Sheffield Shield & Offseason

Re: Sheffield Shield & Offseason

Have the Vics picked up anyone of note lemmon? I haven't heard boo from them, apart from the outs/potential outs.

Not quite, they have been trumpeting the inclusion of Dan Christian but he's a bits and pieces allrounder who's numbers have been poor for a few years. McDonalds a heavy loss but it seems Finch has been retained (or nobody else wanted to pay him) which is good from a limited overs point of view I guess. They released their squad today:

Cricket Australia contracts:
Glenn Maxwell, Clint McKay, James Pattinson, Peter Siddle and Matthew Wade

Cricket Victoria contracts:
Fawad Ahmed, Scott Boland, Daniel Christian, Aaron Finch, Peter Handscomb, John Hastings, Jayde Herrick, Michael Hill, Jon Holland, David Hussey, Alex Keath, James Muirhead, Rob Quiney, Chris Rogers, Will Sheridan, Ryan Sidebottom, Marcus Stoinis and Cameron White

Cricket Victoria rookie contracts:
Louis Cameron, Ian Holland, Matt Short and Guy Walker

I don't get why Meyrick Buchanan has lost his contract, 19 year old touted as the next big underage batsman, could well have gone elsewhere for opportunity. Shame when we're looking to recycled guys like Marcus Stoinis

Alex Keath has to be very lucky too. Australian cricket is besotted at the moment with all rounders who can't really bat or bowl.
