thats not as scary when im not the idiot down the other end facing him

[Mythbuster]

I dont dispute your commitment statement there. Trav trains every Wednesday for us and never lets us down game day. As a selector, arent you supposed to select the strongest side you can select. as for trav not contacting the association, He has stated his interest through myself and if called Im sure he wouldnt be the first bloke who has been called by the selectors with first contacting them. And I know for a fact that 'Goat Hearder' doesnt like him. It was one of the current association squad members who told me.

And on Dylan, he was exciting last year. He hit 600 odd runs playing division 4. this year he has played 4 div 1 games and hit 31 runs... Is that form?

Good luck to the boys today, sorry if offended anyone but I feel the side selected isnt as strong as it can be but that just my opinion.

It would only be if your opinion counted that I would be offended. For starters, you’d think after the amount of time you’ve played cricket, you’d be at a level tad better than your average backyard D grader, and it goes without saying that you have no idea what it takes to play at this level. It takes commitment and passion, and anyone lacking in one or both of those categories, is going to find it hard to fit into the C&CCA representative environment - we don't tolerate passengers. And until you actually know something about the selection process, I suggest you keep your inaccurate assumptions to yourself. And as facts go, perhaps i'td be a good idea to get yours straight. I most certainly don’t dislike the player you speak of, I question his commitment and passion, which is FAR different, and quite frankly he hasn’t proven otherwise. Trainings are open to EVERYONE. Check the website. Check the minutes from the Assoc meetings. Check the information your Club’s exec receive. Put up or shut up. Simple.

As for the inferior unit that was unfairly assembled to represent OUR Association today, well they must’ve over-achieved significantly to bat first and post 181 all out from almost 39 overs – Jon Smith compiling a classy 43, combining with the anonymous and out of form Dylan Goedecke (36) in his debut representative match to put on 67 for the 4th wicket, with cameos from Giglio (20-odd), Wright (17) and Hill (11). Baldo and Gully opened up with the cherry in-hand in the ASCA innings, where that imposter Goedecke pouched a sharp catch off the last ball of Gully’s 1st over. Baldo rattled the pegs shortly after and then Lee “Who The Hell Is He?” Hill replaced Gully and soon had 3/0 off 3 overs – yes, how ‘Miraculous, hey?!?.. The FIVE time C&CCA Carnival representative finished with 4/25 from 8 straight overs - despite not being rated by some particular keyboard cricketing Bradmans with no freakin’ idea.. Domanski chimed in with 3/27, with Giglio taking the last wicket, with Eddie “Mr Imparja” Graham-Vanderbyl pouching his 2nd sharp slips chance to dismiss ASCA for 116. A great result for this bottom-of-the-barrel pool of talentless misfits..

I look forward to you taking up lawn bowls or at least some other sport you might have some faint idea about in the near future Mr Miraculous.. NFI.

two quick points...

Mr. Miraculous, I can only assume you were testing your new stand up routine in relation to your comments about Travis Uern. That bloke has less idea about commitment than Tiger Woods.

And sorry herder, did you say Goedecke held a catch. Now we know your full of shit.

[bloodybouncer]

Wow herder, GREAT pics. I particularly like the one with the fella on the ground. Silly fool, no helmet. LUCKY it hit him in the neck.......no blood

As for the pics on me, note 1) head over the ball on the drive, but still too much bottom hand, and 2) GREAT bowling action...arm hight, left arm tucked in. Suuuuperb !!

Now, who is this Mr Miraculous bozo?? For the record, i rate HILL and CRAKERS the two premier bowlers in the comp. Spin twin has become a force to deal with....but my therapist has told me not to talk about it

Was a great win, and full credit to scooter and herder for their time in organising raining and chasing people up. i just hope i dont break down for the 3rd carnival in a row (and hope i can get a gig.....compeition is heating up!!). i think the tide has definately turned for the churches boys, and we still have some great names to try and get in the squad.

[auto]

Wow Onion, way to fire up the masses....reminiscent of the old bubulla. Good win by the association then...well done lads especially those players and coaches who have been working over the last few years to build a competitive side. Cant believe tho that BB still gets a bowl!

Heres one for Ecky, if as predicted Brooklyn Park, Mawson Lakes North, and Central Missionary Position fold or reduce teams what is the Executive doing to stop this comp going the same way as the old Independent Central?

hey hey i think its great for the assoc you got the win up, but everyone starting to talk like you won a flag or something? its progress but its a long way to go before you can pop the champagne corks and get wild

I don't think anyone's getting carried away with anything mate, it's just good to see some concrete reward for our efforts. After being the competition's whipping boys for so long, it's a nice change to be the one's inflicting the losses. It also gives the coaches a nice filip seeing the results starting to show for their efforts too.

After stitching up your Association ( ) by 9 wickets last year and now beating ASCA comprehensively (and giving them a run for their money in 05/06 & 07/08), I think the 3 hard-wicket comps are reasonably comparative. ATCA are in a class of their own, and anyone suggesting otherwise is kidding themselves, BUT if we can get them to lower themselves to play a match or 2 on hard-wicket, PDCA have proven they're beatable in the past on this surface.

Then again, if they fielded their very best side, no other comp would come within coo-ee of them ; Waugh, Young, Harrity, Higgins, Taylor, Morgan, Hook, Ozolins, the 2x Southams, Marsh, Mitchell, etc..

have been overseas for a month and just catching up on all the posts ,wow some godo reading. good work by the churchs to win i read. atca would be the strongest i agree with there best side above .did we field our best side last week if we didnt who would be in our best side and with them you think churches could come close to atca?

or get them to field a side from the current Limited over A grade. i have no doubt our boys would easily account for them... turf or hard wicket.

I guess its pretty hard to judge since obviously associations have blokes not interested in playing, i wouldnt mind seeing the premiers from each comp square off in a game, that would make for more interesting viewing i think!

[Goat Herder]

Agreed mate, but I guess you can only play who you're up against on any given day, no more, no less. I'd suggest the likes of Mills & Marshall for example would strengthen our side even more, but the guys who've put their hands up for the SAMCA Cup from C&CCA can hold their heads up high. I know ASCA will be out for revenge next year and we'll be looking to smack PDCA again like we did in 08/09. It's all healthy competition played in the right spirit, which can only be good for SA grass-roots cricket.

As for predicting whether C&CCA's best side possible would seriously challenge ATCA, definitely not on paper..........................but cricket's not played on paper..

[carey]

Gee havnt afew blokes fired up on here Jesus just imagine if we lost the game mr m or who ever he is would be flying right of the handle! My advise would be for you mr m if you have a view, advise or any other suggestions to help the ass. Side insted of slagging coachs, players and selectors on a forum hiding behind a keyboard when it's clear they know who you are anyway! why don't you make a phone call or get this bloke out to training or at very least ring the coach so he can be selected

[carey]

Unless I'm wrong and slagging people on a forum is how to do things these days?

[Goat Herder]

Even worse when the players you slag off perform like stars in the match..
