2009/10 Round 1 State Contract Lists Announced - Australian Cricketers' Association
Contracts announced.
Adam crossthewaite walks,ryan carter new reserve keeper for crossthwaite.

 

[NUFAN]

Is Jason Floras a genuine chance of getting some game time for QLD this season?

I can't really fathom how Dan Doran got a full contract either.

Tasmania have a quality squad.

 

[brockley]

Michael deighton and mark divin cut by tasmania what did they do wrong,no trent kelly for wa.
I guess there are going to be some losers here.
maybe mark divin will go back to the ACT.

 

[brockley]

Wonder who else missed out transfer pool becomes real interesting.
gather trent kelly playing in northern territory again could go back to sa.
jason floros could bat 6 for hopes i guess,with one dayers and stuff.

 

[brockley]

ACT will be **** this year who is left,mark higgs oh thats right under 23 cop he is too old
We will call ACT the no names.

 

[brockley]

No crawford or davis for wa cut too.

 

[vic_orthdox]

ACT will be **** this year who is left,mark higgs oh thats right under 23 cop he is too old
We will call ACT the no names.

Higgs will play as one of three over 23 players that you are allowed.

 

[brockley]

Are all teams allowed 3 players over the age of 23,or just canberra and northern territory.

Thought i'd repost this,some pretty good pick ups here.

 

[Craig]

I wouldn't mind Michael Dighton.

 

[brockley]

Deighton would be a good pick up for wa or qld,hopes will be missing for much of qld one dayers and 20/20.
Crossthwaite best chance WA,vs ronchi,can't believe he played for australia 8/9 months ago.

 

[Noble One]

Yes expecting Dighton to find a new home. Maybe has two to three years of possible cricket left in him at 33 years of age.

Good all-round value, holds his own in all three formats of the game. Expecting him to goto WA.

 

[brockley]

Any nibbles from wa,or just a gut feeling,he may go there without a contract.
Would improve their one day side heaps.

I would imagine he would still have many contacts within WA cricketing circles. Contract or no contract I would say Dighton is heading back to his cricketing roots in Western Australia.

Would be a perfect fit in the Western Australian sides. Batting depth was appalling last season, far too much reliance on the likes of Pomersbach, Voges and North.

 

[Craig]

I thought Dighton was originally from Queensland. Well he was born there anyway.

Considering ACT's team last season was practically under 23's we'll be fine. Losing Carters is a big loss and Floros who would have played this season too. There are replacements, Carter's back up keeper from the under 19's last few years Seb Blazczyk is a good player and could come in.

Problem is some of the guys like David Griffith, Nic Death, Adam Ritchard might be a year too old now.

 

[Simon]

Just looking through the full list of rookies is good to see 7 former Canberra players get contracts (Croswaite, Floros, Irvine, Rogers, Carters, Sheridan and Behrendorf). Proves we have enough quality here to be a long term chance of a First Class side, wish we could get our act together off the field. Cause those guys combined with other former ACT players like Dawson, Divin, McNees, Swards, Higgs, Perera etc... could put together a reasonable squad.

 

[Noble One]

Born in Queensland, not sure when he made the move to Western Australia. Played all of his junior cricket in WA, represented WA at the cricket academy, made his first class debut in WA.

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Cutting Davis is slightly odd considering how few openers we have.
