Sheffield Shield Season 2015/2016

[The Bedge]

Why isnt some younger lads like a Patrick Page Jnr in the squad?

Probably because he still has another 2 years of under 19's left I think.

Both Johnson and Drew are too old for 19's so this is the next squad they put them in.

Ah of course, I forgot he played 17's this year because he also played 19's!

Phil Jacques to coach QLD

The first and last statements are questionable!

'South Australia's successful emerging redbacks program' and

'The emerging redbacks program continues to produce quality cricketers'

Hmmmm

Didn't a few players from the program make it onto the senior list this year? That's a starting point at least. Whilst performances were average again last year at least there seems to be a few more South Aussies coming through.

Benton, Valente and Nielsen would be a start.....

Fantastic that those guys get a shot. Sure beats getting average cricketers from interstate like we've done repeatedly in the past.

What was wrong with TheO???

On a positive note for the Redbacks at least they have never been as bad as Leciestershire who have just won their first match since 2012 or 992 days

The win had plenty of Aussies on the team with Mark Cosgrove skipper, Clint McKay opening the bowling and the brother of Sam Robson (Aussie born opener for England for 7 Tests last summer), Angus and Andrew McDonald coaching......

Heard a whisper that Chadd Sayers has had to have another bout of surgery on his ankle and is out for 4 months

Hope it's not true

Heard the same. Jake Haberfield back and training with the squad im let to believe.

[Tony Clifton]

Always liked Haberfield. Would be a decent inclusion

Interested to see the influence Schwerdt has on the playing groups fitness and how that impacts performance.

Hopefully this is the year Head finally goes on to hit some big scores as well!
