Adelaide and Suburban Cricket Association 2010/11

The big clubs are those with the most teams and are entitled to two votes per team at the AGM. The more teams = more votes if you can get enough people from your club to the AGM.

Also, I heard a nasty rumour about Sambo moving from ICC for some $$$. Given that the President of the club in question has denied his club has ever made payments to players and dislikes ICC for offering incentives to players, I'm sure it can't be true.

Who is that AF?

No need to tarnish the good reputation of a president . If it happens I'm sure this topic will resurface, but for now I'll only say the source has come from ICC.

Keswick?!

Hmm Guess there would be a few batsman (and bowlers for that matter ) in the comp who wouldn't mind Sambo leaving ICC.

As long Sambo doesnt come to us i'll be happy! I hate facing him once a year, let alone every week at training! F*** that! He is too quick for my liking! Although, i wouldnt mind fielding at slip to him!

Never thought i would say this AF, but your the only one that had some sense and understood what i wrote. Thats what i meant when i said have a massive influence. You put it better so others could understand though! (i think thats two things iv agreed on with u now) So the massive clubs would be Keswick, Sheidow, ICC and North Haven really.

WUB12, i am one that honestly enjoys fielding! I do like fielding for 30 overs knowing that you have rolled a side cheaply, but rolling a side for 150 odd in 70 overs with a lot of hard work is satisfying. Plus fielding is something where all 11 players contribute at the one time, its good fun on the field and achieving it at the same time IMO

[CoverKing]

That is an absolute joke IMo.
1 - it's coming from a club that is
not a massive influence! If a sheidow park, keswick ha this view then I would think about it more.
2- SCA have diminished to a lot more one dayers, n look at where their club is!
3- 2 day cricket gives all 11 players ago (more often then not). 40 over cricket does not do this! Especially in lower divisions!!
4- section 1 is about attracting quality Players! I would think a proposed competition like st georges won't help attract any players, or clubs!!!
5- playin every club once is good IMO. Get a side in a 1 dayer, so be it! Especially from our view, whoever u get in a 1 dayer, they can win! Not a true reflection IMO of the best sides!
6- booneys proposal kept players in the game for longer by playing every second week! Those that retired could do thus format, but not this new comp!
7- I enjoy fielding for 70 overs, fighting to beat a side and mental strength being a factor
in who wins! Our game against Glenelg ANA, even tho a final, has the chance of not happening in the future.
8- the rain/heat will have an effect on some games and produce another 1 or 2 one dayers throughout the year!
9- if this comes in, I would seriously consider leaving the comp!

Agree with you all not a good idea but not sure about massive influence comment. Sounds a little Indian Cricket Board for me. It was an idea (a bad one) but surely they are intilted to express somthing they obviously thought was good for the comp. Just sounds a little elitist.

I Think all sections should have a 3 week finals comp not just 1 and and 2, even in lower sections top 2 deserve a double chance. But its only my opinion and im only from Morphy Parks not 1 of the big 3....

See above Dundee in how i meant it, or read AFs post! Didnt exactly write it clearly

On the theme of $$$$ it comes up every year, some of our players have been offered (so they tell me). Do teams really pay players? I can say for a fact that we can pay players, but we choose not too, but why are we any different to a suburban footy team who pays there players. Why is this taboo within the ASCA?

[Booney]

I would suggest Bazza that anyone who plays Hard wicket cricket and want's to be paid should be told to pull his head out his arse and go and play Turf or District if he thinks he is that good.

The difference is that footy clubs have a much bigger revenue base from having more supporters who watch footy. Cricket doesn't draw the crowds like footy, so there isn't the money to pay. Being a current footy player in a league of over-paid average footballers, I much prefer the camaraderie of the cricketers where I know all the blokes are there to play because they enjoy it and not because the are getting some coin.

Strangey was the only bloke from our club I know who was offered coin to go elsewhere. That was Mitchell Pk many years ago.

That's it, pay me or I'm leaving!!

Very well said... spot on. much rather play with guys who love the game than blokes who are only playing to get a bit of cash when you can tell their heart isn't in it

You make excellent points AF!
Do footy clubs make heaps of money though. No gate takings, people bring there own eskis. The farmers much be rich up your neck of the woods

Gate entry of $7 and no alcohol brought into games.

[bazza1]

I dont think there are any clubs in the SAAFL that can charge entry.

[Iron Fist]

unless your an insterstate player or gun recruit you wouldnt get paid in cricket.
I know that turf teams try to get district cricketers across with money.
no reason why hard wicket cricketers couldnt be paid. Unlike footy, all performance based though.
So if ya recuit isnt making runs or taking wickets, then he isnt costing the club a thing.
