Sib took the catch of the season today... One hander on the fence.

Prob 6 on any other ground?

Not at Virginia either

Yeah but they dont change the boundary depending on who they are playing...or half way through a season..

Played against S.West in grade 5 yesterday and must say that the captain and the older fella that batted at 3 are both complete W**K**S on the field! dont know either of them off the field and have heard they are both ok blokes - but white line fever must get the better of them coz there were 2 or 3 incidents during play yesterday where both of them acted like 3 year old girls. was an absolute joke and a shame for S.W as the other 9 players seem like a great bunch of blokes! Dont know how a club chooses a bloke to captain when his own team mates were bagging him out and saying how much of a tool he is

That wouldnt be Blondie and JC would it? If so, they been round a long time and play hard, but they will always shake yr hand at the end of the game.

Should tell duck mann how much they've mellowed over the last 5 years or so. Lol.

couldnt care less how much they've mellowed over the last 5 years or so... dont care if they were just having a 'bad day'.... act like a W*NK*R and I'll call you a W*NK*R!

In 10 years of cricket Ive never met two guys that know how to ruin a game with such ease...

more to the point duckman would be who hasnt had a run in with JC played against him for 2 seasons so i know what you mean lol

[howzat]

Ah, so now I know why you needed to go over to him and continue the conversation and hold up the game. After the game is the more appropriate time to say things like that. If you really were wanting to help him out if he played higher, you didn't need to tell him right then and there, did you? The guy at square leg was the one who was ready to get on with the game, so don't try to tell me it was him who was going on about it when you were the one not ready to continue the game.

Geez Graham, if you posted everytime Blondie or JC got into some contraversy this website would go into meltdown, they are both good blokes but they intentionally bait hotheads from the opposition, it's alright from your side of the fence, you don't have to listen to it, it can get pretty annoying for the untrained.
Broca, look, laugh and let them know two can play at that game, cricket's meant to be enjoyable, don't let others ruin your day.

I remember when I was a young bloke of 15 playing Gd 1, giving 2 close run outs from square leg Not Out and Conole walked from deep mid on to tell me I was a f#$@*@ cheat and get off the ground

Those were the days

I started playing with him at age 14 and there were some interesting times. When all is said and done he has given wonderful service to the club as a player as he was an absolute gun.....and he's one of the best club men you'll ever come across.

[Goat Herder]

Haha! Good ol' Johnny Con-hole!

Certainly used to 'spice up' the ol' SW vs PV clashes in the mid-90's..

[OKC!]

Anyone know the Virginia vs PG Score?

[Grahaml]

PG made 9/204

[OKC!]

Both teams have to play on it so i dont know why people are complaining about the size...
there is no advantage by the size of the ground

[Grahaml]

The size and speed of the ground will always suit one side more than another, so you can't say there isn't an advantage to someone. But that's all part of the game. I do think though that a ground's dimensions should be the same all year if possible. Picking and choosing how big you make your ground each game isn't in the spirit of the game IMHO.

the speed of the ground has been the same all year.. (slow) and the only time the boundry changed was in the one dayers when it was made smaller so more runs were scored

Spot on...i dont think brahma have the same hitting power as the other 7 sides and would prefer to nudge the ball around so by making the boundary bigger suits them alot...and imo it took them till xmas to work this out... A good plan but surely the boundary has to be the same all year? If we meet in finals you might find its a 30 mtr hit to our boundary...providing we get a home final that is....

So the boundary was big in the first 4 2 dayers? Then you changed it for onedayers? i smell a pakistany behind all this...

I played there in my first game for OTH this year, and the boundaries were massive, all the way to the fence out the other side, and nearly all the way to the road on the other side.

They did say they changed it for the one dayers, then back out for the 2 dayers.

Why is this such a big deal. As long as the boundaries are the same size for both days/innings, then there shouldn't be a problem.

[dark & stormy]

if it isnt a big deal, then why move in or out in the first place? or do the stats need tweaking during one dayers?

I played a grand final for our C grade a few years ago against Salisbury North's A grade on their ground. We played the whole thing, right out to the fence. Not a cone or boundary marker in sight. Was a massive advantage for them, being all fit and fast with our guys being slow and a lot nearing 50. The same shot would get them 3 that got us 1.

All part of the game, but nobody can tell me it's not an advantage to one team most of the time. I certainly don't agree with changing the size of the ground for one dayers though. Perhaps Brahma thought an extra 100 runs throughout the 7 one dayers might be the difference between a home final and an away final?

that game ur talkin of OKC was at Brahma Lodges actual home ground. i think they only played the first couple of games there. and are now playin out at Greenwith coz of the turf pitch bein layed on there home ground. i think its the size of the boundaries at greenwith that people are talking about
