Domestic movements for 2008/09

I didn't realise Rogers was having a sook over Perth way - so it says here.

"THREE states are locked in a battle to secure Chris Rogers for next cricket season after the opening batsman quit Western Australia in a bitter split.

Queensland, South Australia and Victoria have all made offers to Rogers, 30, who made his Test debut in Perth in January against India and must now decide where to pursue his goal of getting back into the Australian side.

Rogers admitted he was aggrieved at being continually left out of the Warriors' one-day side last summer while seeking a national call-up, on top of being overlooked for state captaincy and vice-captaincy.

But WA coach Tom Moody hit back, saying he had been told by Australian chairman of selectors Andrew Hilditch that Rogers was not being considered for the national one-day side and Moody believed Rogers was unlikely to earn the captaincy at either Queensland or Victoria."

...

He'll be opening the batting, opening the bowling, keeping wicket AND captain at the Sozzies.

Just heard that he is going to Victoria.

Just look what a successful domestic season did to help all those Vixen into the national team.

Craig phillipson to SA usman khawajah to tas.

klinger to the jellybacks....woody has put out a near libellous release re ginga

What is Usman thinking?! He's just thrown his brown paper bag in the rubbish bin.

has henry become more spiv like or have the spivs become mudgified???

As Trev obvioulsy likes brown boys, I guess he'll be a Tassie fan from next season . . . lucky Tasmania

he would seem to be spiv to the core...just one of the boys ...at home with you lot etc

Also, Damo Wright is going to Victoria.

WTF will Tozzie do without their two main men?

Hilfy & Geeves have both been approached by Qld. Bailey has been approached by SA as a possible captain & Dawson has been approached by NSW however the TCA are confident Tas will retain all their players.

Blimey, all of a sudden the whole country wants a piece of us. Brown-noses, the lot of 'em, they can bugger off back to their mainland eyries and leave us alone to work out how to win another Shield (some time this century).

Why would NSW want Dawson?

Ahhh, OK. Not sure where I heard the Hilf/Wright rumours... maybe I made them up?

Thats if dawson gets a contract.

Rogers is now officially a Victorian (for better or worse)

Buck had to take what he could get after his CA contract was pulled.

Gives us a great top six. Hopefully it'll solve our top-order crabbing problem too.

You are sick

well i guess we do need at least one crab there...i am however concerned that this not halt the development of Finchy who is a kid and who made a mountain of runs for geelong

Finch might not be ready anyway, he hardly scored a run in the second half of the season. Jewell will need to increase his output though, he was mediocre this season.

And aye at Woody.

It did make me think of the dog vomitting after sex though

Klinger is officially a Sozzie now.

I guess that really qualifies him for a section 8 ....

Are the Tozzies trying to disperse all their weirdo-named players in an attempt to be taken seriously?
