[brockley]

Cheers Spikey .
There was talk last season Adam Crossthwaite would step up for Nevill,depends where Ryan Carters bats,he surely couldn't do a Tim Paine and open and keep.Jamie Crossthewaite moved to Manly club to take up a new job,may take Adam's spot if he plays in the Shield.

[Spikey]

So Solway and Lenton are the respective keepers. I didn't know Solway could keep. I suspect Carters will get the ODers and then Lenton starts in the shield, just because he's a bit older and been around the set-up for longer.

 

[Dan]

Get Crosthwaite back in there!

(please don't)

Has anyone heard whether Shane Watson has retired from Shield Cricket? NSW desperately needs another bowling option in their best XI :P

Also, does anyone know when the 6 states select Matador 15 man squads? I'm asking this question more to know when the CA XI can select their team as you'd think they'd need a little bit of time to prepare together.

 

[brockley]

Shane Watson retired from Sheffield Shield,but not domestic One dayers and Big Bash.
Last I Heard Chris Rogers won't be playing for the Vics,and will coach the Vic under 19 side.

[NUFAN]

Thanks mate. It is a bit of a shame that literally no-one continues to play Shield Cricket after having a lengthy Test career. I don't blame them though and NSW isn't exactly the state that needs the experienced ex-Test player.

Cheers for the update too. I think Sandhu should be over in England at the moment.

 

[brockley]

I am hoping Sandhu goes 2 Bangladesh and bowl his mediums as well as his offies.The new Funky Miller.

 

[Spikey]

The guys that are test specialists sometimes play on.

 

[Tangles]

Who was the last one? Hussey maybe?

 

[Dan]

Ponting played on for a while, as did Katich.
