Yep Balneaves is another ive always rated....anyone (im looking at you smasha) thats waltzes in and balls at a thousands miles an hour using massive shoulder rotation f*cks me up everytime.

[Phantom Gossiper]

Pretty sure he had some 500/600 run years and that was when there were better/more quality bowlers around. Seen him take on Bloodybouncer when bloodybouncer was at his best and play some cracking shots.

1975?

I understand in the past he has but come on, your asking for the top 10 batsman currently in the comp, how can you name a bloke who hasnt had that impact in a long time? Thats like me saying oh im coming back to churches next season to captain Enfield, i hit a carnival ton 6years ago when i was 19 and made the aussie side i wanna be in the top 10 but in reality im a filthy hack who would struggle to fit into any div 1 sides top 7!

Your outa the loop mate, bowls slow medium, aimed at the stumps pretty akin to what i would bowl (if i wasnt such a superstar)

well i have been missing for a while ok well i'll sub Barrett for Nitschke if he still running around bowling

And if he isnt then im on Craig Balneaves

You coulda subbed Barret for me mate.....didnt you hear about my bowling last week.......seeeesh.......got Richie out before i even bowled a ball.

Fire up auto! Im sure they will be fired up enough after yesterday to make sure they continue their strong form in the season and work towards finals

So he has well then i stand corrected.. but i wont be happy until he punishes Fitzroy this weekend and hits a double ton

[Phantom Gossiper]

BUUUUUT...

If we wanted to be real picky we could say apart from the 2x50s and the 100 last season and the 40 odd this season, he hasnt score over 30 in an innings since before dec 08

[Phantom Gossiper]

p.s im not claiming to be better

[auto]

Yep as i see it NEK and Vi$ta are fighting for a home final and probably us and Rose Parks are fighting for the last finals spot. Tho having said that weve already played Vi$ta twice and this will be our second match against NEK. So we should have an easier run into xmas and the finals compared to other teams.

LOL...memo to self....if Baldo bowls wide and short its not an invitation to play a wild cut shot and get an edge

[auto]

Thats the second time he got me out that way too.....As he runs in my mantra will be ...."if its short and wide FFS let it go"

Thats one way of looking at it. The other way is to say what a hero the other bloke who didnt get out to smasha was.

[Phantom Gossiper]

Hears a question lol.. bit left field but anyway..

general consensus has NEK and PV as the two major teams, now towards the end of the season, would say NEK look at the ladder and try and finish in a position to play the weaker side below them that makes it i.e RP, and does a side below i.e. Fitzroy aim to win or position itself so it doesnt play arch enemy PV 1st week of the finals?

Bad luck if no one understands that, im bored

just play your best cricket and don't concern yourself with those type of tactics. Best team will win and to try to "arrange" finals is just stupid and dangerous. at that end of the season you should believe that you can win it regardless of opposition

Nah makes no difference because in all likelihood we would have to play them both during the finals. But as i said we are aiming just to make finals and dont take that as a cliche because its the reality of the situation. We are not good enough for the top 2(tho on our day we are) and i would expect Lutheran to get third. So we need every point we can to finish 4th. Whoever makes first makes no difference to us. And its been that way for a few years for our club. We know on our day we can beat anyone but as far as consistency goes we are usually around the 3rd/4th/5th spots every year. Who finishes top is prob more important to NEK and Vi$ta because theyd both want the home final.
