They want to play young SA kids, we just don't have many good ones.

2 late wickets rescues the situation
 
Doggett the new quick we recruited on a three year deal apparently has a stress fracture in his back that he's been nursing for ages and isn't sure how to fix

Queensland sold us a lemon

Yeah things are pretty thin in terms of talent coming through.

One thing we can control though is the pitch. It's criminal that Karen Rolton has been such a flat, boring road for three years now.

Unless you can take 20 wickets you're no chance so give us something at least.

It's a fair effort to have a season like last year and not bother recruiting anyone of note.

Lock them in for the spoon again this year.

Do we not do medicals?

We do everything else poorly I guess so I assume not

The itinerary was then simplified to plane travel a week later, but COVID-19 again intervened and Queensland was added to SA's list of pariah states which saw Doggett's proposed arrival date of June 21 eventually kicked back to mid-August.

Knowing he could hardly saunter back into the Bulls' pre-season training sessions to keep himself in trim, Doggett instead mapped out a fitness program he could undertake at home amid his renovation work while also allowing himself the occasional joint work-out with near-neighbour and ex-Queensland allrounder, Ben Cutting.

Doggett figured that at least the enforced lay-off might help settle the back injury he developed at the end of last summer's successful Shield campaign - his first 'full' season in more than two years due to quadriceps and back problems – and he could hit the ground running once he got to Adelaide.

But the back issue has proved more troubling than expected, and he has instead eased into work with his new team which means the timing of his first outing in SA colours is as unclear as the domestic summer schedule itself.

"It's a crack, so we don't know what we're going to do about it," he says matter-of-factly of the latest report on his spine.

"It's a bit of a weird one because I don't have any pain in there but the images we get on it, it looks horrific.

"I've been managing it for four years, but it's probably at its worst point now so we just wait and see what happens.

"I'll try and play as much as I can while I'm pain free, and then if any pain comes up we'll just put the brakes on and go from there."

:rolleyes:

"In all honesty, I don't really want to be known for my cricketing ability," Doggett told cricket.com.au last week after completing his first centre-wicket match bowling stint for almost six months.

"I just want to grow and become a good person.

"It's more a life experience than anything else.

"Me and my fiancée (Jacqueline) are pretty fresh in our lives together with no kids or anything, so we thought we'd make the move while we can and have a look around and get to know something different.

Sounds motivated

My local footy club plays out of KRO, the groundskeepers have been working on all 4 grounds since May.

I think they've just put concrete down.

Damien Hough the Adelaide Oval curator has made a massive difference there. Adelaide test matches are frequently entertaining and you always get a result. He leaves more grass on the strip

The Karen Rolton curator is from the Les Burdett school. Prepare them very early, lots of rolling.
 
Pope got some cheapies at the end. Hopefully can build on that in the second innings - assuming that we bowl again :rolleyes:

His problem is that he seems to continually go at 5-6 runs per over, especially at Karen Rolton Oval

Difficult for the captain to throw him the ball as he turns the run scoring tap on, even though he does look like he could be a wicket taker.

Rarely bowls a maiden over. Not enough dot balls. Struggles to build pressure or even keep a batsman (sorry... batterperson) on strike for six balls. Leggies will always be attacking and go for a few more runs than other bowlers but he's a bit too loose. Still only 21yo though which is easy to forget.

Redbacks take a first innings lead, if i wasnt here I wouldnt have believed it.

I still dont
 
Solid start to the redbacks but still not a win.
We typically start this way.

Hard to get a win on a flat deck with no movement.

It's the type of game we usually get bowled out under 200 twice.

I saw about an hour of the game during my lunch break when Travis was about a run a ball

It's a small oval and flat deck but that was some of the best pure striking I've seen live at the ground.
 
A good day for the Redbacks. Qld all out 152 and we're 2/87. I feel so full of-- What's the opposite of shame?

Pride?

No, not that far from shame.

Less shame?

Yeah
