righto i'm done, had my fun, over it now. Mind back on the job and Central United this Saturday at Ridley.

After watching Dave Ritzema and Brad Woodward hit the ball today, think we might have to push the boundaries out another 20m lol

Would like to extend my thanks to Craigmore Cricket Club in their support and contribution to the PDCA and the representative side..

WTF kind of club goes and punishes a bloke for doing something wrong by telling him he cant play today?!? REALLY!? REEEEEEALLY!!??

If you want to enforce some policies and discipline in your club that's great, suspend the kid from playing in YOUR team on a Saturday, not withdrawing him from the rep side late on a Sat arvo and hurting not only the team playing but the association as a whole, not to mention the pressure then placed on the coaching staff to find a replacement keeper at such short notice!

Hope he isn't suiting up next Saturday for Craigmore then.. spastics

Ahh good old craigmore cricket club- "the place to be"... apparently so. Just ask them

But really what an absolute joke. The matter between gebauer and craigmore is an internal matter and should be kept that way. A pdca rep side has nothing to do with this club and therefore they have no right tok tell a bloke what he can and cannot do with his sunday arvo.

Craigmore... complete utter bullsh!t

Doubt it. Havent been down there all season. Theres some good people down there, but this decision is just ridiculous. I think at times they lose site of the whole social cricket aspect that the pdca has

Well seen as I have been viewing a hard wicket game for some of today, containing players from this thread, I guess I'm allowed to post here??

I don't quite get why adults are playing on a surface that was made for school and kids cricket, it's great for these two groups because it offers even bounce for batsmen, good carry for keepers, and it can be played on in harsher weather than turf. For the owners of such grounds its offers a lot less upkeep, once laid can be forgotten about, no need to pay a groundsman, perfect for schools.

But we have adults playing on it, producing shots with footwork similar to sewag, the footwork is the only thing similar to sewag. As I type, another lusty blow over deep mid on- deep mid wicket. That's right, cow corner. This surface also seems to make these seamers who are no quicker than a M. Samuels quicker ball bowl bouncers.

Lastly, for a league select eleven, there are some portly fellows in the 22 that don the leagues colours.
Oh and another one over in that same area, only this time the batsman stands there with his chest out, I presume he thinks he has played a good shot, or pushing his chest out better hides his ample waistline.

Presumably the rule

C10. Special Rules
(2) Any player who makes his/herself available for selection in an Association team and subsequently withdraws himself or herself, may be summoned to appear before a tribunal.

Will be looked at. Will be a big injustice if the only game he misses is the association game if indeed it's a CCC invoked suspension.

i dont quite guess why as sensible adults, you turf people waste so much time and effort of the same overworked club volunteer untrained curator to spend hours preparing a shite cricket wicket , only to have too much rain on thursday, friday or saturday and you cannot play your game, as adults who have a busy lifestyle you cannot see that all that time and effort would be better spent with the wives and kids to spare you up for saturday afternoons with your mates at the cricket club, THEN 15 minutes later having rolled out the matting, pegged it in , and BANG... we play 99.9% of every saturday, and although we may not have the facilities and the silver spoons that some of your snobbish clubs have and we have to rely on our local council to mow and water our ovals, you turf people are no better cricketers or cricket lovers than us, in fact , even having the rules that favor you, we still beat you , both in the seniors and the pasting the under 21s gave you, you adelaide turd clowns need to get off your podium and except, you aint that bloody good.... although you dont like the cow corner, warner does, gayle does, sehwag does, pollard does, etc etc etc etc.... and i was actually surprised how pedestrian your so called quicks were... especially the old bloke with the mop on his head that had to go off after his spell and abuse the 12th man rule that PDCA were not allowed to use. also, when WE are supposed to have our turn at have the home ground advantage, when we play hardwicket you should use a 2 piece ball because thats what we use, when you have home ground advantage, we will use a 4 piece ball as you use, but NO we have to use your ball on our pitch !! JOKE !!! maybe just to even it up ?? and on the players waistlines, they are weekend social cricketers, even ATCA dont have a weigh in each saturday.. or do they? ill text rocco to find out... maybe PG will know that too.

Bagster, great win today by the PDCA boys it seems!

Couple of points id like to point out...

1st..
As for the ball, whether its your home game or not the rules on the SAMCA website (if you wanted to check) states..
12. Balls Permitted:
The ball to be used in this competition will be a Kookaburra Regulation 4 piece (156 gram) ball.

2nd..
As for going off after his over today.. rules state...
7. Team Limitations:
Teams will be made up of 12 named players of which only eleven (11) can bat or bowl. The spare player (12th man) may be interchanged with a player on the field (not including the wicket-keeper) at any time (at the end of over, fall of wicket etc.) providing this interchange does not delay the game. This interchange will not incur any penalties under the “Laws of Cricket” except for time wasting.

So doubt he was abusing that.

At the end of the day the reason that you guys are so happy that you won, is because at the end of the day, you know that they have better players in ATCA, and that makes you want to win, and enjoy it so much more when you do. I will never forget the game we beat ATCA for PDCA, one of the best outdoor cricket games i have been involved with... At the end of the day that side on paper will beat you 99 times out of 100. Game isnt played on paper tho.

You say that we have untrained curators, do you know any of the people who put the time and effort into preparing a pitch? I know of at least 10 clubs that have very good curators at the club, and trust me its much harder that banging a few pegs into the ground on a saturday morning. You also say that we Atca players are no better cricketers than you. That my friend is a lie. Im not saying im better than anyone else in your association but my word there are MUCH MUCH better cricketers in ATCA than PDCA. All in all, good win by PDCA today and congrats to them, just dont dress it up to be more than it is!

to be fair, what hashtag put on here earlier today is embarrassing for not only himself but also he is embarrassing the ATCA. Who comes on here with sour grapes like that?

YES the ATCA have a better number of cricketers and a better caliber of players but that doesn't simply mean that all PDCA players are crap. The team that ATCA put forward was not good enough on the day. They may have played higher levels of cricket, they may have big names but on the day they didn't win. Credit to the PDCA boys, a relatively young squad and never stopped believing. A few interesting moves or mistakes from the ATCA captain helped to.

Well done to the PDCA today. Good luck in a couple of weeks for your next game.

and before i go....someone has to say it...........MY GOD, that ATCA umpire was a complete disgrace......was he blatantly cheating today?????

[Squids]

Well done on your win, you now have to play the port pirie B grade combined team

[Sonofbrowny25]

Good work to the PDCA getting over the line today. I think atca should maybe put more research into the teams when coming up against a team on hard wicket... U have blokes who have recently come off hard wicket and now in turf who genuinely know how to bowl and bat on hard wicket. They also know how to get blokes out after playing them for years in the PDCA. It is a different thing if you are going to play on turf on the day but playing on hard wicket is a different story. Some thinking wouldn't have been a bad idea ATCA may have won then

[Merki the God]

Yesterday's result just proves what I have been trying to say for the last few seasons, that the PDCA is the second best cricket comp in the state (narrowly behind SACA). It's about time these ATCA peoe started paying us some much deserved respect and stop thinking they are so good. I for one have had enough of their arrogance, and yesterday's victory is so sweet. Up the PDCA!!

Youve pretty much answered your own question there really havent ya. So i guess now you have your answer you can toddle off back to your own thread?

So your saying that it is a league full of lazy human beings?

Anyway, I feel as tho the surface that was played on brought the atca players down to the school level, as I said before, lacking in footwork. I just think that the vast potential of the hard wicket players would be for filled if they tested themselves on turf wickets, got to take the training wheels off at some stage you know.

Great win yesterday boys. Was good to play in and I'm sure the people that came down to watch didnt regret their decision. Hashtag, stop taking it so seriously mate. We play on a different surface and we rotate it every year. Not sure what the fuss is about. Your entitled to your opinion but most here are probably not going to aggree. There is no need to come on here and post that arrogant trash, especially when we took the chocolates. Makes you look like an 8 yr old. Act your age.

Not lazy human beings, just people who don't think they are world class cricketers, dont chase coin and put themselves on a pedestal looking down on others but people who play cricket for the right reasons, enjoy the social aspect and still the competitive nature.

If you feel the ATCA players were brought down by the level then that indicates to me that perhaps they are not as fantastic cricketers as they believe themselves to be, they should be good enough to adapt to different surfaces and conditions just as every other hard wicket comp has to do when they face turf sides on turf decks. Lack of footwork is probably down to pure laziness, perhaps these lads are spoilt each week by playing on flat decks where they can habitually jump on the front foot every ball and play through the line that they almost dont need to rely on watching the ball closely or adjusting their footwork but rely on their eyesight and trust the pitch.


Lastly, I think you will find their are a plenty of players within PDCA who have played cricket on turf, so it's not a matter of playing with training wheels or not testing themselves.
