if he was that good of a club person and such a good player he would play section 1 and not just be a big fish in a small pond when he does make section 1 runs then talk him up but while he is just playing C grade all we should say is he is an awesome C grade player because thats where he is playing

Yes but I am saying he would dominate section 1. He has made runs at B Grade district level and there is a big difference between B Grade district and section 1.

It is his choice where he wants to play. It is his first season at the club and he came to the club only because he was going to play in the section 4 side where his mate was captain. If he didn't do that he wouldn't be playing cricket at all and I would rather see him playing than not.

Sarge, i do take what you say about Josh Bennett, but seriously saying he has made runs at B grade level is an exaggeration isnt it? 88 runs at 14.7 in B grade and 26 runs at 8.7 in C grade last year.
I do agree someone that makes that many runs in section 4 would more then likely make a fair amount of runs in section 1 aswell.
I still believe it is an issue for Sheidow Park cricket club to resolve and allowing him to dominate section 4 cricket instead of section 1. However, MPCC are in the same boat with Pitt playing C grade along with Steven Thomas now aswell!!!

the year before though he was doing well in the B Grade before injuring his knee. He made a B Grade 50 last year too.

Shane Pitt probably wouldn't be playing at all if not for playing with mates in the C's. This is the first time he's been able to bowl properly in 2 years due to injury, didn't play at all last year and only 3 games the year before that. He was struggling before the purple patch in the last few games as well. He has said he wants to play the year out in C's and then we'll see what happens next year.
Steven Thomas is waiting on a shoulder recon and shouldn't be playing at all.

Agreed though both should be playing A's if they're fit.

the year before though he was doing well in the B Grade before injuring his knee. He made a B Grade 50 last year too.

I noticed he 55 in the B grade last year out of his 6 hits or however many it was.
Im sure he would do extremely well in section 1, but saying he "has made runs" like you said and saying there is a difference between B grade and section 1, comes across to me that he has made a couple hundreds and scores at B grade district, not just one 50 last year.
Im not sure what he did two years, but it seems that his district results have been talked up a bit!!

Having another quality bat in the Sheidow side this year, would have IMO made them the favourite for the top 4 with 2 games to go. Altho they could still make it with Westminster and Coro to come!

[Moe]

Geez, stating the bleeding obvious, but some MASSIVE games coming up in the next 2 rounds.

The Ramblers boys can expect a bigger than usual crowd at the "Pastie" in the next 2 weeks, especially the second saturday at our Sponsors day.
It is no secret that our home crowd can be boisterous at times & I think they helped get us over the line against Coromandel last week in a very tense finish.
Megaphones, sirens, whistles & horns make for a lot of noise when used by nearly 100 people!

Finishing top in the minor round may well have an added bonus this year, lets face it , whoever finishes 4th will not exactly have been in great form.
Stll, with nothing to lose, the 4th side may throw some spanners into the finals works.

[wycbloods]

The 4th side has as much to lose as the any other side in the finals Moe, i don't buy this we have nothing to lose crap. You are bothing playing for the same thing so you have the same to lose.

[CoverKing]

Yeah i tend to agree with Bloods there Moe. Any side in the top 4 can win the flag, and i think there is everything to lose for both sides!!
However, the team that finishes 4th may well approach it as they have nothing to lose and are well and truly a chance to cause an upset, whoever they play!

Well, that was really what i was getting at, it WOULD be an upset for 4th to beat 1st. The top 3 are a fair way ahead in playing consistantly good cricket, so IMO if you are the side to scrape into 4th then Hey, we made it, lets go for broke.
I know that all sides have the same to "lose" by not playing in the GF, but really, whoever makes 4th spot will be the weaker link in the finals LBH.

The difference is with Thomas and Pitt playing Cs (sect.4) is our B grade are winning and will play finals and A grade a good chance. Shiedows sect 3 and 2 sides are right near the bottom. I am NOT having ago at shiedow but If rolls were reversed i promise you it wouldnt be allowed.
Any1 who knows Shane knows his body in all sorts of trouble, and at 35 i doubt(but hope) he will ever be able to play 75 over cricket again.
Steven Thomas is on a waiting list for a full shoulder recon and fields with 1 arm. The only reason he is playing is because he has been unable to play any sport for 2 plus years and he is going mad. His wife still may divorce him over it!
Also averages of 44 and 31 is a little different than one of 140.

I do however agree they are both WAY to good to play C grade and when fit will play higher next year or even this year.
For the record both those guys saw Bennett first hand this year and both rate him VERY highly both with the bat and ball.

I was unaware of these circumstances when i posted about them playing C grade for your club. Understandable what Morphys are doing with the two guys aswell. Just an observation without little knowledge but i now understand.
Still would like to see them both in the A grade so we get a stronger section 1. Two players i watched play against WYC when i was a youngster and i would love to play against themselves myself

[Moe]

Just like to say Good luck to big Nick "The Vic" Alste on his last game for the club this weekend.
After 5 seasons, our 2nd best Victorian recruit is returning back across the border to Scumbagsville.
A tireless medium/medium/slow bowler (& thinks he can bat a bit) who loves the reverse sweep, and can always be relied on for lengthy 3-4 over stints will be sadly missed, especially when the Vics win in any sport over S.A.

Only had 15 more years to reach life membership as well

P.s. For all the MPCC blokes out there, you know who our best Victorian recruit ever is, don't you?

Also congratulations to young Jimmy Elbourn off to represent South Australia in the U/17 T20 comp in Sydney next week. Good luck>

Yes Bloods, as of last Saturday he had.
The kids are being put up in the same hotel as the Aussie cricketers, with everthing paid for except 2 meals, which knowing Jimmy it will be KFC.
They are also being kept a day later to go and see the T20 at the SCG against the Windies.

Errrrrrrrrrrrr. You've got me there Sarge. Will find out tho.

CK, wouldnt playing a b grade semi final at the club that won the club championship speak for itself... you dont have to be a statistician to say the bloke would dominate sec1 asca...

i would actually go as far to say he is the most talented player in asca right now... i dont care that hes only playing sec4, having played cricket with him at Sacred Heart and against him when he was at West Torrens ive been lucky enough to see some of the better knocks, spells and catches i have seen in my time. and the reason why most of you wouldnt have heard of him before is because he only moved to Adelaide when he was 17 from Broken Hill

Im not denying he wouldnt dominate section 1. All im saying is sarge and yourself, saying he "has made runs at B grade" which IMO comes across that he has made a couple of tons and other scores, not just a once of score of 55. The reason of why people have not heard of him before is because he has only been a C grade district player with B grade games aswell, that is why. I dont think it has anything to do with moving to Adelaide 5 years ago or thereabouts.
Most people on this forum would have some knowledge of A grade district players, but not that great of knowledge on the levels below. Simple as that!
