Victoria add Ranga, lose Hebrew Hammer

Finally the ink has settled and Chris Rogers, the dude good enough to be in the top XI 3 months ago but not good enough to be in the top 25 now, is a Victorian.

Don’t worry Western Australia, we will take good care of him.

Some bloggers are angry at Rogers, but let’s be honet, Western Australia has more quality batsman than you can suspend for drunkenness.

This will give Rogers that chance to play for Victoria for the next few years and forget about those distracting test opportunities.

Not sure how his future leadership aspirations will go with the big bear around, but good luck anyway.

Victoria also loses the Hebrew Hammer Michael Klinger.

Once the most promising young buck in all the land, now a grafter of the highest level.

He has been picked up by South Australia, and I hope this fresh start loosens him up a bit, because he still has the potential to be a good batsmen, but his anal retentive defence only strategy, and failure to make any real runs was always quite annoying.

Klinger played in the same under 16 representative tournament as I did way back when, the only difference between us was the fact he made a buttload of runs and was a superstar, and I did a buttload of nothing and was less of a superstar.

Yet last year he only made a few more runs than I did.www.cricketwithballs.com "Practice Sehwagology and kill the Probots"
