Should be a great game with some quality quicks and clean hitters of the ball strutting their stuff.Stumps wrote:shame at perti
should be a neutral ground - Adelaide oval ideally
Great to play on Adelaide Oval of course but I think these games are actually better played at club grounds. It's a great atmosphere at Pertaringa even if there's only a 'crowd' of 200 there.
Will probably get more than that too, their club seems to support these events really well.
I wonder if Travis Head and all the state boys will be allowed to play? There is a Shield game starting on Feb 3. Would be great to have Head, Cooper, Mennie all playing. Perhaps Mennie won't be as the Redbacks would be cotton-wooling their quicks with Richardson and Sayers getting a taste higher up but you'd hope the batters would play.
I can safely say, after experiencing finals on both AO and Perti, that playing finals at a local ground has a far greater atmosphere than AO. Its also a worthy reward for finishing higher than your opponent. As for crowd numbers and basic facilities for the spectators, it is hard to go past Perti as a venue. The club works tirelessly in its organization of the evening.
