I think that can happen in any game, the blokes that went out there a natural hitters, it worked for sals west in the final and will of course suck the odd batsmen in, but sometimes thats not that hard to do...

I think there is a greater deal of thought and strategy required for T20 than most people give credit for, although im not an overly large fan of the form.

Good call days.. There should be 6 overs for the fielding side and 6 for the batting side, with the batting team choosing when they want it.. Bring that shit on this year..

[Phantom Gossiper]

I have found the restrictions of only 5 out late in the innings are even better than the early restrictions. there is always at least one spot u can pick to hit the boundary

Dont let Cricket Aust read this, heaven forbid a situation or law that aids the batsman

Def is, but I think its mostly the captain of the fielding side that has most presure on him, honestly the batsmen just need to pick the right ball otherwise look for a single if its a good ball, batting in T20 can be easy if the captain sets the wrong field and or the bowlers bowl in the wrong spots.

Well if you knew me you would no that I only play to win premierships, and celebrating with ya mates, we will def give it a crack but our prob is there is a few other teams that think the same, personly I wont settle for just making the 4, anything but a premiership and I will be shattered.... Go you rosies...

well let the runs flow and the good times roll!

B. Jenner - caught deep cover boundary during field restrictions - only bloke deep on off side
D. Morton - caught deep mid wicket during field restrictions - only one of two blokes (fine leg) on on side
Ma. Feltus - caught deep long on 1st over after restrictions with a long off and long on in place
J. McCarthy - Bowled middle and off looking to hit big over mid wicket with a long on, deep square and deep mid wicket in place

Yep id say your probably right there

all stupid shots and all would change the shot they played if they could, or was it just good field settings?

Ill say combination, i mean the batsman has a degree of an advantage before the ball is bowled to identify the field and placings etc so IMO to hit it straight down the throat of one is plain stupid!

i guess if you are trying to hit a six it doesnt matter how many people are on the boundry, if ya get all of it, its 6, if ya dont its out.

Does anyone here rate Smithfields chances of making finals

no.

[Lethal Dose]

whys that, its pretty early on in the season

i honestly think they will struggle to make the finals, to much for 2 blokes to do with some more expierenced teams about..
i think they will do more damage by upsetting sides every known again..

[Phantom Gossiper]

Nothing personal against Smithfield just think the strength of the big 4 -BL, R&C, SW and OTH are just a fraction above the rest

[Lethal Dose]

i guess we are inexperienced and have a number of young fellas playing. there are some really good sides in grade one with some really good players, but i think we could have a crack with the side we have, but experience may be the down fall when it matters most. at the end of the day it is all fun and im sure we'll give it our best right til the last game.

Although OTH look good on paper, they are struggling to post a decent total, last season they appeared under-manned and made some excellent totals and exceeded most people's expectations.
Each to their own though, I think Smithfield will win more one-dayers than they'll lose and I think they'll start posting some decent totals now that they've got Rosies and Westies out of the way in the longer version game.

You have to bowl more than 2 blokes in the 1 dayers thought

Merki is a bit quiet today? Thought there is plenty of ammo out there for the god? Maybe he is not that good at this after all
