dont see the point of playing this side, surely the committee can see the trouble this is going to cause down the track.
get all the other teams captains in and put in a protest other wise you will have teams playing short due to not wanting to play against this side ?.. just an outside view guys. but they cant be allowed to get away with it otherwise it may affect the finals for teams that deserve to be there. IMO.

Side or club....and on what grounds?

the clubs should express their concern and point out the decision made and its implications

I suppose the grounds could be the PDCA stupidity

Surely they cant field a 'b' grade if they cant get 11 blokes on the park in their 'a' grade.

They should be forced to field a side in Div3 and then forfiet the 'b' grade side.

My sentiments precisely, I was asking Smasha from an outsiders point of view, I was wondering whether he meant the club or that side.

message to PDCA - Hello...McFly

No wonder more and more sides are looking to leave PDCA.

Will be interesting to see how many grades PDCA will fill in 2011/2012 especially considering Brahma are already moving a few teams across to turf. Also heard Riverside will be playing in the Barossa comp next year and Playford will more than likely be folding at the end of this year.

[OKC!]

Just quietly... Browny25 played in a T20 for Gepps Cross on Tuesday night....Game in the balance... last 4 overs.. First ball... caught behind, bring in the tail.. game over.

What a machine.

Look at you...got the average into double figures and its open season? You have changed okc

I don't even know what your trying to do here? You giving me crap for saying browny did well or what???

[Papas]

What about the other point of view not really fair fielding a grade 3 side with half grade 8 players?? It would be a wasleys second XI

Shouldn't hit blokes, then you wouldn't have to deal with it.

my mate captains wasleys, and yes they are struggling with results, but there having a go, so need to bag em champ

That's not even a valid argument, you field your highest grade side first.

[Papas]

I'm happy for your mate tell him well done from me. LM I am saying that it's not fair either way they should be told to fold either way they are bit helping the clubs image. Smashing grade 8 or getting smashed grade 3

getting smashed in grade 3 and only 11 blokes from their club are effected in a bad way. Smashing teams in grade 8 and 77 other cricketers who had nothing to do with the incident are been effected.

Well if they had 7 players unavailable for a wedding in their A's they can't forfeit their grade 3 and play their grade 8, players shouldn't be pigeon-holed to teams, there should be an up and down performance based player movement within the club. That has been a major problem at Playford for years, they asked about merging with us and going into a grade 4 but we couldn't take their players if they were performing for our B's, it just doesn't work like that, it has killed Elizabeth East just about and it cripples clubs.

An e-mail I recieved from the PDCA is that they have withdrawn their Grade 3 side. I see it as the demise of the Playford C.C now, this is sad as there is some great blokes out there and some people have worked their arses off to make it a good place to play cricket.
I know I used to stop in on my way from work for a quick beer and chat while I was on my way to my own practice if they were out at the time I was passing through.

Very valid point. In my time at Playford you were either an 'A Grade' player or you were a 'B Grade' player. Then there was 1-2 blokes in the 'B Grade' who were virtually the 12th and 13th man for the A Grade, if someone was out from the A's for what ever reason those next two in order were the next blokes into the A Grade regardless of form and even if that meant they batted at 11 and didnt bowl.

For example the year i played the first bloke into the A Grade if someone was missing batted around 10-11 in the b's and very occasionally bowled BUT he was a super keen fielder and didnt mind playing A Grade so would bat 11 and never bowl.

Dont get me wrong though i enjoyed the 2 years i played at Playford and we won lots of game but it is definatly a social club with a cricket team on the side.

If that is the case then those players that have played majority of A Grade should not be able to play in their B Grade - Also I dont know how the PDCA lets a club pull out its highest team - once again you would think they would pull the B Grade side or be made to

PDCA can talk it up all they like - they have simply got this wrong

My understanding was the Playford CC was on the way out at the end of the year regardless not enough people willing to put in the hard yards to run a club like the Mick Curry, Donga's, Sharkus, Cracker, Mick Debaur etc etc did for many years there. Without them the club would have folded a long time ago.

Will be interesting to see what rules are put inplace as to who can play in their Grade 8 side for the rest of the year. For example Bulldogs2004 has played a few games in both sides this year so there shouldnt be a problem with him going back in the Grade 8 side, but what about a bloke like Skelland who captained the A's all year, wasnt suspended (fairly as well) but hasnt played any grade 8 games.

simple fact is - if you pull out a side it has to be your lowest ranked side or made to be - not exactly brain surgery

totally agree with you,

but obviously the PDCA have f**ked up again and are letting them pull their grade 3 side out.

Surely they cant be allowed to play all their registered players in their grade 8 side especially once a few start coming back from suspension. Their grade 3 team was very competitive especially if they could have got their full strength side out on the park more often.
