I say get on board anything that makes it more interesting for the players is a winner

Also with the outside the circle bit the bloke who gets paid doesn't have to monitor it as it would be up to square leg - and I am sure that the square legs will be all over it

At the end of the day i would think majority would rule and why would the umpires even be consulted, they should be doing as they are told

You have obviously never been to a PDCA delegates meeting , the umpiring fraternity will have a fair bit to do with the final outcome.

RE: Fielding restrictions
The umpires need to see it as their job and what they get told by the employer being the PDCA they have to do.
Umpires are on $90 per day tax free (I think) so that's around $18 per hour. Not bad for cash money.
88 players that pay their money each week to pay the umpires should be the ones that make the final decision I think.

I can only see pro's out of this and no con's. If people can’t mark out the ground how hard is it for a club to buy 30m of bailer twine to mark it out.
Start at middle stump one end, mark out square leg, walk around to point. Do this each end then join each end with a line.
Some of my truck drivers would be capable of this.

Yes, Frank was very conservative, he had to be, he done 95% of the work. Credit to the executive committee's that have been in place since, they had big shoes to fill and have revolutionised many aspects of the PDCA. They have a great mixture of members from different clubs and different areas of expertise.
I have nothing but praise for their efforts over the past few years.

pfft honestly how hard is it to be an Executive Member

I just looked on my cricket to find that it was Brenton Jenner that made the 100 last game, i thought it was Daniel because from what i remember Brenton held his spot by being the only one who could keep? Has he improved his batting?

Brenton has always held his spot in the A grade at R&C. Either with Keeping or as a batter. Go on my cricket and see the runs he has hit in grade 1 then inform us on what he has done. Leading run getter at the club. A grade captain for a few years with premierships to go with.
So how does your stats match up buddy and how many premierships have you captained/coached.
Will be interesting to hear.

[Browny25]

All I can say is get your delegate to mount a strong case for the change, I can only see it as a positive. I tried for about 3 seasons to get bonus points introduced to encourage teams to bat 2nd when they play against minnows. Pretty dis-heartening for teams to be chasing 350 in a one-dayer then get all out for 40. You can now get the same points for a similar result and be finished by 3pm.

I like the sounds of that LM!

Well it's up and running now, just gotta take the squeeky wheel approach sometimes.

Love the avatar, do you & Groover sit down together and watch "the hangover" over and over again?

Difference between me and Groover is that I've actually been to Vegas.... twice

Will be interesting to “hear“ or to read?
Well from the times i have played against Brenton i would have to say he is a better keeper than batsmen, although the statistics you have provided show otherwise.
Its not all about who has better statistics as yours are probally better than mine, doesnt mean my knowledge of the game is less than yours or Brentons.

[Merki the God]

Fineleg has been quiet. I wonder how he went at training last Thursday?

My knowledge of the game is a long way off from BJ. Smartest captain I have ever play under. To win grade 3, 2 then have a wash out in grade 1 all in a row he must have been doing something right. So how many premierships have you capt Gunnerson.

So by your thinking, your only a good player if you've captained a premiership.

[Lightning McQueen]

Ease up minnow, I don't think Gunner's taking a swipe at BJ at all, I must say his batting record surprised me somewhat aswell. BJ's obviously a bit of a quiet achiever to those who play against him but a big influence for those who play alongside him. The words "quiet achiever" probably aren't that accurate either from the times I've seen him behind the stumps .
A record of being an 3 time premiership A Grade captain speaks for itself on his cricketing knowledge and input.
I thought you were being a little hasty after your initial response to Gunners post, it appears as though you have read it differently to how I did, I can understand you sticking up for a legend of your club but I don't really think Gunner was bagging him.
Like I said, I didn't realize his batting record was as good as it is.

[Lightning McQueen]

Hey PG, is that your work with the mycricket data going back to 03/04?

[Gunnerson]

SS... What does premierships have to do with it? If he performed in these premierships then your point is valid?

I have played in 5 premierships and not done a thing, does that make me a gun?

It makes you a Gunner's son though.
