aDid anyone have a game in the 20/20 matches on the weekend. I saw that Walkies oval was vandilised on Saturday night and the game posponed til next Sunday

I wonder if it was the same tool that damaged a number of wickets last year at venues that Walkerville were playing at. Generally this was done in there favour until finals time and they cost them any chance of an Outright win on the Sunday.

having played in the semi finial, they had no chance of an outright anyway.

But it is pretty poor effort turning up and seeing a hole in the pitch. Really makes you start to wounder why waste the effort to play the game if idiots are going to spoil it

Anyone want a go at tipping the final four in A1 and A2's?

For me its Pultney, Pembroke, Rechabites and Grange in the A1's (and Pultney to win with Ritossa and Cunningham to dominate the finals)

In the A2's I think Woodville South, Payneham, Modbury and PAOC (as a roughy). I think Woodville is the team to beat. Goodwood (formerly RCP) are stiff to miss out, but they rely too heavily on the Martin brothers and I think this will tell at the end of the season.

The Farmers are more than a Graeme Yates show. Scotty Alfred, Burgey and Cheesy and Goves are top notch bats, while Butchy and Cochrane are solid with the ball. Stevenson ( a new player, a pom, nonetheless) looks to be a gun player, while Steve Daniels is a top-3 player at the club, Lisky is looking like the champion he always has been. Now it's all just gotta come together for us to play in the Premier Grade where we belong.

I see that Watson made another ton for Concordia. He's having a useful season with the bat with 3 tons and a 50 in the openings rounds. All they need is a couple of decent players and they could win A2

He will need to keep scoring like that though. They really have no other batting available. A good and honest (but not particularly penetrating) bowling attack.

Batsmen get you to the finals... Bowlers win them... Concordia would be a good roughy though...

Well after having the week of and watching the poms choke, am keen to get back out there this week, not so keen on the weather forecast though.

Good luck to every one aprt from those we are playing.

And now, we're looking at a washout - uncovered wickets anyway.
So, the season to date:
round 1: no game due to ATCA incompetence
round 2: play
round 3: play
round 4: play
round 5: play
round 6: play.
round 7: opp. forfeit.
test match
round 8: too hot
round 9: play
round 10: wash out??

6 weekends of cricket in 11.

terrible.

nice edit and spot on.

ps there's something about cricketers and punting. i've played a few other sports over the years and punting is nowhere near as rife in those sports as in cricket.

yeah love washed out days especially in october and spring carnival.
But yes cricket and punting do go hand in hand, probably due to the good races around spring/summer compared
to winter sports.

walkies vs shoc didnt go ahead. Wicket wasnt even prepared! Always looks dodgy when the home side are in the poop on the second day and they "forget" to turn the sprinklers off and every other game gets on!
