So when and why did the Western Suns become the Western Grit?

Ive also heard a senior player from one zone will captain another zones side

You get sent an application form FS?

Sure did, but the Eastern Edge coach told me to get nicked maybe next year

FS, don't just leave it at that, information please, Western Grit came about cause Western Suns was already a registered trade mark. Also FS if that back was any good, Eastern Rangers need some net bowlers I think.

I can't believe Western Grit is not already taken!

I certainly hope you are kidding, not only have I missed the deadline, but I cannot think of how amateurish this actually looks / presents to anyone looking in. I will still await the phone call from the coaching staff.

No, that is exactly what has happened.

I think FS might have to get a clearance to another Premier League club. Surely someone is looking for a middle aged cricketer, that wears flourescant yellow on a Saturday during the winter, bowls slow medium pace and bats anywhere between 1 and 11, a true allrounder.

H31 you up with the current news, James Smith and Sir Frank to Kensi, Delaney and Solway from Prospect to the ACT. Any more you know of.

According to the accompanying cover letter with the Expression of Interest form, squad members should have been notified of their selection by today. Any early whispers?

Have spoken with someone involved in selecting the sides and no side has been confirmed.

Leave RT alone "Star". Don't know what all the hype is around the selection of the squads, probably more about who has decided not to nominate rather than who has, after all, my info is squads will be around 24, so 96 SACA players in the 4 squads, gee you would be unlucky if you missed out, there are only 143 players playing grade cricket every week. Hey that might even be around the number they want playing A Grade cricket every week, 110 ??????????

The you have the NT nymphs, which I can almost guarantee will be supplemented by local players and the PNG pirates who I believe will also have some SA imports.

It is looking more like SACA should have listened in January 2011 when the Grade Clubs said they would look at restructure, probably be completed by now.

Shame, Shame, Shame.

BF, just wondering what official proposal the SACA grade committee put forward? apart from making noises on the number of days their players would be available for them outside of PL.

TH, my info is that nothing has been put forward by the Grade Clubs, various submissions by various clubs, but the general move seems to be inevitable that unless the number of grade clubs is reduced, Premier League stays where it is. If rumors are to be believed, the Grade Cricket committee is doing a review, but more importantly SACA is doing a review, headed by Shane Berhardt, involving Bob Zadow, Nathan Adcock, Martin Faull. The SACA review is the significant one, as it will come back with recommendations involving the future of Grade Cricket, change structures, reduce teams, review junior set up, etc. etc. I am quite confident that the major recommendation will be a reduction in grade clubs, then the hard part will come. How that is achieved. That is why, if SACA had listened in Jan 2011, the implementation would be upon us. My info is the Grade Cricket internal is just lip service by Carver to the Board.

TH, sorry where I say nothing, it was basic opposition to the PL based on numerous grounds, mainly in that it would be in opposition to Grade Cricket. SACA have come back with very little if any played on same days, but the pudding will be in the eating, ie when the programs are released.
