Hopefully the weather is good Saturday cos if Coves batters are on fire 419 will be chased down

26 degrees, and no hope.

Aus made 434 in the ODI and got chased down remember. Cove will have nothing to lose and will play their shots from ball one. If it comes off, there is every chance we could have a long day in the field

What does Plymptons fall, and possible relegation do for Greg Pritchard as captain? Surely he is a chance to be sacked from the job?

He wasnt exactly the best leader, fielder, or captain against us this year and many other sides have said the same this year. His attitued was poor. Wouldnt be a bad idea to get someone else into the role i would think

Ill agree with that.

Bad Call.

Fair enough to have your opinion on things but keep it to yourself when your naming and attacking someone directly.

Plympton will handle its affairs as it see's fit, and when it requires other's opinions it will ask for them.

Greg has the current comittee, and the 2011/12 planning comittee's full support.

[wycbloods]

Doesn't sound like Andrew Wright!

He umpired a 20/20 game last year or the year before with me representing plympton umpiring also. He was right from the first ball being the centre of attention and the players from both sides just wanted to get on with the game. His constant hold ups, especially in the second innings where "crowd participation" got a few from the WYC side a bit riled, were unnecessary and simply added fuel to the fire. His handing out of a 5 run penalty in the game was rediculous.

In footy, when it looks like players are going to get heated most GOOD umpires will get the play moving asap so the players stop worrying about arguing/fighting and get on with the game eg at a stoppage they will bounce/throw the ball up asap. Holding the game up does not help and it is the same with cricket IMO. 2-3 minute delays to talk to someone just gets the rest of the players more fired up.

So you are happy to name and attack Andrew Wright but it is a different story when someone does similar to a person from Plympton?

Well in actual fact if you want to get technical, my post related to one particular match where i cited instances during that match by an individual adjuticating in a cricket match, all facts written without doubt occured in said match. I also not once suggested that he may be in the firing line to be sacked, nor did i suggest that in my opinon he should be sacked as an umpire.

The attack on Greg is suggesting that the club would be looking to sack him, acusing him of generally not being the best fielder, leader, or captain in general, has a poor attitude, and that he suggests that in his opinion greg should be sacked.

You are comparing apples and oranges i think.

[Jabber]

Ill agree with that.

Thats the thing about forums like this i guess, its pretty courageous to post something on here, how about standing in front of the person and dishing out your opinion.

If I could talk to Greg about the things I saw in our game I would. You ask anyone at the ramblers that im not afraid to voice my opinion. I never said he should get the sack, just that in our game he didnt captain the team well. nor perform to anywhere near his best. what plympton do is up to plympton

Maybe you guys could have another crack at trying to lure him over

Actually wrote a post back on Jan the 7th about the possible relegation of PFCC ... which not surprisingly was glossed over by Jabber. That has been the problem the past few years, too few have too big a say and unfortuntely have their heads burried in the sand. This possiblity of relegation has arisen because of the pathetic way the club has been run recently !

Greg has just copped the backlash and i feel sorry for him ...

[zero]

Pritchard couldn't captain the popeye down the torrens. (My opinion before i get attacked!!) But in saying that, I couldn't imagine anyone else from plympton doing the job. They also run the risk of losing him if he's not happy. They can't afford that either!
You can't blame him for there poor season or relegation though. They're a very young side. And most sides will experience the same problems in the next few years (again, my opinion)

Stop wasting time on here and get on Oasis-Active and find yourself a desperate bride!

Its people like you that have things to say on forums like this, but walk away from the real stuff when it matters that are the real issue. Not sure how you can have a go at people who put thier hands up to do work for the club, or any club, while others put up fake aliases, even go to the point of putting up different footy clubs that he supports to try and put people off the scent, and sit back and bag...

Thats where the cancers start in clubs, not with the hard workers.

You had your chance, you walked away, go get yourself stuck in a lift permenantly!

Look, lets just ease up on a guy that is working his guts off for the club.

[Amateur Footy]

Very poor form to have a crack at a comittee in a public forum IMO. Cricket clubs only exist because of these blokes. Voice your opinion at the AGM and if your not prepared to help, don't voice it at all.

Pritchard won't be at Plympton if they end up relegated - he said to his players against the Ramblers

Agree with your first comment wholeheartedly.

Right this very minute plympton are in Section one, and as such we are in the process of preparing for season 2011/12 in section one. Any other bridges that need to be crossed between now and the first game next season will be crossed in due course.

Very touchy Jabber ! My beef is and has always been with certain people who are put in a position and abuse it for their own ego .... Cricket clubs need cricket commitees and not individuals pumping their own chests !

Have made that point on many occasions and not just here .... And yes i proved it through actions as well by stepping down but maybe if you actually listened at the time the club wouldn't be i so dire straights as it is now. I can tell you now that all the ex players that made this such a great and successful club would be hurting by these results !

PFCC A grade 2nd bottom .... PFCC B grade 2nd bottom !

So let me get this straight, your way of helping now is by being a recluse and a trouble maker on SAFooty?

Good clubman!

This is the man that couldnt get to an AGM one year because the Big Brother Finale was on!!

Well we didn't exactly lure him over, he came to us, we had a meeting, we got him cleared, he attended our agm. A week or so later he asked for a clearance back. Looking back on it, happy to let him go after winning the premiership thatyear and seeing where his cricket has gone since.

And for personal attacks Jabber? Get a life. I questioned if his job as captain would be secure (expressed my view that it would be in trouble) and then expressed some facts (just like you reckon you said on Andrew wright) that his attitude was poor (constantly telling his team mates if they got relegated he would leave, having a go at them for screwing up), his fielding was poor (dropped three catches because of a fly/sun) and captaining well, he didnt want to bowl to an inform Kingy, Hopkins and the likes. He wanted to bowl to our lesser knowns because he could than take the wickets.

Don't get me wrong, the bloke can play, but should be doing better on the field as captain and a player

CK not worried about that now, dealing with another issue!

[wycbloods]

Well CK has started something here .

Personally i believe Greg's approach to skippering the side, i can only go by what i witnessed and that of others i have spoken to from other sides, has been to put forward the younger players he feels have talent and give them a go in section 1. He has obviously felt this is the best way to go, that is clearly debatable and i think what CK has questioned is has he hidden behind this and used it as an exucse to not stand up and try and lead the side by example and hopefully have the younger members of the side follow his lead.

For example he hasn't bowled nearly as many overs recently has some of the others in his side. I think Greg is held in reasonably high regards throughout the comp for his bowling, again my opinion but it looks from afar that he has put the development of the younger brigade ahead of what i would consider their best attempts to be as competitive as possible.

My thoughts and not sure whether people agree or not but i am certain people criticising the PFCC committee on here isn't going to solve any of the problems that have been discussed.

It is much easier for people to sit back and criticise than it is to get of you arse and help create some change at your club and perhaps that is where some people should invest their time instead of having potshots at those who have given it a go, whether they were successful or not.
