Australian Domestic Off Season 2019.
Ed Cowan,Doug Bollinger and Michael Klinger retired,but Klinger will play the Big Bash.
Suspensions for Smith,Warner and Bancroft can't play domestic cricket,except grade cricket.
Joel Logan Spinner from NT played in Futures for South Australia,moved to Tasmania.He will probably cover Cameron Boyce who has been released from the Tasmanian Side.
Cricket Australia contracts due in April.

It's utterly moronic that the bans of Smith and Warner apply to domestic cricket as well, it could have been a good thing for Australia to have our two best batsman play a whole Shield season. Just proves what was well established during the pay dispute, Sutherland and his band of suits have an ignorant and dismissive view of the domestic scene.

The pair could have fixed NSW cricket too...

Victoria wise - Quiney retired, Sam Harper looking elsewhere under assumption that Gotch is ahead of him, I'd imagine that Perrin and Stevenson will be back as not really fancied by the new Cricket Tasmania regime. There was some talk about Vics being interested in Beau Webster around the time of the BBL, not sure if anything will come to fruition with him having a strong finish to the season playing all games for Tas after.

Harper looked real ordinary in what little I saw of him (for First-class standard). Whereas as Gotch has been impressive. Not surprising that he's giving up for now.

 

[Gnske]

Might as well stay tbh, he's just going to be a back up everywhere else he goes.

Did Brad Haddin quietly board the plane back to Sydney with Smith...?

And yes, this is true

at the very least they could have made it, and I think this is particularly suitable for Bancroft, so that if they're on track to met the "compulsory voluntary service" in October they can play in the shield

Andrew Fekete returns to Victoria for family reasons.Aiden Blizzard returns to Victoria.

 

[vic_orthdox]

Is there a source on Fekete?

 

[brockley]

Mercury Sport.

 

[vic_orthdox]

Thanks. Passed it on to our committee haha, they've been waiting for the day he announces that!

 

[Prince EWS]

Could be bad news for Peter Siddle.

 

[NUFAN]

Could be bad news for Peter Siddle.

Now thats the biggest cricket story of the past week.

 

[Spikey]

define "bad"

 

[TheJediBrah]

Could be bad news for Peter Siddle.

Probably done his dash anyway. Though I thought that last year too.

It'll be annoying for a young guy like Xavier Crone who's been groomed for the last couple years, constantly 12th man

Planning for NSW is interesting.

The following batsmen averaged over 40 with 350+ runs for NSW Metro & ACT/NSW Future teams.

1. Daniel Solway 416 @ 41.60
2. Justin Avendano 425 @ 47.22
3. Jay Lenton 538 @ 53.80
4. Nick Bertus 374 @ 53.42 (Burgey's Bertmentum)

Better than contracted Jordan Gauci, Ryan Gibson, Arjun Nair

From u19 cricket Param Uppal and Tom Engelbrect who both bat and bowl seemingly adjusted well to Futures cricket with strong performances. Jack Edwards did alright although much expected from Jason Sangha after scoring a 100 against England but couldn't do much in Futures.

The spin bowling and seam bowling seems so disorganised and unsure of pecking orders seemingly due to their mixed selections.

Uppal finished the side in the Shield; I expect him to stay there. He fits the balance of the side really well as a batting allrounder who bowls off breaks, especially when O'Keefe is fit as it gives them spinners turning it either direction, and he finished the season pretty strongly in general.

I suspect of the rest of the Futures guys Sangha is still at the head of the pack, because the only batsmen with truly impressive performances to leap-frog him were the two wicket keepers who I don't think NSW Cricket are keen on as specialist batsmen. Avendano scored most of his runs in one innings, and he's a proper ACT guy too rather than a "NSW Country" guy.

I think Uppal does stay in the mix for NSW but 72 runs @ 18 and no wickets for 80 in his 2 Shield games doesn't appear pretty strong to me.

EDIT - You will probably include his futures performance which got him selected.

I meant in Futures. Didn't make SeamUp's stats cutoffs because he didn't play much (was overseas), but he was good there after he came back from the World Cup. I don't think he made any runs in grade cricket though and obviously he didn't set the world alight in his two Shield games.

EDIT: Haha beaten to it.
