Adelaide Hills Cricket 2012/13 (HCA, TVCA, A&EH)

[2jox]

I believe Milburn and Kyle Sutton were amongst the D Graders from last year who are now playing A Grade for Uraidla. There's definitely a whole lot of grey matter in that middle order (with or without Brown / Carter) though.

Would be interested if anyone could confirm names of the alleged district A Graders coming to Onkas are too. Interesting move to start "mid season" as it were. Also an interesting assumption that every bowler coming from west of Crafers is lighting fast.

Interesting post "Frothin", particularly given it was made at 5am!

One thing to talk about there Jack Page where did he come from and why is he playing at Gum's????? can bat and heard he is a more than handy spinner.

Jack Page has been playing with Gum for at least 2 or 3 years, maybe longer. Hits the ball hard. His brother opens the bowling for them, but unsure if they’re both locals or not.

From memory he didn’t bowl too much after xmas last season, but with Dutschke back at Woodside (swaps between Woodside and Gum every season it seems ) they might need some overs from him.

Round 3 sees:

Cambrai v Mt Torrens. You’d expect Mt Torrens to win here, although never easy winning up at Cambrai.
Paracombe v Gumeracha. GF rematch and early battle for top spot.
Lenswood v Palmer. Hard one to predict, both teams hot and cold.
Eden Valley v Birdwood. Depends a bit on the fitness of big Ugg and Starick. Birdwood a silly chance here.

Dutchy, fair call i like it

Thanks for the info Saintal

As mentioned 2jox the players were having a season off, just want to play for fun i think and coming from a Grade side hills cricket would be a bit of fun for them. Not too much training involved in country cricket but still a good level & more than one beer after the games.

Any other things happening around the traps lads???

Saintal Gum's a good chance to win the GF?????

Guessing the game between Paracombe & Gum's is at Paracombe i might pop out & watch that one.

Might be some good hitting by Jack Page from what Saintal is saying

J Page is a hitter, when hot makes quick runs. B Sumner played a great innings Saturday, gave one chance early and in the end made Mounts pay. if he had fallen cheaply Gum would've lost. too many dropped catches by mount torrens

A&EH, bit of rain about will this help the sides Bowling this week i think so, especially if they are on turf.

Strath might give Nairne a hurry u but i can't see them beating them
Ashbourne, wow big score by the Creek lads but on a small oval and on the Ashbourne oval i think the English lads might enjoy. It will be like playing back home, Ashbourne to chase them down but need to get past a couple of bowlers and that's it.
Woodside, not ideal for them but have a strong bowling attack would expect them to roll them if they get to the middle order quickly with the ball still new and Galvin firing
Lobethal, wow what a great side over the last decade. I think the old boys will pull through and get them to 228 might be wrong though.

Strath - Nairne game in the balance, hard to pick. go with the team with runs on the board. tip - NAIRNE

Wistows batting is suspect and although not a huge score to chase, Woodside to defend their total. tip - WOODSIDE

Lobey v Hassold, i mean Hahndorf also in the balance. Again, runs on the board are gold so tip - HAHNDORF

Creeks shouldn't have any trouble in defending 323. Dont know what you're thinking Yoda? I cant remember a 'A' grade team in the last 30 years that have failed to defend 300+.
Ashbourne oval isn't that small - Creeks failed to hit a six last week in 323, that wouldn't happen to often. Also the pitch was VERY two paced and not that easy to play shots on and if it plays the same this week, the locals will do well to make 200.
Tip - Creeks comfortably.

SUNDAY
Will be interesting as teams may struggle to field close to their best sides.
Also a shortage of umpires i believe for Sunday.

Creeks v Lobey - Lobey a big chance to break their duck over the Creeks who may be fielding a VERY young team.

Nairne v Woodside is the clash of the round. Tip - Nairne only bcos of home ground.

Wistow host Hahndorf. 50/50 game, depends what Hassold scores. tip - NFI

Ashbourne v Strath - Strath a very strong Favorite here.

[jackpot jim]

Ashbourne set a cracking pace today in their huge run chase and their 3 English imports were pretty impressive as well as they raced to 1/150 after only 25 overs. Creeks finally managed a few breakthroughs leading up to tea including the big wicket of Stidston - RUN OUT in a terrible mix up right on the break. They were still on track as overs wern't a problem and with Roberts looking good but he unfortunately run out another partner going for a 3rd run in an attempt to keep the strike and eventually through his own wicket away as he ran out of partners. Baker 45 odd, Harding & Roberts 75 odd.
L.Ck 8/323 & 3/100 odd def Ashbourne 267.
Credit to Ashbourne for recruiting these guys to strengthen their team and the comp and i'm sure a few wins are not far off for them.

Nice wrap JJ....... Any other scores from A&EH?

[Pinarello]

Nairne 209 vs Woodside.....

[Dutchy]

So Bridgewater CC take the easy option and drop down the B grade comp, can accept that if they have lost a heap of players and no hope of being competitive. Then in their 2nd game they field an A grade type side and score 482

Its a disgrace for the HCA and pure embarassing for their cricket club.

[jackpot jim]

I believe ALL 4 fielding teams Saturday defended their scores in A&EHCA as i predicted.
Creeks over Ashbourne
Nairne over Strath
Hahndorf over Lobethal
Woodside over Wistow.

Sundays 1 dayers.
Nairne 209 i'd assume would probably be a winning score?

Creeks maintained their undefeated record against Lobethal with a nail biting win at the Creek.
Creeks after a good start crumbled quickly and were dismissed in about 32 overs for 128. Johnson continued his good form with the bat with 44 and along with Ben Warren 18 would've both been disappointed with their dismissels seemingly having the bowling at their mercy before both holing out off the bowling of Wimberly.
Lobethal in reply were slow and steady before wickets started to tumble with Hackett being the mainstay of their innings. With the score being 8/85 with about 10 overs to go, Hackett cut lose with a flurry of 4s to quickly reduce the margin to only 12 b4 edging to slip off of Warren for a fine 75. Lobey edged their way to within 6 runs on victory b4 Creeks 15 y.o. Rothe completed a caught & bowled to dismiss them for 122 in 38 overs.

any other results?

[kickittome]

Strath with half of there a grade team unavailable beat ashbourne today by 14 runs. Yesterday strath lost to nairne all out for 149 chasing 170 odd, with Jared tait picking up 5 wkts. Don't know any other results sorry.

[The Phoenix]

Who was missing from the Strath team for the Sunday game? Sounded like Ashbourne really took it up to them? Good to hear the A&EH sounds like it's a more even comp this year....no real bunnies!

Heard that Ashbournes Englishmen failed to get amongst the runs today. That'd be even more disappointing for them after only failing by a dozen or so runs.

And yeah, i think the 'A' grade comp is quite even this year with perhaps Nairne being a clear Fave ahead of Woodside and Strath.

Agree wuth you here JJ - the comp is far more even than last year, and with Mount Barker & Cally going to A2's there are now no "easy beats".

Nairne - saw a bit of them yesterday, excellent depth, bat all the way down, and bowl a disciplined line/length.
Woodside - 2nd best team in the comp. Medlow very defensive Captain, like to see him set more attacking fields every now & then!
Strath - Not seen them but the Abbotts (Mark & Matt) will see them being pretty competitive.
Wistow - The big improvers for the season thus far - Good luck to them.
L/Creek - A good win Vs Lobey, look better with B Warren around the place.
Lobey - Very slow start to the season, relying too much on Col. Youngsters need to step up.
Hassdorf - Appear a one man band just now!
Ashbourne - Also improved although still looking for their first win for the season.

Round 5 Tips
Sat 10 Nov, 17 Nov(1:00 PM) Nairne v Wistow (Nairne Oval) - Nairne to win for me, just too strong.
Sat 10 Nov, 17 Nov(1:00 PM) Langhorne Creek v Woodside (Langhorne Creek Oval) - Will be a good game, will go for the Creek on their home turf, assuming B Warren plays.
Sat 10 Nov, 17 Nov(1:00 PM) Lobethal v Ashbourne (Lobethal Oval) - Interesting game, surely Lobey to get a season opening win at home!
Sat 10 Nov, 17 Nov(1:00 PM) Hahndorf v Strathalbyn (Hahndorf Oval) - If Strath can pick up Hassold for under 50, they win, if he makes another ton, then Hahndorf can win it.

[Yoda]

Good round of picking Jack Pot

Creeks had a great weekend with two wins, great to see they held off a good run chase by Ashbourne i got that wrong oops.

Nairne to beat Wistow Nairne to much depth
Woodside to beat an inform Creek. Johnson on fire but can he keep doing it with bat & ball???
Lobethal & Ashbourne who knows toss of the coin
Hahndorf to get beat by strath close game though i think

TVCA any reports lads???

Went & watched Gumeracha & Paracombe, not a bad game. J Page was hitting the ball well, would have been nice to see him be a bit more patient but that goes for a few of them. Good win by Gumeracha bowlers bowled well for both sides.

Hills

I see Meadows cant stop making big scores, L Tonkin good to see with a 100 or so not out and R Reid with more runs 80 odd
Onkaparinga with a fair target to bowl too can Uraidla get them??? D Brown back playing yet???
SCIB solid effort with the ball again i read & 1/57 not enough for Aldgate to bowl too i think 108 they need to make more runs to push for finals

Final 4 maybe Meadows, Onkaparinga, Uraidla, toss up between SCIB & Mt Lofty at this stage any more thoughts on this lads???

[jackpot jim]

Who was missing from the Strath team for the Sunday game?

3 players - Billington, Foskett & B.Abbott REPLACED Neumann, Paterson & Pelle from their previous game.

Not quite 1/2 a team by my calculations.

My Tips

Nairne way to strong for Wistow who have done surprisingly well so far this year. Huge test for them.
Lobey or Ashbourne will break their duck in this one. Could go either way but i'm tipping the Ashbourne BULLS to take this one out.
Strath have a more even spread of talent than Hahndorf which will see them get the points in this game.
Woodside to start faves over the Creeks and are the tip. Happy to be wrong tho. Creeks would certainly be more than capable of winning this IF they had their full side in which unfortunately for them will probably rarely happen. Warren only expected to make the odd appearance during the season and Golding who has now served his suspension but may still be a week or 2 away from resuming. With doubts still about wether Dellatore will resume, too much is being left on the shoulders of Johnson who also may be doubtful now and then later in the season with footy commitments.

Hey Guys

I would be interested to know what the rules are, or even other peoples understanding of the following scenario.

A player, who plays for a district club in Adelaide and played for them on Saturday, turns out for a hills club on Sunday in the one day fixture. Is that allowed? Can you play for 2 different clubs, in 2 different comps on the same weekend, albeit different days?

Fair to say the player had 0 impact on the game!!

Thoughts gentlemen?

[saintal]

Interesting situation Pinarello. The TVCA by-laws do not cover such a situation, hence you could assume it would be above board if it ever occurred in our comp.

TVCA Round 3:

Cambrai 5/148 def Mt Torrens 120. Young Kain with 4/24 and A. Falkenberg 87* leading Cambrai to their first win.
Gumeracha 9/177 def Paracombe 96. 7 batsman in double figures for Gum before they ripped through the host’s line-up.
Palmer 9/215 def Lenswood 7/161. Batting first we were 30-40 short of a competitive score on a very quick deck. Dropping Rathjen on about 20 hurt (made 65). Palmer batted well.
Eden Valley 9/164 def Birdwood 147. Birdwood 8/61 before late charge. Good to see the EV skipper amongst the runs with 65. The unknown M. Brown with 7/27 for EV.

So after 3 rounds there’s only one unbeaten team (Gum) and one winless team (Birdwood).

[Yoda]

Good One Pinarello,

My understanding is that if you have a permit due to work or a dual permit that this can be allowed but i thought it had to be approved by the association in question?

But i could be wrong?????? Would be great to get the official ruling on this, it could open up a massive can of worms for all country comps.

In my opinion the only reasons it should be allowed is work & if they are playing in a lower grade than A grade and they don't want to play grade cricket for the rest of the year.

Any other thoughts?????
