State Cricket Movement

[Red Bear]

Still a pretty solid side (number 7 aside).

Solid side, but if Warner Clarke Watson are away it leaves the batting very thin

[Special]

Tbh this is a good thing for australian cricket that these guys are moving elsewhere. As much as everyone says they give you a baggy green when you get your baggy blue cap... NSW churn out the best kids. And they have a few that will now get regular games and hopefully fast track there development.

Surprised Paine turned down the offer WA made him, very big money, much more than Tassie offered.
Looks certain Triff will go as a result of it, pity, but a smart career move for him.

Steve Smith is a bit of an enigma.

He's the best fielder in Australia, but you surely can't get state contract offers when your best skill out of batting/bowling/fielding is the third of those options.

[Gus]

All well and good for us to get Hughes but we need to be able to bowl sides out on Adelaide oval.

[Axel.]

NSW could still field a side of


1-D.Warner
2-N.Maddinson
3-S.Watson
4-M.Clarke
5-S.Smith
6-K.Pattinson
7-B.Haddin+
8-S.O'Keefe*
9-P.Cummins
10-D.Bollinger
11-M.Starc

Copeland, Nev, Hazlewood, Henriques, Rohrer etc, with all these players leaving. dat production line (even if we are terrible this year, which wouldnt surprise me).

Really exited to see Pattinson play. Kid will be a star.

[Triptanes]

At least WA will have a wicketkeeper this season. Tom Triffitt signed for the next two years

No he's not. Right breeno.

I think it might eb Patterson and I mispelled it (well, copied from another thread more acurately), but yeah big things expected of him. Havent seen him bat personally but it's been hinted he's pretty open shouldered in the way he plays and would probably find facing quality fast bowling pretty difficult due to his technique - but on a flat track very effective.

He's a good batsmen at first class and List A level tbh. One Dayers he's a 3-4 (which is why he shouldnt be near the ODI side, not the best option at 3/4 and rubbish below that).

[James Pattinson]

Yeah, it's Kurtis Patterson too.

[Rumblah]

Had a pretty vivid dream last night of Steve Smith fly swatting (literally held the bat up and hit the ball down) and got caught and bowled.

Strong lolwut at my dream.

Solid signing from WA, Triffitt is a talent.

[TSYW]

Not sure I'm completely happy about us getting Khawjajajaja and Hauritz. Going to cost someone like Robinson, Lynn or Burns a spot at some stage (probably Lynn straight up), and will also make it very hard for Boyce to get a game. Some of our best young talent may stagnate if we're not careful.

[Rumblah]

If Hauritz gets the gig as #1 spinner you're in trouble. Is depth at best.

[breeno]

No he's not. Right breeno.

Correct.
