Mark Sorrell, who is coach of the redbacks hasn't had his contract renewed for next season. Sorrell has resigned from his role as coach immeaditely and won't see out the rest of the season. Jeff Vaughen will coach the team for the rest of the season but Jamie Cox made it clear they on the look for a new coach. Jamie sounded like a bit of a tool when he made the announcement IMO.
Interesting last 3 weeks for SA. The two wins down in Tasmania suprised me, they played really good cricket down there I thought. I had written them off after they lost to Queensland. Even against NSW in the shield game, I thought they played pretty well against a team who SA haven't defeated in yonks in first class cricket. The Ryobi cup game was disappointing to go down like that, but SA played well enough in that game as well. Injuries don't help much either tbf..
Some random thoughts..
- It seems that both the batting and bowling are a bit inconsistent as usual. This season is repeating last season in some ways.
-Harris and Smith have both been dropped for the side. It's a shame because when Smith first came onto the scene he looked very promising.
- Klinger has been below average this season but he has carried the team in the last two seasons anyway.
- Blizzard shouldn't open the batting at all for the Redbacks as he looks much more comfortable in the middle order.
- O'Brien needs to make more substantial contributions in first class cricket with either bat or ball. It's no use taking 2/70 or making 30 odd with the bat all the time.
- Edmondson looked very quick in the shield game that I went to, he looks to be back in some decent bowling form. George's action and run up look a little better then about a month ago.
- Dan Christian, what a ****ing gun!
I ended up going to day 2 of NSW vs SA where Hauritz toned up.
