what is the qualy for the one day comps

it couldnt be 4 games when there are 21 games could it

I will wait yourresponse before i start to tee off

You better head down the range mate because I'm pretty sure it is. yep, just checked.

PDCA Executive are a joke - how can they let this be
we might need to search for some more players to qualify so we can compete with TTG District sides

seriously though 4 games out of 21 is a tad strange and should be fixed up even though it wont make a difference to me next year

I thought the 2 new sides (TTG & Bangladesh) supplied a list of players before the season or AGM to the PDCA that were going to play in these sides so they couldnt stack their sides.
I maybe wrong but pretty sure they had to supply these players names before the vote was taken to let them enter teams into PDCA, I am sure someone will know for sure.

Are these players on the list?

I also thought the PDCA had a ruling on district players coming back to play in PDCA?

Riverside need harris, edge and their opening bowler to stand out with big games.
units are the same with ritzema,vandalands and their opening partnership if these guys get going your in trouble!
craigmore need howe and ongley to get going to be a chance

I would think Howe and Gav from Craigmore (no surprises), Harris and McMullen from Riverside, The Nuske brothers and Dave Ritzema from the Units and for the Lodge Salter, Fry and McKee would be the keys. Out of all those teams Riverside would be the most dangerous if all goes well for them, they have some clean hitters but their tail falls away pretty quick. Woulda backed us in to beat them on the W/E if Nelson took the return catch off Harris for a globe.

Oops!

Very costly, cant afford to drop him as he will just tee off. Very clean striker.

Just to clarify, wasnt blaming Luke for the loss, more pointing to the chances that are presented and the importance of taking them. We didnt help ourselves, dropping about 5, 3-4 of the were crucial.

Luke Harris hit them so well, it was great to watch. Didn't miss hit anything, except the one he popped back. He will be their X factor.

Didnt take it as you were. Definately need to take any chance he offers though.

There are rules regarding all those situations. It's all on the para districts site if you want a read.

Mate, if Nelson Mandela took that catch you guys probably would have been pushing for an outright! Thats how much their batting falls away. They only have 3 standouts in that side:- Mcmullen, Edge & Harris and IMO Harris is by far the most dangerous match winner of them all, actually the most dangerous in the comp!

Rosies: Not an overly impressive batting display last week in the absence of their captain, will need to be on top of their game to knock the West off, will we see Feltus steaming in??Disgusting display and lack of application, and it would appear a degree of complaceny. you can bet that will be slapped out of them quick smart ... not Feltus for the remainder of the season, doctors orders.
Westies: An important match for them, can consolidate top spot, seems more than likely to finish minor premiers regardless of this games result given that they play the Teachers at home in the final round. Would imagine that yes regardless of this weeks results will have the minor flag, the advantage of playing on a shoebox & having a very favourable run home
Pines: The only apparent threat to the top two teams, will be interseting to see how they fare against Rosies in round 14. Useless
Virginia: A win will cement 4th spot after an admirable loss to Rosies, they would've gained some confidence from that. Kudos to Virginia, really hit their straps past few games, have put up some very large totals as well as giving R&C a good scare last round.
Teachers: Gave their finals aspirations a fair slap with their shock loss to Wasleys, i think the horse has bolted. Useless
Two Wells A small glimmer of hope to polay finals, need a solid performance this week followed by an outright next match. Dont deserve to be there IMO, have had opportunities and haven't capitilised on them.
North: Need an outright for any sort of hope, could happen at home against Wasleys. No finals chance, Wasley might even be a sniff
Wasleys: A win for the PDCA last week, I think everyone except for Para Teachers was excited for the boys from Drovers Run. Awesome work by the lads at Wasleys getting that win, so good for them and the club, really happy for them!

I was trying to be a little diplomatic, you obviously have a better knowledge of the comp, I didn't seem too far off apart from your North Pines appraisal.

Current district players mate. That's the can of worms you open when you allow a club in affiliated with another association and allow them to play in the lowest grade. I've seen it before many times. St. Pauls came in to Grade 8 and belted teams senseless and still got to move up the grades in the prescribed manner.

OTH: These guys are digging deep into the cookie jar to get players on the park, it's good to see a few old stalwarts getting out there and helping the guys out, hopefully they get a much needed win with Danny posting a big score and taking some wickets.

Not sure whether Danny will play the remainder of the season. Had a bit of a spit last Saturday towards the end of OTH's ouright loss. Seemed from the sideline that he just simply gave up in the field and wasnt even bothering to jog after the ball. Think one of his team mates really ticked him off and Danny being Danny said he quit and that was that.....Maybe Fineleg2Fineleg can shed some more light on the matter as he is familiar with feuding with his own.

PS Nice write up LM.

Cheers mate, he did rock up and support the A's with some vocality.

When I first started playing senior cricket it was out at Pooraka in there hard wicket team. Was a similar set up to the TTG one now but I guess the major difference there was that no one out there wanted to play in the lowest PDCA grade when they could play turf. When we started we got smashed and never had any help from the turf senior sides. We were a starting point for Poorakas juniors to get a taste of senior cricket but never did we have an influx of senior players from the turf comp.

Well I wouldnt have thought that Peter Sleep, Stephen Pitt or Linhart wouldve been on that list

[whufc]

Peter Sleep?

the bloke is a 50 year old grandad, surely he has earnt the right to play a few one day matches in a low division if he wants at his age?

I agree, enjoy the experience and you may learn something from a guy who has played cricket at the highest level.

I had the privilidge of getting to meet Peter Sleep at a Central District pre match presidents lunch, got chatting about finger spinning me being a left arm tweaker, learnt more in the 20 minute chat i had with him than i have from all my junior coaches combined.

Even offered me the chance to go up to TTG training and just be a net bowler and he said he would be able to offer more advice.

Out of all those teams Riverside would be the most dangerous if all goes well for them, they have some clean hitters but their tail falls away pretty quick. Woulda backed us in to beat them on the W/E if Nelson took the return catch off Harris for a globe.

Would have helped massively! wickets like that need to be taken.. in saying that though we also dropped mcmullen early...
masha what ever team ur in ur a massive plus for the side!

[Browny25]

You should take him up on that!

I enjoyed batting against him because he bowled crap
I got a single off of him and said to our umpire - well thats the first run I have scored off an international bowler - Sleepy turned and said to me - will be your last as well - next ball I faced off of him I hit for 6 - Good Times
however he can still hold a bat but in Grade 8 running half way down the pitch trying to turn one's into two's like you would at a much higher level was a bit over the top

Grade 8 there should be a rule 6, 4 or 1 only
