Redbacks No More - SACA spuds are back

The trade between the two sides saw the Strikers send Agar and their round two pick to the Thunder, in return receiving the Sydney sides’ second round pick, subsequently improving the Strikers draft position.

He wasn't getting much of a go so probably fair enough. It does leave our fast bowling stocks fairly thin. Only Thornton, Doggert and Bazely and I'm not sure if the first two even have contracts. Obviously we can add Internationals.

'Can cricket solve those issues?' - Rashid to reconsider playing BBL over CA stance on Afghanistan

If Rashid doesn't come we might be in for some interesting times.

His style of play suits the Adelaide oval short square boundaries

I would of liked to see another spinner in the Redbacks squad.

I am hoping the new coach gives Pope a run of games as I think if you are serious about being a good side you need a genuine spin option.

No offence to Manenti who has been great with the bat but I see him more as an all rounder.

Who is the next best spinner at District level besides Pope?

Having a ridiculous IPL season first up, basically telling selectors that you can't leave me out for the T20 WC. They did say IPL would play a huge part in selection.

 

[BACCS]

JFM is coming out ball 1 every match he plays and hitting them sweetly for 4 or 6, it is just insane batting. Two 50s on the trot off 15 balls.

There's a leggie from Glenelg who goes alright, Will Bowering. Played a couple of SA 2nd XI games last year. Younger than Pope.

Tom O'Connell is a peer of Pope's and was impressing on his way through but accepted a first class contract from Victoria at 18 years of age and disappeared. Barely had an impact, got a back stress fracture and didn't progress. Is back in Adelaide now but not sure how he's tracking. Leg spinner

There's an offie from Sturt Lachlan Ranaldo who has some wraps on him but is pretty young I think, fair way off

Cupboard fairly bare though

Did I read in todays paper McGurk will miss the 15 man T20 squad?

Jake Fraser-McGurk, Australian cricket’s man of the moment, is set to miss out on selection for Australia’s Twenty20 World Cup squad.
The 22-year-old batter has had a sensational start to life in the IPL, producing three half-centuries in five matches to date, capped by Fraser-McGurk’s blistering 84 from just 27 balls in the Delhi Capitals’ victory over Mumbai on Saturday.

Allegedly set to miss out, so the selectors can give Warner one last hurrah (as if he hasn't had enough already) - despite Warner's form being so dire that he dropped himself from the IPL, and McGurk's form being the absolute highlight of the IPL.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Warner must really have some dirt to spill on the sandpaper thing

Insanity if true.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Yeah, the Australian bowlers who he had try to out.

 

[BACCS]

So the selectors clearly lied when they said the IPL would play a large part in the squad for the WC. They have completely ignored any form in the IPL and just gone with the 15 they probably had picked 3 months ago.

Not an Aussie, but Will Jacks went from 50 off 31 to making his 100 off 41 balls in the IPL last night... yep, that is right, last 50 off 10 balls

Wow. How was the breakdown of that. Doing the maths in my head 5 x 6 and 5X 4.

How is Wade in the squad ahead of Jake or Short?

We only need 1 keeper.

Anyone one of Warner, Wade or Stoinis could of been left out.

Agar is lucky there weren't many spin options.

No issue with Stoinis, he's having a decent IPL. Wade is the odd one out, very weird selection when JFM and Short have both missed.
