He went alright...he got me dragged

being a left hander is about all I did to get you dragged, great line to a righty though no wonder your hammy was sore, after bowling so many 8 ball overs

did end up with one of the most interesting fields Ive ever batted with though... 3 guys at midwicket i think it was

So... nothing has changed catchit??? You still can't bowl to left handers or to your field!!!! Or did you get confused to who you were bowling to...???

Oh and the duckman can catch

Oh no... that sitting at cover!!!

[SmithyOTH]

Oh and the duckman can catch

just quietly... ... ... .. ....

How good was that catch

Just quietly it was a ripper...i was at square and soon as duane smashed it i thought 6 bits easily...cracking shot and the catch was even better...how far off the line did you end up?

he was about 3m inside mate. my money was definitely on the ball. reeled in a ripper

Hey, what's the rule on getting a clearance mid season? I know if you have played a game in the first four rounds you can't but what if you have been slack and haven't? Any one out there know?

Yeah mate, if you haven't played a game so far this season there should be no reason for a clearance refusal. Inter-association clearances can be done at any time during the season I believe.

Yeah Cree i like

Brown has zero chance

as gunnerson pointed out... 114 runs and 9 wickets... zero chance...

you might be a chance tho.

That saved me getting a post deleted, what do you put your start to the season down to? Just bad form or the transition to hard wicket? I would of thought every batsmen likes the ball coming on, or is it the extra bounce?

[Gunnerson]

Browny! I will only give myself up by telling you that, then the fun would be over for me.

Would it be that obvious huh!? You also suggesting that i'd actually know who you are the begin with!

Yes you know me,only from playing against me though. We have had the odd beer after a game. I am sure that doesnt narrow it down.

Footwork required for the length of the delivery is different on hard wicket.

Far more front foot stuff going on on turf, where as the same delivery on hard wicket can be played off the back foot.

With the brain trained to react quickly to what length is bowled, retraining it for the different surface can take some time.

IE. This is my excuse.

Fair enough, I was actually a half decent batsman on turf, only used to bat in the bottom 3 but would've averaged at least 30, top score of 78 not out batting at 11. Had to face the 2nd new ball a few times aswell.

All the stuff that Oz said there is for a batsmen... for me, this season i'm just not hitting it as well. I only have got myself out this season... tried to swipe a wider one from Stama on the weekend... caught skying it a couple of times. No one really to blame but myself.

As for the wickets... I should have more... just need to hold our catches or watch one of the MANY top edges or nicks go to a fielder.

Definitely easier to go from hard-wicket to turf instead of the other way 'round. When I first started playing in C&CCA (SACCA back then), my first 4 scores were 0, 1, 5 & 4 - and the last game prior to commencing in C&CCA was in the B's at Port.. Got dropped to the B's of my C&CCA club after those 4 matches and I'd fair dinkum thought I'd lost my ability! Got a 70 in the Div 1 semi (gozzer in the GF) and turned the corner. Racked up 600+ the 2nd season with 3 tons.

But it was a matter of reviewing what shots I could play on hard wicket vs what I was used to on turf. Driving on the up or off the back foot was ruled out. Cut shots I also removed from my shot selection until I was well set. Drives to full balls and pull & hook shots to shorter deliveries became my main scoring shots.

Enjoy it now, coz when Oz' refamiliarises himself with the concrete stuff, there'll be some shattered bowlers trotting around in PDCA with some pretty ordinary figures..

The only story i would buy is OKC, well done for being honest. Wizard you are not going to go out and dominate every year and sometimes it will come down to the old, i am just not hitting them well ATM, i have seen you get out a couple of times and i am pretty sure it wouldnt matter if you were playing beach cricket, the same result would of been out. There would only be one bowler in this comp that wouldnt give you time to ajust your feet, otherwise any half decent batter could ajust and play prodomantly on the front foot to even pull on the front foot, blaming concrete is a easy out.

This is the longest we have gone without arguing. Good stuff

So cow corner was obviously a strength of yours back in 64 ?

[Wizard of Oz]

Oh, and who said anything about dominating ?

Like the voices in your head, it appears you make things up when you read also.

Sorry for not agreeing with you,even more sorry i didnt give you a post where you could rave about your stats abit more. Well done on your semi 70 mate, that had alot to do with what i was talking about

Only if you have a good eye, unfortunetly i lacked that in my time.

But with the bowlers not being quick, surely a good eye is not required. Particularly if you can adjust your shot selection mid delivery ?

[Gunnerson]

I was giving you a compliment Wizard, you dominate more often than not and now you are just like any other average batter in PDCA you are blaming the concrete, your first game you made 70 odd then struggled so i am not sure about the concrete being to blame, you are a quality cricketer but sometimes the wrong shot selection is to blame, Ricky Ponting is a pretty good example?

[Gunnerson]

Please explain how you would ajust your foot work when going cow corner?
