Really? Must have had a gutfull of serious cricket then.. What does he drink? We might slide him a couple of slabs saturday morn!

the leading wicket taker is infact the captain of the side

so when a player in question comes to your club and says he only wants to play with his mates to get his love for the game back before he takes things half seriously in sec1. you turn your back on the player and not have him play at all?

atleast he is playing and enjoying himself, now hes half a chance of playing a grade down the track... if not good luck to him

Thats Fair enough, no dramas at all. Would have thought two 100s and a bag full of wickets would quickly get " your love for the game back" though.. Not sure who suggested turning your back on him??? Hope for your clubs sake he does decided to play A grade he obviously can play.
Some clubs do things differntly thats all, being captain does not mean your not playing higher if required at our club.
But look forward to playing him just hope he has a bad couple of weeks

yeah i brought this up a few pages back about him and said once he gets tired of dominating every week he will hopefully want to challenge himself, and by challenge himself i would rather see him go back to west torrens or another grade club because he was knocking on the door of a grade when he left last season.

An average of under 15 and only 1 wicket in the B grade over 6 games is hardly knocking on the door of A grade at a half decent district club such as West Torrens

while youve got all the time in the world to look up his stats why dont you look at the season before that when he was playing in a b grade final. the point is the bloke can play! and if he did play sec1 would make it look very easy

[CoverKing]

Thats good to hear he played in a B grade GF. Obviously the bloke can play im not doubting that, but looking at his stats could prove ur statement 'of knocking on the door of a grade' as incorrect.

But looking at his stats, it looks like when he got dropped to the C grade, it got a bit tough for him after 2 games and called it quits. That right JB??

na he did his knee in the semi ck and was told in the preseaon of last year would be pushing for a grade but missed out the 1st couple of weeks and lost his passion for the game...

c grade cricket still isnt a bad level... myself and macca are playing it and we made about 1200 between us last year in asca, jib took about 20 wickets last year and played d grade last week...

no ck i am not getting in a slinging match about how good this bloke is at cricket... i'll leave it to u to find out when we play u blokes in a couple of years with him batting 4 and bowling 1st change, or maybe in the t20 this year cos hes putting his hand up for that. maybe once youve seen him you can get his number and lure him over...

As it shows above, im not doubting he can play! obviously a handy all rounder!
Secondly, im not sure where you got the thought that i said C grade wasnt a good level of cricket. Explain? i said that it got a bit tough for him, meaning him thinking he is better then C grade and didnt want to put any runs on the board for a promotion to the B grade again. Didnt bring up anything about the level of it. (IMO it probably is a lot better then sect 1 ASCA)
Thirdly, hopefully we see your mob in the t20 this year, but both sides have to get past round 1 first. and im sure he will come over to us, the lure of a premiership success is a wonderful thing

the lure of a premiership success is a wonderful thing

maybe you blokes should worry about bowling ramblers out before you call for premierships after round 4.

2-2 for you blokes this game if you have another hack-a-ball brain fade and get rolled for 150 again cos u dont have the bowling to defend shit totals...

but hey if you want to keep piling the pressure on your team 90 @ 22 isnt really backing up your statements

Think u should re look at the ladder JB. Pretty much 3 wins (because we had the bowling to get an outright) and a draw

Happily take the 3 points from the weekend just gone. 2 more then a lot of other clubs!

And also, pressure, thats not pressure JB. Pressure is not being able to make runs when it counts in finals and dropping catches of the best batsman in the comp when on bugger all. Pressure is also only having 123 (shit score) to defend and doing so with ease

Oh JB please come up with something that actually makes sense please ...

i must have missed the post where i talked up premiership glory because my team doesnt play in this comp and i sure as hell wont talk spcc up because it is out of my control. What i am putting to you ck is that you cant keep talking your team up and not do anything yourself, just sit and hope your team mates can back you up. Last years semi is the worse game of my life and my broken thumb could have something to do with it but the driving force over winter was the question i ask myself is do i perform in big games and i answered no... Now i sit here at the end of november already achieved my 2 year goal and you have an average of 22 giving me shit about last year? You sir are a fool

[CoverKing]

Now wasnt that easy to get that response JB.

How do you say it?? My work here is done!!

Any chance of letting us know what your 2 year goal was?

PS: good to see you have "all the time in the world too look up my stats"

Pretty sure CK top scored in a premiership side so fair to say he has performed under pressure and has played well in a big game.

No doubt his stats aren't great atm but lets wait and see what they are at years end.

JB you seem to have become a bitter old man, this district cricket doesn't seem to be doing you much good.

[JohnnyG]

i feel like im playing at WYC on here...
well done Geoff Hardy on 800 wickets, some sort of effort!

Holy Shiat. Thats an amazing effort! Im hoping to get to 10 by careers end

Is that the club record Dundee??

Yer for sure, think that record safe at morphies. Apparently not including when he played at Keswick as a youngster either.
Not sure what comp record is?? Has Anyone got close to the 1000?

I think the ASCA record is held by Ron Lewis from Kenilworth Cricket Club:
- he took 1,004 wickets in 352 games during the late 1950s until early 1980s as a left arm spinner
- that includes 864 wickets taken in Section 1.

[Tight_Lines]

Just to break ups CK and JBs sling match.

On the bloke in D grade we realise that we are playing community cricket in at the end of the day a social comp. Yes there are those that are after Premiership glory but there are also those that just want to have fun with mates. As much as I'd love to have him in our side its just as important that we have him at the club and hes been great at training and hangs around and puts money back in the club. And he certainly isnt in it for personal glory his first 2 knocks were both goldens and he is the first to laugh at that.

Having 6 sides and well over 100 senior players in the past 2 years not every single 1 wants to train twice a week and take the game seriously and not be happy with anything less then a premiership and we try to cater for that with our 3 bottom sides more of a social side. If we were to push guys like this into doing something they dont want to do then they'd end up leaving the game and there would be alot of guys that would do the same.

Our goal at the end is that he goes back out to West Torrens and plays A grade cricket.

WYC forum ay! Maybe if you others could contribute something of importance it wouldn't be just us doing it .

Seriously you guys keep having a crack at us, makes the day much more fun. We are confident that when business time comes around we will be there and performing and we look forward to meeting whoever awaits us. You guys can call it what you like but i am sure all clubs would love to be in the position we find ourselves in. 9 finals series in a row and 3 flags in that time. We have only had one person, Pressy, play in all 3 of those so we have had to deal with players coming and going as others have but we have always found a way to succeed. Jealousy is a curse isn't it guys
