I think BB summed it up pretty good.

I think the top two teams at the moment would be favourites to play off in the GF.

But any of the other 4 teams could make the finals and as we all know finals are different and it would not surprise if one of the teams finishing 3rd or 4th win the GF.

I guess if these blokes were so good from rosepark they wouldnt be on the bottom?

Well there not bottom, they are 4th.

How did you go Bubbula?

We lost with 8 players.. But with 8 players we'd thrash your b grade..

No mate, you are at the moment the worst team in the league. Bottom of Div 5. Anyway i meant scores. How did you go personally?

4 ball duck and 1/46.. no way man!!! Any div 5 team would beat your b grade

Pretty harsh comment mate, unfortunately you cant say stuff like that when you have no hard evidence that it is true, especially in your position where you havent won a game all season. Fitzroy arent the greatest but they are improving and they do have some guys who will be good in years to come, a few of them i think would handle div 5 with ease to be honest.

Maybe we need to tee up a game...

[Phantom Gossiper]

rumour is SACCA might have another umpire for next season lined up already...

Gday phantom, thought wed lost ya. Another umpire would be sweeeeeeet.

Some suprising results in Div 1, shock was Paralowie losing to Rose Park! great effort there

Yeah. Makes things very interesting. Not a great deal between postions 4 and 6.

After this round results may not be a great deal between 3 and 6.

The game between Rose Park and Fitzies after chrissy becomes a huge one now, if fitzroy lose they will be 2 games behind 5th. If they win they will be pushing on the top4 and finals. Hopefully we can field a decent side. In regards to u21 i think we would have somewhere between 2 and 5 players interested and capable, and maybe a support staff or two. In regards to never stopping learning about cricket i agree, just that the older you are the smaller the learning curve is. Someone like pidge(18) could play, train and learn about cricket every day of the week.

Anyone heard anything about the Under 21 Association team?

G'day young Pidgey! I will be discussing the possibility of fielding an U21 side in the final round of the CUSA Cup with the Association Exec., probably more seriously after the National Champs. I'll have a chat to Tige (The Prez) when we're away in Melbourne and see what he reckons. At the start of the CUSA Cup, we were asked whether we wanted to field an U21's side, and to be brutally honest, we had not seen much interest at all at a representative level from many in that age group, so we opted against it. We also had the National Champs to focus on as a priority. I am not sure whether CUSA will allow us to field an under 21 side if we advised that we would not have one. That is something we need to clarify.

And as you can appreciate, half the battle is trying to get people to volunteer their time to look after the side - coach, score, manager etc.. As the Nat Champs will already be over, I am happy to put my hand up to coach the side if there is enough interest and we can field a side. I might even take Mr Gossiper up on his offer of providing assistance in running the team..

In the meantime, do some networking amongst the young fella's and see what you can muster up and find out who's keen..

As for young Josh Baker, he is an excellent young cricketer with a great work ethic and a willingness to learn and improve. It's great to see him reaping the successes he is at present. At the same time, it's important to carefully manage his workload on a growing body, especially on the bowling front..

On the subject of training, it is absolutely necessary. Yes, some blokes can just pick up a bat or a ball and get it done, but it would take an exceptional player to keep performing without some form of decent practice. Where would you first practice a 'change-up' ball?? How would you sort out some minor deficiency that is having a major impact on your performances?? Where would you hone the basics to build your game from?? And if you think you can't learn anymore, you're either not going to improve or it's time to give the game away. Just my two bob's worth..

Sounds good. I think that we have about 3 to 5 people that would be interested in playing. Hopefully we can get a game teed up.
