***Official***Australian Domestic Season Thread 2009/2010

[stephen]

Whats that like 4 losses in a row in the final for victoria?





Mark Cleary is set to make a welcome return to the bowling line-up. Daniel Christian will return from Australian duties (flying direct to Brisbane) and Graham Manou will also resume Shield duties.

The Redbacks will need to secure an outright win against the Bulls to keep their finals hopes alive.

The team will be on the road for the remaining fortnight of the domestic season and this will therefore be the local media’s last opportunity to secure footage and interviews.

Confident we can win this match. Good to see where playing at the GABBA which is usually a green top and a result wicket. Great to see Cleary back, he will be good for George having a decent opening bowler from the other end.

Putland to be 12th man.

I hope you don't win

Ridgway is a bit of a mischevious one. Every year Casey-South Melbourne (the team he coaches) are recruiting from far and wide, seem to get connected to every player going around.

Is there any chance of Sam Miller getting picked up by a Victorian side with a view to a state contract? After a stack of 70's and 80's finally got his first ton for us on saturday in grade with a decent 139*, also smashed them in the final of that Victorian T20 comp for his club side down there.

 

[vic_orthdox]

There were quite a few suitors for him this year, played some big shots at him. Obviously the offer of Futures League cricket was the highest priority. Not sure what will go on, but again, there'd be a number of teams keen to acquire his services.

 

[pasag]

Think the solution for Vic is to kick any Collingwood fans out of the side.

Stuey Clark back in for the Shield, and captaining.

 

[Noble One]

Doesn't strike me as captaincy material. Seems such a laid back guy Clark.

Also noticed in local community newspaper last week a wonderful photo of our resident moderator almost having his head knocked off by a bumper. Well done on scoring a 50 though.

The shield game at the Gabba tomorrow is almost certain to be a washout. Serious rain has set in up here and it doesn't look like abating before the weekend.

Haha, are you a Boroondara boy too?

Think it must've been a blue moon recently.

That sucks, hopefully it does subside.

Wow thread name changed what will it be next.
Forgot alex keith was offered a 50 thou contract a year for 3 seasons,heard he recruited by brisbane,it will be interesting what happens.
He has 1 year of school left so we will see,would like to see him go to the champions trophy,vics a real chance this year.
Vic not just ridegway,melbourne sides like sydney sides are good at recruiting foreign and interstate talent.
George bailey said he keen for tas to keep denton,wants him for another year,he only 34 thought he was older.
Dunno who this other tassie player ridgeway talking about,only can think birt as he is not in the shield team.

 

[brockley]

Hey how come my thread was usurped the season is nearly over.
What happens when this season is over,no thread.
I am very ******* off.

 

[Spikey]

Presumably somebody starts the "Offical Australian Domestic Off-Season Thread" when the off-season starts.

 

[brockley]

Why not before,this is when the rumours usually start.
If i start using this as the rumours thread i will be shouted off the board for not using it for the current season

We could just rename it once the season's over to something more appropriate. Post a reminder when the time rolls around, until then I guess just keep it all in here just to avoid cluttering the main page.

Well given that half of Brisbane is set to flood, unless Kevin Mitchell Jr is a magician with some powerful dark magic up his sleeve there will not be play tomorrow. I would not be surprised if the outfield is too wet to play on, even if it stopped raining.

Nah. These grounds have great drainage. I'd say they will get play underway on time today. It's not raining at the moment, and the sun is out so if it doesn't get underway on time it won't be long after 10 before it does.

Have sat in the stands while a torrential storm passed over the ground, literally dropped a crap load of rain on the ground, as the puddles were forming they just as quickly disappeared. The storm lasted for about 10 minutes and then 1/2 an hour later they were resuming play.

I know the drainage is excellent at the Gabba these days, but it's been raining for a loooong time now. Undoubtedly it will start back up again some time today.

 

[Kylez]

Play at the Gabba, QLD are batting.

George and Putland opening the bowling, Haberfield is 12th man..stupid IMO.

Cleary and George should be opening the bowling, with Haberfield at first change. But if Putland is going to play he has to open the bowling.
