Well they're past their prime, and have to make way for the younger players, although Kasproqicz and Elliot would of only got contracts because they in the best form of their careers. I think Hauritz should of got a contract though

well they had a pretty shocking VB Series, Bevan got all up about 40 runs in the series and Bichel really stuggled with his bowling.

Plus Shaun Tait is a Gillespie - Lee Paced bowler, hes pretty quick

and Brad Hodge and Matthew Elliott have had their best seasons for Victoria Ever. Elliott got 1400 runs in the Pura cup season and Hodge and Elliott was the reason they won it
