Para Districts Cricket Association 2010-11

[Browny25]

Agreed, bring your A game sat so we can see some good cricket.

Game on Mole!

I think the Gardens will be very good this year, Bradley Wills will score alot of runs from them if everything is ok personally and he is training. Was once a junior star and has/had plenty of ability with both bat and ball. Hanson from his Para Teachers could bat. The Gardens always seem to find a few blokes with good eyes and that could get the ball through, been a div 1 div 2 club for some time.
Smithfield had a formidable bowling attack last year in the under 16's competition, if all things were equal, those two big openers would see Smithfield play div 1 or div 2 cricket for the next 10-15 years, alot of pressure on 17 year olds shoulders and maybe not div 1 Bowlers yet, but I think they will be in competant hands.

As for Vale and Virginia, who knows what farmers will step off the Tomatoe plantations this year or which mates will be keen for a hit.

Seems to be a pretty strong competition with 5 or 6 sides genuine contenders.

i believe your sources are mistaken magpie....they were infact div 3 for a few years only 2 or 3 years back. I do believe Angle Vale were in the same boat, and Salisbury North did the same by going very quickly from div 3 into div 1

Angle Vale had a meteoric rise through the grades, 3 or 4 minor premierships in a row IIRC, no premierships though I think. Salisbury North went from Grade 4 to to Grade 1 after rising up in successive years.

In the past 10 years, PGCC would have played 80% of there cricket in Div 1 or 2?

As opposed to other teams like Noth Pines, Central Districts, Smithfield... No offence intended.

Smithfield re-entered the PDCA in 01/02 in Grade 3 and won the 03/04 Premiership in that grade, they have been in Grade 2 since 04/05.

[Lightning McQueen]

PGCC's last season in Grade 1 was 98/99, I reckon they would've spent at least 6 years in Grade 2 since then. I know they had a couple of years dwindling in the interim, to their credit they've bounced back well.

so 50/60% of the past decade in div 2, I must say I was playing Turf for the last half of the decade. I can still Remember North Pines being a force.

I think most of them left when Northern Wolves started up and migrated there.

[RedMagpie]

Pretty piss poor that almost a week has past and still teams are yet to be updated on my cricket, Score sheets are yet to be finalised and there are clubs with grades below them with all the info added correctly.

Yes I can confirm this.

But that wasn't your, Bill Fuller, Ian Brown, Chris Carrol, Paul Domanski, Dean Trowbridge, Paul Elsmore, Barry Hee.

The requirement from the association is that all scores are to be confirmed by the Sunday and stats have to be entered by Thursday. These are all required after the conclusion of the game and It's midgame so there is not penalty I believe.

Add big Richo to that. Jason Robbinson (kid was a star, what ever happened to him?)

Still just looks and feel sloppy.

I was amazed when I heard that they are going paperless this season, from what i seen last year they were lightyears away.
All sundries etc. need to be exactly the same for both teams, extra care has to be taken by both captains to ensure everything adds up perfectly, poor Clarko is going to go grey as this season.

I agree and when 8-9 blokes are doing the scorebook things can start to look a tad, disgusting.

yep very complicated concept of 1 run to the batsman, 1 run to the score and 1 run to the bowler

And the 47 variations of a no-ball or wide. When there's a run taken after a no-ball has gone past the keeper. I remember scoring one day with a woman from North Pines and someone hit two sixes in a row from beamers, she had no-balls on 12, our books didn't add up as I refused to acknowledge that the 6's belonged to no-balls, it was quite amusing.

It always turns to a botch job when multiple hands touch the book, one dedicated scorer knowing what he or she are doing are a valuable asset to a cricket side, almost as vital as a good skipper. Maybe the job for the old blokes of the club to take upon themselves instead of still hobbeling about out there. *is that you in the two this week?
