Hope he does sign Neser, tbf. I really rate him as an allround cricketer but he's not going to crack the Queensland side as a bowler with the depth they've got so he's basically just sweating out Hopes's retirement. As Berry managed to sneak into the article, he's already signed for the Strikers so it's a natural fit.

The Muirhead thing was wow though. Made no attempt to hide it at all!

Aside from the terrible writing style I like this - he's pretty spot on. Agree a lot with the Muirhead and Neser love.

Yeah - I remember watching him from side on one game during the big bash and I was amazed at the amount of flight and more specifically, drop he was getting. Watched it later on TV and despite the fact that he's probably 5-10 ks too slow right now... there's a lot to work with. Would love to get him across (to replace another South Aussie, I'm sure <_<)

So do I - he's a real player. He'd get the opportunity and responsibility with us - and I bet he'd thrive.

Also, does anyone know why Kane Richardson is not playing? Mennie is back.

Haha both of these are just bull****. Cooper's gone and made some ridiculous knocks in A-grade since his dropping (125, 62, 181*) and still can't get a game.

And Mennie's a prank cricketer. Really is - we've got so many better seamers than him. Haberfield too, both really aren't much. Frustrates me to see both playing today. Good to see Sayers and Raphael getting a run though.

Yep, kids a class act.

I distinctly remember a few years ago playing against Prince Alfred College on their front oval - one of the nicest ovals one could ever play on, and being so pumped for the game.

Well, pumped for the game I was. Bowling to Kelvin Smith

Offie - swept for six.
Dart - blocked
Dart - tapped back over my head for six
Attempted Doosra - cut for four
Full fligher - over my head for six
Dart - flicked through mid wicket for four.

Was absolutely horrific especially as the kid would have been 14-15 at the time.

He hit a double century in 40 overs a week later too.

Since then I've been following him closely - the kids an absolute jet. Going to be something special, bookmark it.

New coach Justin Langer will unite Western Australia, says South Australian skipper Johan Botha | The Courier-Mail

THE spectre of coaching messiah Justin Langer will unite and inspire troubled Western Australia for start of today's Sheffield Shield clash in Perth, predicts wary South Australian skipper Johan Botha.

oh my god

[brockley]

Dawson out early.

[NUFAN]

Can't buy a first class run can he, just finds the step up that little bit too much.

Any info on Louis Cameron, Orthdox?

Copes 12th man.
