well well well.....get to the ground on sat, and got met with the ump , my skip, seaton skip and the opening bowler....
got warned if their is any trouble we will be banned from the assoc.
good way to start the game I thought ......wasnt even me and their bowler who were at war in the first place
but all in all game was actually played in good spirits . and I personally bought their guys a drink after the game
and had a good laugh with the seaton boys.
and no shorts or coloured shirts were to be seen
maybe the assoc warning worked or maybe we all just wanted to play some cricket , either way was a good game of cricket.

Biggest Anti-Climax Ever!!!

Interesting, obviously the exec read the forum so why wait until the issue gets to the point where the opposition players feel the need to act to fix the problem.
Why not address the issue via the Seaton club after the first time it was raised as an issue. Would have prevented half a season of a club not meeting the standards that most would expect as the minimum in relation to attire and player behaviour. Instead treat the one bloke who speaks up for the better of his association like a school boy.

Thought you were better than letting yourself get censored smasha.

not sure it was meant to p*** me off or not....but when you call me to the meeting with both captains and another bowler,
well found that to be a p*** poor effort. should of spoken to the captains only.
I thought it was a joke and so did my team, who calls the bowlers from both teams to get a warning ?
dont worry , like I said I was p/off then, and still pretty angry about being involved in what I consider a joke the way it was handled. the exec should talk to the teams captains , not the players.
will be my last season in this comp.....think children could run it better. IMO ONLY... might play one day games back at turf I think.

Hey Smasha dont leave who will run the greatest indoor cricket team in south oz. good to see you came to your senses and didnt fire up against seaton mate they only drag you down a level but really they are a good bunch of blokes just with a bad apple who seems to have turned it around from earlier in the year. keep on truckin smasha

Did Rob O'Gorman miss a game of cricket for a Bucks Show? Pretty poor if true and I would have expected better from him.

[bara-stick]

Were are you smasha? load up mate what the score for finals positions. Heard fitzroy will now miss finals. also heard the knighters are certain final contenders now. rose park has all but sucured top spot and a home final. any chance to beat the juggernaut down the road at Para vista? what do people think?

[One Ball Bandit]

ok, here is my honest opinion on teams for this season........
[b]FITZROY.....[/b]
too many captains and not enough team players,
young harry tries to lead but is never here, how can you captain a side in div 1 when your away some of the time.
they have on paper one of the better sides but cant put it together till it is too late (what a waste of talent) strong normally after xmas....WTF... try winning before then and you will pick up some flags.
PARA VISTA......
too many stars in their own minds....again good on paper but fall away some times (especially this season)
marshall is a good player , but would be nice if he takes his head out of the clouds and remembers he is only good when the team back him up....they will still be in the top two come finals....
ROSE PARK.......
sorry to say they rely on clarke, couger and reidy too much......imo
if clarke doesnt destroy batsmen then most teams would make 250+ against a not so strong bowling line up.
same with the bat, normally if couger or reidy dont make runs they tend to have very mediocre run tallys.
ADELAIDE LUTHERAN.....
GOT TWO PLAYERS ONLY , 1, nitzke and the kid who lets every one know he can bat you know the one......
NORTH EASTERN KNIGHTS.....
gotta be carefull on what I say here.
but we have alot of one day players playing in a two day comp, especially me......
pete atkins , great batter when he wants to be....slow down a bit and would be fantastic.
mills, great also but in the same boat...
baldo...well once a hack always a hack and bowls straight ...thats all.
got a couple of players that will do well soon but alas we will find it hard to win flags if we dont get new blood soon....
SEATON.....
DEAD IN THE WATER AT THIS STAGE....
NOW, WHO WILL WIN......
ONLY THREE TEAMS WILL HAVE A HONEST CHANCE .....ROSE PARK WILL PLAY IN THE G/F.
NEK, TO KNOCK OFF PARA VISTA TO STEAL A SPOT IN THE G/F......
ON THE DAY ...WHO KNOWS .....IF WE PLAY TO OUR ABILITIES ALL TEAMS HAVE A CHANCE EXCEPT , FITZROY AND SEATON....
ok this is not having a shot at anyone but merely my thoughts about the teams in churches at the moment...
there you go fire away lads , I got big shoulders .

[dark & stormy]

wow.......
this churches site is dead......
might start posting on pdca site , at least people are actually interested in cricket....
where is everyone ? we need some fun on here.
cant expect me to be at work all day and actually do work
surely there is a little bit of goss , or maybe I upset a couple with my last post.
which was not what it was meant to do....now follow on with what you guys think of teams in churches.

Hey Smasha,

I can only comment on Rose Park as i have watched a few of there games and i dont think they rely on Cougar and Reidy as much to make there runs this season. Grubby there opener has made a few runs when he plays. Bruce Gordan will come into form once he gets used to hard wicket and Ralph, Hooter and Neal will make runs.
With there bowling, yes Sharky has taken a few wickets but i also think a lot of that comes down to the pressure up the other end. I think Henderson, Riddler, Bruce gordan, Ralph and a couple of spinners bowl ok.

I think they are a more balanced team this season and hopefully finish better than last season.

Just my opinion.

I for one apreciete your candidness smasha. keep on truckin mate.

[dark & stormy]

DKL... I am only saying from what I have seen when we have played rose parks, not a go at anyone just my thoughts ...all good and I do wish them luck . hopefully someone will knock off para vista and the way rose park is travelling they will.
and to you mr BARA STICK ALL i SAY IS

I disagree with you on this one Smasha. We probably have the youngest side in the competition. I agree we have a lot of talent, however not applying it with the bat mainly. We havent scored over 200 runs all year. But we are actually still in finals contention, I dont know what everyone is talking about. U guys are talking as if u already have an outright, which u dont. So what you are saying is that we dont try and win games before Christmas? Everyone at Fitzroy steps onto that field and tries to win and i dont doubt that for a second. And as for too many captains, i have no idea what u are on about here. I dont think somebody can comment on that if they're not even around the club and sees what happens within the club. Im not having a dig at ya Smasha, im just backing up my team.

Just my opinion.

I believe Rose Park have a well balanced team and are a real good chance of the flag this year. Sharky is consistently picking up wickets, Hendo is bowling areas and keeping the pressure on which is helping sharkey. Wimberley is a class spinner and batsman. He troubled me most of the day on the weekend.
Ill be able to comment more on the batting after the weekend

now young harry.....
you say you dont know how I can comment on your side when I am not at your club...fair enough
but then you comment about my comment about ROSE PARK......hmmmm double standards there young fella...
also as I SAID, i AM ONLY STIRRING THE POT MATE, you all should know me well by now...
if you guys make the finals , then good luck to you, but honestly if you cant win a game until the near the end.
well you and finals are well and truly over. not a shot just an observation.........

No i said you cant comment on a team having 'too many captains' when you're not around the club to know that. Everyone is entitled to their opinion about our poor batting and how we aren't fulfilling our potential. Well i believe our finals chances aren't over. It could well and truly come down to the game against you blokes. Yep we have definitely made it difficult for ourselves but we are gonna have to knuckle down and play our best cricket if we have a chance of making finals. And i believe we can

Sorry Smasha. I have had to work!
Here’s my 2 cents worth

Rose Park: Apparently Minor Round Premier already? News to us! Still need to win some games before we can take that title, but we are assured of finals now. Pretty obvious we had to improve our depth from last season and with the recruitment of Henderson, Wehrman, Bruce-Gordon, Hassett and Ralph I think we’ve done that. Our fielding at times last year was deplorable, but those guys mentioned have really helped in that area. Bowling was our strength previously and probably still is, but out batting has improved considerably, considering our 3rd leading run scorer last season is batting 10! Reidy, by his own admission had a mare of season last year, has struck form, and Clark has been IMO the player of the comp this season.

Para Vista: Still for mine the team to beat. You don’t win 3 flags in a row by chance. Boast the best bat in the comp in Jon Smith, Tarca is making runs, Marshall is having a better year with the bat and McLeod has been handy. Still think Marshall is their key bowler and will need to bowl a lot in the major round. Whilst their depth has been tested this season, I still think they’re the best fielding side in the comp which will only see a good side on a good day beat them finals time.

Adelaide Lutheran: Think we played these guys on a bad day for them as we had probably our easiest win for the season. Thought they might struggle with the loss of Stancl, but J.Borgas has stepped up, and Hauser has made runs against us and the season. Have a host of medium pacers with Briene and Johnson but they’re money man and arguably the quickest bowler in the comp is Matthew Nitschke. With him aboard and on song they’ll post a danger to any side.

NEK: I think it is fair to say they can be hot or cold and their record this season proves it. Have beat the reigning premiers, but have lost to the bottom side. Boast a dangerous batting line up with Atkins, Mills and Balding but all are attacking batsmen. If they all get going on the one day are gonna be tough to beat. Thorpe has probably been the biggest surprise packet with the ball, and whilst Balding isn’t making the runs he’d like, is still taking wickets. With debatably the oldest side in the comp, will count on all its experience come finals time.

Fitzroy: Would consider their season a disappointment at this stage. Lost the leading run scorer from last year and have not recovered. Aaron Rolling has had a good season, but his brother Tyson would have liked better, particularly with the bat. Spry has continued his improvement and picked up a yard of pace but probably needs a bit more support from the other bowlers. Their season is not dead yet, but are hanging on a faint pulse.

Seaton: Will finish bottom. Their bowling attack isn’t too bad from what I’ve seen but their batting is brittle and relies too much on young talent Harris and Traianos.
