Redbacks 2018/19

[GreyBudgie]

Cosgrove has turned down the offer from the SACA.

Better check that Source!

Top Tigers batsman Mark Cosgrove returns to South Australia

Unless he not playing first class cricket of course?

Yeah I think I read wrong somewhere haha.

 

[PAFCsince1870]

Klinger
Hughes
Cosgrove
Ferguson
Cooper
McDonald
Botha
Ludeman
Richardson
Sayers
Putland

Head, Zampa, Mennie, Smith all around the mark.

Have we lost anyone yet?

While it's hard to disagree with that team Australian cricket will be poorer in the long run if Travis Head isn't playing regular Shield cricket.

Kel Smith another we need to get a good look at next season. Averaged 94 in Grade Cricket as a teenager.

 

[jackess]

Not happy with losing Klinger.

Not happy with losing Klinger.

Cosgrove balances it out

Cosgrove balances it out

Doesn't have quite the same consistency and there was a good reason why we let him go a few years back.

 

[Aussie_boy]

To be completely honest, i'd much prefer keeping Head to Klinger, Maxy only has a couple of years left. Would've been nice to keep him but hardly the end of the world.

No chat about Cox getting sacked? Rumour is some of the coaching staff could also be on the chopping block once CA completes their investigation. Does this also mean that Cox's Premier League is also at stake?

Article in the paper about Tait making a return to First Class cricket.

Odd, I'll believe it when I see it.

 

[eth-dog]

Wouldn't even be in SA's best attack anymore with Putland, Richardson, Sayers and Mennie as a battery. Then add in McDonald...

So Cox did all the negotiating without anyone else's involvement? Amazing

Nielsen now CEO of SACA. Redbacks just completed their pre-season tour of QLD and NT. Playing aginst QLD, NT and UAE sides. Winning all matches comfortably except for today where they just got over the line with close to a second XI side. Worrall, Richardson and Tate all bowling good pace, Putland looks fit. Cosgrove, Head, Ferg and Ross all in very strong form with the bat.

[Aussie_boy]

I'm going to predict the line-up for this weekend's first one-day game, just because I feel like it
Mark Cosgrove
Travis Head
Callum Ferguson
Andrew McDonald
Tom Cooper
Alex Ross
Tim Ludeman (wk)
Johan Botha (C)
Chadd Sayers
Gary Putland
Shaun Tait
12th- Jake Lehmann
13th- Trent Lawford
14th- Adam Zampa

Bearing in mind, Joe Mennie is at CLT20 with the Hobart Hurricanes and Kane Richardson and Phil Hughes having international duties. I think Dan Worrall will get a game but this is the side I would choose.

I'll stick my neck out and go with:

Cosgrove
McDonald
Head
Ferguson
Cooper
Ludeman (+)
Botha (c)
Lawford
Sayers
Zampa
Putland

 

[Aussie_boy]

Just saw the squad, McDonald not in the 14 man side and Nick Winter is. Don't know much about him other than he's from Canberra and pretty sure he's a left armed bowler.

 

[Smartys Power]

Is McDonald injured again? Or just left out?

Cosgrove
McDonald
Head

Ludeman (+)
Botha (c)
Lawford
Sayers
Zampa
Putland

Not sure if I see a point in selecting Tait if he doesn't play

 

[RangaInTeal]

What is the 14?

 

[The Speaker]

What is the 14?

Johan Botha (capt), Mark Cosgrove, Tom Cooper, Callum Ferguson, Travis Head, Trent Lawford, Jake Lehmann, Tim Ludeman, Gary Putland, Alex Ross, Chadd Sayers, Shaun Tait, Nick Winter, Adam Zampa

No idea why you'd leave Smith out.

 

[Aussie_boy]

No idea why you'd leave Smith out.

Think it's a ploy by Darren Berry to ease the younger guys into the short form game. For instance Travis Head has rarely played short-ball cricket despite being good enough.

 

[jackess]

Hopefully McDonald is just getting rested for the Sheffield Shield. Great to see Putland available. As usual its a long tail with Botha and Ludeman at 6 and 7.

Maybe, but then again they've selected Lehmann.
