Para Districts Cricket Association 2010-11

hey guys new to the site but looking forward to posting on cricket issues with you guys have a good xmas and safe new year and bring on next year missing playing already or should i say attempting to play and its only been 6 days lol

[Thats Gold]

we haven't trained there yet but thats a very good idea. I think its ok, good change rooms, viewing and shade. The oval is a good size - a few pot holes here and there but nothing that cant be fixed. and as Papas says a good home ground advantage.

A few pot holes, looks like the oval is a rabbits playground!!!

If they can be fixed why aren't they? Someone will do a bad injury on this ground.

The changerooms are the only good thing about that venue!!!
The oval surface is uneven and predominately dirt and i wouldnt be suprised if an injury occurred their in the near future.
The deck holds up a significant amount and proved slippery for the bowlers in their delivery stride.
I suggest this will hand the Lodge's As and Bs somewhat of an advantage against teams travelling there for the first time.Thank God we only have to play there once.
Now ive had my say on the matter we can move on.

Yes does seem a bit generous, maybe middle order in a few grades lower.

Eastern Pk only have teams in Grades 3 & 5. If it's who i think it is wouldnt think he would even slot into their B Grade middle order considering how strong they are travelling......but you never know.

[whufc]

I know nothing

im off to the orthapedic wednesday so i will find out where my season is at. Hopefully i get good news to take into the new year, im noy sure what to expect but at this stage i can barely even move my right shoulder at all.

Geez, I think you guys need to harden up a bit. Ever played as Wasleys? or Eastern Park a couple of years back? says a bit about Craigmore I reckon - it all gets too hard. predominately dirt??? Rubbish. Totally agree the pitch is a bit slippery. No argument there. advantage? yeah a bit maybe, but thats what home grounds are for - I will recommend we have centre wicket training there once a week in the new year to make the most of whatever advantage there is, since people are going to have a cry if we win there anyway.

[Phantom Gossiper]

good to here mate!! just looking through your side on pdca its a very different side to what you had last year i know you were not captain but seems only about 3 players from last year where did the rest go?? i thought for a div 4 side there were some good older players in the side last year!!

You'll prob find most are playing in the one day comp in the D grade. We picked up a lot of young blokes who are pretty good and with the A grade getting blokes like Daniel Jenner, Ben Stama, Bomber and Jimmy McCarthy obviously few blokes filtered back down to the B grade make us very strong.

Yeah some good older guys down there for sure, but lets be serious thats what grade 8 is about, these older blokes who are reaching the twilight of their careers and keen for a hit and giggle going out and having some fun in the lower grades, playing one dayers which is no doubt easier on the body.

These blokes although prob capable shouldnt need to play in higher grades, sides should be looking to the younger blokes coming through, they are the future of the club.

Sides like BL, SW and this year R&C all appear to have great depth and are winning or being competitive in their higher sides so it just shows they dont need to rely on those blokes.
