Para Districts Cricket Association 2010-11

[OKC!]

I wonder how fineleg will go at training tomorrow night?

nothing new for everyone to be asking him what the F*@# he is on about i assume.

[interested observer]

You must admitt Smithy that from a outsiders point of view the whole thing stinks of a selfish cricketer? The point fineleg is making is a valid one, he obviously isnt close to Matt and is seeing it as it is, who cares why he is going back? The point is he is going back and is leaving a team of mates, like someone said, would he be leaving if he was on 200 runs and 16 wickets?

Matt played all last year at TTG and started this year at TTG. He is a TTG player, so how can he be letting anyone down at OTH. Surely everone at OTH would support their team mate's endeavour to be successful at a higher level. The point is that he should never have left TTG and gone to OTH in the first place. Everyone makes mistakes.

He obviously made a hasty emotional decision based on being lead to believe he would begin in the 1s on the back of last years performances and was picked in the 2s..
A bad decision??? No doubt...
Haven't we all made a bad choice at some time based on emotion ???
Good luck to him and hope he makes it back in the As...

does this mean its time to get stuck in to jye bailey as well??

i can see that it doesnt look the greatest from the out side, but who really cares what it looks like, it doesnt mean anything. No one wants to see matt fail and all his mates at OTH support his decision. your making it sound like he is having a dogg of a year and leaving because of his performance. he has only had 3 innings and taken 10 or 11 wickets. Not that bad of a start.

He has been constantly pressured by the TTG coach, the A grade captain and many players daily to go back out to TTG and made him realise that if he wanted to give district cricket a real crack and see how far he can go with it, he needed to do it now rather than waste his time in para districts.

not much more to it than that.

Is that what your suggesting everyone else in PDCA is doing?

[Wizard of Oz]

Wouldn't not wish anyone luck if they were leaving to play a higher standard, particularly at a young age. Nothing wrong with that at all. Different story if he was moving to an opposition club within the association. I'd ask the question as to why he left TTG in the first place though?

i didnt suggest anything. Para Districts is a great comp. i have been playing in it for 14 years. But you can only go so far with it.
if you want to take your cricket further, then you cant go any further than playing div 1 hard wicket in para districts.

I think everyone is missing the point here, either there is alot of friends of Matts on here or everyone is after him for next year.

He left because he wont play B grade, pretty much sums the bloke up right there.

Gunnerson you obviously have no idea of the situation or Matt Rogers himself......

Matt believed he was going to be picked in the A grade for round 1 (understood the caoch had told him of this), had completed all trainings and felt he deserved a spot after a solid pre season. It didnt eventuate and he made a hasty/poor decision which he has now fixed. He was at training last night, hands were shaken and the TTG lads are more than happy to have him back he is a quality cricketer and great bloke to have round the club!

If anything Matt is the bigger man, he put his tail between his legs, had a solid hit out last night, met with Sleepy and Weavs after training and all will/is forgotten. TTG and Matt have bigger fish to fry now!

Dont read to much into it lads

So to cut along story short he left because he was picked in B grade? What happens next time he is dropped? back to OTH again?

Can only go by what you blokes are saying, and he left for one reason.

So when have any of us said that he left cause he wont play B grade?

[fineleg2fineleg]

Thats a very strong point of view there mate, and one i take my hat off to, Matt Rogers needs to toughen up a bit and realize you cant just come in and dominate, i dont care who you are, if you start a season you finish it, show some character and dig deep for your team mates, not yourself.

i think its funny how people get on here and just judge people with out having a clue what they are talking about. Fineleg, how can you come on here and throw out a massive assumption like that without having a single clue about why he is going back to TTG? your just guessing and taking a stab in the dark. Did Rogers go and speak to you and tell you that this is why he is going back to TTG? if not, then why start more rumours?

Gunnerson. what i said about matt rogers is not a question of his character or digging deep for his mates. From the very little time i have known him at the club he seems like a good bloke and a well liked person around our club.

after speaking with matt rogers on facebook and after recieving a call from him clearly he was not too impressed by my comment about him. so i just wanna clear up to him, his mates, and whoever else reads on here and has jumped on board with the matt rogers conversation that i was not calling him selfish. I probably could have worded better, but what i have said has been slightly take out of context. after speakin to him on the phone i gathered his main reasons for leaving the club was the quality of training which i can kinda understand. And what i was tryin to say when i say Matt Rogers plays for Matt Rogers is that he is committed to his cricket, his goals and achieving to the highest level he can and clearly OTH is not the highest level he can play.

I dont mean any offence to him, his mates or his club (TTG or OTH) by sayin what he said. the point i was tryin to get across was that he seems to be committed to his goals, and wants to achieve what he can. and obviously there will be players up at OTH who are disappointed by his departure but thats expected coz when a player of quality joins a club along with that comes a lot of hope and expectation so for that player to leave so soon can be a shock and a let down. but good luck to him at TTG or any club he joins in the future

guys, I have known matty rogers for awhile now and I am a firm beleiver of you got to play as high as you can while you are still young enough to do so, you cant blame a guy who believes he can play div 1 turf to go back to it if he is only given the chance to play in a lower div. cmon who wouldnt do the same thing and be honest about it. put yourself in his shoes .
matty all the best bud and good luck.

Hence thats the reason I'd question him leaving TTG in the first place.

Alas, as mentioned, the tail is between his legs and he's having another crack.
