Australian Domestic Season 2024/25

[whufc]

Entering that last over, I think we could have ended up at the break anywhere between 1st and 5th

With that final excursion from the crease by Meredith, it ensured we are 1st and not 3rd

Amazingly we have 3 in the Test team, and are first in both comps - something to savour until we aren't!

On the back of an incredible turn out and result in the Adelaide Test. South Australian cricket is at an all time high! I blame Premier Cricket!

Two divisions instant success. SACA geniuses.

Better coach is underestimated

Geez cricket in this state would be stuffed if it wasnt for the boys from the northern end of town.

Has there ever been a bigger choke in cricket? Tas needed 7 to win off 9 balls with 4 wickets in hand with all the fielders on the fence. How could you possibly lose ????

I can nominate one. There's been two tied matches in Shield cricket. The second was in 1976/77 when Queensland needed two to win with three wickets in hand and was run out in three consecutive deliveries going for it. This was the second match of the three that put David Hookes' name in lights to be picked for the Centenary Test:

Not the greatest looking line up for SA back in those days. Remember it like yesterday Hooksey bursting on to the National scene on the back of 5 tons in 6 Innings
Crowd for the match 6707 with Gate receipts of $3657 Remarkably probably still better than todays figures. Certainly the crowd figure and even the money

Australian cricket’s domestic One-Day Cup competition winners will lift the Dean Jones Trophy from this summer onwards after cricket.com.au's #NameTheCup campaign reached its conclusion.

The perpetual trophy for the annual limited-overs tournament first introduced as a 40-over competition in 1969-70 has been named in honour of Dean Jones after Cricket Australia endorsed the naming recommendation put forward by the Australian Cricket Hall of Fame Committee.

In addition to the naming of the competition's trophy, the committee also named the Player of the Final award the Michael Bevan Medal to acknowledge Bevan’s incredible record and contribution to the limited-overs format.

The Dean Jones Trophy and Michael Bevan Medal will be presented for the first time at the Final on March 1.

Excellent result.

Shield season resumes tomorrow - half of WA's side is injured or in Sri Lanka.. surely the Redbacks can extend the lead at the top of the table.

Our 3 best players are in Sri Lanka too.....

All sides are still a chance to make the final at this point of the season.....or finish bottom.

SA need to win both or a win and a draw in the next 2 games and then I might start thinking about chances to play in the final!

FFS forgot about McSweeney!

Was thinking it was only really Carey missing - Head hasn't played a game this season has he?

WA Missing: Connolly, Marsh, Green, Richardson, Whiteman, Bancroft, McKenzie, Morris

Still plenty of fire power with the ball though.
