Cosgrove could have a second lunch and not come out to bat, and he'd still have greatly outperformed Quiney.

Blimey! What did he say? :eek: Given the number of times I hear the F-word in international cricket I am a bit surprised by this. Or are they tougher on bad language at the lower levels?
I'm not too sure. I didn't really think swearing, especially out of frustration, was such a big deal.
 
Gotta be some sort of enquiry at what is going on at SACA.

Just when it looked like things were slowly getting on track it's all fallen in a heap again.

There is a wasted period from about a decade ago when SA had some real good underage cricketers and none have made a mark internationally - Callum Ferguson, Mark Cosgrove, Cameron Borgas, Trent Kelly, Tom Plant, Dan Cullen, Cullen Bailey, Daniel Franco, Oswald Jacobs and most have underwhelmed at interstate level

This is the period we really missed the boat. You could add many more names to that list, Shaun Tait and Nathan Adcock among many others. There was a lot of young talent around that went untapped. Cameron Borgas is an interesting one, still only 31 and no longer is the selectors' eyes. Played Shield cricket at 17, had a really good period batting 3 for SA where he made several 100s. Then one day he walked in at 8 in a T20 match, won the game with 31 from 9 balls, and from that moment on he was considered a T20 player. Such a waste. Had he been brought on in the tradtional way, he'd be captain of SA as we speak.

Not wishing to speak ill of the departed, but Dan Cullen and Cullen Bailey were until the watchful eye of Terry Jenner and went backwards. How such talent can just drop away like that is alarming. Certainly Ferguson and Cosgrove should have represented Australia by now, we all have theories who to blame for this, I wouldn't like to say. Certainly not the Test selectors.
 
Commissioner Anthony Crocker determined the severity of the Club Ban warranted a higher punishment which resulted in a suspension from the Redbacks next Shield match against the Alcohol.Think Again Western Warriors at Gliderol Stadium on 16 February.

Would it be too much to refer to them as Western Australia FFS? This isn't T20, it's Sheffield Shield Cricket.

The naming stuff is shit and tacky, but it happens a fair bit now

Shield teams have been officially using sponsors in their names for years. Any article by CA is going to use the sponsors' names.
 
I'm still surprised CA acknowledges our sponsor at all. They threw quite a fuss when they censored our sponsorship signs at the Matador Cup.
