It is now official, Noffke is going west.
Andy Bichel has called it a tragedy.
Settle down drama queen.
He is a 32 year old injury prone dude.
If Chris Simpson, James Hopes or Ryan Harris left, that would be a tragedy.
This is just annoying, very annoying, but not a fucking tragedy.

QLD, the New Texas Bulls
Players that won’t be available for large parts of the season.
Hayden, Roy?, Watson and Hopes.
Losing Watson and Hopes in the one season would cripple most state teams, but the one thing Queensland has is all rounders.
The two bets performed all rounders in state cricket last year were Ryan Harris and Ashley Noffke, they are now team mates, and Noffke has a point to prove.
Last year they were plainly spoken complete fucken rubbish. Actually they were way worse than that.
They were old, stale, and pathetic.
This year the have shed Maher and Kasprowicz, for some unknown reason kept Bichel, and Johnson has gone to be with his girlfriend.
Leadership
Chris Simpson is the new captain, and I don’t know a lot about him, it always seems risky when a team makes a fringe player a captain, but if he is the only choice, he is the only choice.
He said some strong words in the media about hard work and so forth, but so did Nathan Adcock last year, and where is he now, exactly.
Bowling
Ashley Noffke was the best bowler outside of test cricket last year. Ryan Harris was the hardest working man in show bizness last year,
But once these two are finished what does Queensland have. They have no spinners, Andy Bichel and lots of untried bowlers, Noffke and Harris would have to take a lot of wickets, and if one gets the call up, Queensland are in trouble.
Batting
Old.
Unkown.
Strugglers.
And all rounders.
I have never seen a state line up look so bare.
Noffke and Harris may end up with all the wickets and all the runs.
Long in the tooth
Andy Bichel is technically already dead and no one has told him and Martin Love is pensioner, if both of these guys play out the whole year I’d be surprised.
Ready to shed the nappies
Ummmm, shit, lets say Alistair McDermott who makes other red heads look subtle.
Nostradamus
Shield
Last.
One dayers
Last.
2020
Second Last.
The rub
They seem old and ordinary, and the probably are, remember when they were good.
The Robert DeNiro mob

This Bushranger tour of the Gabba has been a blood bath. (no pun intended)
First Dick Pound kidnapping Ashely Noffke just as his transformation to superhero was complete.
Then Greg Shipperd breaking Andy Bichel’s hand with a Victorian vice like grip.
Now Lee “where has he been” Carseldine decides to strike back at the vics by breaking our Cameron Whites foot.
It’s really not safe to be an allrounder at the gabba these days, Watson, Noffke, Bichel and White all succumbing to injuries.
While all this was happening the vics fell apart, the all to common site of Hussey, Hodge or White saving them did not occur and the rest did not step up.
John Hastings whose name rings no bells for me at all, made a good debut with the ball taking 3 for 50.
Shall be interesting to see how the vics travel without white at the helm…

Thanks to Dick Pound, Greg Shipperd and my blogging genius Victorian have produced the most unlikely result since Julia Roberts allowed Lyle Lovett into her life.
You can forgive the new texas bulls for being a down after losing Noffke, Bichel and Broad from bowling duties.
But getting bowled out for 70 odd is nasty and usually you can’t blame injuries on your bowlers for it.
Losing Noffke for the bulls at the moment is akin to losing Hitler 4 weeks into the war, things will go on, but they won’t be the same.
I think it’s a good thing for the Queenslanders that they can blame this loss on their injuries, because we know that the Bushrangers were gonna come back and win this one regardless.

Apparently my blog holds more weight than I thought.
Ashley Noffke has disappeared, the word on the street was that Aliens had abducted him, then I was sent via telegram this afternoon.
“I, Dick Pound, having stared at Ashley Noffkes jar of wee for 12 hours, and having watched the past and present tapes of Mr Noffke, can come to no other conclusion that Mr Noffke is a Drug cheat, and as such he is in a underground bunker in Monaco being interrogated by rabid monkeys”
So that explains why he wasn’t out there.
All this confused Greg Shipperd, who after reading my blog knew that he needed to get rid of Noffke, but since Dick had him, Greg decided to take Andy Bichel out instead.
These brave men have made it slightly easier for the bushrangers to make one hell of a come back.
The main man of the Brad pack, Hodge, went on a rampage against the newly toothless new texas side and scooped up a double ton. While that was happening Nick (sot) Jewell decided on a big hundred of his own. While the rest of the vic batsmen played cards.
Could victoria really win this game?
