[Phantom Gossiper]

If I ever played in the churches comp again, it would be for either Enfield to play with mates or for NEK which is only couple hundred metres up the road from my house.
Having said that Im more than happy where I am and have no plans to move anytime soon.

As for the sand-bagging, well not sure I agree with that one, to sandbag you actually have to be a good player that performs in the lower grades..

[Goat Herder]

Actually with the Herder in a new personal best shape and given his career accolades could he be a sniff for one last swansong carnival?

Mate, we would have to be seriously struggling to fill a side for that to even enter into discussions around team planning! Looking forward to trying to pull the whites on again for sure, but the Carnivals are for the young bucks.

@ Auto - no, still not resolved yet mate. I am pushing for it to be sorted one way or another ASAP for all concerned. We've already lost 4mths of this year in the planning in the lead up to Melbourne 2012 and behind the 8-ball. I believe there will be a meeting of the Exec in the next few weeks to discuss planning for the National Championships and I think my invite has been lost in the mail. I expect resolution to be achieved shortly afterwards. I'd like to say a lot more and express my true feelings regarding the issue, but in the interests of showing some rare diplomacy........

@ p/p - that's a bit of premature evaluation on your part..

thanks bara and.....toot, toot!

whats your opinion on who should captain this side?

I think the captain from this side is missing.......T. Roling was the claytons captain (the captain you have when you don't have a captain) this season so he would be my suggestion.

My Predicted Association Team for 2012/13 (if everyone is available)

T. Hodson
J. Smith
J. Borgas
A. MacDonald
P. Atkins
R. Marshall
A. Roling
S. Holland
A. Harris
A. Balding
J. Clarke

12. A. Gully
13. A. Wehrman or L. Mills

This post is nearly just as tripe as your bowling.....

how does Gully not get in starting team, didnt he take 5 for in assoc match this year? surely better than A.Roling?

Also how do you not pick superbad???? he is the future!!!

You obviously dont know how the carnival is run and the rules for it. The 12th man can be a bowling 12th man and not bat. Therefore it would be Gully. A. Roling would be more experienced than most on turf and is a very good bat with one of the better techniques in the comp. Mills would only be a reserve just incase harris got injured.
A. Roling and A. Gully are completely different players. A. Roling is an all rounder and can pull out some consistent scores. All Rounders are very handy in the one day comp

['Harry']

Interesting side You would know more about Wehrman than me, and no disrespect to the lad, but he hit a tick over 300 for the season and 200 of those came in two knocks at the end of the season, would've thought bit more consistancy would be a requirement?

Gully as your 12th man, you must have rocks in your head! Arguably the best bowler in the competition, just unfortunate he is at a club that struggles so doesnt play div 1 and doesnt have other good bowlers to help support him.

A. Roling? Is this one of those sympathy picks?

L. Mills - when has he ever put his hand up to play assoc? As far as i'm concerned if he hasn't been interested in the past then wouldn't even waste my time considering him..

What would be the average age of this side anyway? Although i'm sure hotpies was taking the piss a bit with his comment about superbad, surely you do need to look a bit to the future, these blokes wont be playing forever then who will you have?!

Wehrman is a very good bat. He made 47 against us in the first game we played them and got out to a very good ball. He looks like he has a good technique for turf cricket and is a very good driver of the ball.
Phantom, i thought u of all people would know that the 12th man can be a bowling 12th and not bat.
A. Roling is a very good cricketer with lots of turf experience. Consistently scored runs last year, just failed to go on and hit a big score.
If you could read i put at the top of the post "if everyone is available". Mills is a very good bat and fairly quick scorer which is what u need in a one day comp. Also u need a backup keeper in case the first choice gets injured.
Well Borgy, A. Roling and Harris are all u/23. Apart from that it would be mainly over 30, but these are the best players in the comp. At the end of the day u need the best team to win the comp, no time to blood youngsters

Sorry didn't realise you were picking the side that way, I thought you were just picking the best XI players followed by a 12th and 13th man. You know Gully can actually bat when he applies himself and people show some faith in him, he has hit a 100 and made numerous 30s & 40s, but everyone including his own club have just pidgeon-holed him as a bowler who doesnt know which end of the bat to hold!
Wehrman, well like I said I have no idea.
Im not sold on A. Roling still.
"If everyone is available" - well we dont live in a fantasy land, how about picking a more realistic side?

Meh either way I really dont care, doesn't affect me.

He's deffinitely no mug with the bat thats for sure. But i have seen Clarke's hitting ability and could be a plus side. Wehrman is also a handy off spinner which will mix up the bowling attack. Don't think we had a spinner in the last carnival and i think it would be good variety.
Aaron is a handy bowler, took 17 wickets last season and he made 250 runs. Good all rounder stats there.
Well then it would be neccessary to take Marshall and Pistol out then i suppose. I have heard good things about this Mestroni bloke, he would be a chance as an opening bat, probably add reidy in the squad too due to he can wicketkeep aswell

mestroni no chance to open with borgas, smith, hodson, neal and graham in the sights of selectors. might need to step up to a grade cricket to have serious chance.
