wot a frustrating day in the field for smithfield. had pg 7 for 80 at tea, really should of been 8 for 60 or even far better than that for smithfield but some mind boggling decisions eg clear catches at cover not given, merlin was in fine form. then after tea marsden swung hard ended up on 77 with an 8th wicket partnership of 87 tacking full advantage of tiring bowlers in the heat late in the day. then for the batsman to admit on walking of the groung that we had him out 4 times, twice clearly b4 he was on doulble figures, 1 of which was 1st ball, 2nd caught at cover on about 8 was very annoying. gardens should all purchase a lotto ticket cos they will never have things go their way that much ever again in a match of cricket. funny thing being we actually bowled very well and by some miracle they ended up on 186. to many other incidents to even bother mentioning as i can feel my blood pressure rising as i type we should be in a position to get an easy win and some big points putting us in a good position coming into the 1 dayers but instead we need to bat very well just to claim 1st innings. all i can say is i hope merlin will be consistant.

Good luck with that, consistent and umpire do not go together. The umpires are getting worse, the last couple we have had have been ordinary.

we will take any bonus off merlin, we had lynchy warming up bowling to mid off before first over last year he was reported for time wasting gotta take the good and bad with the peanut. i did hear about the catch and was gone for all money take the good with the bad got to see the young fellas last 40 odd can hit a ball. wats the go with top dressing the ground and the 4 inch high grass youd love a trim to it during the week saw some laced shots lucky to get 2

Yeah we will go alright i reckon if it makes it to the last over you will win but i just cant see that happening..
I dont doubt the pap is a decent bloke...i just hope he doesnt go all shy next year when he has the ball in his hand

Def not a game you want to drop, could be the diff between finishing 4th or 5th..

How come honda didnt bowl at the end? I thought there was a couple of times he needed to bowl...
This is a little dig but a serious question at the same time...i dont understand the whole play soccer before a game thing, i get the warming up thing but why not do it with a cricket ball? there are plenty of warm up games, good hands and a good eye is what cricket is about not sure soccer covers any of that..

I wouldnt go as far as to say great but everyone has whiteline fever and want to win just as much as the next bloke. You yourself are not too bad Source just too bad the umpire we have is deaf and blind (A few clear decision not given out much like Smithfields match by the sounds). Your probably not a bad bloke yourself Catchit i have no hard feelings and be looking forward to a beer after the game hopefully. On a side note im never shy so it will be good if we can play against each other.

Totally agree catchit although i dont get the whole warm up thing at all. I watch my team mates play soccer every week, just waiting for someone to do an ankle

Central United batted there 70 overs out to be 9 for 218

A last wicket stand of 93 didnt help our cause but we got what we deserved when you drop as many catches as we did.

218 is very gettable on the small EP oval but we will have to bat extremley well to chase down this total.

Once again Rory Andrews bowled brilliantly to take 2 for 15 of around 16 overs and Daniel Jeffries 4 for 21, both these lads will be out training with the Under 21 squad today.

When is this training on, I dont see anything on PDCA website. We have a couple of young lads that should be given the opportunity to play.
Who is coaching the U21s?

Sorry about the late reply, training was at Salisbury West today at 10:30 good turnout mixture of seniors and under 21's. Groover copped one in the body today that kicked of the edge of the matting.

Next training is at Argana Park on the turf.

The senior and under 21 PDCA coach is Super for both of them.

Only possible thing soccer may cover is footwork BUT im guessing none of these blokes are Christiano Ronaldo on the ball so probably wont help.

The oval got mowed Wednesday believe it or not. Yeah, the young fella made the most of his luck, batted very sensibly after a few lives. Worst paid umpiring display I've seen, very disappointing, ball was 15 cm's off the ground.

That's what I'd be worried about too. Our warm-up is getting to the ground before 1pm, it's wearing a bit thin the lack of urgency, things will be turning around pretty quickly.

[Lightning McQueen]

LM can I enter with some cybe bucks too.

if I can I will $20 on Westies win, into Oz (head to Head) into Davies most wickets.

pretty safe bet as OTH have a few missing this round by what I heard.

Yeah mate, 111 return.

Not a bad standard of cricket to mold yourself on I would've thought?

[catchit]

All good here papas and yep looking forward to it...

I personly am not a warm up person(maybe a bit of slip catching)... you can bust a finger doing slip catching as well but i would rather see my team mate do a injury from a game that is going to help you on the field
