Port Pirie Cricket Asociation

[AD]

Maybe if you risdon blokes are so keen you should change the rules so you get your full 35 overs in the B grade and 50 overs in the A grade irrelevant of when you or other teams pass the score you always get a chance to get your full lot of overs. It is obvious you wanted double headers as your club obviously voted to keep them in so if you are all so keen to play two (2) games in the one weekend surely your club would vote to play the full allotted overs available so we all get to play more cricket? So i will expect to hear risdon put a change in for this shortly if they are fair dinkum, If they dont agree with this they are hypocrites!

Do you think we are keen to be out there that long? that is why some of our guys retired from full-time A grade cricket.

Risdon fielding an A grade and a B grade side is good for the competition. This is about us wanting to play more cricket mate. This is about us wanting to keep cricket going in this town. We've already had to scrap our junior system, which was one of the strongest in Pirie, thanks to low numbers (10 out of 11 players in u17s being top age and going up the other year was the final straw). We don't want to do the same in a senior comp.

I don't know why you are attacking us on this. We're trying to do the right thing. Perhaps if other smaller clubs did the same then cricket would be better off.

How about Strykers put up an A grade team? surely there would be a few more bogans and alcos they can drag off the street for the numbers? Ditto Warnertown. Maybe if Warnertown ever bothered to develop some youth then they'd be able to play two teams.

Umm last year I doubled up so that our teams didn't have to forfeit, or play with reduced numbers, not because I like playing cricket in the 40 degree heat for the whole day, or two days in a row. How about we put a change in the constitution that you keep batting on, but the runs and wickets don't count towards the respective medals, since the game is dead after the batting team has won

sollies i beleive have gotten off there bums and gone and found some players interested in playing B grade and have juniors they are prepared to use. Do you think it is fair when wandies drop all these players back to the B grade comp south port do it as well i mean there gun pommy recruit played B grade last year while 3 or 4 of there B graders missed out? The players you mentioned should make up there minds which grade they want to play and stick to it. If they just want to play B grade well thats it but if they want to do the right thing by there club and put there hand up for A grade well if they are good enough they will get a game but they will only be allowed to play one game on a weekend but like i said there is options there that risdon could pursue to give there players more cricket. I would say to you that if you love the game of cricket that much and you cant get a game for them in either grade then go look at playing for another club. I would very seriously dought risdon would pull out of the A grade comp but if it did the game would certainly still go on. I think there is more chance of your club losing players and folding if your club allows twiggy to waltz in and play the last three (3) games of the year again and kick someone out who done the hard yards thru out the year and then get the flick come finals time like ys did last season.

risdon are entitled to put in what changes they like. When you go to play cricket you go there expecting to play 70 overs in the B grade and 100 overs in the A grade for the day. I beleive and it is my opinion that if my side is good enough to bowl a side out for 60 runs in 24 overs why should my team of batsmen be punished for going out there and getting the runs in 12 overs then have to walk off the ground? to me that is punishing my team. Talk about medals how does it help a person if he is a batting allrounder that gets a couple of wickets here and there then doesnt get a chance to go out there and bat for the full 35 overs that his side is entitled to and make a heap of runs to give him a chance of winning a medal if thats what he is after?

This is a fair point but it's not just about playing. I love the club and the blokes I'm playing with as much as I love the game. I've grown up playing juniors with most of them, they are my mates. Blokes like Congdon and McAuliffe were my idols when I started playing juniors and I love playing the odd game with them.

I live in Adelaide anyway and can't get back for every game even if I was selected so it's really a moot point. There are one or two others in my position but living in Pirie so they are avaliable each weekend. But they are of the same mindset as me.

Well to be honest with you yes i have and the persons name will not be getting brought up as he is still currently signed to risdon deciding what he wants to do, as a matter of fact there was two (2) people that i am aware of that were not happyand i beleive one of them did bring it to risdon cc attention.

im sure them people would rather you have a game of cricket wherever than not at all and it does not mean you cant socialize with them lads, im sure you could get a game somewhere if you wished to.

i am a solomontown cricketer hope sollies havnt done anything wrong as now i will cop some rubbish! Why would you want to know that is it so you can pick us up on something?

People need to stop talking on behalf of other people.


Lbh...Risdon did not want the double up rule to stay in so players could play two games...they wanted the rule to stay so if our Agrade is short (it happens from time to time, ie. footy trips)..we would be able to put a team on the park, so in fairness our opposition gets a game...forfeits not only make clubs look bad but the competition look bad as well, its a slap in the face to those who spend an awful lot of time organising it.

Also Lbh was this unhappy person from the Bgrade?, if so I know who you are talking about and they have no reason for being upset.

Just curious.

[PPLions]

If the person who lbh is referring to as missing out on the Grand Final is Terry Tiger, then i can assure everyone terry is staying at Risdon.
Terry came to the Grand Final and received a premiership medal.
He is an integral part of our side.
Terry has been working hard in the nets and I expect Terry to have a big year, playing either A grade or B grade but not both.

like i said these players that were unhappy shall remane unnamed as they are still weighing up there options. Clubs will always be able to put a team on the park it just means people have to get off there backside and go get them, have a look at warnertown for example i mean gee they get bloody big gary finlayson,wayne creek,noel murolo cody finlayson just to name a few. also south port have old colin fuss and peter cosmai so there is always options. Maybe all your club stalwarts need to get off there bums and get a junior side or two happening even tho i know it is hard to get onto kids before wandies and sth port do but you have to try like we do at sollies.

excuse me but i dont appreciate that type of talk lets just talk properly or i will report youto the moderators. I am telling you champ that i know of two people who were not happy, maybe one of them wanted to be playing in the A grade grand final instead of the B grade? and he would of been if twigden didnt turn up with three (3) games to go.

You're easily impressed. Mine were Viv Richards and David Hookes.
