Surely Sayers has it in the bag, surely home now he has hit the front!?

About bloody time

Hopefully he can become a regular fixture in the redbacks side.

Thoroughly well deserved. Congratulations to one mighty cricketer.
I know that when our boys are due to meet the Peckers the name Sayers represents a worry for all of our supporters because of what the man is capable of.

[Bulls forever]

Great result in the Bradman, Sayers a quality choice and the runners up also thoroughly deserved their finish. Good on Matty Weaver from the Bulls finishing around 5th, had a good season, but the best is yet to come.

Good result for the Bulls with Deisel winning the Charlie Walker and well done to Simon Roberts from Southerns winning the Talbot, Simon is IMO clearly the best fielder in the comp, he has struggled with the bat this year, but quality lad, good leggie and outstanding fielder. Was very impressed with his presentation and the way he presented his team when they visited Bull Park this year.

Now hear is a question for you grade cricket followers. With the grade team of the year, it is my belief and always has been that the Charlie Walker is the WK B&F award for the year. Why then is the winner of this award not the WK in the Grade Team of the Year. For the last three years at least we have seen the keeper who made the most runs make the Grade Team of Year, ie Cachopa, Davey and Connelly. Now these three have finished very high in Charlie award the year they made the team. The team is purely statistical based and congratulations to those that made it, without an exception they all deserved it with fine years, but I want the Charlie winner to be in the team, not the WK that made the most runs. Thoughts please - give me both barrels if you wish.

Sounds sensible to me BF, surely the Charlie winner has to get the wicky berth. To select otherwise clearly makes a mockery of the Charlie voting.

Makes a lot of sense other than this is still an umpires vote that awards it and not a selection panel. The best wicketkeeper is still chosen by the umpires as the winner of the Charlie Walker. As we have seen in the past, umpires in any sport are not always the best to judge. Fair point though and not against it, other than do you then pick the team of the year based on umpires votes as well? At what point does the selection panel take over and the umpires votes not be an influence?

[Stumps]

Charlie walker in particular needs changing and has done for years. When a team gets washed out while fielding that teams keeper gets no votes while every other teams that play or fielded the week prior pick up votes. Likewise when a team has the bye and other teams get washed out you can effectively catch up votes. It doesn't equal out and the easy answer is to do average votes per game for keepers playing over say 5 games. Not as big a deal for fielders or bradman medal as not every player gets voted on each game unlike keepers.

An excellent point actually. Never thought of it. An average over the games is a very good way to do it. You are right, as sometimes a wicketkeeper might not be in action for a month through rain and fielding last, although this summer is clearly the wettest I can remember and unlikely to happen again. Whilst like the Brownlow medal and Magarey medals, I think we place too much emphasis on the voting of the umpires. I know we need them to have a game (as per all sports). Cricket unlike Football, is influenced by rain and conditions and voting is often not entirely accurate, when basing it on the rest of the games in the competition, when some clubs play and others are washed out. These ideas are making too much sense and make for good discussion and that means that the SACA would never consider them however. (If if makes too much sense at the SACA, then disregard the idea or debate and do something 180 degrees from conventional or reasonable discussion)

B Grade

Sturt won the toss and batted. First 6 overs they looked like they would make 250 and then proceeded to get out to a bunch of dibbly dobbers and a spinner. (The skipper, was the big loss and somehow managed to get out to the spinner's worst ball of the day and on that why is the spinner in Southern's B grade?). Keeper showed a bit of fight with the bat and reminded me I have a lot of leaves in my driveway that need dealing with. Sturt all out 84.

Southern 1/84 at stumps and no reason to venture down the Expressway for the second day

So what you are saying is that it doesn't require much to get your batsmen out ?

Poor effort by the Blues yesterday considering what is on the end of the match. I'll think that even they would admit to that.
