Is he injured?

Siddle and Nannes, sure. But for one, Wise is now in South Australia colours and for two, the others, whilst excellent bowlers, are all in and out of the side due to injuries generally. Victoria produces lots of good but fragile quicks. haha

Due to his age and raw speed, I'd back Saj to get a spot above most of them if he came over within the next year or two.

Haha no, no - was talking about Darren Pattinson in relation to those bowlers.

And yeah, I guessed some stuff might have changed, it usually does. I don't tend to follow interstate off-season movement much, just see who's on which teamsheets at the start of the year and take it from there.

Is he injured?

Saj himself again now? Yep, went down about 3 weeks ago or so. Replaced by someone who does a decent job of looking like he's even worse, Oliver Newby. Apparently he's preferred to the far more accurate Kyle Hogg because he's a few mph quicker.

..You seem to have a fairly strong disliking of Saj

 

[Richard]

Not a dislike at all, seems a perfectly decent fellow. But I do think he's a terrible bowler by Test standards, and not a very good one by county standards.
