not enough of that goes on in our comp. well done to wyc for batting on. espescially if ive been in the field for up to 75 overs in week one, and we pass a the score, its bloody well within the chasing teams right to do it. no training is as good as being out there on a saturday, and its why we play cricket... to score runs, take wickets and grab catches. cricket gets called off way too early sometimes these days. the beers will still be there at 6pm.

Would have thought district cricket would be the place for this ..... Yes agree there is no better practice than in the middle but not when the game is dead ! The opposition most likely would be pissed off and the sledging would start then the part time bowlers would come on. Thought those days were gone in this comp when teams do this.

Was curious to see WYC still had 30 odd overs to play against Plympton they didnt use up and even in yr case there were still a few. But WYC are deservedly top at the moment and looking the goods.

who cares if he wears his thigh pad on the outside some blokes dont even wear gloves these days each to there own. And as for the hat and sunnies I think the more he covers that head up the better for all of us ha ha ha just kidding mate

Thats the most sensible thing I've read on here today

yeah nah those days are alive and well. i think its good to play as much cricket as possible.. i personally cant stand those captains/umpires who call a game at the drop of a hat. if some blokes turn the game into a farce with poor behaviour because theyve lost then shame on them.

Played against South Rd in Section 5 at Clovelly Park Primary last game and we had a cracker game played in great spirits by both sides throughout the entire game. South Rd made 285 and we (Hamilton) were bowled out with 7 overs to go for 249. Size of the ground inflated the scores but it was a good, honest fair game of cricket.

Talking to a few of the Keswick boys it seemed like the Top of the Table clash in Section 5 was ruined by the Umpire giving 10 LBW's. The game was 100 runs difference so didn't change the result but was very frustrating.

Mate, when one of the senior players at Sheidow Park needs to apologise for the behaviour of his own team mates then i think you should probably let sleeping dogs lie regarding thigh pads and sunnies champ. Sounds like someone at Shiedow might think some of his own team mates are douche's...

Plus he comes off 2 steps, his hat and sunnies are hardly going to fly off his head...

ive always found it funny how bothered people get with him wearing his thigh pad on the outside...

I think it looks a bit ordinary, but its not going to ruin my day's cricket if i see it, as it appears to do for some... But, small things...

From what I've heard his hat and sunnies did come off more than once in his first over, and instead of giving them to the umpire he put the sunnies in his pocket and chucked his hat on the ground behind him... but like you someone said... each to their own. If he wants to look as unprofessional as possible then let him do it. As for a Sheidow Park senior player apologising for behaviour on the field i'd love to know what that was for... maybe it was when one of the PLYMPTON supporters yelled out and a plympton player assumed it came from the Sheidow boys and had a cry on the field... might have been the same player that had made some PERSONAL comments about a Sheidow players tattoos while he was batting. Not taking anything away from the Plympton boys on their win.... they won fair and square.

On the subject of batting on when a game is done and dusted, GOOD ON EM! God forbid some people actually WANT to play cricket on a Saturday afternoon... that's what you pay your subs for and it's why you train... get over it!

A Bit like Plymptonm, there aren't too many senior players in sheidow's team so it won't be hard to find out what the appology was for. Surely there's enough clues as to who it was!

Professionalism... We play hard wicket club cricket, sometimes we might need to remember that! While we all have white line fever and play it hard, a blokes hat, sunnies, or thigh pad is not a huge deal... It baffles me that it seems to get so many people so worked up. Kleenex Tissues should get Giersch a thank you card each year!

Giersch might be this, and might be that, but at the end of the day he's played more than 15 years of section one cricket, and pretty much won a Section One flag off his own bat and taken (somehow) about 200 section one wickets! Like what he does or not he's got the runs on the board. I know there are some people out there who are world beaters, but at the end of the day they've been around for 5 minutes...

Anyway, isn't there anything more exciting to talk about in the ASCA at the moment or should we move on to real issues, who wears their shirts un-tucked, or even more astounding, the who doesn't wear white shoes scandal that seems to be rocking ASCA at the moment...

well said mate...

We will always pass comment on an outside pants thigh pad wearer, not a good look, leaving the hat on the ground is fine, as long you're prepared to accept the 5 run penalty, no brainer really.
I look at it this way, if a passer-by stops in and watches for any period of time and likes what they see, you might land a recruit, if you play the game, you may aswell play it right.
We've scored a few good recruits just from looking semi-professional and making sure we conduct ourselves in a decent manner. I chatted to our B grade when I returned form my game on the weekend and expressed my disappointment about the lack of club hats being worn when I've sold 80 of them in the past year and a half and they only cost $10 (or 2 beers in cricket language).

I understand what your saying, but its one bloke that's been doing it from back in the day of buckle up pads! You read some of the shit on the forum about it and you'd swear everytime he does it he also strangles a kitten and spits on an old lady who's crossing the street!

If one bloke not wearing a thigh pad under his pants is going to cause that much distress to a potential player that he chooses not to play for us then we'll have to wear that I guess. Instead of pandering to potential new recruits sometimes its also nice to back your veterans that have played such a huge part of your club at A Grade level for 15 years and around the club in general for 20 years...

And if thats the case then I guess we've been lucky that his innings never really last that long over the past few years, so it'd be hard luck if the potential recruit happened to be passing in that 5 minute period!

Current Ladder

WYC- Currently 1.5 games clear of second and 2 games clear of 5th. Need to win 2 games to secure finals spot and 1 more win might get them there. Win 3 of the remaining 4 games and will finish top. To Play - Cove, ICC, South Road and Shiedow Pk. I think we will win 2 of them and if those two are Cove and ICC then i would think we might be a chance to finish top but we should be playing finals if we win 2. My prediction is top.

ICC - Half a game clear of Cove and Plympton in 5th,6th. 2 games will likely get them into the finals and 3 would make them near on certainties. win all 4 and top spot would be a very good chance of happening for the 3rd time in the last 5 years IIRC.
To play - Ramblers, WYC, Plympton and Keswick. I would expect them to beat the ramblers and beating WYC and Plympton would keep Plymtpon away as a threat and open up top spot for them. I think they will win 3 of their remaining 4 games. My prediction is 3rd.

Morphettville Pk - Same position as ICC just behind on quotient. To play - Plympton, Sheidow, Coro and Belair. They will almost guarantee themselves a finals spot with wins over Plympton and Coro. Win all 4 and top spot is a chance. I think they are a real chance to win all 4 remaining games. The coro game may decide who gets a home final or not. My prediction is 2nd.

Coro - Same position as Morphy's and ICC however their quotient isn't quite as good. To play - Keswick, Cove, Morphies and Glenelg. They have a tough draw home and with their quotient will need to win 3 to play finals i suspect. May get away with 2 if they have a big win and lose the others narrowly. My prediction is 5th on quotient.

Cove - Half a game behind 2nd, 3rd and 4th. To play - WYC, Coro, Keswick and South Road. Will need to win at least 3 of their remaining games to make finals i would think. Beating Coro would be a must for them to make the finals as they are one of the teams they can knock out of the finals. Really unsure what they will do and i am sure we will be facing a fired up Cove side who will want to get a win this round to set up a real chance at their first finals appearance in ASCA. My prediction is 6th.

Do some more later when i get a chance.

So you have said on here before ....... While his effort was terriffic, to say he virtually won the flag himself is a huge put down to the rest of the side when everyone contributed in either the semi to beat an undefeated South Road or the GF. Quite commendable the love you are showing him though

a real issue... How about when the umpire comes over to the scorers on a drinks break and says... 'There was a wide I called in this guys over that wasn't actually a wide... it hit the pitch but the bowler ran infront of me and I assumed it had landed off the pitch... so it's just a dot ball.'
Are you kidding me?

Yeah i get your point.

Was the correct decision made in the end though? I mean did the ball land on the pitch or off it?

I'm really not sure no one really said much about it until the week after. What if a wicket had been lost on the 7th ball? There hasn't been many games when an umpire hasn't made a wide decision that the fielding team didn't agree with... but as for coming over at drinks and cancelling the wide... that is a first

Yes I hadn't heard of it before...

[Booney]

Well that just shouldn't be done and I doubt it can be.

Can I guess who the umpire was?

[Minotaur]

Well that just shouldn't be done and I doubt it can be.

Can I guess who the umpire was?

Tony Fromene. Clarification was sought from Phil Davis regarding this scenario, and it turns out that an umpire does have the right to change a decision as soon as practicable if they feel the original decision was wrong or "unfair". This excludes the decision of a wicket which must be cancelled prior to the delivery of the next ball.

All in all, dont have a problem, but the fact that the bowler impeded his view in the first place makes me question how he knew it was a mistake later on? At the end of the day wide decisions can be dubious unless obviously off the pitch. Considering the popping crease is (as a general rule) 30-40cm wider than the concrete we play on the pitches are legitimately skinnier than a turf regulation. My thoughts with this would be that as long as it passes the batsman in line with the edges of the pitch then it should not be an issue. We had a spinner land one on the pitch and it ripped a bit more than normal. Because of the extra spin the umpire thought it hit the edge and called it a wide. No amount of pleading changed that decision.

My biggest problem is LBW's on hard wicket. Many a batsman will bat out of their crease. If they are getting hit on the knee roll then there is no way it can be hitting the stumps (unless its a full toss). Yet time and time again these are given out. I know there are teams that will appeal anything and everything and force the umpire to make the decision. I know this is within the rules of the game, but fair dinkum some are ridiculous.
