Queensland have also confirmed Noffke would not initially be part of the one-day side in 2009-10. "My recent results show I'm really getting back to top form and I feel I still have plenty to offer in all forms of the game for at least another two or three seasons," Noffke said. "As a proud senior player for the Bulls, I feel really let down and will definitely be looking at what options I may have elsewhere." Unlike national contracts, state players can negotiate their own deals before the list is finalised. However, Queensland's juggling became even harder over the past week when Andrew Symonds was cut by Australia, leaving the state to reorganise its roster to cope with the international player's pay demands if he does not retire. Graham Dixon, Queensland Cricket's chief executive officer, said the state's offer to Noffke was fair. "The contract offer we have made is for one year and if accepted, it would be the highest contract offer he has received from us during his long career," Dixon said. "Our long standing policy is to provide one-year contracts to senior players, and that is all that Andy Bichel or Michael Kasprowicz or Martin Love had in the latter stages of their careers."

Obviously if he plays and goes well, potential IPL earnings go up - but having said that if he plays crap his potential earnings drop. Secondly, why wouldn't Queensland pick their best player of the past few seasons for T20 if it meant that he stayed with the side full stop? Doesn't make sense. Geez "Pick me or I'm leaving" is starting to give me tha massive shits.

Noffke ended his 11-year association with Queensland a day after being "stunned" that he was not guaranteed a place in either of the state's limited-overs teams. Talks between Noffke and Queensland Cricket on Wednesday night could not stop the allrounder from taking up a two-year deal with the Warriors. "It's been an extremely tough decision to make, one that I never thought I'd have to," Noffke said. "But at the end of the day the Warriors have offered me an opportunity to play in all forms of domestic cricket and that's all I was asking for. This was never about money." WA have a tall pace attack ... Dorey Magoffin Noffke all good underrated honest quicks that look for seam movement more than anything

Hyper Beam, Thunder, Dragon Rage, Ice Beam Posts: 52,673 Group: Full Member Member #306 Joined: 27 June 2006	think this is ok on this thread Quote: Cricket Australia will offer states $50,000 (approximately US$40,000) each to recruit high-profile overseas cricketers for next season's Big Bash Twenty20 tournament. The move is a direct attempt by CA to bolster the profile and prestige of Australia's domestic 20-over league, and represents a major departure from states' long-held position of freezing out 'imports' to protect places for local players. "We want to make the Big Bash a Bigger Bash," CA spokesman Peter Young said. "This is part of the new Memorandum of Understanding and is something that is hoped will really lift the tournament's profile further. "Our long-term strategic position is that Twenty20 is best played and promoted at state and domestic level. In the eyes of the marketeers, this is something that's a little bit sexy, and we'd like to think the public will take the opportunity to see some top-level international players competing for their home states." Western Australia have already confirmed their interest in signing their former star Adam Gilchrist for the Twenty20 tournament after he led Deccan Chargers to the IPL title this year. "I'd say he'd be a reasonable target," Graeme Wood, Western Australia's chief executive told AAP. "We are certainly hoping that would come to fruition." if i could choose for Vics I'd go for a gun keeper/bat or a bowler (spin or pace doesnt matter) Edited by Mao, Jun 13 2009, 07:24 AM.
