Yes. I won't fully embrace the BBL unless the best Australian players are playing in it for the whole toyrnament. There is a big difference between BBL standard and international T20 standard. The summer schedule is terrible. Big gap of international cricket between NY test and the next one is...
I agree. I also don't think shield averages are the gold standard for selection either. I would expect guys like Bancroft or Harris who are 30 and have played at test level to have a good shield average. Their average should be better than a younger player on the way up learning their craft. I...
I see that the Burleigh Bears have Ethan O'Neill (Julian's son) and Shalom O'Ofou. These may be some decent second row backup options. O'Neill played pretty well for South's NSW cup last year. Not sure about O'Ofou. He was good in the trials but not sure what happened. Maybe he got injured
I meant replace him in the squad by getting another second rower rather than making do with what we have in that position. I acknowledge it will be a downgrade and he has a unique skillset. Let's see how they replace him if he goes.
We will have replace him with a cheaper option. Hosking would be great. Someone will come up. A seasoned second rower is all we need not a world beater.Not ideal he leaves this year but probably the right decision to let him go
I think it's a stupid idea. The only way it would work is if we were to sign them centrally and assign them to struggling clubs with a notional value but I don't even think this would work. Happy if players go to Union for insane money or desire to play rugby. I don't think we should be looking...
