Best mates with Valente, stoked he finally got his chance

Congrats to him, any word if he's in for sure or not?

Btw, what do you mean finally? isn't he only 20

Through sheer weight of wickets he is probably gonna have to get a run sooner or later, but there is some serious talent around the quick bowling ranks. It's a tough gig in test cricket bowling a little over medium pace and it doesn't take too many poor tests for the doubts to start creeping in from selectors and even the bowler themselves.

Someone from CA needs to get stuck into Travis Head, for a player with his talent he has far too many lapses in concentration.

Needs to use his cranium.

Lawford with 37 off 9 deliveries in the SACA Premier League tonight.

Well that'll come in handy when he gets picked as a batsmen, which would probably be never

Mark Cosgrove with 90 off 46. Would have been handy in the run chase last night.

I certainly don't ever want to see him bowl another ball in Redbacks colours

He did concede 18 from the 8 deliveries he bowled.

Well there you go, not surprising at all. At least we will see Cossie back in the shield side , should never have been dropped after his first match

 

[Smartys Power]

Putland and Cosgrove back into the side.

The article states that Putland is the only change, failing to mention that Cosgrove has come into the squad for Valente.

Travis Head
Phil Hughes

Andrew McDonald
Joe Mennie
Gary Putland

In: Putland

Out: Worrall

Not sure what will happen, but confident Cosgrove will play. Probably for McDonald but I think they are playing with the idea of dropping a bowler for him.

Yeah I'm not too sure how they will do it. I like the inclusions so I'll be pretty happy with whoever I reckon.

Solomon Mire doing well for Zimbabwe. Moved to SA from VIC this season ( even played a bit of BBL last year) hoping to get some state cricket. Could be a good option for us.

What is wrong with us lately ?? collapsing in our batting and just giving away games

Simple answer...

We're shit.

Very good last year. Standards slipped over the break. Cultural problem when you get rid of a professional cricketer like Klinger and bring in someone like Cosgrove who might be a good batsmen, but professional isn't a word is use describe him.

I think you mean the Pie Man.. I dislike Cosgrove but losing Klinger was huge for the club.

Agreed. Should have made the final last year. But I was furious when we got rid of Klinger and brought in Cosgrove. Was extremely loyal when he got the chance to get across here and did wonders for us, leading us to some silverware, finally. Was also very disappointed when he lost the captaincy to Botha.

Club. It's run like one.

They seemed to think they'd be a decent team without Klinger and had batters to replace him but everyone else saw how stupid the decision was.

Hopefully getting rid of Cox will help.

McDonalds injuries have really hurt though. If we had him bowling in the following team.

Hughes/Cosgrove
Klinger
Ferguson
Cooper
Head
McDonald
Ludeman
Botha
Mennie/Richardson
Sayers
Putland/Zampa

How do you SA guys feel about Botha as captain?

As a bowler I can't stand him. He doesn't bowl it legally.

Is he a good leader though?

 

[Daz]

The most disappointing thing about losing Klinger is we did it to keep Smith who for some reason can't get a game.

Apparently he's excellent. SA cricket has certainly improved while he's been at the helm.

Darren Berry has stood aside from the SA Redbacks indefinitely due to personal reasons.

Sacked for sure. Same thing happened to Sorrell
