Nice how he wears a long sleeve shirt when bowling - more effective in hiding his bent arm!

He copped a fair smack in the head not long before he got out. I wonder if that may have affected him (although it didn't appear so)? Lehmann - you could drive a bus through that gap between bat and pad!!

He was dropped in place of Carey and they wanted to play Nielsen as a batter only. I believe he will be in the team this week from what I've heard.

I'd have Kelly in the side but not as captain - that would be another Nathan Adcock scenario!!

"Mutual agreement" means he's been sacked. The stench has been removed!!

Pretty much because of the old man that has seen him with guaranteed unlimited opportunities, which then eventually he will score some runs every now and then. Until the stench that is emanating from the High Performance office is removed, the Redbacks will forever be rooted at the foot of the...

Rumour has it that he has a bit too much of it.

He's not a drunk vegetarian

I've just looked it up - he's made 5 tons this season (3 for his club and 2 for 2nd X1) so not sure what he has done wrong?

Agree but if you are given infinite opportunities, on balance of probabilities, you are eventually going to score some runs.

...except if your surname is Nielsen or Lehmann.

Probably because he's now in the Aus T20 squad,

He'd be disappointed with that shot. Looked pretty comfortable so yes, hopefully he gets another opportunity (or 20!!) but not holding out any hope that he will given the way young SA players have been treated in the past (except depending on who your dad is!).

I think a nice little p...take from a West Torrens supporter. I would think though that they may finally drop Lehmann and McSweeney can captain the team.

The finger also needs to be very much pointed at Tim Nielsen. He runs the whole show and picks the team and squad. Gillespie actually does bugger-all and both deserve to go. However, Dizzy's mates in the commentary box/boys' club will protect him. People like this (not unlike politicians) will...

Don't forget Stoinos - this is set up for his 1 good game per year!!!

Yep - a winning percentage of 14.04% since the beginning of 2017/18!! 2017/18 - played 10 won 2 2018/19 - played 10 won 0 2019/20 - played 6 won 1 2020/21 - played 8 won 0 2021/22 - played 8 won 1 2022/23 - played 10 won 2 2023/24 - played 5 so far won 2 A wonderful strike rate for Tim Nielsen!!

I remember seeing the video of Tim Nielsen and then chairman of selectors James Pyke ambushing him at training and informing him he was going to be captain. Hunt had no idea about it and you could see from the look on his face that he didn't really want it but had to say yes in front of the...

Probably not and that would be setting the kid up to be crucified. They'll probably be likely to wheel out Jake Carder again:huh:

That would guarantee him a 3-year deal at the Redbacks!!

...at the buffet!!

While Tim Nielsen is in charge there's no way they're going to get in another keeper/batsman as he demands that his son plays when Carey is unavailable!! He calls all the shots and you could see on draft night Dizzy kept turning around to him.

He did however KRO is a disgrace of a facility for 1st class cricket. I think this confirms it would be in his best interest to move to QLD where the conditions would be much more suitable for him instead of having to slog his guts out on the s...heap that is Karen Rolton Oval!!

These are the sort of numbers that would guarantee them a 3-year deal with the Redbacks!!:cool:

He's also the Director of Fitness and Nutrition!!;)

Agreed. Whether it's Kelly or another young player - they need to be given an opportunity. He at least deserves as many shots at it as they've given others. It's the only way he's going to get match-hardened 1st Class experience. I think he's got the goods to succeed but he's only just turned 22...

Give him a chance - he's only played 3 games. I reckon he'd go alright if he had as many chances as Lehmann or others like Liam Scott, Carder etc.

I wonder if Lindsay Buckingham will get a game tonight!!:cool:

That's probably because the same people are in charge of both - Nielsen and Gillespie. The SACA Board continue to reward failure and ineptitude. Need a big clean out of both however Gillespie has been gifted a 2-year extension for the Redbacks so probably will be given the same at the Strikers.

He's cooked. Tonight and also v Heat. But he'll get looked after by the person pretending to be the coach of the Strikers. Teflon Tim Nielsen will also look after him!!!
