Hopefully with Stoinis out, Pucovski and Short can have a bit of a run.

 

[Hellgood]

Holland out is a strange one given his form in county cricket. Can understand he'd be down the pecking order a little bit, but to slip right out on the back of a seeming breakthrough is odd.

Are there any has bean/ never will be journey men picked from other states this year?

Holland out is a strange one given his form in county cricket. Can understand he'd be down the pecking order a little bit, but to slip right out on the back of a seeming breakthrough is odd.

If he's playing in county cricket on an English passport getting a Shield contract as a local would jeopardise his county contract.

 

[JC Hawks]

Zak Evans picked as a rookie will be a gun. Only in year 11 and bowling at about 135 clicks.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Thanks for your service Bobby.
Looking forward to what appears to be a season of development, in some ways it's nice that they haven't replaced that experienced core with experienced journeymen.

 

[Torz]

Weren't there rumours that Wes Agar was going to be picked up by you guys?

I see he was dropped by SA, but not give a contract here.

 

[Hellgood]

If he's playing in county cricket on an English passport getting a Shield contract as a local would jeopardise his county contract.

Ah, didn't think of that.

But am sure I remember that in the aftermath of Hogan going there was some relaxation of the rule?

 

[eth-dog]

Time to plan for the future finally. It'll be interesting to see our List A set up, maybe:

Harris
Dean
White
Pucovski
Short
Christian
Gotch (+)
Hastings
Pattinson
Holland
Boland

Assuming Maxy, Hank and Finch are in India

 

[Yoda_]

Haven't kept a close eye on the guys in Premier Cricket - could someone give me a small description of the new guys in the squad?

 

[Yoda_]

JLT squads being released, would think we will go in looking something like this;

1. Travis Dean
2. Marcus Harris
3. Cam White
4. Matthew Short
5. Seb Gotch
6. Dan Christian
7. Sam Harper
8. John Hastings
9. Peter Siddle
10. Chris Tremain
11. Scott Boland


Strong bowling attack, little light on with the batsmen so hoping one of our kids can have a reasonable season to help alleviate the loss of Marcus Stoinis.

CONFIRMED

 

[The_Reaper]

Wes Agar?

Went for a few in the practice games.

To be fair, he will be well down the list

We're gonna get killed. White and Short will need to find 10 overs between them every game.

as long as we beat the CA XI and don't finish last, everything else is a bonus.

 

[ROOTA#6]

Can White loves this tournament. If he goes as he normally does this time of year we should post some decent scores

 

[eth-dog]

I'm not convinced that's a given in all honesty
