New squad, new thread?
Not a bad looking squad really, the inclusions of McDonald and Zampa in particularly are nice. Both will slot into the starting team, and the addition of Ronald will really strengthen that middle order. Quite heavy in terms of quicks, but that is our strength after all. Haberfield can count himself unlucky, but he will probably still be one of the first picked in the ODD side. It's just that he is a limited overs specialist, and we seem to be focusing on the Shield - which can only be a good thing.
Still lacking that extra batsman or two, but hopefully this is a sign that Kelvin Smith might be in with a show next season. That kid is quality. Raphael and Ross will no doubt get chances too, along with Sam Miller and Jake Brown.
And for anyone wondering, Nick Winter is a left arm quick from the ACT and was the standout in the Futures League last season.
Best XI for the Shield?
Michael Klinger
Phil Hughes
Callum Ferguson
Travis Head
Andrew McDonald
Tim Ludeman
Johan Botha
Kane Richardson
Chadd Sayers
Gary Putland
Adam Zampa
I still think it's the three quicks, two spinners and McDonald.
