well nips lost yet another game in charge of the u/19 side

[8-6 Suited]

Has he won a game yet? LOL


Bad luck to Gallagher :( Still got 20 though which was a good effort. 2nd highest I believe for Ireland.

[cookie311993]

well lets see he started his tours with a last place finish in div 3 one-day, with 1 win and started bad for twenty20. out of 13 matches he has won 3

But for a 27yo, he doesn't have long enough to build his experience up to a NT level. His experience is what we look at as a base bottom level for a 25yo pretty much in which clearly Moser isn't. While I do love the guy and his skill set is phenomenal, at NT level it sets him behin which can result in being more expensive and less wickets at times.

I understand experience plays a huge role in NAT players. Can't take them to not perform on the big stage.

Unlucky ZZ but Gallagher didn't fair much better against the Aussies. Bittersweet but 20 at T20 is acceptable considering he was the second highest like Shaggy said.

Aussies cutting it close in the end to win by 5 wickets with 2 balls to spare.

Incredible ending. I was extremely concerned haha.



Cookie, it is hilarious. Has anything been said on the off-site regarding how utterly useless he is?

[cookie311993]

Only by me it is getting pathetic.  You lose interest in a side that keeps losing

[Master Q]

Cookie are you an assistant?

[cookie311993]

No im not q he wouldnt give me the position. I am on trial for australia.

[Master Q]

You said you picked the tour squad, how do you see the players? Just wondering  ;)

[cookie311993]

i was still on assistants panel then and in the association U/19 Australia Managementthey post players skills

[Master Q]

So you were an Assistant? Do Australia U19 rotate Assistants?

[cookie311993]

no crowfan65 had 3 people interested he wanted to let each one gain experience and then one with most promise was assistant next season

Did the same thing when HP was trialing last season. Got a month or so as an Assistant then someone else who wanted a go got his spot.
But you would know this by know if you remained loyal to Australia instead of running off to the first assistant job you didn't deserve. :P
