Dodgy as!

Surely that will go down as a loss in each grade.

Surely that would be the minimum penalty, should be harsher than that

The club in question are always pushing the envelope regarding the rules. The Competition administrators must dread every Monday dealing with complaints from opposition clubs.

Yup, certainly were. Blighty came on and took 6 for 5 off 7 overs.

Interesting one in the LO comp on Saturday too.
MSCC forfeited their LO1s (who are 9th and can't make finals), and proceeded to gather wins in LO2 (2nd), LO3 (3rd), LO4 (5th) and LO5 (2nd).
Not only did they not pull players up to fill the LO1s, they even dropped guys down, who had played every game in LO1 to play in the other sides.

I just looked at their LO3 team, only one player was in that from their LO1's, I found it amusing that there were 7 Singh's in the team.

Nightmare for the scorer's table!

"Bowler's name!"

I once played a team with nine Abdullas in the batting line-up.

Smithfield's 1921 premiership side had 11 Smith's in it.

[Dogwatcher]

I'd heard about that. It's how Smithfield got its name, isn't it?
A topographical surveyor down from the city had stopped by to gazette the town. Looking across from his accommodation at the local watering hole, he saw a game of cricket on and thought he'd go watch. Upon arrival at the ground he found the home side had lost the toss and was having a bowl.
The cry of "bowler's name" was met by "Smith" at every bowling change.
At some point in the innings, and having enjoyed some refreshments to keep him cool on a hot Adelaide Plains day, a realisation dawned upon him.
The team was full of Smiths and they're all in the field.
Looking across to the nearest person he slurred, "that'd make a great name for this place".
And so it was, that the name Smithfield came into being.

Maybe young Bartholomew Smith the third banged his first maiden in the field across from the saloon.

The creek known as the Elephant Walk that runs from Craigmore to Andrews Farm is actually Smith Creek.

Going back 30 years ago it was Smithfield East on the other side of Main North Road and Andrews Farm was initially called Smithfield West.

Are you saying young Bart ploughed a furrow in that there field?

Anyway, this is entirely off topic. Sorry, ATCA fans.

Anyone know what happened in the Pooraka Vs Modbury T20 last night?
A few of the Pooraka boys are spitting chips about it on facebook.

Modbury won but should've been deducted 6 runs for a slow over rate which would've seen Pooraka win.
Only info passed on via someone that was there.

I did notice Pooraka's favourite umpire was officiating too LOL

[Trader]

Probably a fair complaint then. The bylaws are fairly clear its a 6 run penalty if you don't bowl your overs in time.

[Tony Clifton]

Who'd want to win a game like that though?

There are often delays during games and umpires make allowances for over rates.

Non-issue. Suck it up Pooraka. Have won plenty of games over the last few years.

True, only 1 into the Cs, but one is more than enough. Even if it was 0 they have broken the bylaws.
Interesting to see they still haven't listed the sides that played in their Bs and Ds. I wonder what they are trying to hide......

Disgusting from the turf that they haven't overturned these results.

I'm sure they will, it's a disgrace if they don't.

Yet another choke.
Was only talking about Pooraka and their finals departures and GF loses last night.
Currently unbeaten in A1 this year too.
Some very nervous times coming up for the Bulls.
Before any Bulls players speak up and say " At least we you there " well if you get there you may as well win.
