Adelaide and Suburban Cricket Association 2011/12

What happens if the AFL grand final is a draw? Will the association still want teams to play on the 8th? Or will the season be put back a week? Would you play cricket while a grand final is played?
Opinions?

mate i wouldnt think twice about playing french cricket vs a glenside XI over a geelong collingwood GF replay

Yes it would suck if we had to play, but we wouldn't be able to do anything about it. No choice but to play! It would make it bloody hard numbers wise for some clubs though

All this fuss over the keswick secretaries email the other night has made me chuckle a bit.

They want to use a 4 piece ball in the games they play on turf, that is fine for them to want that but ultimately they will use a 2 piece ball if that is what the opposition wants to do.

They want to be able to move the game to another oval if their oval of choice, Westminster, is unfit for play.
Reality is you don't need to relocate the game and you can choose to play a one dayer the second week or share the points for a washed out game in a one dayer or day two of a 2dayer.

Keswick are well within their rights to ask for these things and the rest of the clubs are well within their rights to say thanks but no thanks, or however each individual club wants to do say essentially that.

Also referring to the comments about it is a disgrace that the association has allowed them to stay in this comp with a turf wicket, i suggest you educate yourself with the ASCA constitution as that quite clearly states that games can be played on Turf in our comp, so the executive can't override what the constitution says.

If clubs truly don't want clubs to be able to play on Turf then that is for the clubs to put forward as a motion at the AGM and then have a 2/3's majority vote in favour of it.

We'll see i guess.

Surprised no one cried about playing on turf last season... well, maybe not so much...

Also, the irony of those criticising Keswick for making the comp 'Mickey Mouse' now whinging about turf pitches and 4-piece ball, is not lost on me.

how can you possibly say its fair that one team in the comp plays with a different ball?? it may be legal within the constitution but that doesnt necessarily make it fair. and do feel one hundred percent free to correct me if im wrong but have people whinged about playing on turf in the past?

[Gowser]

Surely you are not serious? It's a cricket ball, made from the same materials as every other ball. How can you have the audacity to suggest Keswick might have an advantage when your club plays on a rubber pitch?

more than one club in the association plays on that type of pitch, not just us... so get used to it. a pitch is not something we have control over, the council does. using a different ball to the rest of the comp however is something you can help. good luck with that though.

Keswick and have been playing their own rules for years with those balls. Time for the comp to stand up to it.

[Booney]

Is anyone looking to have netting around the pitches with -5 runs for loss of a wicket?

Quite seriously the constitution needs to be changed so this mess is avoided.

Weekend trial match:

Coromandel 6/124 - Koirala 60, Ambler 28*, Richards 14

def

Belair 8/109 - Lourens & Daly 2, Norman, Hosking, Bruce & Koirala 1

(couldnt remember belairs stats but their no. 3 Porters made 40 odd)

how did the other trial matches go?

[wycbloods]

WYC 8?/215

King 30 Wright 20 and Christie 116.

Not sure on wicket takers for Sheidow Pk

Sheidow Pk about 9/165

Visser 1 wicket Wright 2 or 3 wickets Mcdowall 2 Wickets

That is a rough summary of the game.

[storyoftheyear]

nice ton for christie hey?

[CoverKing]

Reckon Sheidow only made 130 odd bloods and we were 8 down.

Christie batted really well, now to see him do it this week against a strong Glenelg side.

Heard a rumor Verral has left ICC as well. Anyone know if that is true?

Sheidow 10/173. Cooke 40, Edwards 30

Wickets were shaired with the Sheidow bowlers.

Shit. Didnt realize cookie made 40.

He came up with some classic Cooke calls whilst batting! Had me in stitches!

Certainly would hurt ICC, if this is true with Sampson gone as well.

Would rate them a big big chance to finish bottom 3 or 4 if they have lost them both

lets get this thing ramping up a bit fellas!!!

only 13 days or something to go until the season starts... i know at Coro this year things are shaping up huge as it is our 150th anniversary celebrations...

what clubs have picked up new players?

what club is gonna over/underachieve this year?

what player is gonna over/underachieve?

who is going to take the most wickets/score the most runs?

shoot!

We have picked up some handy depth players. Visser and patto from Westminster. Plus a couple ex-juniors/b graders that are coming back.

Over acheive/underachieve - Icc will struggle im hoping. South Road to make a big case for the 4.

Most wickets - Lourens by the length of the straight
Most Runs - Matt King after opening for the entire year.

Players that will underachieve: Brucey with figures competing with last years
Overachieve (well just a big year): Koirala to hit 500+, Jaspreet Singh to take 35+ wickets, and Brad Christie to continue his trial form throughout the year
