I rate gawler central as a dangerous side, they have a team that can be quite dangerous. It was interesting to hear kingy say earlier in the year that his side lacked discipline and professionalism and was something he was trying to change at the club. It probably doesnt help losing brading out of their bowling line up from last year.

Might just be the smartest thing you've said on here jim05... They certainly aren't a BIG club in the Barossa and light league.. May have played in 2 or 3 finals serious since coming into the league.. Always been dangerous but you could make an argument that every side in the league is capable of being dangerous, as every team have atleast one or two batsmen that could make quick runs.

To be completely honest on G/C I think that they have a good squad there, I think there bowling attack is actually pretty good.. They have two young lads who are right and left arm seam bowlers with reasonable wheels but I was there Saturday watching and there was just no direction for the young bowlers... The only piece of advice I heard come from a senior gawler central player was for one of the quicks to continue bowling short at Angastons young Tom Adler.. This is not going to do the lad any favours and won't learn too much just bowling short. So you have those two yound lads throw in king who always bowls tight lines and stock with his Anal Kumble type spinners and they have a reasonable attack, but there biggest problem on sat is they sooked, maybe captain King should add attitude to the list of things to improve aswel...

What a barnstorming revelation....there is an attitude problem at Gawler Centrals,
I love the part where Kingy says HE will be the one to ride in on the white horse and sort it out,
How will he find time to discuss the problem when so much of it will be dedicated to talking about himself.

Interesting time for the panthers captain Brett Burgess this week. Will need to make some tough calls with the experience of Brandon Kurtz, Mathew Doecke, Tim Herrmann along with youngsters Nick Pech and Matthew Blenkiron all available could be a long Thursday night at the selection table. With most of the batsmen getting a score we may see our Magoos this week with a few old heads batting in the top order.

[Stewie Griffin]

What has Kurtz done ever? chuck him in the 2's.
And Doecker hasn't made runs since the late 90's.
Chuck them both in the 2's.

[Jim05]

Doesnt get any easier for centrals either with their depleted side travelling to the cocky cage this week.
Intetesting to see how many tigers are at the skippers buck show this week and wedding next week

Yeah could be interesting to see how many players they need to bring up to fill the side due to the captains bucks/wedding. Also heard Crothers spat the dummy on Saturday. Only bowled 7 or 8 overs out of 93 and when asked to bowl after the panthers had won he said he couldn't be f**k*d. Also was heard saying that he won't be playing again. Be interesting to see if he rocks up at Sandy this week.

A hack at best

sorry boys I'm a little confused, isn't Kurtz involved in the T20 competition in town in January for Port Adelaide?? Surely with those credentials he wouldn't play two's... That's what kurtz has done stewie.. Good effort at his age..

[Stewie Griffin]

What is he now......70?
He is even older than Ben Burgess, and he is mid 60's surely.

I went and watched the Ango boys put on a batting display today against Centrals at the dog track. The old stag Benny Burgess compiled a well timed 70 odd to guide the boys home with great support from Shaun Woodards (48) and young Tommy Adler (46). Both boys unlucky not to go on and reach 50. Shaun was run out unluckily but he would have easily made it if he didn't stop to do 20 push ups and 15 bicep curls during the run. The boys were looking at a 250 total for the day with about 20 overs to go when S.T. Koch was summoned to the middle and the bid fella produced a vintage display finishing with 65no including 5 big 6's and took the total score to 340 only 8 wickets down. Good effort boys and was a good day to sit back with 1 or 2 quiet ones and enjoy a day of cricket in the sunshine

ST Koch, one of the best cow corner hitters we've seen.
Was eavesdropping on a conversation at the Brauhaus last night.
There were two cricketers discussing their ideal BL&G team of the decade on the back of a beer coaster.
Were a few heated selection dilemmas, such as Klemm or Burgess Jnr.
They couldn't decide on Burgess or Reid for the keeper/allrounder spot.
Picked up the beer coaster when they left:
M Johnson
C Reimann
JR Mosey
B Wall
G Stevens
ST Koch
B Burgess or A Reid
R Johnson
D Doecke
B Burgess Jnr
Couldn't find the other beer coaster with the other bowlers.

Who's this Read bloke!!!! Never heard of him

Reid was one of the finer gloveman in the early to mid 2000's, before "i think" crossing to Freeling.

Still would back Burgess as the better gloveman back in the late 1990's, early 2000's. He did have to keep to a bloke named Craig Harvey and harves didn't know where he was going to bowl the ball let alone the poor bloke behind the stumps

[Stewie Griffin]

Burgess would definitely be the better looking gloveman,
In the late 90's anyway.
Harves can't of been that hard to keep to, a bouncer every ball, where's the surprise there?

Think he used to wear steel caps when he bowled.

From the one that still came through head height but didn't bounce

Young harves was known to let a few of those go in his bowling days. Still remember him having batsmen jumping around, I hate too imagine how good he would have been if he could only get the ball to bounce on the batsmens end of the pitch. His bowling days unfortunately were cut short, apparently I heard that he was told by doctors to stop bowling or he will need to amputate his toes due to the constant bruising.

[daysofourlives]

Busy day at work hey fellas

[Catdog]

Chuck them both in the 2's.

With Kurtz averaging only 2 in the A1's this season, maybe he should look at heading back to A4's to get a bit of form back.

[Stewie Griffin]

From memory it was a delicately edged ball through 4th slip that led to those runs,
does Ango have an A7's, he might be better suited there.
He still fields like a young Clive Lloyd though, or for that matter an old Clive Lloyd.
