Megan Schutt continues to lead the young Statewide Super SA Scorpions, along with emerging leader and newly contracted Australian player, Tahlia McGrath. McGrath’s breakout year is being rewarded and it is well-deserved for her allround ability in each format. As mentioned previously, the on-field performances of the South Australian Men have lacked consistency since the fifties. The group had a drought-breaking win against Tasmania this season, followed by a home win against Western Australia, but we need more. Although the Redbacks did not have a chance in the final match to lift off the bottom of the table as the last match was called off on account of the coronavirus, it is another last-place finish in the record books. And one that needs to improve. Financial Note Prior to the March 2020 onset of COVID-19 with working from home orders, SACA was on track for a profitable year. A 2019- 20 season which saw the return of day-night to Adelaide with a match against along with seven home Adelaide Strikers matches had a positive impact on revenue, yet the unforeseen global pandemic changed everything.

8 SACA ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20 HIGH PERFORMANCE

We thank Sophie Devine for her immeasurable contribution to the Strikers since the tournament’s inception. We did everything we could to keep Sophie, but her wish was to continue her career in Perth. The nucleus of the team remains and is constantly improving under coach Luke Williams, so we are optimistic moving forward.

The men’s Big Bash team made it to “The Knockout Final” after finishing the regular season in third place. Jon Wells showed incredible consistency in the tournament. He was the Strikers’ top runscorer for the second consecutive summer, with 478 runs and an elite average of 68. Wells was rightly awarded the MVP award as voted by the players. Unfortunately, the group stumbled in their Final, but Jason Gillespie’s men show time and time again that they are a quality group of Twenty20 cricketers.

We acknowledge that our State men’s team, has struggled to find consistency, especially in the last few years. We’ve gone through some changes and our hope is that are we on the right track. We thank Jamie Siddons for his commitment to South Australian cricket which saw the Redbacks play in four finals; two Sheffield Shield finals and two one-day finals.

The Shield win against Tasmania in December was a rewarding moment for the group. Then to get a second consecutive victory, comprehensively against Western Australia, was outstanding and a huge boost for the group. We hope that these positive signs can lay the foundation for the team to return to more competitive form in the upcoming season.

For to become such a consistent performer and earn the Bradman Young Cricketer of the Year award in his first year back in South Australia is a huge result and it lifts the team and the younger players around him. He also scooped the Medal as the most outstanding State male cricketer. Callum Ferguson was the One-Day Cup MVP and he drove the Redbacks to a third-place finish in that competition, narrowly missing out on the final which was played by the top two teams at the end of the qualifying rounds. Above: Alex Carey was named in the ICC Team of the Tournament It is now time for Jason Gillespie to take the group forward and for his exceptional 2019 World Cup campaign. we are excited to see what he will bring.

More than 220 coaches were accredited with Community (Level 1) certification at 15 courses across the State - 12 held in Adelaide and three in regional South Australia. A number of regional courses were cancelled by community cricket officers based on low registration numbers towards the back end of the season.
