Angaston are crushing Gawler Centrals in their one-day final at Freeling Oval. (moved from kapunda due to wet ptich)

Thats a disgrace that the assoc can change the game at the drop of a hat!
Gawler Central finished top in the 1 dayers, they deserve having the advantage of being the beneficiary if rain affects the game.
If the assoc wanted to have a back up hard wicket game thats fine but surely you need to stipulate before the season or at least the start of the one day rounds what your contingency plan is, not make it up less than 24hrs out from the semi final!
Disgracefull.. If I was the captain of GC I would've refused to play at Freeling on the hard wicket.

According to my reports there was a four person meeting on Friday night to change the venue if Kapunda was too wet. Gawler found out this on arriving at Kapunda at 12:00 midday, when the umpire said where going to Freeling to play on hard wicket its an executive decision.
This begs the question why are not all one day game changed on a Friday night to accomodate wet weather instead of listing them as a draw?


urely the competition is due for a new president or one that acts in a professional manner on and off the ground, this sounds like a backyard cricket competition with rules changing every five minutes to suit indiviuals on the board and not the associations best interests. Time for a change.
VOTE 1 - Daniel Doecke for president.

I read about the saga that happened that day (one day semi)

Is the president a muppet - he seems to just make up rulings depending on how he feels.

Thats not how the league should be run - he needs to go - the sooner the better.

How he is allowed to be in that position of power beats me - but I suppose if no one stands against him.

Seriously.....is this a joke. Build a bridge mate!!! Plenty of people have a crack at him on here but would be nice as pie to his face, why doesn't someone put there hand up and replace him,

Common sense prevailed that day, anyway real stuff happens from next week, bring it on!

[Shoot it]

Scud - you seem to taken this all personally - you a bit lovey dovey with the pres.

Whilst common sense is a valuable asset to have - obiding by the rules and actual bylaws are important in running a cricket league.

It just seems the president needs to realise this.

It is however the B&LCA, not the SK-CA.

[Red Rocket]

Looks like Ango have one hand on the minor premiership. Barring bad weather they should belt Tanunda outright with plenty of time to spare. Cant see the other 3 matching that. Anyone know how GV match going?

Reports I have heard is that GV were trundled for 104 and Nuri are 2/40 in reply. Don't know wicket takers, run makers though.

Going to be an interesting final day of cricket this week.

No wouldn't say lovey dovey, RESPECT is the way I'd explain it. He is 1 of 3 guys who has the most influence on my cricket, and I probably was a bit harsh on u as I'm just sick of reading about how bad he's doing when no one else is putting their hand up to do it.

Gee thats huge.
The Bulls to drop from top to 4th possibly.
Ango to win outright easily, Centrals to easily chase down South and GV with a fair bit of work to do.
Kapunda v Sandy looks interesting, Kapunda slight favourites but maybe the Cockies can send their skipper into retirement with a victory.
Might still come down to some second innings points

There are some very interesting moves afoot this weekend with the top three spots all looking pretty interesting. The ladder as it stands at the moment:

GV - 138.27
GC - 137.67
Ango - 130.66
Kapunda - 129.42

Now GV arent in a strong position now but I wouldnt write them off. If they lose they will likely finish 4th but if they pick up a win they will have at least 13 points and you would think at least 45-50 overs to bat.

GV worst finish (Nuri bat the day out 2 down + 1.4 points) = 139.67, GV Best finish (roll Nuri, face 45 overs and are 280 odd at stumps + 17.8 points) = 156.07

GC were looking down the barrel but we are a good chance to make 180 on the dog track with 10 wickets in hand. An outright looks out of the question so it comes down to how many runs we make.

Worst finish (rolled for less than south, South bat the day out none down + 2.89 points) = 140.56. GC Best finish (Bat all day and finish on 350 + 15.5 points) = 153.17

Ango are likely to be the big movers if they grab the outright against Tanunda.

Ango Best Finish (Grab the outright + 26 points) = 156.66 Points. Ango worst finish (choke with the bat, tanunda bat the day out + 1.6 points) = 132.32 points

Kapunda could cause some issues if there are upsets in the other games.

Best Kapunda finish (roll Sandy cheap, go the slog for 30 overs + 16 points) = 145.42, Kapunda worst finish (Sandy bat the day out 5 down + 1 point) = 130.42

Never let it be said that public servants waste time at work

I doubt it Borat, I would go Underthepack and Duke.

As always Extractor is on the ball. Now if you can explain the Duckworth/Lewis system in 15 words or less......

Think your numbers for GV best case are about 2 points too high, if they rolled Nuri and made 280 in second dig that's 5.85 performance points isn't it ( 1.05 + 2.0 + 2.8 ) .... so total points of 154.12 (138.27 after round 13)

I'd imagine Ango will have to do a fair bit to get an outright over the line given Tanunda managed to face nearly 50 overs last week.
Ango probably need to chew up 5 - 10 overs still to pass Tanunda, and chew up 3 overs for a changeover at some stage, so would have to bowl Tanunda out and make the same number of runs in about 62 - 67 overs.
Best bet may be to go hard straight from the start for 15 - 25 and hope that gives them enough to bowl to. If Ango could do it, they probably finish top, if not, money would be on GC.

In reality, with GV more likely to lose than win, their semi opponent rides on the Kapunda/Sandy game, so they could end up playing either GV or Kapunda regardless of whether they win outright or not.... I guess it comes down to trying to get the weather advantage should the GF be abandoned .

I guess it comes down to how much a minor premiership means to them.

Means heaps if there is rain or heat around. Would hate to lose a GF thanks to weather, finishing top is huge IMO

Yeah considered that after I submitted, so edited.

[Red Rocket]

Gee what a score by Centrals, would have been piss funny to see South in the field all day getting tonked.
Well done to the Tigers for finishing minor premiers.
Looks like the semis are Centrals v Kapunda and Gilbert Valley v Angaston.
Any idea of ground allocations yet?

[Jim05]

Centrals v Kapunda at Tanunda
Gilbert Valley v Angaston at Stocky
GF at Sandy this year

Fracka scored 1 ...........................then again thats one more than i did

[Stewie Griffin]

So I guess all Grand Finals are at Sandy now that the president plays there.....
Sandy had the one day final so surely you are taking the piss.
Stocky is the best ground for the final, Nuri would be second.
