Adelaide and Suburban Cricket Association 2010/11

[CoverKing]

after being 0/42 WYC were bowled out for 111 against the Sharks. Not the best batting display, but Bucky bowled extremely well and constantly hit that massive crack in the Sharks pitch that made it difficult to play. Matt King once again was top scorer with 30 at around run a ball. He is hitting the ball extremely clean at present, and is a bit of a wild card at present for us if we are to go any further in the competition.

We now play Cove in a winner takes all game, with the loser bundled out, and the winner nearly guaranteed finals action. Damn morphys losing outright Unless Glenelg lose to Westminster (have lost two in a row against them IIRC), than a loss this game will not get us in the finals. We can finish anywhere from 2nd to 6th i think.

Ramblers did a bit of us a favour i reckon on Sunday by smashing Cove in the t20. They looked like a bit of a rabble, with arguing amongst each other and their once strong batting line up is looking a bit more fragile all of a sudden. Massive weekend of cricket coming up for all sides.

Will this be Westminsters last game as a club? IMO i think so

After chatting with the wos blokes after the game on saturday, there pretty keen to stay around, perhaps as a one team club tho as they are struggling to field two sides. great bunch of blokes and it would be a shame to see them fold.

Interesting last round,

Cove v WYC, could go either way, going to lean towards WYC.

ANA v WOS, Ana could win this outright, but not sure on the turf, WOS batted well on it when we played them.

Keep a eye on Coromandel, they could beat Plympton outright and jump into the four.

Good luck to all teams still in with a chance.

Morphy's finishing the year off with a theme round and are going back to the 70's !!!!

[CoverKing]

Huge last round indeed.

Looking forward to seeing the scores on Saturday night

Haha wouldn't mind getting one of those if I don't have a pint in front of me

Just speaking to Tubby, if the 8 sided comp got up for next year, that adds some more spice into the last round.

Morphys v Sheidow, winner takes 8th spot (assuming south road lose to icc).

Or if Keswick lose to ramblers, morphys and south road both win, Keswick finish 9th. Will keswick be so strong in their opinion if they are a side to be relegated? I highly doubt it.

I personally am leaning towards an 8 team comp for next year as a trail at the very least. I was strongly against it, but as the year has progressed im more for it. It will means section 1 will be a lot stronger, with no easy games, with all sides being filled with 11 players (WOS have really struggled this year).

Wouldnt it be good to have your draw look something like, Cove, WYC, Ramblers, Coro, ICC, Keswick, Glenelg....Thats a bloody hard comp in my opinion, elimates the outrights to a certain degree, and makes it even more so, the best sides will make the finals.

For the 8 team comp to get up, i think it will take a couple of things.

1) keswick to finish top 8 otherwise they wont be so strong with their opinions.
2) keswick and the other clubs to actually approach the opposition clubs and discuss and explain what the new concept is about (this did not happen last year and was part of the reason WYC said no, simply because no-one approached us, nor was it explained well enough).
3)Association to be clear minded and strong minded as well, with what sides will be relegated, promoted, allowed into the comp and at what section.
4)and finally, provide all clubs with due time to actually give thought to the proposals

[caleb777]

So tips for this final round of games?

Morphettville Park v Sheidow Park Only just, Ben Cameron to have a big game though but not enuf to get them over the line

South Road v ICC Sharks Easily, sharks attack is too strong

Western Youth Centre v Cove Biggest game of the round. WYC is my tip, have plenty of blokes who know how to perform in big games. Matt Kings batting improvement over the past few rounds has been huge for them to take the load off hoppy.

Westminster Old Scholars v Glenelg ANA Glenelg ana easily, possibly even outright.

Coromandel v Plympton Footballers Lourens to take about 15 wickets.

Keswick v Coromandel Ramblers Were finally putting a full side on the park and our depth with the ball will wear down rusty and crew. Will be a tough game for us though

Keswick have emailed around their proposal for 8 team sections so there is no problem there. Everyone has the info.

I can't see teams in the bottom 4 of section 1 supporting this, who would want to go down?

I agree it makes for more competitive games each week, but we still have 7 sections so are more competitive than many other competitiions.

If clubs are having trouble filling teams why are we still voting on 7 two day games? If it only means 3 less 2 day games how does this solve their selection problem? It does mean we have to do 3 more selection nights during the season.

Id have thought there was a better chance of the one-day comp in the lower grades getting off the ground.

It doesn't need much more than 2 big clubs to block these proposals so anyone supporting it had better get the larger clubs on board. Gowser you have your chance to convince the Ramblers this week

AF, don't use the big club as a reason for it being blocked. I got shot down last year for saying that. If two of ramblers, sheidow, coro, NH or wyc say no, there is every chance it will not get through, especially if sheidow, NH or icc reject the proposal.

I agree with u on the selection is being used when their is only 3 less two day games, not the best of reasons

Just calling it as it is. Ramblers and WYC did it last year. If not for that it may have been a very different format this season.

Perhaps I'll instead say that you need to get the support of the larger clubs who bother to turn up tothe AGM with all their votes...

I agree with you. If one of Ramblers or WYC (who had their full set of votes their....even keswick didnt have the full numbers they were entitled too) voted the other way, the motion would have passed

And also to chrissy Allen for his 100th game this week.
Hopefully that can provide a bit more of motivation for us to get up...Carn the centres!

Good luck to all sides and good luck to plympton and more importantly WOS

[Gowser]

Or if Keswick lose to ramblers, morphys and south road both win, Keswick finish 9th. Will keswick be so strong in their opinion if they are a side to be relegated? I highly doubt it.

Ahahahaha, the irony.

Gowser you have your chance to convince the Ramblers this week

Wont be there mate, dropped to the B's due to youth policy.

Congratulations to Bloods, playing his 150th game this weekend. Great effort mate!

Well Done Bloods, have a good one and hope you guys get up.

[Tight_Lines]

Just a point from last Saturday if anyone can help.

Our off Spinner has hit a batsmen on the foot on the full we've appealled not out. The umpires said to the bowler it hit him in line but its missing off stump? I know there neutral umpires but why do some persist on giving reasons its not out just say. I know if I have an appeall given not out I dont even ask its not out thats the decision but still some try and give me a reason when im walking past without me saying a word.

Just a point I know there short but there not helping by putting themselves in the spotlight all the time.

[Tight_Lines]

Good Luck Bloods WYC will have to much depth for Cove and finish Second with a home final against Ramblers. Keswick still a very good side finish with a win. Luckily for the Top 4 they had such a slow start and no Heath most the year.

Lucky Singh was the big loss for us at the start of the season, think we won every game Heath didn't play.
