i think if PDCA put there best eleven players on the field they would match it with ATCA and Barossa.. didnt one year the PDCA 11 drew with a jets in a one dayer? cossie and duvall played i believe

I played in that game for PDCA. Jets were a mixed bunch... but there was no Ryan Harris or Chris Duvall.

From memory Steve Busbridge opened the bowling with Kevvy Thomas. Miles Picton, Pete Thomas, Mark Cosgrove, Andrew Costello and Andrew Perkins all played too. Cant really remember the rest but they were certainly taking the piss and not overly serious....but we were certainly out to win.

I will categorically say the best PDCA side would not get anywhere near the best ATCA eleven.... Matthew Elliott, Mark Harrity, Brad Young, Ben Hook, Mike Watson, John Hopkins, Glen Ashmead, Jamie Marsh etc all have played at least second eleven cricket at state level.

I cant believe people believe it would be a contest.... Having said that, only 2 of them are playing on Sunday.

Just playing on will be a challenge after this season (I'm getting old fast)..... One week at a time.

what about a B&L vs PDCA game next year on a turf wicket up here?

would be good but very one sided, dont think there would be many guys that could handle the likes of J. Vandeleur and i think the batting would be too strong with the guys they have in the side

More one sided than PDCA v ATCA ?

In fact I do remember reading the B&L comp was stronger than ATCA......outrageous.

i think a B&L vs ATCA game would be one sided OZ, so no it wouldnt be more one sided than ATCA vs PDCA. The top players in B&L i think are of a higher calibre than the PDCA. The likes of Boh Wall, Craig Reimann, Brett Lydeamore, James Vandeleur, Rob Johnson, Craig Hosking and also guys like Anthony Prior and Dan Doecke would be too strong. Just my opinion

Geez mate, you guys were underachievers in the PDCA last season, you seem to be doing allright this year.

our cricket has really improved this year LM a change of scenery has done us wonders and there are different players stepping up at different occassions when the last few years we probably relied on a couple of players to always do the work.

the attitudes towards the game among the 12-14 guys that can play a grade at the club has also been a massive improvement

and before you jump up and down it would be the ATCA side winning in a one sided contest

smithfield and cent united prob the block buster out of the two grades.. be an interesting outcome

on grade one can virginia keep going and knock of rosies and if they do will there be another finals contender?

what are your thoughts?

Smithfield 8/448 defeated Central United 179
Raed Hannun 205* included a 220 partnership with Shane Rundle for the 8th wicket. Morris chipped in with 87 aswell.

[skywalker]

Wow Lightning... thats a drubbing in the end. Did Centrals bring a full strength team? They were on a bit of a roll in Gr 2.

I see Craigmore beat Playford and Parafield Gdns got an outright against Eastern Park...should take them to the top of Gr 2 with a 4 horse race for the rest of the positions. Playford need to string the next 2 as wins as do Craigmore and Central Utd now. Should be interesting to see how it unfolds over the last 2 rounds.

Good outright for the Lodge yesterday. Bowled out ATCO for 153 and 100 odd after making 239 and 4-90 odd declared. Fielding was atrocious, 12 or more catches went down by us over the 2 innings. Unknown bowled with zip that has never been seen, and took a couple catches as well. That sews up finals, hopefully win one more out of the last 2 and that will be 2nd spot also to us.

See OTH beat AV, anyone got scores from Virginia vs R&C?

Heard some interesting things re assoc game today. Apparently groover rocked up to play and told not selected - prob fair enough given his last game performance but prob a phone call would have been the right thing to do but of more interest is who came into the side. Have a look at the top 20 batsmen on the run scorers. Maybe it would be one of them. No. Someone who couldnt even make his own teams one day side.

I believe R&C got up with one wicket in hand, needed 30 odd 9 down and got there

He is a useful player in 2 dayers and Im sure he is just answering a call up so not his fault but I bet no one else even got asked. U could text each delegate from Div 1 and 2 to enquire if their top players were available and i bet u would have around 10 names. I know Matt Hargreaves and Shane Brown from our club are keen and in good form but were not asked and Im sure other clubs are the same
