Para Districts Cricket Association 2010-11

The question is.....will the best first year umpire winner be given predominantly all Grade 1 games next season ?

Hopefully he comes and umpires a team in turf

[Browny25]

Was speaking to a local umpire the other night "Alf Mathews" and i thought i would ask about the grade 1 para districts grand final his reply was that Rose & Crown were simply outplayed. After reading the scoreboard i had already gathered that however that wasn't the comment that interested me, He than went on to say that Rose & Crown were very sore losers. After reading a few posts on here im not sure he is far from the truth. He said a few of the Rose & Crown players had big mouths and even bigger ego's.

Sore losers? We shook hands and then got on it... Not sure either side would of hung around for a drink and to talk about the game.. We had a great night and prob a bigger one than the premiers did..
Sure there was controversy about the umpires but in all we were outplayed, i can see how a umpire would think we were sore losers, as they heard what we said about a few huge decisions that didnt go our way, but hey thats cricket..
Yes i was shattered about losing and should be, so im not going to suck up brahmas ass as there wouldnt be to many in the team i would hang around and drink with... I said well done to sibb for winning the medal, cause i meant it..im not going to say well done brahma for winning the gf...because i wouldnt mean it....
But good luck to them next season...

Well put...

I suppose down your way you would have plenty of disputes over spelling of words and authenticity of words, you'd need an umpire to avoid all the brawls that ensue..

I may of heard that once or twice in my time there, I thought about travelling up to Needle Park because of it .

With the season done and dusted and emotions should've settled by now, is there any constructive criticism that we can take on board to present to the PDCA at the AGM or before.
There's been enough carry-on during the season about certain matters but unless they get brought up at a meeting or AGM the song remains the same for another 12 months.
So far some things to consider are:
-Larger signage etc. on the back of shirts to entice sponsorship.
-30 metre circle for power-plays in one-dayers for Grade 1.
-Brahma Lodge's proposed gradings.
-Rules and conditions for the 1 day comp.
-Possible T20 comp.
-One-day premiers incorporated through the seaosn for Grade 1 (same as Barossa).

If there are any other "serious" proposals that should be brought up, let me know or your club delegate.
Remember this "The PDCA doesn't make the rules, the club delegates do, they just enforce them".
If you want changes, don't just send some squib along to the meetings to get your clubs name ticked off and avoid a fine, send someone with some drive and vision to bring changes to "our" comp.

But then people wouldn't have something to whinge about........

Personally would love to see the 2 day games and 1 games as seperate competitions with at least a GF for each format.

Imho this would help clubs with participation levels as teams would still be a chance of winning something for a larger part of the season.

Plus if we are playing two day GF's what does the 1 dayers really have to do with the season.

They are required to fit the prescribed amount of playing days into the season.

Fair enough,

personally i dont like how it affects the ladder so significantly and then in finals we play 2 dayers and even if 1 day in a final gets called off we still play 2 day rules on the second day.

Make the one day comps shorter
21 games is a bit of an overkill
Could be 14 start later and finish earlier
Also 1 team sides should be pushed up out of the one day comp

On the lodge they should be in 4, 7 & 8 as the c grade earnt the right to go up
I would imagine we will have 2 one day sides again as well

Should be 3 at least. They lost one game all year when they had a bunch of blokes out. As far as the association is concerned, that is their A grade we're talking about as there isn't going to be a team from there in a higher grade. They would be competitive in grade 3 even if they only stayed the same, but I expect the lodge would be pretty confident of snaring another couple of players for the turf season.

What about going to 6 team grades? Althouth I'm not sure what the finals format would be, perhaps 2v3 semi with minor premier going straight through or something. I'm not a fan of bringing in T20 matches but 6 team grades would let you play a 2 day game, 1 day game and a T20 game against each opponent without making the season any longer (would be a week less in fact).

Another thing that I know has been spoken about in the past is bringing in A1, A2, A3 etc. Let the A grade sides play against A grade side. Then B grade sides can play against other B grade sides. You could even look at playing double and triple headers with a club's A grade sides battling it out on one ground, B grade at another and so on similar to the way footy works.

No T20's counting toward premiership points....yuck !

And no to having the one day games as a competition within a competition.

6 team comp would be ideal, they would need 1 complete season's notice first though. I've been a big advocate for the reserves thing, even though Westies would be light years ahead, would still have B grade palying B grade.

Belated message, But congrats to Rosies on a Great year. Central United will be better for the run and were unfortunate to walk into a bowling display like they did. The Units have some wonderful young lads in the side and in 5 or so years could be a real Powerhouse with good depth in the twos. As for Brahma Lodge, How good is it to go Grade 1 & 2. A lot of very happy people around the club, as for the "no Sibbick, no Brahma" claims, I think with opportunity lads will thrive and Brahma will have many more contributors. But he is basicaly Superman and it is going to take 6 blokes to step up to fill the void that will one day be left by him. Lets hope that is not for a few years yet.

To all Grade 1 & 2 teams next year, may the Injuries hold off and the form find its way into your game. Confidence is only one hit away and with confidence anything can be achieved.

Best of luck all.
