Para Districts Cricket Association 2010-11

[Lightning McQueen]

While in good record keeping, when i was playing for Enfield in the churches, they had a year publication called the bat and ball which is one of the best i have seen.

It holds all club records inc partnerships, highest scores (individual & team), progressive player stats, all time records for aggregates, bowling etc etc, 100s hit, you name it, its a good read!

Our stats are kept on my work computer . I counted all of the usual stuff plus wicket partnerships, the amount of 3 fa's, 5 fa's & 7 fa's.
It was enjoyable once I got the ball rolling.

Yeah, I did have 25's, 50's & 100's too but one column had to go to fit it in the page.

[Phantom Gossiper]

Does anyone know how torrens valley cricket assoc would match up against PDCA? what would be the comparison?

[Honda07]

Thats some impressive statistics there Honda, i am also sure your bowling would be just as good? do you feel you will play better cricket without the worry of being captain?

how much better can he get? Unless the bowling stats show up

hint of jealousy there catchit?

How can you not be? very hard to compete with those stats

I reckon yours would be better

[Honda07]

LM, on mycricket, do you know if it is possible to upload stats from previous seasons for individuals? Or does it have to be done as match results?

We paid $800 to putall our score books in back until 1964. I thought it wouldnt take too long but after getting thru about 10 seasons realised it was gonna take a while. Havent got back to it for about 6 months. We will get their eventually. Brett Proctor had done an awesome job of our stat taking having partnerships etc and avg's per batting position but when I took over havent kept as much detail hence why we went to my cricket 7 years ago.

Haha no chance honda... A couple of lucky years doesnt add up to your stats..

$800? Who took a pay cut

You dont see Ozlins having a career in A Grade District either, its not what he wants to do. I Guarentee you that if he did want to further himself in cricket, he wouldn't be playing Para Districts. No one from OTH wants him to fail.

speak for yourself there OKC. i aint sayin i want him to fail but there could be players at the club who feel let down by matt rogers decision to leave the club n wudnt mind seein a couple of 0s next to his name.

the thing with matt rogers is simple. he isnt a club man, he plays for cricket himself. which is fine if thats how ya wanna play. some people make their careers on helping their club others make their careers on chasin personal goals. matt obviously thought he would be better off at OTH, then once he got there decided against it. perhaps a classic case of the grass is greener on the other side. but i reckon had he been sat on 200 runs and 10 wickets under his belt the situation could have been different. but like i said...matt rogers plays for matt rogers. he obviously has goals for the season and didnt think he was going to achieve them at OTH.

I personally am a little disappointed by it all. but like you said OKC at the start of the season he wasnt playin for us, it was a last minute job, and we all felt at the club that we could seriously push towards a flag... gaining matt was a bonus... so i guess now we go back to the same position we were at the start of the season. we will be there come finals time

Thats a very strong point of view there mate, and one i take my hat off to, Matt Rogers needs to toughen up a bit and realize you cant just come in and dominate, i dont care who you are, if you start a season you finish it, show some character and dig deep for your team mates, not yourself.

i think its funny how people get on here and just judge people with out having a clue what they are talking about. Fineleg, how can you come on here and throw out a massive assumption like that without having a single clue about why he is going back to TTG? your just guessing and taking a stab in the dark. Did Rogers go and speak to you and tell you that this is why he is going back to TTG? if not, then why start more rumours?

[Gunnerson]

You must admitt Smithy that from a outsiders point of view the whole thing stinks of a selfish cricketer? The point fineleg is making is a valid one, he obviously isnt close to Matt and is seeing it as it is, who cares why he is going back? The point is he is going back and is leaving a team of mates, like someone said, would he be leaving if he was on 200 runs and 16 wickets?

Disharmony at the Billygoats?

Where is that sinking ship that Browny posted? I think I saw a Billygoats emblem on the side.

Your right i should have clarified myself... his friends dont want to see him fail.

You try and come from a district background where they have 3 hours of solid training every week, to have people drinking piss in between balls to you at training and then you try and decide whats better for your future cricket. If he had 200 runs he would have been going back regardless.

You have no idea why he came out to OTH in the first place, let alone his reasons for going back. You say that he is playing for himself, that may be the case, but it is with good reason. To come on the forum and just talk crap about him doesn't serve anyone any good. Plus I thought you would have been smart enough shut up and stop spreading rumors after you nearly got kicked out your own club for running your mouth last year.

Matt played all last year at TTG and started this year at TTG. He is a TTG player, so how can he be letting anyone down at OTH. Surely everone at OTH would support their team mate's endeavour to be successful at a higher level. The point is that he should never have left TTG and gone to OTH in the first place. Everyone makes mistakes.

Sums it up perfectly.

I'm an outsider and it doesn't stink as far as I'm concerned.
-Out at a district club where they show interest in him and build his hopes up.
-Hopes get crushed when the teams are selected and thinks all this hard work for practically nothing.
-Goes out to a less pressure club to find himself and enjoy his cricket.
-Has time to think about things and weigh up whats best for him and his cricket.
-TTG probably got in touch with him and told him their expectations and explained a few things.
-Satisfied with the efforts that TTG have made and realized there is still hope at district level and returns.

I wonder if TTG even explained to him why he is playing B's at the start of the season, I think there was a communication breakdown and he became disillusioned about the bigger picture.

The Billigoats are there for him as a back up plan if things don't turn out accordingly, good on him for having another crack at district level.
Sometimes you have to do whats best for you, it's not as though he's going sideways.

[Merki the God]

I wonder how fineleg will go at training tomorrow night?

does this mean its time to get stuck in to jye bailey as well??

i can see that it doesnt look the greatest from the out side, but who really cares what it looks like, it doesnt mean anything. No one wants to see matt fail and all his mates at OTH support his decision. your making it sound like he is having a dogg of a year and leaving because of his performance. he has only had 3 innings and taken 10 or 11 wickets. Not that bad of a start.

He has been constantly pressured by the TTG coach, the A grade captain and many players daily to go back out to TTG and made him realise that if he wanted to give district cricket a real crack and see how far he can go with it, he needed to do it now rather than waste his time in para districts.

not much more to it than that.
