News on Putsy from around Australia

From the ABC website 26 Nov  2012

Gary Putland took match figures of 12 for 92 to bowl South Australia to a nine-wicket win over Victoria in the Sheffield Shield clash at the MCG on Monday….

Left-arm swing bowler Putland picked up 5 for 28 off 25 overs in Victoria's second innings.

South Australia is celebrating its first Shield win at the MCG since 1998 and its second victory for the season, climbing to fourth on the table on 12 points.

Putland in Test frame after destroying Vics

RELENTLESS left-arm paceman Gary Putland has been hailed as a legitimate Test prospect after his 12-wicket haul– the best at the MCG in 42 years– inspired South Australia's Sheffield Shield thrashing of Victoria.

The 26-year-old was not only dangerous against the Bushrangers' batsmen but also economical thanks to his unerring accuracy. Of the 62 overs he bowled in the match, 28 were maidens, whereas the entire home bowling attack managed only 19 from 126.

Putland does not boast express pace. Nevertheless, Victoria assistant coach Simon Helmot said his performance was a reminder "that if you present the seam and bowl in a consistent area, you can get some wickets"…..

The left-armer's figures of 12-92 were the best by a South Australian for 11 seasons, since fellow left-armer Paul Rofe's 13-112, and No.7 on the all-time list at the MCG.

The last bowler to fare better there was Ross Turner, who claimed 13-125 for Queensland in November 1970.

Putland has primarily been hailed for his limited-overs prowess but this match took his Shield record after 15 matches to 63 wickets at an average of 24.2, with six five-wicket hauls – form Berry reckoned should be noted by national selectors.

"He is a serious bowler, a left-armer who can bring it back to the right-handers. Mitchell Johnson, when he's good, he can do that, but when he's not on song, he can't. I know Mitchell Starc and Mitchell Johnson are the two who are right up in the frame at the moment. Seriously, Gary Putland, in my opinion, would be an ideal Ashes bowler next year," Berry said.

"He swings it back to the right-hander, he angles it across, he bowled some unplayable balls this game. He should be (talked about) in the same vein as Jackson Birds and Josh Hazlewoods."

Gary Putland takes 10 wickets to set SA on path for win

From: AAP 25 nov 2012

SHEFFIELD SHIELD: South Australia's cricketers are poised for their first Sheffield Shield win at the MCG since 1998 after a 10-wicket performance from swing bowler Gary Putland.

Victoria will resume on the final day tomorrow on 6-86, requiring a further 11 runs to make the Redbacks bat again.

South Australia had reduced the Bushrangers to 6-41 before a stubborn seventh-wicket stand of 45 between John Hastings (10 not out) and Peter Handscomb (32no) in 68 minutes.

Putland, who took 7-64 off 36 overs in Victoria's first innings, claimed the key scalps of Glenn Maxwell (0), David Hussey (6) and Cameron White (0).

The left-armer has proved almost impossible to score off, with figures of 3-14 from 15 overs…

Club Newsletter Edition 4 - The Sting

The Sting is slowly morphing into a club wide newsletter, this fortnight featuring senior match reports, news from the President Harvey Jolly, a profile of Matty O, a story from Tom Murphy about recent trials and camp for SACA high performance squads and much more... Check it out online here! or click the Newsletter tab on the Stingray website homepage for all current and past editions.

Welcome to the forth edition of The Sting for 2012, and our first edition featuring junior and senior mens cricket. The sting is slowly growing to incorporate the entire club, and hopefully become a fortnightly publication.

The grade cricket scene in South Australia (and across the country) is changing rapidly. Most clubs rely on too few people to do too much, and our club is no different. Only by pulling together all of our collective efforts, sharing our successes & failures, and collectively supporting our club on and off the field can we hope to flourish.

The idea of this newsletter moving forward is to share brief reflections of the previous rounds results from all teams, celebrate outstanding individual performances, and bring together as much news and information from around our great club as possible. All sides are invited to nominate a player to share the highlights of their previous round matches (150 words max) by the following Tuesday of the conclusion of that round.

PUTSY HERO IN SA WIN

FROM CRICINFO


South Australia's 25-year drought without a one-day title ended with a thrilling tie that delivered them the Ryobi Cup in the final in Adelaide. In a remarkable last over, Tasmania needed five runs for victory but managed only four as Gary Putland held his nerve to take the key wicket of the centurion George Bailey and then denied the new batsman James Faulkner the runs he required.
