I can remember the bad old days when we had younger guys dropped for club legends so that they could play in a premiership. I'd like to think that wouldn't happen now.

Having said that, thankfully it was explained well to all parties why it was done and was accepted and worked out really well for the club.

Serious question RB. We the legends replacing younger guys purely for finals and in what grade were they doing it? Were you one of the younger guys? I think it is less of an issue in A grade sides, although AF alluded to that isn't case with the ramblers, but the lower the standard the harder it is to say you must train to play etc.

Yep. Getting dropped for a Final sucks. We had an instance where a bloke left at Christmas for Interstate and I was dropped for the semi because he became available despite not playing a game post-Christmas. That really did bite the big one. I played on at the club though, loyalty was more important to me but I made my stance clear. Wasn't happy and nor should I have been. Worst part was the skipper was over ruled by other parties at the club.

Yeah mate I remember that not good. In my last year we had about 15 players trying to get into our finals side for the D grade.

One chap took five wickets in the last round and I wanted to pick him but like your skipper I was overuled. When I went to bat in the nets this bloke sended down about four or five bouncers and I copped a nasty one on the gloves. This and subsequent incidents suggested to me that the correct call was made by the selection committee.

My own brother in law missed out on that side and he was and still is spewing about it even though I told him from day one that we were going to 'qualify' him for the finals but he was long odds to get selected. As for the bloke who tried to run me over the less said the better.

Wasn't RB. It was in our last A Grade premiership in late 90s when Karl Gill and Scott Sharland were brought up from Bs for grand final only. We won the game but mainly because Crampy and Strangey ripped through (Warradale?). Depends on the commitment of the guys in the lower grade, if they've been doing the right things all year then no problem. If it's only based on form, then I may have a problem.

Brought in for the GF only is a big call to make and you would want them to do something special to vindicate the decision to bring them in. Winning the GF i guess makes the decision look right but it leaves the two who missed out in a difficult position.

How did everyone's game go today? Ours against Glenelg got to tea and then called off due to persistent rain. I think Coro/Sheidow was the same.

We were looking good, 3/110 at tea or so (Amateur Footy 47*). 17 overs for us next week now to make it a 58-over game a piece.

Don't everyone jump in at once....?

Very interesting that Coro/Sheidow game is poised almost exactly the same. Pull your finger out Sheidow.

Still think were on top of our match they were pretty shattered when the game was pulled they know their behind the 8 ball a little but we need to restrict them in their last 15 but picking up Cheecky late helped. They were fired up which helped to they seemed very tense today.

Icc 140
Sampson 56
Some other dude 49

Plympton 4-45

[bazza1]

North Haven bowled Westminster out in the 48th over for 160 and in reply we are 0/19. Moose Martin took 5/18. Deck was good, outfield was senstional. Enjoyable day of cricket, we even went back to the Marion Hotel for a few drinks with the boys.

Bowls like the wind one week, wants to bowl off spin the next.

Nothings changed then.

You do selections around team balance thinking you're going to have a swift pace bowler only for a person to turn up wanting to throw darts down.

nice to see the problem is still there 10 years later

[woodublieve12]

our B grade bowled out icc for 209 in the 56 over... almost full day in.. a fantastic cameo by the great A.Brigmanis... Champion club bowler... He picked up 2...

[Moe]

Sorry about getting in late with Morphies score, but is was captain fantastic Baz Roocke's bucks show last night, so there are a few sore heads out there.
If anyone cares MPCC 5/110 from memory. Pretty piss poor effort from some who know the season is over. Thought we would play for some pride tho. Plus I hate, nay, detest that South Road mob of ****!!!
B's Warradale all out 89. 50overs (Positive batting )
C's MPCC 7/217 50 overs
D's Christ knows

Correct. Still think it is the weakest thing I have seen since the underarm incident in 1981.
Get over it ? Never!

On Brigga...........Well it's more of a night light nowadays
