Nah mate im sticking to the old prune juices....
I hadn't heard that but don't rule it out; I'm a bit out of the loop at the minute. I would say that Dave Fitzgerald is safe for now. With Ben Cameron breathing down his neck, that might change very quickly. John Davison is most certainly safe for the one-dayers at least and did hit some valuable runs last year in the 4-day comp. He bowled relatively well too but they'll need more from him this year. And Ben Johnson would be pretty safe I'd say..I wonder if fitzgerald,davo and johnson will get contracts for next season,i know the redbacks are lining up daniel cullen for the spinners job next season.
I think that might be a little bit unfair on him. How many 21 year olds in Australia are better than him? I'm not saying there aren't any, but Ervine is up there.Top_Cat said:Hate to say it but Sean Ervine probably wouldn't break into the Aussie side. His batting's reasonable but his bowling wouldn't be penetrative enough for the selectors. The only place I could see him challenging would be Brad Hogg's but Hoggie is a far superior fielder. Mind you, there's 10 years between them so it's not out-of-the question and let's face it, Ervine certainly has plenty of room to improve sowho knows; in a year of Pura Cup cricket he could be a demon bowler and a Cairns-like hitter!
I haven't been doing much sniping on it recently, but Streak may end up in NSW (as we've seen posted a few times now). I don't think they are overly interested in signing up rebels, they are just after Inness and a middle order batsman from what I've gathered.Craig said:Andre, do you know if NSW has made any offers to any of the Zimbabwean rebels? I know they have signed Matthew Mott from Victoria and will be involved in a coaching role in the NSW 2nd XI, but have they made any other offers or is it too early to tell?
Or they going to go with the youngsters or talented up-and-comers in the Sydney first grade scene from what you know off?
What is Ed Cowan like? Good enough for a regular spot?Andre said:I haven't been doing much sniping on it recently, but Streak may end up in NSW (as we've seen posted a few times now).

Sydney Grade talent isn't as strong as in the past but it's still strong, so expect some handy players coming through and regular grade heroes like Grant Lambert and Dominic Thornely should cement places this summer if all goes to plan. Take into account last years 2nd XI coach is now head coach, so youngsters might make the step a little easier with some comfort in the coaching staff.
Certainly looks the goods. What's more important though is if he handle's the step from grade of first-class.Craig said:What is Ed Cowan like? Good enough for a regular spot?
