openin the batting and not keeping... looking at the weather we probably wont play anyway

You may well be keeping. Jeff Colo unable to play. Was only contacted this evening. Leaving it very late to contact players isn't it?

Would other players like to be captained by Hopkins? Is the best player but doesn't win so many friends on the field. Maybe it's only against the Ramblers.

It has been left late AF but 'skinny' only knew the game was this weekend last thursday so he himself hasn't had much time to organise the game. It is also why the u/21's have been delayed by a week.

[CoverKing]

From what i've heard, Hopkins, Bucky, Sambo, Fordy, Curyer, Mcrae, both Murphys from Westminster, Patching from Keswick, Rowe, Pritchard and i cant remember the other 2. I think one maybe that chipperfield is it from Mitchell Park and maybe another ICC player. Dont quote me on this just what i heard tonight.

If there is any truth to it, not a bad looking side i recon. Could definately give the turf boys a run and win. With any luck, the rain will stay away too.

Anyone heard anything else?

i think pritchard is unavailable and one of the murphys is not playing from i heard last nite...and its somerfield not sure if thats correct spelling! Brett Habib has got a game from Plympton...
should be interesting with the side, but a couple weaker players and unknown players to our comp! Hopefully they get a win..

and AF i think it will be interesting to hear about Westminster's pitch, we have heard its hard to bat on and the ball just pops up but we have not played there with their new pitch. I think your mob should get over the line if you get a couple early wickets!

[CoverKing]

AF could answer that but calderbank has got wickets with his straight bowling

CoverKing out

When is the association team going to be picked on form, not on reputation?

I think the selection of Patching from Keswick and Fordy from Sheidow are signs this sign is picked on form bazza. There isn't many in the side that haven't performed well so far this season.

S. Ford has been making plenty of runs the past 3 yrs..deserves to be in the Association Team, bats all day and frustrates other teams!
B. Cameron will be back into the bulls side to strengthen there line up even more...back from injury and ready to go!
SHARMA GET A HAIRCUT!!

Section 1 runs are all that counts though Jb .

Good to hear that about Cameron hope he has recovered fully from his injury.

[bazza1]

Habib? Your brother not available for the seniors Bloods, nothing against Brett but hes 41 years old, look to the future ASCA. Somerfield, been playing for 2 minutes in our association, only thing that got him a gig is that he has come from turf cricket, the same with Rowe. Unfortunately i think the ATCA side will be too strong for us, I heard on the cricket show on radio ( 1197 am, 7:30- 8:30 every friday morning) that there going to give it a crack this year with best team they have put on the park for some time.

Somerfield and Rowe both played a high level of district cricket last year and their experience on turf will help the side IMO. Yeah Jake is unavailable Bazza he will be working this weekend. I think the guys will give it a good crack.

Yeah to strengthen the lower grades. Wouldn't say it is much news to the rest of the comp

I'm with you Bazza.

Why AF? Who do you think shouldn't be in and who should be in their place?

I'm not to keen on naming players, don't think that helps. Just don't think form has been the no. 1 criteria for selection in recent times (not only this year). If you look at the stats of each player you will find 2 or 3 not going so great. I'd have thought an association team should have 11 blokes in great form and doesn't necessarily have to be the same 11 each game. Saying that, I wouldn't select an unknown who's had one or two great days either. Perhaps the only bloke who would be a walk up start IMO is Hopkins as having been performing so well for so long, the others all need to be perfoming.

[The Hunter]

Nah AF i disagree. i know for a fact that skinny has had to go above and beyond to ensure players in our comp stay dedicated to the assoc side. Its all well and good to pick players that are scoring or taking wickets but in the past they have been the ones that dont want to play after a first round loss. I think last yr is a perfect example. Not everyone in that final were scoring big scores or taking big bags but they were all committed throughout and willing to play for that side no matter what. And i recon that has been skinny and bubble's greatest accomplishment even though heath has moved on. Creating a side that wants to play. I also think that you have to go with reputations sometimes. Who out of the posted side i had shouldn't be there and who should replace them. I should be so enlightened... The players that have been picked on rep are all proven players for the assoc side or have been committed to playing - not just one game! The new players in there from last yr have either scored runs, taken wickets or played at a level above ours. What is so wrong about the side for sunday?This includes you too bazza. Dont beat up our side but rather embrace it. I still think Damien Quirk, Kurt McKinley and Tonkes could get games. I think its about building a side each yr that wants to play. I would rather see a guy that wants to play rather than one that might play.

[Amateur Footy]

I wasn't beating up the whole side mate, just looking at 2 or 3 spots that have been filled with blokes that have 'names' rather than being performing in top few players in comp this yr and last. I presume the side doesn't train together? IMO if the blokes are all dedicated you could have atleast one training session, say on the sunday morning before, and each club could send out one bloke (on top of those selected by Skinny) who is interested and has been performing. Would provide the best pool of players to pick from and sort out who is keen and who isn't. I don't envy Skinny's job, tough one indeed.
