Para District Cricket Association 2012/13

[Tee Off]

Good day out at Ridley, Rosies bowled Craigmore out for 106 in the first dig and let them have another hit. They finished 6 for 110ish.

A day full of plenty of laughs to.. Didn't mind young 'Wilfred' lol. Also a good sesh afterwards at the club then back at Moffa's

could be a long season for craigmore i reckon. had a large score put against them, then spoke all week of there "batting depth" and strength in the batting line up. 16 wickets for 216 runs isnt a sign of a side with a strong batting line up

Your probably right but its been a great effort by them to get to div1

In all seriousness we felt there batting was there weakness I think last year we had them 6/110 & 5/30 in the two dayer and 9/90 in the one dayer.

It was there line and length bowling mainly from the quality dads army trio of hewett, dobbo, Richards that won them games. Last year we were to inpatient to deal with it

well they relied a lot on hewitt last season. he tore through a few teams batting line ups. a good bowler, but i dont think he will be doing the damage to sides this year that he did last year. the quality of batting is much higher. teams will even sit n see him off comfortably and can then make hay with some of the other bowlers. and for years they have relied on dobbo to score runs, aswell as elliott but i cant see that happening with both into the twilight years of there careers. will be interesting to see how they go

What's happened to staying for a beer after the game at opposition clubs?? So far at one tree hill this year in three weeks one opposition player being the captain come over for a chat.
I just don't get it. The captain on the weekend gave his fielding votes as he was walking past going to his car.

Totally agree norm played westies and 6 of our blokes went over to have a beer, not one acknowledged us or even looked at us, is a disgrace, wont be including myself in welcoming back anyone from there again in the reverse fixture. Rather spend 4.50 at our club then 6 bucks at there's anyday anyway. Well done to young Josh Glenn for smashing 115, this lad will take apart grade 1 attacks

Which grade 1 team is he going to?

Wont be Salisbury west, tell you one thing though you guys lose Justin and Johnny Mac and you're screwed, depth of bowling in your 2's is not very good?

[whufc]

Agree with all that but I don't think u wanna be to critical of a club coming up to div1 with a few young guys having a crack and competing each week.

Ebbs and flows last years side would have been very competitive if not better than OTH last year.

hey dont get me wrong, i would love for them to stay up because i love playing against craigmore. its always good fun with a lot of banter between myself n a few of the guys. its always a laugh.

last years side? as far as i know the side thats playing this year is pretty much the same side is it not?

but thats just how i see it for craigmore this year. i think atco will comfortably secure bottom spot, and i reckon craigmore will have to fight for safety with possibly virginia who seem to be struggling. i know virginia always start slowly but i dunno if they will pick up the slack this year with other sides being a lot more competitive

Micky Richards played last year and he was pretty vital to there attack beautifully. He complemented al nicely

They'd just have to delve into the junior cricket factory yet again then...

Depth of bowling in our 2s is about the same as in your 1s. Most of the bowlers are guys who played C grade last year of haven't played for a few years. Funny though how much you guys didn't seem to like us, since you were the ones carrying on all day.

Why was young Jonesy getting chatted continuously then by the umpire? The young fella ripped into me and I hadn't even said a word.

Umpire was telling him not to go any further. If he'd gone too far then he'd have been reported. Your square leg at one point decided he knew better than the official and kept saying he needed to get him under control. The official then said that your guys had been doing exactly the same the whole game and he should stay out of it. Not too hard to see why so many blokes in grade 1 last year thought Smithfield were a disgrace, worse than Parafield Gardens.

[Phantom Gossiper]

oooh and the claws are out between Shmiffys and westies!

Whatever, we had a great relationship with most of the clubs. Running into someone deliberately while you're batting is in the spirit of the game? lucky he ended up flat on his arse, you had all Saturday to sprout your shit then you wait until Monday and do it online, I think you're forgetting one minor detail, I was there too.

[Wizard of Oz]

Play nice gents....

We had no dramas with Smithfield in the 1's.

Lethal Dose is the one who started, was happy to let things slide. I didn't see or hear of anyone being run into deliberately. Not sure which bit you think is shit, feel free to point out the inaccurate statement.

Only got 14's and 11's out there mate, it's becoming an epidemic, kids don't really want to play cricket anymore.

That old "he started it" chestnut LOL. Lethal merely questioned the depth of who is generally the strongest club in the PDCA, you started the slanderous comments, you didn't let things slide.
You were scoring when the batsman ran deliberately into the bowler .

Then most clubs would be in trouble then. Particularly if they lose 2 of their best cricketers as Lethal Dose questioned...

Pick 2 out of any club and see how they go. I reckon Westies have covered their losses more than adequately in recent times. And are covering the loss of their premiership captain and GF man of the match this year again.

I wouldn't be questioning Westies depth more than any other club is what I was getting at. The whole side have come through the junior system. No imports.

Wholeheartedly agree, you have always seemed to get away with chucking kids in at the top and watching them blossom.
