It's still the same, but ive caught the cricket bug this year and want to liven this place up again! Because its something else to talk about on a Saturday! And to click on at work!

So here are my predictions for this season,


A1-Where the don't just play because they love the game, the professionals.
Woodville Rech to win, although this could their last horrah with some of their big guns contracts up.
Marion to go down. Been lucky to stay up, and heard they are losing some of their youngsters due to lack of opportunity.

A2- Real cricket, Woodville South to win, got a few solid players heading up their a grade, more than enough to put in performances every week.
Brahma Lodge to go down, honey moon over, one olayer isn't enough here, and a2 has bowlers that can bowl a whole over in the right place!

A3- underarm, onehand onebounce rubber ball cricket. Reynella to win, got some promesing young guns and a3 should suit them well, dont think they will cruise it, but with a game to spare.
Hectorville to go down, not the playing group, more the hierarchy in the club, a few cracks starting to show, hope they get over it before it effects on field activities!
-side note, who is hope valley's backer? Looks like they have recruited some decent players, but like man city first few years with all thos egos, no success.

A4- No one cares!!

Brahma lodge are a strong unit.. they have some handy players who have played high grades of cricket, Tume, Sibbick, hooters, Richo, browny, mills are all capable of changing a game in a matter of overs. I wouldnt be taking them lightly at all

Peeping through their gym windows again??
There once was a bloke named Fracka,
Scored runs since he was a young tacka,
But alas not anymore,
his shot selection's been poor,
and now they call him QUACKA!!

Don't think the cheque book was a massive factor, not getting a run as far as I was aware. Will be a very handy in for Pooraka.

I believe Marion has gone from A3 to A1 in two years so not sure how they are lucky to stay up?? There has been one retirement and lost players due to work and overseas travel, but considering the B grade being in B3 and struggling and the A grade losing 5 or 6 games in two years hard to say lack of opportunity. And i can gaurentee you there are not many young players out there!

Sounds like there is more depth in the kiddies pool than at Marion!! Definite relegation!!

O'Connor?? Please, are you guys trying to tank? Hope you guys have a good batting line up, because if he gets the pill, you'll be chasing 400 plus scores all year :roll: ;)


Batting line up in the c's is looking quite healthy thanks masha ;)

No surprise Eckerman is at Hope Valley. He would follow Watson to the toilet if he could!!



Half the gepps team will not be lining up for them this year.
Zammit, day, wyatt, McMillan to name a few

To lose 3 of the top 4 batsmen must hurt.

Do they have the players to cover for these losses??

Also, I assume every club is represented on the old forum still? If anyone knows of a club that's not, give them a nudge to get back on here, we all enjoy a fruitful forum.

Which club do you represent?[/quote]

I have never been affiliated to any turf side, and it's been a long time since I was at a club full stop. But over the years I have watched many a cricket league from my camping chair, and the Adelaide turf league is one of my favourites, with it's many dimensions and characters. 

If you still play a grade cricket then you will probably see me at one of your games. I just choose a game that looks like an interacting encounter. Pack my camp chair, binoculars, cheese and Vegemite sandwich, and head to the ground, sometimes I get to two in a day.
