SS... What does premierships have to do with it? If he performed in these premierships then your point is valid?

I have played in 5 premierships and not done a thing, does that make me a gun?

It makes you a Gunner's son though.

And now have a son playing in PDCA. He is a Sonofagun

No but that makes you a team player being lead by the right leader.
If you were a Capt of a side and didnt win a flag well then you would think to yourself that you have under achived. I know I would.
Cricket is a great team sport and like the rosies have done over the past years we have not had a gun side but have played as a team and had some good outcomes and some not so great. The rain gods would tell you this.

What clubs have you played for Gunner?

[Wizard of Oz]

You cant hold a bat for blokes as captain though.

You can claim cricket is a team sport, but a lot of the time its determined by individuals dominating when its their turn.

Dont get me wrong, I'm huge on team dynamic, and working to plans etc. And as much as an astute reader of the game is important to success, you cant get on a skippers back because his top 6 get knocked over in a crucial game at a crucial time, thats outrageous.

Hey PG, is that your work with the mycricket data going back to 03/04?

Still working at it... Must say its more of a pain than i thought when you 1st havent got blokes listed as registered players and then trying to decipher some of the very ordinary scoring efforts!

yep always had me how hard it is to count upwards for some blokes

I just looked on my cricket to find that it was Brenton Jenner that made the 100 last game, i thought it was Daniel because from what i remember Brenton held his spot by being the only one who could keep? Has he improved his batting?

I have seen brenton make alot of valuable runs in my time in pdca, but after now playing with him i have now found out he reads the game as good as anyone...

[fineleg2fineleg]

Fineleg has been quiet. I wonder how he went at training last Thursday?

training went fine on thursday and tuesday actually. not a problem, and there never will be a problem. we have a good team ethic at the club and just because a few guys disagree, which is always going to happen, does not mean people are goin to target people in the nets. so yeh all is good. only reason i been quiet is there has been nothin really spoke about on here that interests me the last week or so... just sitting and waiting for a conversation to jump in to.

I have no doubt he is a good reader of the game, i think SS Minow has taken what i said the wrong way, i have played alot of cricket and have seen some quality bats in my time and if Brenton is the leading run scorer at Rose and Crown it puts him up there with the best of them. I judge cricketers on there statistics, my son who now is playing in the PDCA has started recording his own stats as he wants to knock his old man off.

[Gunnerson]

Merki i am not going to reveal who i played for or who i am.

[unknown source]

brenton wouldn't be in rosies top 5 in batting.. a ball on my hips would be over his head.. he got a 100 well done

I judge cricketers on there next game, not a big fan of stats and wouldnt have a clue of my stats... your only as good as your next game, last weeks months years games mean nothing if you cant perform in the next game...

[Phantom Gossiper]

Personally i dont think you can always judge a person on stats, ive seen blokes who knock the ball around for 20 or 30 and share in big partnerships, and help set the team up. id rather take a bloke whose consistantly going to stick around and build a partnership than a bloke who might make a 100 or make nothing.

That's just a cliche mate, so Steve Waugh is crap because if he plays tomorrow he'll probably score sweet f.a? there comes a time where you think you can play on and be a number because you used to be good or you can bow out on a graceful note and allow a younger player the opportunity to take your spot.

At the end of the day, stats don't lie mate, I've had a few good knocks in my time, a 209 run opening partnership in a 1 dayer, 3000+ runs for my club but at the end of the day I've only scored one century. I've had people praise my batting over the years but my one century sums it up perfectly, that's all I deserved, I wasn't and aren't a very good batsman.
Oz made 3 on the weekend, he'll probably fail again more than once this, it doesn't take away the fact that he's probably the most valuable wicket for a bowler in the PDCA still, he has an ultra-impressive record and the stats don't lie, same as Stama and Sibbs.

[Lightning McQueen]

BTW, i wasn't trying to bignote myself, I've been handy for a 20 to 50 but my luck generally runs out by then.

spot on oz... i think a good captain is one that can read what batsmen are doing and also bowl the right bowler to them, and then set the right field for it.. Batting comes down to the individual and is out of the captains hands, all he can do is lead from example ie not throwing his wicket, and also give the batters confidence with a little pat on the back when needed..
