That is where I got the Darkhorse from because I think Camo is a chance. He has been Sheidows best bowler this year and probably has 6 or 7 votes. Would probably need a couple of best ons in the last 4 games to win it. I also think Basso could win it but it is hard when you only bat. It is usually an allrounders award as shown last year by the top 5. Fordy was the only player last year who earnt all his votes with the bat. Rowe, Sampson, Pritchard and myself all earnt votes with the ball at stages.

Heath would be a fair chance at the minute with a 70 odd and two tons that is almost 9 votes there. Hoppy will always poll well in the hewett. Ben Cameron and Josh Lourens would be my two outsiders. Lourens has done well with bat and ball at times and Coro are winning more games nowadays.

So with this clearance issue.

The Assosciation allowed some to come back from District duties to play a game ( in the middle of the game? )

They then realised it was the wrong thing to do and wont make the same mistake again?

Now someone who might get dropped from District duty has cracked the shits because he might not get a game one week?

If all the above is correct ( which I gather it is ) just move on.

Jb isn't close to getting dropped Booney.

Also the WOS player who was allowed(incorrectly) to play was on the test match weekend and on another instance when a district game was washed out.

Oh,I see. I tried to make sense of what was going on but I found it a little difficult. All in all it seemed like a whinge though and just like at home I rarely tolerate whinging.

On a side note:

Where have the Plympton boys gone? Have they got nothing to talk about since Heath Streak has not turned up to training or a game as of yet?

were still here.... just cant get word in between the constant dribble of permits and the on going cat fights....
yawn....

Go U Dogs, another big game this week in all grades...

Finals are nearly all but over for the loser of you and Coro.

As i have said numerous times now the association hasn't changed the rules it is now just enforcing the correct ones after a previous error. This has turned into you becoming very bitter towards the association because they didn't allow you to play despite their being rules to say you shouldn't.

then why did craig lawn (the secretary) send us an email earlier in the year after the WOS incident that we all were able to play in byes and washed out games... then change his decision after at the next meeting?

im only bitter as a member of the sheidow park cricket club watching our c grade being belted every week due to blokes in the d and e grade only playing with their mates and the one game they should have won, it was taken out of their hands by a district player... who was given a permit and 1 of phill davis' reasons was that "he hasnt really done much at southern anyway"

at the start of the season i was more than happy to sit out bloods and slegde the youth centre with a slab of red cans... and looks like i will still do that

We were only chasing 132 and plenty of overs to do it. He only played cos we were and are struggling for numbers so he came into our bottom side which is still sec.3 so its not like he came in and smashed the ball around in a sec 6 or 7 game.
The difference is we didnt drop anyone so he could play in our A's. I know its not the point but he did get dropped on 0 and was also out on 4, with a bouncer coming off his glove to the keeper that no one appealed for.

noone suggested JB would take the place of an A grade player, or play down the grades. Simple fact is we have an A grade player unavailable in the 1st week of the WYC game that just happened to fit in with JB's availability. Likewise in the coming game against Morphies we have player unavailabilities affecting the team.

Due to the hard line SPCC is taking over financial situations, we too will be struggling for numbers until players pay up. While this is a club decision to enforce, it has already caused issues with both players and selections. Struggling for numbers is not a valid reason to justify the situation that occurred IMO.

End of the day, it has happened, and has been dealt with at the association. As a club, SPCC would like to think that anomalies like this do not happen in the future. After all that has happened in this season and all the discussion, i would think all are up to speed on the associations stance, and we can look forward to not having to go through all these arguments again.

On a lighter note, it would seem this round of games could well and truly see the end of finals aspirations for up to 3 teams, depending on results! For those that come away with wins, finals chances are still alive IF they are good enough for the remainder of the season. The run home is far from over, and a couple of upsets or outrights could open things right up! Will be interesting to see what happens!

Still here, in awe over 80 club games being treated as a servant of the association, been scratching around the house looking for my autograph book.

Big game for the boys this week, fingers crossed last week's win might bring back some confidence.

With the exception of Harvey yesterday was the worst bowling performance by WYC i have seen a long time. Nth Haven took advantage of it to their credit, although i feel they threw a few wickets away at the end thankfully. They ended up with 229 and we are 2/55. Will be an interesting chase for us next week the outfield is lightning quick and also very difficult to field on, i don't remember it being that bad(bazza?).

CK finally starting to look good with 33* so far, only a hundred to go hopefully.

CK did hit the highest ball i have ever seen yesterday, only went 20 metres from the bat and the bloke camped underneath it missed it by 2 metres, the breeze was very difficult. CK and Pressy were half way back for the 2nd before the ball hit the deck.

[bazza1]

Sorry Bloods if our ground is up to your standards It was looking alright before christmas but since then it hasnt seen much water. The ball didnt see much of the ground while you bowling I hear though

[Gowser]

Can anyone explain the 'intimidating the batsmen' rule?

Russ Hewitt twice this year has called bouncers from Kurt as 'no-balls' (in seperate games). Both were over the batsmen's head by a fair way, but still 'hitable', no other deliveries in those overs were short/bouncers. I thought these would be called wides?
Yesterday i faced a D.Sampson over and ducked 4 bouncers in a row, all were legitimate, well directed deliveries (not as high as kurts, but all around head high or just over). How is that not 'intimidating' the batsmen?

[Booney]

Fair question but I would suggest this.

When Kurt was called I would suspect the umpire viewed the well above head height deliveries as a deliberate attempt to hit the batsman in the head and were just mis guided.

The ones you face you clearly said they were well aimed and no too high, IMO it was your choice to avoid them as they may well have been hookable / pullable and the bowler was not just intent ( in the umpires view) of hitting the batsman in the head.

[Gowser]

Nah, pretty sure he was tryin to take my head off, the call from cover/mid off was 'test out his helmet' (i was wearing a cap). I dont see how a ball goin nearly a foot over a batsmens head is more intimidating than 4 that would hit the batsmen between the eyes.
I didnt really care at the time, it was less potential 'get out' balls i had to face overnight.
I just find Russ's decision making to defy logic. I think he has it wrong and should be calling them wides.

Also, Any of you Sheidow Park lads find a helmet after we played you? I haven't been able to find my Coldie Helmet since we played you guys and i reckon i might need it this week.

[TTJ]

nah sorry gowser wasnt any helmets left behind that i can remember. i think u bring up a good point as 4 bouncers in an over surely cant be seen as anything other than an attempt to indimidate.

[CoverKing]

Gowser, i agree with you. I think Russ has it wrong and should be calling them wides.

Inconsistency between umpires is common in our comp tho isnt it?

With the 4 bouncers you faced, if the umpire felt they were over your head, it should have been 1 for the over and then after being told the 2nd was above head height, the third should be called a No ball? Isnt that the rule?

That ball was high but the other one in the over was just as high wasnt it?? Thought it went for six aswell by the way, but got called 4??

And bit harsh there Bloods, thought that JWKDD bowled extremely well. Harvey was exceptional yesterday! Probably deserved 7 for IMO

[wycbloods]

Maybe a little harsh on JWKDD but i don't think he bowled great he just didn't bowl rubbish like the rest of us.
