Redbacks: Title Town

[Pugsley]

Now Putland injured again. That bloke is the Sam Shaw of cricket.

Looks like Chad Sayers is going to tour NZ with the test squad. Great news but the Redbacks will miss him.

I used to spank that bloke as a junior.
Never rated him as a state level bowler, just that SA lacks depth in that area.

Played one season of junior (primary school) cricket ~ I was terrible

One kid on the team ended up playing a bit of shield cricket for SA and Tas (Chris Duval) and I remember thinking the balls he would bowl at me were the fastest things I'd ever encounter... He even ended up getting scouted by MLB scouts because of how fast he could throw the ball...


... this is really unrelated on hindsight, but I guess your post made me think of it for the first time in ages...

Putland won SA a ODD title with his death bowling against Tasmania.

Jace Bode (norwood player) was one of the quickest bowlers when I was a kid.
Another one who could clock it up believe it or not was Mark Cosgrove.

I remember that George fella that played for the redbacks used to bowl nice juicy half volleys on a regular basis.

Anyone can play one good game if given enough opportunities.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Don't be silly

Putland has a good Shield record. Has taken 10-fors on the MCG. He's quality, just can't get on the park.

He's done now though.

If we take out the Shield this season, will this thread be renamed?

This thread became the official Redbacks thread quite organically and naturally for a reason. A single shield in 20 years won't change that.

They've won an ODD tournament, finished r/up this year and also won the inaugural t20 comp.

Personally I reckon the Adelaide Lightning are giving the Redbacks a fair run in the last decade.

Peter George? Who played a test for us 4/5 years ago?

Thats two quality bowlers you've rubbished then.

 

[hey shorty]

Played indoor against Taity, got hit on the foot.

Good lord it hurt for days.

A Michelle for Richo in the ODI.

I think point being they were the best of a bad bunch and an indication as to why the redbacks have won very little silverware in the past 20 years.

George even playing a test is an indication that he is/was at least a decent state player.
And Putland also has a respectable state record, despite the constant injuries.

Not claiming they're superstars, but they've both had better than average state careers.

 

[DangerSloane]

Depends what you call par. Par for everyone else or par for redbacks bowlers. Putland bowling well tonight haha

 

[Bacon8]

Putlands a superstar right?

Channeling his inner West.

Channeling his inner West.

Would've preferred west.

 

[hey shorty]

Putland is class. Should not have been picked

 

[hey shorty]

With Sayers missing the important part of the Shield season its very pleasing to see Franky Worrall bowling well in the BBL. Love the blokes passion even if at times he goes too far.

Zampa called up into the ODI squad. Looks like we won't have to worry about winning that shield anymore. Great for Zampa though.

We have good bowling depth but itll be another huge blow. No Zampa, Sayers or Ferg....... good god.
