What's happening down at the Sharks this year...? Did people expect the slide or are they a sleeping giant that'll awake after Xmas??

dont think you can wake up from 1-4 buddy, i would say they would need to win every game from here and maybe an outright to get a sniff, even if they did win every game 7-4 wont be enough!

u take away bowen, ledgard and berry! sambo and tonkes dont seem as if they has the same intensity as last year either

and 2 of the 4 games they have lost could have gone either way so theyve been struck with a bit of bad luck too

No........ don't think i do but I think you mean that you expected it then Moe??

To lighten the mood a bit - thought I'd post this 1-handed catch I recorded and put up on Youtube from day 3 of the test. Doesn't even spill his beer - my new hero.

Pathetic post, especially considering the game was virtually decided by the toss of a coin. IMO you are losing all credibility on this forum with posts over last few weeks.

Spewin not having credibility on an Adelaide and Suburban cricket forum. Losing sleep bloods?

Very true, but there are those of us that choose not to post S**T all the time. A whinging president doesn't say much for you club either.

The point I was making is that the situation of our game was very frustrating from our point of view. I don't disagree with you or) when you say some of the behaviour was less than ordinary and whilst I am not sure what action has been taken against all your model citizens I can say that a couple of our players have been warned about their on field conduct. As for a whinging President that is just laughable coming from you AF, he who whinges the most.

What about left armer, wore glasses, think it was only his first season last year, rod or rob..?

a.chucka, Rob Coliocovo, Came from Mclaren Vale. His mate Gus is back at the Vale this year. Thought he went to callington but just looked & couldn't find him there

B.E.A.utiful.
Just when i thought this forum was full of people who liked to chat intelligently & with some wit about our great game, & that i would have noone to argue with along comes jb. I will dumb it down for you a bit so you can keep up. Your boozy, early morning mouthful may not be on here any more for one reason or another but here is my rhetoric (that means comeback). Yes Morphies oval is a pastie shape in footy season due to the goals being misalighned. During cricket season it is a wonderful oval, covered in lush green grass, great CLUBROOMS with clean toilets, not a rock riddled 10 cent piece with a 50 foot drop from one side to the other at a primary school in the middle of nowhere. Congratulations though on being right anout me, I am a veg. As to your comment on us all being cum stains on your sheets, one way to help that situation jb, get yout team mates to swallow.

Bit harsh on JB there Moe. Think he generally talks a bit of sense And as he said, dont know if its true or not, he left his login open! He was right about the pastie shaped oval and i think Sheidows farm is better then you give credit for. It provides a great place for our Garden Gnome to hide thanks

I hope everyone showed sportsmanship this week ...

Bazza showed great sportsmanship by not laughing at me after he put me over the fence for a decent size 6. I appreciated it greatly.

best game of sportsmanship i have played in all year was last weekend against haven, the banter was tough but not over the line, was played in the right spirit, only other game i can say which was close was sheidow.

Ours could have been much better if there were 2 sides playing to win. It is after all what we play cricket for isn't it?

Bloods not so much the not playing for a win altho facing 71 overs on day 2, but coming from Caleb777 is a bit rich, when he was "trying" to sledge after fetching the ball all day, mainly off his 9 overs, and continuing to sledge Hoppy who was in the 60s at the time. Sportsmanship a question, well look at yourself and the captain! I believe how votes are awarded after the game are just as much about sportsmanship then wat happens on the field. Dead set, Miller is nearly ahead of Calderbank IMO. And from a WYC point of view, thats hard to do!!!!! And RB is you were referring to me talking to you after the game, then really go ahead because Calderbank is a joke! We heard that the other week, the bloke was trying to say he was allowed to bowl the first over of the 2nd day, after bowling the last over of the 1st day

Best sportsmanship iv seen in cricket, was Sheidow and WYC last year, where both sides got some rough decisions (shediow got the worst of it) that could have but didnt in the end affect the match and both sides continued to move on and have a bit of banter about it, and not worry about the umpiring, and continue to play the game. However i think that was JBs best friend umpiring. Last week he umpired our B grade and called a ball that was a wide and dead ball, as a no ball (with a dead ball signal) and wide (no ball signal). Whats his name again??? Still to this day, dont understand how he gave Mal out!!

So far, i would without looking too much into results, i would say McCrae and Basso are definites for opening. Curyer to bat at 3 (best bat bats at 3) well he shouldnt be there, and neither should sambo IMO. Devine, im not sure, one score is it?? Mackay is a definite, im not sure on facts but is he the only person to score 2 centurys in the first 5 games since Richie Press around 3 years ago? And if ya ask Ramblers, Ben McCormack wont be keeping!!! But as bowlers, i think its obvious Hoppy, Rowe, O Malley pick themselves! Tonkes unlucky to miss out IMO

Also young J. Quirk and his leggies seem to be coming along quite nicely. Looks like he has improved a lot since last year! (not saying he is in the association side)

3 and 4 the worry in that side. Without looking at statistics have they made 100 between them? Plus Sambo doesnt really bat at 4 i dont think! Not sure what Scott Luders needs to do to get in that side JB!! But im happy to pay that i was wrong RE: Heath, altho he still has not made runs against a good bowling side

[jb]

Neil Stallard, and after that game he had a stroke

then i was suprised to see him umpiring the sec4 or 5 grand final by the end of the year and he gave me old man out lbw and it hit him on the thigh pad.

but with all due respects the guy is a good bloke but he just cant umpire! it is honestly a joke that he continues to get games. weve had him 4 times in the games ive played and everytime he gets a scathing report! so what is the point of them if they dont even acknowledge them?

so ck what does sambo have to do to get a game after he was our best player in every single game last year, if bmac wont keep then naismith or patching will play, devine and hartlett have made more runs than luders? and also rusty made runs in 2 of the 3 games last year and captain the last game, u cant just turf him after that

I heard about him having a stroke, and hopefully he can make a full recovery and his health can get back on track! Good luck to him with that!

He seemed a really nice bloke we had him JB, but i agree he cant umpire, however, this is why he will not get a sect 1 game again, and i dont think the association is in a position to knock back an umpire no matter how bad they are. Unfortunately thats the way it is with umpires at the moment!!

I know Affix8 still gave him a good report, thought he was alrite, just his communication skills are far too behind thats required as a cricket umpire from A8's point of view!

Better to have a neutral ump that is consistently bad then a biast umpire isnt it? i think so!

Yes obviously Sambos performances last year would come into it! To be honest Rowe, where would he play? yes he probably the best player in the comp, however he would not make himself available! ANd from what i hear, Sambos opening spell against a star studded turf line up, he does deserve to be picked for a long based on that. His batting i think, tho as a number 4 bat, i personally could not justify!

Im not sure where Hartlett came from in this discussion, but trusting what you have said, he has made more runs then Luders as has Devine, however im sure Luders average would be either 2nd or 3rd in the comp would it not?

And Bazza would be able to shed more light, but surely if someone was going to be picked at 6 in an association side, then they would want to be able to score at a quick rate which luders is extremely capable of doing! IIRC Devine, is one that likes to bat long periods and be extremely patient, such is his runs in the 2 day format!

You can enlighten me as to our 'model citizens' and remind me of all my whinging tomorrow night. I expect you have something to support that.

Since you asked, our players have all been told that any on or off field indiscretions will result in suspension or relegation with no more warnings and all players are comfortable with that. I also think our captain knows where to draw the line between between a sledge and stupidity. If I thought he didn't it would be my responsibility to step in. Would you do the same at WYC?

[CoverKing]

PS: I rate Naismith as a keeper, and as a batsman! I think he could be a player to make 400-500 runs next year and get Plympton further then they have been in the last couple of years!

Also for mine, a good bloke and someone that Plympton can look to learn and be led from!

Devine, is one that likes to bat long periods and be extremely patient, such is his runs in the 2 day format!

i liked to bat long periods of time too in the 2 day comp but pretty much went at a run a ball in the oneday stuff... he can adjust, and im sure sambo can bat at 4... if you are good enough to open then you can bat anywhere...

whether rowe would want to play is up to him but thats a different story alltogether, you would pick your best 11 wouldnt you? not just the 11 you think would turn up on the day...
