Yeah, have noticed that about Mike as well.
It was raining a few years ago at the Camberwell Sports Ground when the Victorian 2nd XI were playing the WA 2nd XI and this was just before Dave had broken into the Victorian team.
Myself, including fellow poster on BF MRobbo were invited into the club rooms to have something to eat and to make a cuppa to warm ourselves up. All the players were in there and Dave was great to talk to.
We speak about WA cricket, his aspirations since coming to Victoria and also about Northamptonshire the county Mike played several seasons for.

yeah last season, didnt seem he was trying to hard, but watching wates bowl last year in one dayers couldn't help being impressed as i was a critic before but completely turned after his 10 straight efforts

No worries mate, we'll just have to agree to disagree. No doubt wates had a better year last year, but I still believe that had Dorey not been injured so frequently, he could have been an Australian representative.
Good to see you follow WA cricket though, not enough of us follow it around here
no worries sinepari, im sure our paths have crossed at times on the field and may do in the future. see ya in the waca outer at the ing cup games, i will be the one quietly appreciating another big effort from 10 straight wates 2/ 35 or something like that

Should probably move states as too similar to Dizzy to make the SA team.

Fast bowlers like Tait, Hilfenhaus, Johnson and Noffke are queueing up.
Johnson
Tait
Hilfenhaus
Noffke
Geeves
Drew
Henriques (more of a medium pacer, but he swings it late)
Clark is a stop gap... only got 2 more years left

What did happen to Rofe.
Two years ago - when this thread started - I too was pretty convinced he would be playing for Australia when McGrath retired. NOw he can't make the state team. Seems to have gone seriously backwards

gowz
Debutant
Hilfinhaus
Tait
Johnson
They will be the goods for the next few years.
And we have enough bit part bowlers to fill in the gaps
Watson
Bracken
Magoffin
Bollinger
Griffith
Aaron Bird
Andrew McDonald
So I think our quickies will be sweet for another 5 or 6 seasons yet

Noffke should be in the team instead of Lee for Tests.
Um, no. Experience counts and they aren't going to drop one of our most experienced bowlers with another newbie, especially with the retirements we've suffered lately. Noffke could easily replace Johnson, Tait or Hilfy, but not Lee.
