Can any of you WYC boy's tell me why your sect 2 side won the toss and bowled first ?
Just curious and what the thinking was there.
Condition wise there was no advantage or disadvantage.

i am assuming its because Morphy's are top and do have a real good bowling attack with Miller and Florence, but i think the score at 4/79 and then if they held there catches they coulda skittled them for 150 odd. they dropped the bloke that made 93 or so, on 2. Catches win matches and if they took that and had morphys 5/85 it woulda been total different ball game.
But still most times u should win the toss and bat first, or were our B grade looking for the outright and skittling morphy's?? haha highly doubt it

[CoverKing]

Who would be the best current player/ players at all section 1 clubs?

I personally think Ross Moore from Plympton is one of the BEST young talents going round if not the best... He is a fine bowler and can bat too!!!

AF that is where i got the young player from, but then i can see the best current player/player(s) that you were talking about..

Best current player IMO from each side then going on statistics this year and from my experience.
ICC: sampson
ramblers: Calderbank, Work
WYC: Hopkins
Plympton: Pritchard
Sheidow: Ford
Coro: Cheek (looking at there batting tho its extremely poor averages with only one bloke over 20 thats scored a half decent amount of runs)
Westminster: Steve Mcrea
North Haven: D.Quirk for all round results or Noack
Mitchell Park: Adams but Drenthen a quality bowler
South Road: hutchesson or howevr u spell it
Glenelg ANA: between O'Malley and Rowe
Keswick: Rusty Curyer

The captain doesn't enjoy batting much.

well he doesnt enjoy fielding after the w/e's effort

[Amateur Footy]

Didn't see where we were only talking about young blokes. Some of those previous points were a load of crap so I thought I'd keep it going.

If you are including guys up to 21-22, then Worky is up there too. Only 22 I think. If he put a decent value on his wicket he'd have made a stack of runs and hasn't been too bad with the ball this yr either.

I thought the South Rd captain looked young, but that is ridiculous. Fancy trying to captin a side when you are 18?

I don't think that is ridiculous AF i think it is a brave move by the club but i think if they believe he has a level head and a good cricket brain then give it to him. I think you give it to the best person for the job whether they be 55 or 15.

Call it brave or whatever, it's happened because half their side left. An 18yr old hasn't seen the batsmen in our comp before, so can't set a field based on their strength's or weaknesses when they first arrive at the crease. Fine is he's got a level head, and from what I saw he seemed decent enough, but I think it's more of a reflection of where the club is at than anything else. Poor old Darren Williams is still stuck in As!!!

he did play in an A Grade premiership last year AF and play A's the whole of last year so i think he will have a fair idea of what going. More so than you by the sounds of things .

Cannot see the point you are making with that rubbish. Experience is exactly that, not one season's worth. Tell me Robbie would be happy to play under an 18 yr old? Yeah right.

[jb]

the sarge is 22 and 20 when he got the job... i dont c a problem if he is more than capable... who else from south road would be better?

only one with a level head is willson!
Hutchy is there best bat and has experience that can give some guidance to adam willson at certain points but is definitely not captain material. he is a loose cannon at times! So he can draw on what other people know of certain players such as peterson and may as the bowlers, then hutchy from behind the stumps...i think it is a brave and good move for south road for promoting there youngsters in the seniors as they have no juniors from my understanding

[Amateur Footy]

I think you blokes missed my point. If it were at almost any other club he wouldn't be doing it as there are experienced blokes there keen to lead. Sheidow is different with so many young blokes who would respect Sarge (and it was sect. 2 when he started).

He may be the best option at South Rd, which is an indication of where they are at IMO.

may be a bit of a far fetched comparison but i believe cameron white was 20 when he was given the captaincy of victoria, now surely if a 20 year old was given the gig at first class level i would assume an 18 year old captaining in ASCA sect 1 isnt ridiculous?? and from what others are saying he is doing quite a decent job! IMO i think it is a good move

If Robbie wasn't right for the job, which he has shown that he is, then CK would have been captain and Robbie would have played under him. You have no idea of how Robbie plays or how he is as a person so i guess comments like that are utter bullsh!t.

To be honest we don't play against anyone that i think you need set plans for most batsmen in our comp get themselves out to good bowling. I agree that sometimes you know a batsmens strength but Wilson has played us all before and IMO that is enough of a look at our level.

I reckon I remember WYC setting certain fields to Gilly before he takes strike...

But for the most part I agree, you quickly learn where most batsmen like to hit and you set your field accordingly.

My hat goes off to anyone willing to captain a section 1 team. Its a pretty big job to be captain of your club and can be especially difficult if you've got one or more ex-captains in your side.

So we beat every other team by a ball then .

Hehe, touche!

[wycbloods]

Roseboy or AF if you guys picked a captain under the age of 23 who would it be at your club?

CK would have been our first choice but he is a bad bloke and is leaving to go to the NT .

Not sure that we would have anyone else under that age bracket to do the job atm.

What about the other clubs?

[CoverKing]

Well look at Graeme Smith, only captained his country at the age of 22 and look what he has done to there cricket since he has taken over. He led players like boucher, pollock and kallis! if he can do that im sure Adam willson can captain hutchy and the other south road boys!
Yes he might make a mistake or take a while to pick up on certain batsmen, but then every captainwill do that and fields that dont apply or shouldn apply for certain batsman! he will learn n gain more experience as acaptain then he would as a player...IMO it shows how high he is regarded at South Road by his peers and committee and members...

[Roseboy]

In previous years, the captain at the Ramblers has had a pretty tough time of it with anywhere up to 4 ex-A grade captains in the team.

Don't get me wrong, they're all top blokes, but its pretty intimidating for anyone, especially a youngster. Now that the team is a lot younger, its probably a bit different.

AF may well have a different opinion to me, but Nick Work would be up there, but not for a few years yet. Good thinking cricketer with plenty of talent and leadership skills are coming through. Probably lacks a bit of confidence and a bit shy to be captain right now.

So if we had to choose right now of the 6 guys under 23... It may well be the 17 year old, Brad Davenport. Knows the game well for a kid his age, very level head, a good communicator and is very mature for his age.

good bloke to go with it there roseboy! dont think he has proven himself yet totally but in coming years he would be a candidate thats for sure IMO from an outsider looking in

I don't know how he plays? You've got to be kidding. And ofcourse he's the right one for the job when your players respect him. If you want to discredit every comment I make you had better smarten up and read what I have actualy said about South Rd. Have not said anything bad about Sth Rd Captain. The club is seriously struggling and you have completely ignored this as being my main point. Lose the attitude big boy.

[wycbloods]

South Rd may be struggling but how do we know that Wilson wouldn't have been captain had some or all the others had stayed. You may know how Robbie plays but you certainly don't know how he has led the team it was more your 'yeah right' comment that irked me because you don't know who Robbie would play under.
