Para Districts Cricket Association 2010-11

[SmithyOTH]

I think you should make a phone call mate

who to? wanna facebook me or something browny? Or you have my number.

Maybe just maybe the OTH boys didnt get a invite because PDCA is worried they will swap to the Churches league at half time? Just a thought

what time is ur show on at the Fringe Festival?

[Thats Gold]

First post and i'm straight into the cyber betting craze.........provided it's ok with u LM.

$30 on Lodge to beat Panthers, into S.Baker to outscore J.Nuske, into Sals Nth to beat Wasleys.

Cheerz mate

Welcome aboard, no probs and a 120.95 return.

Tx mate, reasonably confident in quadrupling my money:

Lodge will have a home ground advantage at that pathetic excuse for a Grade 1 pitch (Greenwith).
From all reports S.Baker is a pretty solid bat & J.Nuske is hit or miss.
And surely, surely Sals Nth wont lose to Wasleys.

[catchit]

Like Stama said though..... Super did personally invite guys at the T20 day.

None of the stalwarts of seasons past were keen, so I guess guys were rewarded for training etc.

Sad but true. (insert Metallica riff here)

Yeah but some people may feel like there not good enough to just rock up and try out maybe?
Creedy didnt even no about it for starters and the likes of b jenner were not asked who imo is the best keeper batsmen going around atm, angle vale boys were not at the 20/20 so prob didnt no about it as well? as phantom and gunnerson said being asked is the way to go i think..

[dark & stormy]

sounds like pdca has the same problems as churches, I mean churches leaves it all for 1 bloke the big herder.
so why dont a few of you older lads (catchit, phantom) or who ever try and take over and run things? or just get 1 person from all teams to put their hands up and help out, just a thought.
on a other matter you are never too old to play assoc games, I watched the old fellas at r&c the other sat and some of them still have it . maybe just need better communication between the players and the assoc team selectors imo.
other than that will see you lads on sunday , good luck to both teams.

[Lightning McQueen]

It appears John McInnes doesn't make the PDCA XI

Likewise with McCarthy, can tell you although he isnt overly fussed he has said he wont bother putting his hand up in future.

Wasn't training at 10:30 on Sundays?

[Lightning McQueen]

That would be the best 2nd 11 at best that team, there is a couple in there that would make the 1st 11.
Come on lets not bullsh!t here, Hargraves? Keeper from PG? A couple of young blokes? WTF is that about? People not being personly invited has made PDCA look like a week comp, i have no doubt the likes of Ozlins, Sibbick ,Leo , Stamatovich, are to old and slow
There is plenty of other talent out there and for them not to be contacted is a disgrace, relying on a bit of paper to get the message makes it very unprofesional and needs to be looked at for the next game. Why wouldnt Scott want to contact people? Maybe not his job but why not take it to the next level? I sure hope its not because he is worried about losing captaincy to a better player?

The keeper from PG is outstanding mate, there's plenty more bowlers loafing around before I'd pick Lynch, I wasn't at training so I can't judge on what was there to go by. Players would be more likely to attend if they were personally invited.

I agree. I'm still waiting for my invite!

[Gunnerson]

Smithy. My show was going to be on foxtel but i found out the producers of Wife Swap are in Australia starting a new reality series called “ Club Swap“ . My show has been put on hold.

I think Brenton needs to make another score before he can be called the best, i have never seen him keep so i cant comment on that, is it 5 runs if the ball hits the milk crate he stands on?

What is the keepers name LM? Where is he from? How many runs has he scored? Pretty hard to go past Chad for best keeper.

Barry Dowling, can't bat for sh!t, hangs around but has an inability to score freely. He got more stumpings than catches last season.

I would love to be involved in selection but have never been approached... I think trainings are just a way to pick a side on who ever rocks up.. 12 people should be picked and suspensions given for not rocking up if it was to be serious.. I remember kev thomas telling me he was available a few years back and didnt rock up and im pretty sure he was suspended?

brenton has done more than enough with the bat with the oppertuneties he has had, and his keeping has been outstanding... as for the milk crate? unfortunatly it would be 10 runs... he uses 2 crates

you may as well stay home then and watch 'Grumpy Old Men'

[dark & stormy]

yes catchit, I agree fully mate, there should be penaltys for being named and not having a good reason not to play.
I remember the good old days when you would be ecstatic to be chosen to represent your assoc.
maybe too many young ones in teams nowadays that play for themselves ? it is fine if people dont want to be part of assoc but then dont complain when a team is picked and then bag the crap out of it. well this is what happens in churches anyway ,
I am 40 and still playing because too many younger guys have soooo many excuses why they cant play good for me but surely their should be enough players to fill a side.
do you have the same probs in your assoc.

[Executive Member]

40 on McInnes & 40 on McCarthy for the head to heads thanks Groover.

sounds good I will follow but will have $100 on each

Also load me up a $100 on Browny head to head

Then $84 on Davies to clean up on the Sunday

Thanks Groover

Valid point regarding complaining about the selected side if people claim they are unavailable.

2 pretty handy bowlers stated their availability but weren't selected which has raised some eyebrows though, and is the point of discussion really.
