Trust the Redbacks to win a trophy without winning.

Theo way to go
Hit up high and hit them down low
Theo give them the heave ho
you are the Theo Doropoulos.


Ya you Reds!

LOL Sensational knocks two weeks in a row from him and Klinger.

Well done lads.

Final over was simply sensational.

Well done Redbacks.

Being the best side for the entire years, allows a tie to be enought. Well done lads.

Gutted I wasn't able to see it live last night. I was jumping up and down listening to the last over on Grandstand radio.

So exciting having a South Australian team winning a title. Let's hope the Crows can continue to success into 2012.

 

[SydCrow]

credit where credit is due - I went to bed thinking there was no way they could win - and they didn't

But what a fantastic comeback. Gary Putland went from the doghouse to the penthouse in about 20 minutes.

Enjoy it boys. Maybe they can wear red shirts in the Shield next year?

 

[Smoooothy]

thread should be closed now, they aren't the most embarassing side in history anymore

 

[Jars458]

Was fantastic to be there after I missed the shield win in 95-96.

Putland was tremendous and the fielding by Lyon Klinger Harris and Crossthwaite was outstanding.

George Bailey all class as well.

Great game of cricket.

WE will get smashed in the four day game though.

Nah, just rename the thread to include the words "Sheffield Shield".

Having said that, helluva win.

Anyone read the tweets about Gary Putland? #GaryPutlandFacts

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Good day today... :vomit smilie:

 

[Drakescoffeecake]

Back to reality

 

[alex_is_on_fire]

Remember the 1997 Crows side and many other young developing teams have had growing pains leading up to success.

I think we will see a remarkable improvement next year but we will also see a few very poor days. It's just the good days will start to outnumber the poor days from now own.

They have to start believing.

 

[SydCrow]

gee, that honeymoon didn't last long

alex - I admire your optimism but they really are ****

 

[alex_is_on_fire]

alex - I admire your optimism but they really are ****

No they are not.

2 trophies in 2 years and they are slowly getting better with the length of the game. Confidence in sport is a very funny things.

 

[jackster83]

It doesn't help that we seem to keep running into sides with test regulars having a stint at state level (Siddle, Cowan, Ponting, etc).

 

[MelbourneCrow]

Good to see Head and Stray both make 90s in the 2nd dig, and even scores in the 20s in the first innings debacle. Well done Klinger too with a 50 and double century.

The SACA have hit a new low by replacing Klinger as captain with South African chucker Johan Botha

 

[Drakescoffeecake]

Um. What the shit

 

[RoosterLad]

Klinger gets named our best player in all forms of cricket then gets sacked as skipper for a yarpie chucker.

Botha is a really good pick up, but we should have kept Klinger as captain. We saw last year with Adelaide United Jon McKain coming into a new club with international experience and huge reputation being made captain.

We've had another shocking Sheffield Shield season but we should support Klinger and bring better players around him.

 

[spenze]

Something had to change, we've collected three spoons under his captaincy. A great cricketer he is but leading by example isn't as good as a inspiring leader. Hopefully with the burden of leadership off him he'll be free to really plunder some runs

Must have been a hard pill to swallow but it is a positive decision by the Redbacks

 

[Cap]

Something had to happen, atleast it is a player of some value not just a discarded NSW player
