[Lucky For Some]

No doubt young fella

[bagster]

Also Richo, is Andy eligible seeing as he hasnt played a game this season?? And Pogas getting wickets?? Must have been a long day

I'd assumed all registered players were eligible. Pogas can bowl well when he puts the effort in. Handy with the new ball.

Have to have played a game for the club in the current season.

Rosies got up in a good game by a few runs against Westies. Westies got to needing 20 off 4 overs with wickets in hand but lost 4/0. Last pair got us close but not over the line. Probably should have been the final for the PDCA slot, but when you have top 4 playing in one half and bottom 4 in the other you're going to get the best 2 playing earlier than you should.

But they might not be the top 4 sides in your group, thats just your opinion of who the top 4 sides are, OTH are top at the moment , CU won thru last year in 20-20, cu beat AV and Virginia last 2 weeks, so maybe it was an equal split ? . well done to craigmore, enjoy playing the next round.

Dont blow his head up... We will never hear the end of it

Nah, well done today fella

I told him yesterday that he will captain us
To failure lol credit where credit is due I guess

Maybe using the previous years minor ladder as the seeding system.

Group 1= last years 1st, 4th, 5th, div2 runner up

Group 2= last years 2nd, 3rd, 6th, div2 winner

The 1st and 2nd sides host the group stages

You can only play who SAMCA/PDCA put you up against, no point complaining after the days play.
Bagster, well done to Central Utd for putting on a great day, I am sure you started early this morning.

[norm11]

Claymore 67 all out and atco batted all day 161. Cu already won as well. Couple of outright coming up.

Sorry Craigmore. Unfortunately couldn't make it as my daughter had an important netball thingy on today and I had my boys and by the time I got organized it was 10 already and by the time I would have got there from mallala.

[sports follower]

Oh and well done to Craigmore, tremendous result, congratulations - you've got big shoes to fill now in place of CU

No PG all the pressure on Rosies to uphold the PDCA mantle, no one rated CCC and the underdog has prevailed.
Well done to the boys who represented CCC today.

[sports follower]

Well done to the craigmore boys in beating us in the 20-20. Goes to show froffies is human and can't carry the side every week. Real stuff is on Saturday.

So humble Frothies.........

[Grahaml]

Great game today and I agree hat it was a pity that we had to play in the first round.

The bigger pity though was the absolute disgrace that the Westies lads left for us to tidy up for them, must have been thirsty lads as we nearly filled the ute up with empties.
A word from the wise... Pick the F&^k up after yourselves, we do when we visit you blokes, pretty sure there are some photos that are going to follow.

Oh and well done to Craigmore, always good to get a victory against frothies

Not sure you guys get everything in the bin we provide. Not forgetting the fact we weren't the only people sitting there on the day.

Yeah nice comeback, pretty sure after the first game of the season we stayed and had a beer at you oval, bet you they werent there when we left???

I'd no doubt prefer blokes to pick up after themselves, but I know we have a couple of guys who go around picking up bottles etc after every week. Just part and parcel of hosting matches. It's also part of the reason we put bins where people sit so hopefully they use them, but also means it's easier for those blokes to clean up afterwards.

The competing teams are the current grade 1 teams and last season's T20 results don't seem to count for much. The draw was also done well before the season began so results from rounds 1 and 2 don't come into it. Either way though, we're out and it makes little difference whether it's this round or the next we don't get to AO. But it was an eyebrow raising decision nonetheless.

[Thats Gold]

Actually ran into Froffies today in the 2nd game, good to finally put a name to a face. Not quite as confident striding to the wicket as he has been on the forum.

Well done to the boys who represented CCC today.

On the contrary my friend. I rate CU as arguably the best limited overs side in the comp - proven by their success in last seasons T20 comp. They are the most athletic and best fielding side in Grade 1, they have some solid bats and some blokes who can hit big and they have a good range of bowlers who can hit line and length to support Woodward and Picton.

For you to defeat them today sings high praise of your clubs effort and raises the eye brow of all who have seen the units in this form..

R&C on the other hand are not a limited overs side, they are a side who can nag away with the ball and have blokes who build innings and play to a structure. Rosies I don't believe before today have gotten past the 1st game in the current SAMCA format.

It is true though that i dont think anyone rated CCC, myself included, and that was merely based on the p!ss poor performances you have thus far dished up in Grade 1 - but you clearly stood tall and prevailed, and i look forward to progressing with your club to the next stage of the comp where hopefully our two clubs can turn it on and combined once again do the PDCA proud ala CU & AV last season..

Agreed. Yes the draw was made by the top 4 last season in one group and the bottom 4 in another, to me that makes no sense - why play off the top 4 sides (albeit from the season before) against each other in the 1st round of matches?!

Surely there must be some sort of privilege for being in the top 4 sides over the course of a sesaon?!

Although they didnt win, the units on paper were gifted a soft draw after progressing so far last season whilst the Grade 1 grand finalists were matched with AV who were beaten by CU last season for the AO spot, and Virginia who contain some more than handy cricketers still...

That's because he realised he only had a handful of overs to smash a 100 Even the great blokes need some time to play themselves in

I agree some of our performances have not been up to scratch but after today hopefully some of our young players believe in themselves and take some positives out of todays results into the rest of the season and perform as I know they can.
They are a talented group of young players with a good mix of experience and if you believe you never know what can be achieved.

[Phantom Gossiper]

"Netball thingy" is that the scientific term?

Not doubting that, but i can only comment on what i have seen and what results have shown.. although i'm still conscious of the fact im pretty sure you started last season bit slowly as well? Difference is this year if you leave your run too late to find form it may be just that - too late...

Last season started a lot better than this season, only hiccup prior to Xmas was a tie in a 1 dayer against ATCO and then the only loss was also against ATCO in a 2 dayer but we got our revenge in the grade 2 GF .

I agree with you though we cant put up the way with the way we have folded against Rosies & Salisbury west in the last 2 games. We need to value our wicket and build some batting partnerships. Saying that Rosies & Westies are still the benchmark of the comp. OTH have started well and I will be interested to see if they can continue their form.
We need to be competetive against all opposition and hopefully jag a couple of wins.
