20/20 semi cove 6/147 defeated icc 113

[sherminator]

Ramblers 6/29 chasing 113.

I honestly think the pitch at Hawthorndene is not suitable to play on. It just does too much. Coro's seems to have got better but it doesn't appear that the Ramblers pitch is doing that.

Thoughts?

Plympton's is overdue for re-laying and in hindsight probably tried to squeeze 1 season too many out of it, but that stuff that is layed out at rambers belongs in the produce section of the supermarket under a few rockmelons!

I said that when i played on it just after it first got laid, the fibres are too long.

Speaking with a couple of guys at the t20 last sunday i don't think some of the ramblers players enjoy it, but really there is not much you can do about it until its ready to be ripped up and relayed. The argument will be its the same for both teams.

Is that the new 'stuck-down' surface that many councils are putting down on public ovals? I only ask as the footy club that shares the oval with us in the GSCA apparently have suggested we put one down as they reckon it is safer during footy season.

[Gowser]

from what I know of those types of matting, its ment to play more like a turf pitch.

According to who? I am of the opinion that pitch is not safe and no more like it should be allowed in A&SCA.

Why would we want a pitch to try and be like a turf pitch, We play in a HARD WICKET COMP, if we wanted to play on turf im sure we would be playing Adelaide turf comp or District.

BTW this rubbish matting is nothing like turf. Its just CRAAAAAP

The only reason the ball bounces different is because there is a think layer of rubber under the actually matting. This is so the ball bounces, maybe if the ball bounce is too irregular; the council has laid a too think layer of rubber underneath.
It doesn't actually play that much different from normal matting, it just bounces up more off a good length, and if bowled short it sits up more, like a tennis ball bounce. It really isn’t that hard to adjust.

And too answer safer during the football season, I wouldn't necessarily say that it’s safer, because all they do is soften it up it a special substance and then put a layer of rubber pellets on top.

I think you'll find the ICC & Ramblers scoreline had not much to do with the pitch. The grass is super long at Hawthorndene despite a request of the council for more regular cuts. We bowled well to ICC and with a quick outfield they could have had another 30 runs. The Ramblers batting was horrible and Verrall bowled well. Considering his wickets came from full-pitched deliveries the pitch didn't play a part. Batting hasn't exactly been our strength in a long, long time....

The new pitch plays better than the old one and as a batsman I have no problem with it. The balls that have a strange bounce almost never take a wicket.

I think it's more of a case of "batsmen" looking for excuses.

That is when Cove have said it will be. Perhaps they forgot both clubs have to agree. We will discuss this week. Can't see any problem with it at this stage.

Cove did the same with us, one day only to play. No other day they were available

[Deep Heat]

HAHAHAHAHAH OH that must be why they beat you you didn have time to prepare hahahahaahahah and they cheated

[wycbloods]

Don't think CK alluded to that at all. He simply stated the facts of the situation which was that you had played a game the weekend after the meeting which decided we play the winner of that game and once you had won you informed us there was only one day you were available to play.

It didn't have an impact on the outcome of the game but it seems to a common occurence that Cove put forward only one day that is suitable to them without taking into account the oppositions needs.

I think this would be best sorted out by having set dates at the start of the year and all clubs must submit dates they want avoided prior to the draw being done otherwise bad luck.

Correct, set dates at the start of the year, just leave the teams open, put it in the handbook and if you can't get a team up for that day bad luck, clubs don't schedule any fundraisers, weddings, birthdays, funerals, barmitzfas, building dedications, etc on those days.

If anything it gives clubs another oppertunity to hold a social event like a sponsors day etc on the sunday of the T20, and to know the date of the first one is fixed in place then you can start planning early.

Pretty sure that cove had to play there first t20 game on the sunday of the october long weekend. The other point is that cove were meant to play away against wyc and icc and the games had to be switched as there ovals were not available.

[CoverKing]

Incorrect. Cove said they were only available one to play and than I offered them the chance to play at their ground due to the point that our ground is hardly suitable for a t20. Cove had one day and one day only to play.
