any Australian stuff then we're fine. If not...

yeah basically. Klinger's been part of 15 FC summers, and averaged over 40 in 5 of them, with his two WA summers being 2 of those total 5. His last 3 summers in SA he averaged ~35 over that time (including one season where he averaged 19). But Klinger is exceptionally good at making one monster hundred a season. He scored 3 tons in those last 3 seasons in SA...and two of them were double hundreds. He's actually quite fascinating. He's someone who is really pretty mediocre...but then he makes that massive hundred for the summer and gets everyone's attention...

It certainly wasn't a slam dunk "you want 3 years? sure!" thing, particularly given BBL contracts are separate from state contracts and you shouldn't really be wasting contracted spots on LO centric players anymore. Obviously Klinger has performed, but Cox's view was perfectly acceptable.

Especially when you consider when most the test opportunities opened up (post 2010/11 Ashes and around 2012/13 after Ponting/Hussey retirements) it's not hard to see why he never got a go.[/code]
 
Interesting list. Agree with DABM that we're short on pacemen. Benton/Opie/Valente are all good 1st graders but not state level I'd suggest. Agar's a project and Grant - well, I haven't seen as much of him as some here but he's by no means nippy. Was half expecting Cormack to get a rookie deal.

Dalton's an interesting hire. I like it.

1. Weatherald
2. Raphael/Kelvin
3. Page/Ferguson
4. Head
5. Lehmann
6. Ross
7. Carey
8. Zampa
9. Mennie
10. Sayers
11. Worrall

Is probably what they're looking at then? Page plays if Ferg doesn't get up? Probably plays the whole one day cup too; great white ball player.
 
Think Ludeman already had a contract for next season.

1. Weatherald
2. Smith
3. Raphael (until Ferg fit)
4. Head
5. Lehmann
6. Ross
7. Carey
Zampa, Mennie, Sayers, Worrall

Alternative might be for Ludeman to play, assuming he finds touch in the one dayers, with Carey to play as a batter and open.
