RRRAAAMMMMBBBLLLEEEERRRSSSSSS!!!!!

A good win in a tight game today. Nearly cost oursleves with poor fielding and then Westminster probaby cost themselves a win with some ordinary batting late in the game. Close game either way.

[wycbloods]

A fantastic outright for our guys yesterday against the reigning premiers. We declared overnight after being 13 in front and bowled Sth Rd out for 168 in the 57th over and then had 21 overs to make 155. After being 1 fa 8 off 3 overs things were not looking great. Then Russel King and Jake Whenan went on a rampage and got us to 99 off 10(it was some of the cleanest hitting i have seen) before they had a mixup and Jake was run out. We ended up making the runs with 2 overs to go and it was a great win that puts us back in the race for a finals spot.

I would like to know why Coromandel would declare and give the Sharks a look at an outright they were never going to take 10 wickets in 25 overs so why do it . Obviously a good chase by the sharks boys to get 150 in 25 overs.

[TTJ]

well done wyc
sheidow park and keswick had comfortable wins over mitchellpark and north haven respectively...b.mccormack 6/30ish for sheidow park bowled really well all bowlers did. silson made 60ish for mit'park

[Roseboy]

I also found it very interesting that Coromandel would risk a 2nd straight outright defeat.

I kind of get it though. They bowled the Sharks out for 80 in the first innings, so I guess they were confident that they could do it again. And let's face it, they need all the points they can get. Their tail is also quite long, so why not back yourself. Probably a good thing for a young team like they are.

As it turns out, that + a few other outrights already this year is showing that the teams looking for a finals berth are probably going to have to get an outright to get there. Top 6 or 7 are very, very even IMO.

Hunter, I was never trying to beat up on the ASCA side, i was trying to make a point that if the side is going to be successful it has to go down the path of picking guys who are in form. I agree with you that should pick guys who have played over the past few years who are your core group, but then guys who have been in the association for 3 games gets a gig, guys like Kurt and Tonkesy, even Cheek from Coro, Paul Tam took 31 wicket and scored 250 runs, never got looked at, myself i have taken nearly 60 wickets in 2 years would have loved to have ago, and i know Tucky got asked to play again but he refused, sending the wrong message to the rest of the players i think.

[CoverKing]

Hunter, i agree with you in some respect, but at the same time i am very very bemused with you stating Damien Quirk and Mckinley to get games, quirk has played 3 a grade games, after dominating in only div 5, which does not show much. McKinley is only playing every2nd game for the last couple of years and looks like doing it this year, which i think counts him out. Skinny has done a great job and i guess reputation and those that have been committed get looked at first because they have gone out their way to play. Quirk is one for the future, but that is 4/5 years away. Altho i do think reputation has too bigger say in the side, but skinny does not pick the side alone, he has had a big input from Heath last year, and Hoppy this year, as hoppy has played for a couple years now and was the captain today. Both murphys pulled out of todays game, rowe pulled out, summerfield pulled out (broke his contacts last nite was his excuse). Murphys had their 20/20 so that's fair enough, club over comp IMO. But rowe and summerfield, that would be it for me there not playing next game if i was choosing the side.
Good to see Sampson take 4/24 off his 8 overs even tho they turf made 4/259. Bazza i think reputation matters to a degree but form should always be the number one thing when picking an association side.

Bazza personally i think he should not have played last year. He chose to play lower grades at ur club, i think players should only be picked if they are playing and performing in their club a grade side. eg: the sarge from last year. was good to see him play even tho he was div 2,he did not have the chance to play div 1. When i heard tucky refused to play, it was a bonus to the side, giving someone else a gig and actually picking the best XI. He was years ago, but i dont think anymore. He is not playing in ur a grade and i think he should be ineligible because of that.

[bazza1]

I agree totally with you coverking, do you know final scores from today?

[CoverKing]

yeah we got rolled for not many well actually 9 down at the end of 40 overs..we were 3/78 off 20 then 6/90 but we wouldn have made many more. the sarge after 6/30 on sat bowled approx 2 overs 0/35 after taking 5 for last year against them. Hook made a ton and so did one other bloke there number 5. Sampson top scored with 35 or so i think aswell. Could be wrong on top scorer but he made 35 i think. we ended up 9/130 i just found. hopkins at 10 made 10 not out n brendan mccormack 0 not out. could b wrong!

[Phantom Gossiper]

For those who may like to know, Churches defeated an arrogant Para Districts side today by 9 wickets. chasing 148 they passed the score in the 32nd over, look to have strongest side in many years. Hard luck on the game against Turf! i seen they had a strong side

he was but hasn't played there for 2 years. Didn't play cricket at all last season

[Amateur Footy]

What is going on in our comp? Never seen so many outrights. Where have all the batsmen gone? Only one decent game this round.

Do the association game results get posted anywhere?

[CoverKing]

well atca were 3/24 before a massive partnership got them to 4/259.. it shows u cant rest on the start. from what i heard our side had patching and ben mccormack keep for 20 overs each. ben mccormack and keeping extremley well for the second lot of overs and batting well after being a late inclusion and patching struggling and letting a few byes through..JB made some runs and at a half decent pace which is 'suprising'
better side by far won and deserves it but surely we look at winning the next two games against para districts and churhces.. under 21s on the 23rd of september and possibly at glandore oval from all accounts..

[CoverKing]

Coromandel v Western Youth Centre
Sheidow Park v Westminster Old Scholars
South Road v North Haven
Coromandel Ramblers v Plympton Footballer
Keswick v ICC Sharks
Glenelg ANA v Mitchell Park

they are the game and my tips for the round. Without question the two matches that come to mind are sheidows n westminster, and keswick and icc. there the two matches of the round. I think south roads openers will get through north haven, but if they dont north haven massive chance of winning..
i tipped glenelg ANA but that game is going to be weird, whats happening at ANA? they have a reasonable side and have made not even 300 for the year as a team, and mitchell park well i think there struggling this year. Coro ramblers and icc look to be the sides to beat...
and also JB see u thursday at training with ur new club haha

some good runs thru the 3rd slip region hehe

[Amateur Footy]

Don't write off the Ramblers v Plympton game. Very close in 20/20 and Plympton arn't travelling too badly. Did make 300 odd in drawn game and just won outright.

I think it's early to tell the sides to beat, look at who teams have played. ICC played all bottom teams. We've probably had toughest draw of top 4 to date and WYC right back in the picture. Sheidow 3 good wins and only just in the 4. Looks like a top 7 and bottom 5 already.

I take it Russell King has had a change of heart about which team to play in WYC Bloods? He should be playing association cricket, let alone B Grade.

[Jabber]

New to this guys

Can anyone explain the Warradale fall from grace, they were a very very strong club at one stage 10 years ago, now our B Grade with 0.5 of a bowler knocked them over around 50 runs shy.

Plympton v Coro Ramblers good test for us to see where we are.

Don't take too much out of dinky-di 20-20, we'll worry about 75-75...

[CoverKing]

True AF they have had a reasonable start and are probably spewin they didnt get to play there second day against north haven. I think ur mob are going really well n i think ur batting is going to be way to good for there bowling.
It is a fact that WYC wouldn have got the outright without russell king, he came in and hit the ball out of the middle from ball one wen we needed 8 an over. he is the best bat in the comp, but his body wont allow him to play the enitre year at sec 1 level, and probably questionable whether he will play again in the a grade side! It will be interesting to see where he is playing at next game...
there are going to be a few sides that miss out that could possibly have 7 wins, which from memory has not happened very much in the past i dont think. Outrights are going to be extra important this year and maybe even the quotient could decide who makes the 4 n who doesnt.

[Amateur Footy]

Well when I'm mid-30s like Kingy I hope I'm only struggling to play is Aussie Rules, not cricket.

Don't know why Warradale have fallen apart except from lack of new young players coming through. They have consistently dropped in standard from about 7-8 years ago when we had some good games against them in sect 1.

Anyone know the scores from 20/20 games yesterday? J.Murphy wouldn't have played in westminster's 20/20 let alone association as he needed a runner against us on saturday from an injury the week b4. Interested to see how Belair went. Score on mycricket didn't look right but showed a Belair win?
