Qld also putting out their hands to have their arse's handed to them by Pattinson. Gone a long way to confirm his test spot with today's effort.

Sorry Johan, the cupboard is bare.

I mean, two or 3 years ago, the U/17 won the comp and have had reasonable compaigns the last couple of year. Where are those guys? Why aren't they dominating grade cricket?

Didn't see him today, but I'm assuming something similar applies.

This article ****s me. Import takes one wicket and scores five runs for the match and starts blaming the culture.

South Australia will carry this reject for an entire season.

Length seemed from this a bit short, at least compared to what was so successful against NZ and India last summer. Maybe it was just the perfect length for this pitch, but I do wonder if it will be as effective against South Africa in a few weeks time.

Forrest is sorta like Marsh all over again. Except the highs weren't as high and the lows not as low.

Going through the posts I missed

totally agree. scott coyte's return last season was basically our only feel good story for the season. i mean, i legitimately had faith in him in those shield matches at the end of last season. i was pretty surprised he didn't get offered a contract really.

(and other Marsh batting posts)

I've got Mitch Marsh marked down as a future Tom Cooper/Luke Butterworth. Basically all his good batting performances have come against nsw/sydney sixers. ****er

Quite like the move to drop George. Dude doesn't take wickets outside of Hobart

Aside from that one time against NSW. ****er.

He def should have played in hindsight, but the seamers were all playing and Holland, on the back of actually performing decently those couple of times last season, has a secure spot for the next 4 seasons. so.

on a related note, lol @ lynn. what a fall from grace.
