Sounds like he's hedging his bets.

Anyone that wont commit should be made irrelevant to Oz

Robelinda, sensitive soul, has posted the following video in response to Gannon's test results.

I'm backing "SIX OF DOOM" for the IPL7

 

[Riggins]

where do y'all think fincheh is headed?

 

[Spikey]

article did say NSW, and that does seems possible. could allow henry to go the other way too.

 

[Riggins]

would he start in your ss team?

 

[Spikey]

yeah probably. I mean, a non-full strength team anyway. he'd have to open, but assuming we are dumping dawson and cruickshank there's room. and obviously if it ends up being a trade of sorts and henry goes the other way...

most teams probably wouldn't mind taking the a punt on finch as an opener. could see wa doing it

 

[Riggins]

why would scooter leave nsw?

 

[Spikey]

vic love him

mcdonald would bat 3-4 if he went to sa right?

 

[Riggins]

surely. they seem to love ferg @ 4 so maybe 3 when hughes away, 5 with hughes. i think it would be good to give trav head a chance to bat 6 and have a bit less on his plate for maybe the first 4 or 5 games or so.

When players go play for another BBL team in a different state the state teams must **** themselves. Pastures always look greener and you never know what is being said behind closed doors. I don't really like it because I've always been the sort of bloke who wants the SS to be won by the team with the best home grown talent, and I know people have been moving states for decades and decades, but now it's just more likely to occur,

 

[uvelocity]

yeah but they aren't state teams, they're independent city based franchises!

nah youre right

 

[vic_orthdox]

vic love him

mcdonald would bat 3-4 if he went to sa right?

Don't think he'd want to.

 

[Spikey]

u calling him chicken?

 

[Spikey]

Zampa accepts SA carrot

I really don't get

Ultimately, what it comes down to is South Australia can guarantee him games in all three formats which is something we can't do due to our squad.''

. though.

Update:

The whole Muirhead thing is hilarious. Does Berry have a daughter? Wouldn't be surprised if he offered her up soon.

I'm not sure which would make it funnier in the end - Muirhead actually being exactly as gun as Berry hopes but playing for Victoria instead anyway, or Muirhead moving to South Australia and being a huge flop at First Class level.

Muirhead actually being exactly as gun as Berry hopes, but playing for NSW instead, and SA getting the huge fine.

 

[vic_orthdox]

Surely the fact that Berry is up for tapping up Muirhead means that the kid will probably stay, as he and his manager would have to be providing information on Berry's approaches.

 

[Spikey]

look buddy, muirhead staying wouldn't be the funniest possible result

 

[uvelocity]

if they poached nev would you move to adelaide too

 

[uvelocity]

and we cant due to our squad probably means okeefe is locked in for captain again already
