***Official 08/09 Sheffield Shield comp***

Not sure about the Banjos. Kaspa and Birchell are either gone or in Zimmer frames, so the only bowler of any note is Noffke. Batting doesn't look too spectacular either.

Yeah my hard earned won't be going anywhere near them.

hughes aside the spivs are on par with the barrels for talent...you have no bowlers

Aye. Almost by a process of elimination (and no wishing to woof the Spivs), I keep coming back to the Tozzies.

Except that we will have the same side as last year. Oh that's right, we WON.

Anywho, h, must away. Tis all yours for a few hours.

Jack's gawn ...Magoo's gawn ...Eggs in the baggygreen ...

Bubbles ...ferny (but not in JAMODI time) ...Horrorz?...Moises?...Flu (unless the protractor comes out) ...Who else?

thanx embee...you can always be counted on to state the obvious

Wozziers

Best XII

Liam Davis/Wes Robinson/Craig Simmons/Clint Heron/David Bandy
Paris
Bog
Pombasher
Hank
Ollie
Raunchy
Achilles
Midge
Honky
Eddo
MacMuffin

For the Test season Paris and Midge should be missing ...could either have 2 of the 5 as the openers ...or promote bog to open and have Doropolous at 6

If achilles is left out ...North and Voges will have to do a lot of bowling ...Bandy , Doropolous , Robinson and Pombasher can also bowl

Not much back up bowling ....Kelly...and a heap of untried guys

Johnson is a reasonable back up keeper if Ronchi gets a promotion

Wozzies have 3 M Johns(t)on's in their squad

I'm guessing 'Hank' is some bloke called Williams? Or Marvin?

Voges

Hehehe, tis the fun of deciphering MB's posts. Can slow down the triv responses though, as I try to figure out WTF he is talking about.

They're all well known or reasonably straight forward

Hank is his official T20 nickname

from the cyclist

Henk Vogels

Wozzies aren't always the brightest

To Wozzie hillbillies, maybe.

They're fine once I've worked 'em out (and yes, they are usually quite straight forward) but when you are firing them at a triv question, it can slow me up a tad.

...gives me more time to hunt down the answer

Ah, crafty Wozzieness.

The bi-cranails will bounce back. Most of the other states are full of once-was-promisings (with the exception of SA who are still full of absolutely sweet Frankie Avalon). and Tassie have a few blokes who'll fall sqarely into that category if they don't move very soon.

Aye Nerky. I think lardy's boys are worthy of some unattractive odds to get their 2nd title.

If I was Fabulous Phil Hughes I'd be very concerned about Horrie's unstinting support.

I'd also be worried about repeating Ian Davis and Bad Hodge's second seasons as well as their first.

Meh, tis all a horrie ruse.

Surely Queensland will be short priced favourites to win the Shield this season? Ryan Harris is up here now. Enough said.

Hehehe, Banjo optimism is boundless.

I had to check his Cricinfo profile to make sure I had his name right.

I'm a bit disappointed that they gave him a contract. Would have preferred to see a young local like Worrin Williams make the team.

So- who have my stinky Vics team got new in this year?
