I made this thread so people from all over the world can spread their views about Australian State cricket (Big Bash 20:20, ING and PURA Cup's). The 1st thing i want to say is that former Australian keeper and veteran of a whole 2 ODI's has decided to retire as the WA batsmen-wicketkeeper as the age of 33. He was a very talented player and as the underrstudy of Gilchrist at WA he also became the understudy for Australai for quite a while and played for Aus A. He was also an innovative batsmen who invited a new stroke (Gilly has invented a few himself) called the spoon, which is where he goes down and flicks the ball over the keepers head, it is very effective and got him countless runs. Well DOne Cambos on a great Career. |

A few team changes looming for the 06/07 season. Nathan Hauritz (Off Spinner formerly of QLD) who made his test debut in the final test of the '04 India tour, has moved to NSW in an attempt to rectify his dwindling career. Since his 1 and only test match Hauritz has produced pretty much nothing by meat pies to opposing batsmen and has looked anything but test quality. Beau Casson, another spinner, has moved from WA to a more spin friendly SCG pitch and hopes to, like hauritz, make an impact for NSW and on the National selectors. Brad Williams, who played several tests for Australia whe India toured in '03 has been dropped from the Western Australian team. Williams has had 2 years of injury troubles, and has looked half the bowler he once was, it is rumoured that he was looking to get a contract in QLD, but i've heard nothing of this since. ------------- 5-0 You Beauty!!!!!

You recalled correctly sledg Personally as a queenslander, i hope he doesn't come to queensland, we have to find a few more youngsters, Bic & Kaspa can't play forever!! and williams is getting on a bit now. Mitchell Johnson is still improving, and whilst watson is still playing state cricket, these 2 will lead the attack once Kaspa & Bic retire. James hopes will provide the back-up, but apart from that no names stand-out to come into the attack, ashley knoffke is not the answer, maybe this coming season we will see a few young speedsters get a chance. ------------- 5-0 You Beauty!!!!! Thanks for the many fantastic memories Marto, Langer, Warney & Pidg |
, they dropped him for 1 match, and rightly so, as he'd be bowling about equivalent to mick lewis' effort of 0-113, he then did his top and refused to play, making the situation worse. I supposed quite rightly his contract was not renewed (or torn-up, cannot remember). You've got to take the good with the bad, and williams was never much good at the later.Posted By: Sledger

He could well become the leper of Australian cricket then! Getting a reputation as a troublemaker in the dressingroom isn't going to do him any favours. Morale is vital to any team , trouble in the dressingroom has a way of finding it's way onto the field. ------------- Mental disintegration works for me !! |

I always look foward to the Australian domestic summer all competitons are fiercely fought and the quality of the cricket is world class. Seems like anybody who can bowl spin wants to go to NSW, who gave Hauritz a contract so must still rate him. I think QLD will continue on with another good year Kaspa, Bichel, Love, Maher all going round again. SA could be the improvers.

I'm 100% behind you there ozzie. They have a host of young players, most of who look like threatening for national selection sometime in the next 4/5 years. Spinners Dan Cullen & Cullum Bailey had fantastic seasons last year, Mark Cosgrove hit back after being told to lose weight, Tait we all know about, Paul rofe continues to bowl tight, and take wickets, only callum ferguson didn't feature last season mainly due to injures though. Each of the afore mentioned players are all under 25 as well, so SA definetly will be a threat this year, especially when you add seasoned campaigners like Blewett & Lehman!! ------------- 5-0 You Beauty!!!!!

Tasmania has unfurled 3/4 bright young prospects in the last 2 seasons. Travis Birt & George Bailey have been playing fantastic in the middle order, thus earning them selection in the Aust. A squad. Ben Hilfenhaus, a 22 y/o quick has earnt a spot at the Academy of excellence after a profitable year with the ball, and Tim Paine, a young keeper who opens the batting in their limited overs team. Add to that Chris Hartley, yet another brilliant queensland keeper, he's only 5'8 or 5'9, but is closing fast on brad haddin, and he's only 23. Not only is his keeping fantastic, he's proved more than handy with the bat, while chris is no adam gilchrist, he sure knows how to handle the willow, and has saved queensland quite a few times in both forms of the game.

The performance of the national team alone is a credit to the academy as well, ponting, warne, mcgrath are just a few to come through, and look where they are today!! ------------- 5-0 You Beauty!!!!!

Phil Jaques must be close to a full time test gig after his efforts in the Top End series and I am overjoyed to see Shane Watson get runs and wickets, the boy has real talent and if he can stay injury free can make a real impact on international cricket. I just hope Mitch Johnson & Shaun Tait can come on in the bowling beacuse we have heaps of batsman but the fast bowlers are a little thin. |

Yes, we do have great wickets to play on but depends were you play your cricket. I think it is more to do with the set up we have in place. Australia never seem to rush players into international cricket like other countries do, more emphasis on experience and a proven record in first class cricket. Which I think is a great idea. You can still get 70-80 tests out of somebody who makes their debut at 26-27 rather than 20-21 Michael Clarke a great example, young with plenty of talent but doesn;t have the experience to now his game well enough to hold his spot. Compared ti Mike Hussey who has honed his skill for years in first class cricket and just goesa from strength to strength in the top grade. |

I know next to nothing about Australian cricket other than theres only six teams. So heres a few Questions Which teams play where?, What are their nick-names?, In the national team who plays for which state team?, How many times do teams play each other per season in a league of six? whats the average attendances? who has the largest support? whose the biggest rivals? Why only six sides? How do teams scout & sign players? Which team if any is prominent? Well thats about it for now. ------------- Warwickshire County Cricket, Edgbaston Birmingham England.

1st things 1st, there are 2 competitions, the Pura Cup, which is our four day competition, and the ING Cup (new sponsor this coming season i think, can't remember who though sorry), which is the limited overs competition. In the Pura Cup, teams play each other twice over the course of the season, 1 home & 1 away match. At the end of the season, the 2 teams with the highest points play the final which is held at the higher ranked teams home ground. In the ING Cup, teams play each other 4 times, 2 home & 2 away, and again, at the end of the seaon the two highest teams play the final at the highest ranked teams home venue. The Queensland Bulls home ground is the Gabba. Players that are currently in the National Test & ODI teams are Matthew Hayden (Test) Shane Watson (ODI & Pushing for Test Selection) James Hopes (ODI) Mitchell Johnson (ODI) Andrew Symonds (ODI) The New South Wales Blues home ground is the SCG or Sydney Cricket Gound. Players that are currently in the National Test & ODI teams are Glenn McGrath (Test & ODI) Simon Katich (ODI) Michael Clarke (ODI and likely to come back into the test team for ashes) Stuart Clark (Test & ODI) Brett Lee (Test & ODI) Nathan Bracken (ODI) Phil Jaques (ODI & Test Frame) Victorian Bushrangers: Home ground = MCG (Melbourne Cricket Ground). Current national players include Shane Warne (Test) Brad Hodge (Fighting for a spot in both sides) Mick "Pie Chucker" Lewis (God help if they do select him to play in ICC champions trophy!!!) Tasmanian Tigers: Home Ground = Bellreive Oval. Current national players include Ricky Ponting (Test & ODI, 1st ever tasmanian to captain aust. just as a matter of interest) Travis Birt (Up & coming batsmen selected in the initial ICC Trophy 30 man squad) South Australian Redbacks: Home Ground = Adelaide Oval. Current national players include Jason Gillespie (In Test Frame) Mark Cosgrove (ODI) Daniel Cullen (ODI) Shaun Tait (ODI & Test Frame) West Austraila Warriors: Home Ground = WACA. Current National players include Adam Gilchrist (Test & ODI) Michael Hussey (Test & ODI) Justin Langer (Test) Damient Martyn (Test & ODI) Brad Hogg (ODI) Brett Dorey (ODI) I'm sad to say the average attendence at our domestic league matches is relatively low, getting 8,000 at an ING cup match is a good crowd if that says anything, depending on whose playing and their positions on the ladder. The Most Prominent teams in the competition atm are Queensland, Victoria & New South Wales. These three teams have dominated over the last few years in both competitons. However Western Australia is never to be ruled out in Limited Over matches. This doesn't mean that Tasmania or SA are poor by any means, both teams are improving with quite a few fantastic young prospects to come out of both states. I wouldn't rule SA out of anything this coming season! Why are there only six teams ?? We have 6 states (The current 6 teams) & 2 territories (ACT/Canberra and Norther Territory) in australia. The ACT was once part of the Limited Over competition, but that soon fizzled out as they were not competitive. The northern territory doesn't have a team because they simply don't have the facilities. Hope this helps you understand our domestic setup Flipper

Wow! excellent Clapo, what a post. I really appreciate the time and effort you put into that post, I'm sure theres a lot of folks on this site that have found this very informative. Mick "Pie Chucker" Lewis, too funny my friend. I first saw Mick in that match against S/A, yeah that game say no more!! Since then i've seen him this season over here playing for Durham where he's not been too bad. Would I be right in saying Darren Leaman played with Dizzy in Oz, over here in England they're never apart, good mates?

no probs mate.. yeah Lehman & Dizzy both play for South Australia and are reportably very food friends.... Mick Lewis isn't all to bad, i just find it hard to break a grudge against a bowler who leaked 110 runs in an ODI!!! He has been 1 of Victoria's best bowler for the past few seasons... but he has never been quite international class IMO, and that was blatantly obvious in the few ODI's he played.... ------------- 5-0 You Beauty!!!!!

This years domestic season will play a huge role in determining the next pecking order for our Young Spinners. The 4 who IMO have the Ability to take it to the International level are Cam White (Vic, Leg Spin), Daniel Cullen (SA, Off Spin), Cullen Bailey(SA, Leg Spin) & Daniel Doran (QLD, Leg Spin). Last year IMO, Doran was the most impressive. In just 89 overs he picked up 15 wickets at 28. His most impressive delivery, and spell, coming in the Pura Cup final against Victoria. Doran bowled a ball reminiscent to the "Gatting Ball" as he pitched it outside leg, gave it a rip, and pegged back David Hussey's off stump. If Doran Continues to improve at the rate in which he did in 05/06 this season, He'll definetly come into International Contention. Of the others, Cullen Bailey was probably the next most impressive, and whilst his stats don't read pretty (25 @ 48) he definetly has potential. Dan Cullen has currently got the wood on them all, however IMO he's vulnerable. He has a solid stock ball, and some nice variations, however both need vast improvement before he is going to be a genuine threat on FC stage, let alone Test Level. White is probably last in line ATM, his bowling has gone downhill since having the burden of Captaining the side AND being a vital middle order batsmen. If allowed to concentrate solely on his bowling, he defeintly has an internation career for mine!! Beleive it or not, he's still on 23!! ------------- 5-0 You Beauty!!!!!

The thing I must stress to our English members on this forum, is the reason why Aust. 1st class scene has been so strong is because there are only 6 teams , which means only 66 players (11 per side, plus ofcourse subs) ---> there is so much competition here to get a spot, also 1st class cricketers here get a decent salary and cna therefore dedicate time to improving their games; not to mentiont he academy. There are too many county teams in England and 20:20 can't be helping, not these int'l players (i.e. SPinners from the sub continent are playing ahead of potential English spinners) ------------- |

The new Australian domestic season has begun. It started on Thursday with the Ford Ranger cup replacing the ING sponsor when Queensland tackeled the Tasmian Tigers. Tasmania batted first with Xavier Doherty posting 53 has they slumped to 172 all out Queensland chased down the total with 9 wickets to spare Hayden top scored with 91. Western Australia batted first against Victoria with Luke Ronchi & Adam Voges smashing half centuries both could be future prospects for Australia. Shane Harwood took career best figures of 5-40. Chasing 261 for victory Hodge hit a solid fifty along with Jonothan Moss though Victoria where below the req.run rate though a unlikely hero Grant Lindsay smashed 3 sixes and a 4 in his 48 ball 59. Victoria fell 11 runs short of the total in the end. And in the other match which is currently being played between South Australia & New South Wales, the Blues made 5/291 with young talented Moises Henriques batting at 8 hit a quickfire 43*(24) while O'Brien managed 58*(60). In the Pura cup matches Tasmania is in full control against Queensland posting 334 in there first innings after Queensland had made 196, with Perren,Di Venuto & Birt all hitting fifties for there states. Queensland are 9/174 and have a lead of 36 runs Griffith is the pick of the bowlers with 4-44. Finally W.A & Victoria just got underway with the Warriors currently 1/61 (18) McDonald the wicket-taker. ------------- Check out my blog http://crictopia.blogspot.com/ pretty bad though... |

Moises Henriques is sublime made 43*(24) today batting at 8 he is 19 and a all-rounder with amazing talent born in Portugal. Other young talents such as Western Australian keeper Luke Ronchi kind of in the mould of team mate Gilly. South Australian Cullen Bailey leggie who makes a great spin partnership with Cullen. Western Australian Adam Voges is another holds the record for fastest century in one day history in Australia coming off 67 balls can also bowl some handy left arm spin. Daniel Doran is another one from Queensland a handy low order bat and a very good leg spinner though he is 25 still quite young in cricket. The list goes on and on... Don't know if theres any english players here though I think maybe Graham Thorpe from England signed for New South Wales which was last year think he still is. The new season started this week. ------------- Check out my blog http://crictopia.blogspot.com/ pretty bad though... |

Gilly has just scored a 63 ball century in the domestic competition in Australia for WA!!!! The 2nd fastest ever. Eventually gteting out to Mitch Johnson for 131 off 95.
And Langer scored the fasted ever 50 by a West Australian getting it in 28 balls. He got out for 51 (30). The WA run rate has dropped from 8 to 7 now.
240/4 off 34 overs. The Englsih need to be wary of Gilly considering his form.

Yes his form has been amazing with the bat last season he was hardly a regular in both forms of the game but now he is lashing out big tons and taking big break throughs!
Amazing hes scored 500 runs half way through the comp and if he manages over 1000 I think he'd be the first ever all-rounder to score 1000 first class runs in a season in Australia because they only play 10 matches.

James Hopes is doing too bad is he? I am sure he has done no harm to his place in the ODI team. Watto had a horrible day on the field the other day and he dropped 2 skiers. Poor bloke he was superb while batting though. ------------- |

| I thought the Vic's had it after bowling NSW out for 281 in the 1st innings. Even though we have a suspect batting line up, I thought we'd still be able to get past NSW's score. |

Vics have a very long tail mp12, I hope the blues try for a result rather than making it impossible for the vics, I think we only needa draw for the title. ------------- Monkey see, Monkey do. |

| Unfotunately that's true. I doubt that Victoria will be able to win it from here. |

| Hughes is very impressive. He is a great future prospect. |
