**Official** Australian Domestic Season 2013/14

[Spikey]

Nev sorted it out

Over 12.4: Abbott to Cooper, no run, OUT, looks to hit to leg and swings this way up in the air, well taken by the keeper

 

[Burgey]

Dermo Abbott getting it done here.

 

[Nate]

Terrible slips efforts. Nev the man for a crisis.

 

[Nate]

Has anyone seen much of Abbott in First Class? He doesn't seem to do much with the white ball, just wondering if he gets much movement with the red cherry.

 

[Carn_the_pies]

Cant wait to see VICCO Patto back in full flight and NSW Birdman.

 

[Spikey]

you don't actually pay attention to domestic cricket, do you

 

[Carn_the_pies]

Why would you say that?

 

[Top_Cat]

Over 31.2: Rohrer to Botha, five penalty runs, this is through everyone and hits the helmet behind the keeper, that's 5 penalty runs to win the game,

Wheels really falling off here, fancy giving Rohrer a go with the pill.

 

[Tangles]

Not enough bowlers.

 

[morgieb]

LOL South Australia trying to choke.

I'm glad we picked Manjot in that game. Tremendous contribution; really balanced the side well by batting #10, being the sixth bowlier used in each innings, bowling less overs than Henriques in both of them and going wicketless.

I've got nothing against the kid but giving him such a pointless role in the side doesn't do anyone much good. Having one more batsman in the first innings really could've made a massive difference too.

South Australia leading the Shield table?

 

[benchmark00]

I think that's Riggins on the left.



Top Cat is riding him.

 

[Carn_the_pies]

Wait till Victorian pride Vicco Patto gets back.

South Australia leading the Shield table?

As I said earlier in the thread, pretty good side on paper this season. They're still so typically South Australia when you watch them bat and their balance is a bit off because Ludeman is so bad, but they've got some quality Shield cricketers.

 

[Carn_the_pies]

Have SAussie actually produced any test players in the last 10 years?

 

[benchmark00]

Andrew McDonald the obvious one.

 

[benchmark00]

Saussie pride.

Having Hughes for what looks like the majority of the season is probably what makes the difference, tbh. Klinger/Ferguson/Cooper/Head are all solid enough domestic players of reasonable quality, but Hughes gives them a high-quality rock to build their batting unit around.

Ludeman and Botha screw their balance so badly. Always look either a batsman or bowler short.
