Adelaide Turf Cricket Association 2011-12

He's not a fan of anything short.... so if your still to play him this year try and bounce him out......

Ingle Farm boys tried that in the Semi last year and realised when he put another one on to the road and he was about 190 that he could actually pull a bit...

The walkerville opener gave him 1 short 2nd ball after the first ball of the match was clipped off the pads for 4. The chest high 2nd ball hit the fence before a fielder had a chance to turn and chase....

[azzaisbest]

Right, some people just piss me off. Where does a club get off trying to say that a certain player that has played for them in the past owes fees, when infact , the said player was playing there under a "gentlemans agreement" for nothing. Very amateur behaviour from this club and hope that this comes back and bites them in the arse. You would want to make sure that the person spinning this bullshit can keep his lies going , wouldnt want to trip over when the truth lands on your doorstep!!!!!

That is how I got him a few weeks ago, however disagree he is not a fan of the short ball. Has to be a decent bouncer coz if you are off like he has shown many occasions in the past and short of a length without any oomph he is very good at picking the length of the delivery early and has a very decent pullshot.

Rainbow Warrior did just that the other week and got the big scalp of Duff...

Too quick for me Wizard. Hope you are going well. Hope to catch up soon.

[OKC!]

Hope OKC performs better tomorrow in cricket than his footy effort tonight, reckon he missed one from 2 metres out...

I was on the angle.

OKC, would you please remove Gepps Cross from your Avatar!!

Why, it represents the local footy club you support.

& I will still be playing football for them! That is if i am allowed back into the club!

Another day in the pub by the looks !!!

Where did Duffet play before Woodville South?

That bloke makes runs for fun!

Plays for woodville rechabite not south...

Played juniors and seniors at Port with winters spent in England, until defecting to prospect.

Coached rechabite to A1 flag maybe 5 years ago before heading to England to live. 2nd season back.

And I stand to be corrected but was in the Cricket Academy here around the same time as Langer and co?

He didnt go to the cricket academy, but play A grade at 15 or something and that was the same season they had Langer at the club. Played some underage state cricket, and made a heap of runs for SA U17.

Agreed his doesnt like the short stuff, as long as you have some pace.

rain has ceased, A matter of A) Calling it off today B) Calling it off tomorrow or C) having sides turn up to determine there own fate, I actually believe if there is no more rain it will be option C this week for some reason, dont ask me why. But noticed the forecast has a few early showers for tomorrow

Has been fairly persistant since early hours this morning in the Northeastern suburbs..
Very little chance I reckon..

[Bluedemon]

being day 1 of the round you would tend to think it would be called off.

Our LOA game at Rostrevor has already been canned. Good luck to the rest of you, hope you get on, but it doesn't look good.

[frontfoot]

I don't think there will be any play tomorrow in Adelaide Turf.

Are Grange still spending big money on Brad Young and co to keep them around the mark in A1?

Probably about the same as Brighton spend on Ifould, Rechies spend on Duffett/Southam, Payneham spend on Harrington, Pulteney spend on Ashmeade etc etc etc
What is your point FF??

think he wanted to throw out the rumor that Grange pay Young to play every one gets paid these days, Amateur sport is a buidness, thats right wrote it the way its to be said.

No one at AHOS gets piad anymore mate. As club treasurer of 6 years no one has been paid in my time as treasurer. There were incentives etc early on 12 or so years ago but that has been cut out now. Sad that it has got to that. I take pride that I play for a team that plays for each other and for the reasons rather than for financial incentives.

Shane Martin (goodwood) was in the academy with Langer, Ponting, McGrath I think.

[Cougar]

I agree that Shane Martin might have been at the academy as the same time as Langer and co, but Duffett is in a different age bracket. Duff would be about 34, whereas Langer would be 40. However both were at PADCC when Langer was based at the academy and again I don't think they played A's together. Langer was gone by the time Duffett made it to 'A' grade.

I know of at least 1 club in A1 that doesn't pay any players.
