he might gain experience as a captain but what about his cricket, he's made 84 runs from 8 hits batting at 6 or 7 with an average of 14, he would be better to prove himself in the grade 1st then captain the side...his bowling isnt too bad tho 10 wkts at 13
but still get ur cricket right first as there is plenty of time for him to capt his club after that

and how have some of the other captains gone in the comp??
North haven - 86 runs from 7 hits and 9 wickets at 18
ICC - 22 runs from 5 hits, doesnt bowl
Coro - 112 runs from 9 hits ave 12
Coro Ramblers - 69 runs from 6 hits batting 4/5, 13 wickets
Mitchel Park - 53 runs in 6 hits at 8.8, 2 wickets at 47

Gonna scrutinize these blokes too, or is it just easier to pick on the young bloke?

I think those stats prove that the captain isn't always the best cricketer in the side but the best person to lead the side.

I would say the captains that are excelling in their own performances would be Curyer and Hopkins. Basso and Sheppard are both probably doing ok.

so should he be captain then AF?? ur captain has taken 13 wickets at about 9, that is not a great deal different then 10 wickets at 13..and his batting average of 11.5!!!!
I think it is great to see Adam Willson be captain, and he deserves it, he has had a reasonable year (obviously he would like more runs but he is a bowler who bats a bit). He has a very level head and i dare say that he woulda been right up there in choices even if a number of older blokes decided to stay!

plymptons captain averaging 17 with the bat and keeps so does that mean he should b captain??
and bloods i think the sarge has the stats to back up his captaincy aswell as winning 17 in a row as captain (im guessing u jsut missed him out ur list)

[CoverKing]

personally as long as they do enough to warrant selection and they are the best man for the job i think they should do it! Good on any one for captaining a sec 1 side, definitely a hard gig!

icc captain prob only one that has not earnt there spot (but he plays because he runs the place i think)

[TTJ]

ck im suprised u have the minerals 2 keep writing on here mate!! i thought u were informed earlier 2day that u give out opinions that nobody really cares about...so y bother??

sorry TTJ i forgot about that and my opinions are crap!
but i know u and bloods and JB read em so il write em for u!
looks like Pot Hole may have some sense aswell with his first post disagreeing with something that AF has said, something different

top bloke ck!

[The sarge]

I always read what u have to say CK. I think u are one that does talk sense most of the time.

On the subject of the skipper. I dont think south road have any problems because they have appointed a young captain. I know our club went that way 2 years ago to look to the future. South Road have had 2 awesome years and are not going to make a guy skipper for no reason. Obviously they believe he was the man for the job and he has had a better personal year than some other captains as Pot Hole pointed out. They have lost some very talented players any team who has lost the talent they have will fall away a bit.

where did he disagree with me? Where did I mention his performance? It would be nice if you actually read my posts. Go back and read the very first post that started this all.

And where did I talk up the ramblers? I have said we should play finals with the wins on the board at xmas.

well disagree probably wrong word to be used MY BAD! he just pointed out that u were quick to scrutinize the young willson but did not bring up the other captains who have failed to cement there spot in there own side and that u took an easier option/person to criticise!!!!
i think u have been very positive on the ramblers start, especially earlier in the year, but u did back off a bit at christmas thats for sure.
dont let it get too u AF this is just a forum and cricket is just a game

[Roseboy]

Umm, CK - Pot Hole was quoting Bay Boy who scrutinized his performance. I can't see where AF has actually had a go at Willson personally anywhere. He mentioned the club, but surely that's open for interpretation?

Somewhere else someone mentioned he was 18 and it became a discussion point. I don't think think its any more than that.

Good on ya for backing the young fella - but I don't think there's any malice by anyone.

Interesting post by Pot Hole too. As bloods said, you're not picked as captain cos you're the best player, it should be because you're the best leader and get the most out of the team. It may just happen both are true for some clubs.

[Amateur Footy]

For the last time, I did not say Wilson was doing a bad job - that was not my post. I'd like you to find my post that said that. I said it would be tough to captain a side at 18 and that he would have been appointed at such a young age due to the position the club has found itself in. You blokes only read what you want to.

Enjoy the cricket, cause this forum is crap. Roseboy will keep you informed about the Ramblers I'm sure.

[jibba1]

What if we had a competition where the top 4 sides of every competition played each other in a knockout for a cup

[Roseboy]

I've thought about something similar to that... I wondered about a champion's league where the premiership team from ASCA, turf, southern, nothern, church etc all play off in a knock-out comp to see who the best team is.

Then I woke up and realised it'd take forever and the cricket season is probably long enough for everyone.

[jibba1]

the top 4 sides in every comp etc so say if western youth,icc sharks ramblers and whoever finishes 4th this year they will play next year against the other teams who finished top 4

My bad i forgot about B McCormack being skipper .

[wycbloods]

[quote="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?[/quote]

I guess that is the post that started all the talk on young captains and sth rd. So yes AF you did not have a go at Wilson personally but i think you were alluding to the dire state of affairs at sth rd for them to have an 18 year old captain. Maybe a few of us misinterpreted what you had said, that happens, so don't take it to heart big fella because we all love reading what you have written on here as well.

[Tight_Lines]

AF is a bit touchy isnt he its an open forum so your gona get (Hell I'll say It) GALLAHS writing crap (yours truely!) dont take it so personally anyone can sign up and write crap doesnt make it all true or worth getting worked up about their opinion. Unless its JB
