Sheffield Shield 2024/25

Dubbers add Maddinson and Phillipe to their team

I hope Shippy can get the best out of Flippa

At least there is more "potential" in those 2 players than in the current lot of ordinary Grade players.

That’s a body blow for us

youll cover Maddo easily

over rated

Averages around 50:with us made a great comeback, surprised he has returned to Sydney.

Pity all the asterisks will barely play a game.

Jason Sangha cut; bit of a shock.

Bird’s last season, you’d think. Clearly there to coach.

Sangha never really realised the early great potential that he showed. No doubt moving elsewhere, he will.

Thanks Yoda

Monty Burns not offered a contract by Qld after a poor season last year. A real "nearly man". Some outstanding performances for State and Country without ever really locking a national spot, mainly due to his propensity for trying to glide balls through Third Man across the line. A genuine "c Slipper b Bowler" candidate, that cost him in the end. Play straight, man, but it's all a bit late.

And Matt Kuhnmann has moved to Tas in an effort for more Shield time.

Good luck to both.

He didn't have a poor season. 446 runs @ 37.17 was a decent effort in bowler friendly conditions. It was more a case of looking to the future. He will be 35yo next season & selectors would rather pick younger batsmen.

He finished his Shield career with 7361 runs @ 39.58. I agree that he had limitations as an opening batsman & often wonder why he didn't bat in the middle order where he began both his Shield & Test careers.

I stand corrected, W.

I feel his fielding let him down a bit at Test level too.

And he badly needed a hair cut.

... or at least a wash?

I also note Marcus Harris is sitting on 174* for Leics, but it is only against Direby.  Not much else seems to have occurred in CC on day 1 of this round, though the scores are noticeably lower on average ... have they referred to Dukes balls?

stupid auto-correct ... that query should have read 'reverted'

Referred or reverted?

Poms are blaming the Kookaburra.

exactly

Snappo.

I think you've answered my question anyway.

Says it all.

Wozzies get Brody Couch from the Voms and Baxter Holt from the Dubbers

The white ballers only ( including Agar) have dropped off the contract list....free to play T20 global circuit
