Para Districts Cricket Association 2011/12

Mate, for the record I wasn't having a go at your keeping at all.

And I completely understand why you came up to the stumps, but as you saw, the percentages say the ball just doesn't stick off the mediums more often than not when you're up to the stumps.

We had an A Grade district keeper the last few years before this year and I'd still tell him to go back for that simple fact. Has nothing to do with keeping ability....its playing percentages.....thats just my opinion.

Nah you're all good Oz.. Didn't take it personally. Was just expressing my interpretation of the topic mate. Agree with what you're saying about percentages.. Sometimes though extra pressure needs to be applied. Especially when a bloke's batting half way down the pitch! Lol

i hate seeing the keeper up when i bowl no matter how good he is..its off putting for me

Yep...and makes us look even slower

Lol

[footys the winner]

Just for the record we got Scotty out with a edge to the keeper upto the stumps to Stevie ritzema. If its a feint edge the keeper should take it alot more times then he doesnt.

Yeh I don't think this was a faint edge I think it
Deflected off the bat half a meter and swung a half
A mile. Lol haha

I've heard one, LUKE JOHN FLANIGAN from Rosie's will be making a trip down to Mofflin Reserve next season if Daniel Thomas returns to the club...

Thats true, after single handedly leading R&C B grade to premiership glory he has agreed to help out the poor mob at Central United gain success in the top flight

[Phantom Gossiper]

Congratulations to Andrew Carmen on winning the McKenzie Medal, a thoroughly desevered winner and arguably if not the best, then the most influential player this season...

and to think he thought I was joking in the semi when I told him he isnt the shortest priced favourite since Black Caviar..

[Phantom Gossiper]

In other news from the preso night..

more than a little embarassing that the Grade 1 premiers couldn't even show up to collect their awards

Also Para Teachers in Grade 4 got club of the year.. WTF?!? How does a single team club in the lower echelons even come into consideration?!?!

Scott Keylock apparently was sniffing around for highest bidder for his services next season. Opening bid began at $10 and a pizza but after polling 6 votes in the McKenzie believe it blew out to $10 and THREE pizzas - All party!! Craigmore have firmed as the favourite for his autograph..

[Phantom Gossiper]

OH and Al Hewitt from Craigmore got the medal in grade 2 by I think 2 votes from Parker (ATCO)? Well done

Rather not make to the final dance and get embarrassed by dropping sitters (talking to you catchit)...

Thats a good winners attitude.. "rather not make it" .. hmm your right i'd rather be battling out the last two rounds to avoid relegation too..

I've heard Steve Sewell to CU to play with his old mate Miles Picton whom stated on Sunday this season (his first at CU) was his most enjoyable season BY FAR!... Bagster, can you shed some light on this and the possibility of securing Ace Griguol Jr's services?

i know nutink !!! bit early to speculate, wait until september 30th, then we will see who is where... we, like all clubs want to improve and recruit... Ace will have many clubs after his services, he will do whatever he wants to do and we will speak to anyone who wants to play for us. and Milo has stated many times (both drunk+sober), he really enjoyed this season, the youth and enthusiasm they bring makes it very enjoyable, hopefully more so next season with a few more wins..

[bagster]

Oz, what was Scotty Mc on the first time he was dropped and how easy was it?

Yeah, 5ish...

Smoked to cover between knee and ankle height, but straight to the fielder. Was closer to ankle height, but didn't stick.

The next one was next over.... Keeper up to the stumps to the medium pacer....NICK !!
Keeper being up pretty much takes the nick out of the equation. Ive never been a fan of that.

Grenville did it to me in an association game and the ball got through him went for four and we tied. I hate it bigtime, takes any slips out of the game aswell.

agree, not a fan, especially for no reason, maybe if the bowler is getting charged, ok, but really too many negatives , nicks, slips, byes, ... no for me

dissapointing not 1 swcc player there... not fair for griggs, he deserved better for the effort he puts in for those guys, they embarrassed him. para teachers .. definately WTF... cant work that out, had some luck for 2 weeks of the season and they are club of the year, joke !! .. congrats to all players and clubs on their awards , OH !! and well done to Central United for the Spirit of cricket award .. caps off a great year to a unit...

[Lucky For Some]

thats a typical comment from a loser. i heard you was going to get stuck into me on the weekend? get all shy mate?

[catchit]

well done A Carmen and well deserved.

[Wizard of Oz]

Well done Andy....was my tip to win it. But runs and wickets and having the best season doesn't mean you'll win it.

And to those slagging us off.... We were at the presentation that really mattered... About 4:30 Sunday afternoon and having drinks with our good mates, Rosies

perhaps a review is now in order on how the award works
should be a minimum number of sides to qualify
