The South Australian Team – Well, they’ve gate crashed this CLT20 party as they’re the runners-up in the KFC Big Bash T20 Tournament that is held for the domestic T20 teams in Australia. And their presence denied the Inaugural CLT20 champions New South Wales a go at defending their title. But, this team is not to be taken lightly – no team from Australia should ever be ! !
The team is filled with batsman who can bowl and bowlers who can bat. So, in event of a collapse, they can still be assured of a decent total in comparison with other teams. Also, 5 members of this aquad have been part of the National Squad as well. Ferguson and Manou have done well for Australia in ODIs and T20s. Dan Christian is yet another exciting prospect.
Peter George, a tall fast bowler on the lines of Glenn McGrath and their captain Michael Klinger, a prolific scorer may be their dark horses. The trump card for the team though s undoubtedly Shaun Tait. He’s been of magnanimous form ever sincee he came back from his sabbatical and will definitely be a course changer for the team in this shortest format. Only cause of concern would be his fitness levels.
If they do win the CLT20 this season, it would be a record of sorts – the second Aussie team to clinch this relatively new tournament. !!

Dan Christian has just won the English T20 cup with his county team Hampshire in a dramatic manner, he fields like the devil, sacrifices everything for his team, and has been well-appreciated by Hants, albeit not being a genius. I am putting big hopes in Peter George as well. I also hope we will see something of Aiden Blizzard, the T20 specialist that previously played for Victoria. Abandoning Mark Cosgrove, who is the leading run-scorer for his county team Glamorgan in all formats and hence in fine T20 fettle, will bite the Redbacks in the butt. Of course I wish them only the best, as they are my favourite state team ;)
Thanks for the preview,
Cheers,
Wes
All I want, is for an Aussie team to not win yet another tournament! But damn, this team looks good.
