Grade Cricket

[Bulls forever]

Sleepy isnt going anywhere this year (he was probably at the Para Hill Community Club having a few chandies and spoke out of tune AGAIN)

The Club is turning over a new leaf currently

Cammo has been appointed Cricket Director and Assistant coach he has already set the wheels in motion to guide the club to where it needs to be.

A forum involving players, coaches, administrators and volunteers is being held next week to discuss all parts of the cricket club. Only positive results can come of this.

We have a good young squad and now possibly the best facilities in the comp with the re developed net area and club rooms. The wickets are improving and hopefully(yet doubtful) the footy club wont rip the ground up to much.

Para Hills C.C. Appoint Senior Coach
Para Hills Cricket Club is proud to announce its senior coach for season 2010/11 is former test cricketer Peter Sleep.
Peter who lives a stone throw from our oval has decided that while he is still senior coach of Tea Tree Gully District Cricket Club, that he can form an exciting link between both district and community cricket by coaching Para Hills on alternate nights to district cricket.

Para Hills as a community cricket club are very excited by his views and coaching philosophy and hence have changed our main training session to Wednesday nights this season. Para Hills Cricket club fields 5 Junior teams from U/11 to U/17 and also 4 Senior teams in the Adelaide Turf Cricket Association.

Cricket coaches are over rated anyway. So, it's TTG Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. Para Hills Wednesdays. By my calculations that leaves Monday nights free for Sounda to coach a hard wicket team!

i was obviously wrong about a bloke being able to coach 2 clubs, but not sure in best interests of TTG, will waitn to see where this heads, nwhether withn approval of board, this has disaster written all over it.

It's a problem that any club with depth faces, there will always be blokes too impatient to wait their turn - up to the Jets to provide the club environment for these blokes to want to hang around. Can't help a few leaving along the journey though.

My understanding is that the senior coach believes that "A" grade places are for those who are members of state squads.
Selection is not based on performance.
I am amazed that Tim Cronin is the only player to have currently signed with another club.

Bluey, not sure you on money there, didn't Francis play 2's last year despite being rookie at SACA and my info is that Borgas was one game away from the 2's out there. Certainly can't argue with their record though can you. I think if you asked any one around grade cricket which squad they would want, pretty sure nd would be in top two at the moment. Fair history of developing theirn juniors out there and unfortunately when you develop that many, some will seek opportunity elsewhere. Coach has very good record and well respected by players based on info i have.

I have it on good authority the only spot available was the one occuppied by Mark Hanson because he was not in a squad.
Cam Francis made way for Lachlan Hall but only after Hall made 360 plus runs in 3 games.
Greg Bain had to wait for Ben Wright to return to the UK for preseason with Glamorgan before he got a chance even though Ben really struggled .
Mark Hanson did time in the B grade as well.

The reason the Jets made the grand final was because of Bain, Hanson and Hall but because they weren't in squads it took quite a time to replace those that were.
A reason given at selection for not selecting one of these players in A grade was that he had too many outside distractions....like work.
Apparently there was a bit of angst on the dropping of Cam Francis because he was in a squad.

Will he attempt to poach players to TTG from Para Hills and vice versa.

not sure the opportunity will continue 2 coach 2 clubs, only time will tell. u maken a good point about players and loyalty and where it belongs. what are para hills in A3, this decision can only be based on money and what is best for sleep, nothing ton do with clubs involved. I think this decision will be regretted, certainly put in jeopardy his day time job as curator at TTG, he probably didn't think about that. We await the outcome.

The overseas player argument continues around a lot of clubs, but bottom line is that bain, hanson and hall all have had prior opportunity ton play a grade and came up short. Yes, they did have good finals, but sure frick, marks and co wouldn argue 11 person game, not 3. Came up short against best team anyway so argument is mute, no one remembers who came second. My point is you perform at nd and you will get a game, which should be the same at all clubs. don't know anyone inside, but coach is only there because of players and respect they have for him. he could point to the scoreboard which would be in his favour at grade and saca underage level. never underestimate the strength of your admin, has been well structured and run for considerable time RIP BRUCE.

Sleepy seems to be baffled by the PH announcement?

BF, the board and the new cricket director must address this quickly!

[Vintage Red]

I hear the cricket director is after Sleepy's job anyway.

Cammo is cricket director and Assistant Coach(along with bowling, batting and fielding coaches). He has done a heap of work off the field also and set up a great program for the coming summer. He has no intentions in Sleepy's job this season, as for next season and the one after... who knows? he may have aspirations to be a head coach? i dont know

is someone playing games here, pretty sure it would not be the club with an announcement like they have made. might be all alcohol and ph community club based talk by the great man, keep us updated fs u seem 2 have the contacts, obviously confidentiality is an issue i certainly wish the club 2 resolve quickly

I think the main issues is the start of your 2nd sentence BF. Confidentiality isnt an issue in this case as it was announced... TTG have to sort it out and Sleepy has to also if it is actually incorrect.... Who knows whats going, but im sure Cammo and Neil are addressing it.

we will wait and see i guess, training starts in 2 weeks so we may find out then.

what if this was an elaborate plan by para hills to announce sleepy as coach, knowing that ttg would sack him , then securing his services as full time coach of the phcc

No club will sack a coach before they know the full facts, apparently he is providing assitance at PH as directed by SACA, PH have made it sound like he is head coach, he may only go up there every couple of weeks and do some skill work with them!

[Footy Smart]

The Start, ive heard that Graham Manou wont be playing Grade cricket this year? any truth to that?

[oldeagle]

Callum Bailey to Glenelg apparently so he can have a bowl.
