Australian off season domestic 2012/13

Mallett channelling Brumbeh:

We shouldn't be encouraging chuckers, and he's got a very questionable action. So I hope he can bat.

will probably be opening by seasons end tbh

And this is such a great point:

I'm just amazed they've gone outside to appoint a captain who knows nothing about the Shield scene here."

Domestic cricket, like grade, is so much about knowing your opposition players. Botha wouldn't have seen 90% of the players he'll play against in four day cricket. Yeah he'll get help from Klinger I imagine, but no way would he be in a better position to captain.

how do you know he doesn't watch the streams????

Once read an article saying that Botha doesn't have unlimited downloads.

They're the wrong region though, so he can't play them on his DVD player.

 

[Spikey]

SA put them on an USB just in case that was a problem

and they remembered to send the usb

Wonder if he will get called,sure ended Aaron Bird's career.
Gather Sam Robson made his mind up to play for England.
He won't be the last Aussie to jump ship.

Transcript of the one I just sent:

Greetings Kind Sirs,

It has come to my attention that a great injustice is being done by the New South Wales Blues Selection Committee at present. A young Australian with English heritage, one Samuel Robson, has been scoring an abundance of runs in Grade cricket for the past few seasons, and yet has been overlooked for gentlemen with far inferior records, namely Scott Henry and Tim Cruickshank (or selecting a side made up entirely of bowlers).

Mr. Robson is clearly a talent who deserves to be playing First Class Cricket, overseas player or not, and in an era where a not-quite-good-enough South African spinner can captain South Australia, I cannot fathom why he has not been offered a New South Wales contract.

Please, end this injustice - THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!

P.S. This e-mail is actually serious, I figured it would be ignored anyway, so why not write it as if I was a crackpot with an overworked thesaurus?
P.P.S. He's a decent bat, and you guys couldn't score runs without Nev last year, so....

Figured it wouldn't do anything anyway, may as well creep out some Cricket NSW people.

The things you think of in (effectively) the early hours of Monday morning...

Superb effort.

Vic_oxthdox should be able to provide us with some direct email addresses imo

Aren't all the cricketers on Twitter anyway? Close enough to direct email surely.
Says the guy who has no idea how to use Twitter.
