Barossa & Light Cricket Association 2010-11

From my deck-chair in the snobby part of the oval I counted balls faced as well,
Kurtz faced the same amount as Burgess and made 25, some 63 runs less than Ben.
Hard-hitting from Kurtz UTP? I think a touch slow.
Burgess was in as fine a touch as I have witnessed and whilst Kurtz found some fluency,
I think he is not back to best by a long way.
Was a well structured innings by the Panthers though and look to be building nicely.

I think Billy "The Kid" Kurtz is building nicely for a big post xmas slaying of opening bowlers all around the Barossa

Mmm this forum is only half as slow as 2 weeks ago, lucky ango carried the can for the sa footy forum users this week

[Jim05]

Nah we are still here days. We are just sitting back watching the ango love fest
Im sure the lads will turn it around in the new year but its not the end of the world. Im sure most clubs would be happy to be sitting top in their first 3 grades at chrissy, and the 4's are around the mark aswell.
Watch out for a big second half of the year

[Stewie Griffin]

The Sandy Creek bandwagon looks a bunch more rickety with only 3 wheels,
Have been far from exceptional with the bat this year, if not for good bowling would be really struggling.
Could this be trouble for everyones 7th favourite team. (for 8th see Tanunda).

[Jim05]

Nah the wagon is just in for a routine service.
3 good players to slot back in after chrissy and some solid work on the track should see the machine kick into top gear in the new year.
Bit disappointed to be ranked 7th, gee what do we have to do to knock off Tanunda

Certainly a good start

[Stewie Griffin]

Recruit Hartigan, haha, love it, and then Stevens from Greenock and you will be 8th, 9th, 10th and everything below that.
Keeping Gav Werner on the books is important also.

Travelled the 8.5Km from my house to the Tanunda oval on Saturday to watch the Blues and the Maggies go head to head. Thought that I couldn't miss a top four clash plus the missus was away Christmas shopping so gave me plenty of time to sit on the decky with a beer or two and watch the game. Young Jobby Burgess finally came up trumps on a call and decided that Ango will have a bat (found out after the match that this is the 1st time the boys have batted 1st this year). Surprised to see the out of form Kurtz open up with the old man doecke but kurtz blew away the cobwebs and started looking really good with hard hitting and certainly looked on his way to a big score until old man doecke refused a run and left kurtz strandard in the middle of the deck for 25. Looked to me that Doecke was leaning on his walking frame and not backing up at all. Rathjen and Doecke then guided the Ango boys to be 1/70ish at the half way mark. Play resumed after drinks and the boys started a bit sluggish until Rathjen tried to up the tempo which cost him his wicket in the 24th over. Doecke left the middle not long after playing one back on for 40 which again was a good solid start from him. Then enter the dragon, this went from a cricket match to watching a Bruce Lee movie as Benny Burgess punnished and slayed the Tanunda attack to all parts of the ground. Talking to the big man Kocho he said he counted the balls Ben faced whilst scoring and apparently hit 88 of 46 balls and while all this was going on, up the other end young Nick Pech was also getting into the action and hit 34no at a run a ball. The boys finished of the innings 5/229, with 110 of these being scored in the final 10 overs. As the boys came out to bowl I thought that I couldn't see big Klemmy out there so I strolled around and asked about the big fella and apparently he pulled out Friday due to falling of his bike. I also heard it was his bucks night so looks a little fishy to me!!!! I still was confident but when Bretty Burgess snapped his rubber band only 2.5 overs into his opening spell I thought the boys were in big trouble. The boys persisted but Bo Wall and a tall bloke from Tanunda settled in and looked as if they were going to steal the game away from Ango until the Kochmeister was able to snare Bo Wall with a beautifully flighted off break that looked to cramp Bo up a bit and didn't get anywhere near the penetration on his shot and was caught in the deep. A real bit of masterful bowling to firstly beat the best batsmen in the comp with flight but then also just enough spin to cause the miss hit. After drinks Brett Burgess walked out with keeping pads on along with his brother and to my surprised they were swapping after each over so that Ben could have a trundle. In the end Brett continued to keep and Ben bowled and took 3 wickets and the boys were able to bowl Tanunda out for 190. Good win by the boys and looks as if the top four are almost settled as the bottom sides are now 3 games away from fourth spot. Need a few upsets and results going certain ways to change the four I think.

Have you seen much of the A2's this year UTP? I overheRD A CONVERSATION IN THE bRAUHAUS ON THE WEEKEND THAT j.pLUSH THINKS HE SHOULD BE IN THE a1"S IN PLACE OF KOCH SO I DID A BIT OF RESEARCH, HE HAS MADE 60 RUNS AT AVERAGE OF 12, IS THIS BLOKE SERIOUS OR WHAT? Hardly smashing the door down

[daysofourlives]

I'm guessing your thinking of Tim Hermann.

Don't think he's played a lot of cricket over the past decade, but was a regular in junior rep sides through the late eighties/early nineties.

Yeah it was Tim Herrmann he is still bowling as quick as he was 10 years ago and still thinks everything is out

Well with the half way mark of the season upon us what are everyones tips for the one and two day finals.
ONE DAY FINAL:
Angaston vs Nuriootpa
Angaston are in form in the one dayers and I think Sandy will have to pull out some big ones to knock off Nuri, especially in the batting department
TWO DAY FINAL:
Sandy Creek vs Nuriootpa
Will be a rematch of last years GF and will be a cracker, hopefully the result goes the other way this time. Again Sandy needs some solid improvement in all departments to get there which im sure will happen. The little break has come at the right time with a majority of the boys refreshed and ready to go
