redbacks are venomless

South Australia took a punt with their captain, the selected someone who looked like he came from a private school young conservatives training camp and gave him the job.

Never mind that he has only ever had one good year of first class cricket and a batting average worse than a West Indian youngster.

Nathan Adcock wasn’t a bad captain, it would be a hard to lead a team that are this hopeless.

Adcock has talent as a batsman, but he doesn’t make runs, and never has, so making him captain seemed like an odd decision at the time.

This year he has bowled better than Dan Cullen, but probably batted worse, and after about 7 games of him hardly making a cracker he has been fired.

Replaced by a middle-aged keeper batsman who was probably surprised he didn’t get the job in the first place.

Lets look at what the South Australia team has given the national side of recent times.

The fastest bowler in the world who earns over 400,000 bucks a year for not playing.

A batsman less fit than me, that comes back from England every year with an extra chin.

The champion prodigal spinning team of the shirt shifter, and the leg spinning saviour. One who can't get wickets, and the other can't get a game.

The only players they have that are any good are on the McGain side of 30 and are of no use to anyone.

So with no young players pushing for selection, a captain dismissed for poor form and their fast bowling legend getting king hit I can see no other option but for South Australia to be relegated to district ranks.

Perhaps Canberra or NT could be promoted.

Maybe even New Zealand.www.cricketwithballs.com "the only cricket blog that offers $ex with evil dragons"
