Enfield v Paralowie
Enfield

STUMPS DAY 1

Enfield 77
Mead 22 (batted for 30 overs)
M Frith 4/4 (7 overs)
S Rae 2/7 (6)
S Holland 2/21 (13)
B Norton 1/22 (9)
Paralowie 3/157
S Rae 45
S Holland 40
A Claxton 37*
A Frith 32

Would that be the first time ever that Paralowie won the toss and elected to bowl???

I cant remeber that ever happening before yesterday.

[bash4cash]

The 'bash4cash' is being postponed until February due to a lack of interest and the difficulty in filling the teams. Please pass this message on to anyone you know that had intended on coming along next sunday.... A new date will be advertised asap!

I have played in every grade in this association over a dozen or so years, yet I am still amazed by two things.

10 years ago bowling in shorts was not tolerated. In seasons past, players have been advised by opposing captains that they were not permitted to bowl until appropriately attired. Much agro followed of course, but this standard was upheld. Why is it that it is now tolerated? Div 1 is allocated apparently neutral umpires, so why is it now acceptable for players to not wear the appropriate clobber. All it should take is an Association directive (under the behaviour standard or whatever it is called) and for the umpires to uphold the ruling.

Div 1 has two obviously non-competative sides yet last year's Div 2 Premiers Magill-Morialta A are permitted to remain in Div 2. What does it take to have a fair distribution of teams amongst the grades? Or is it just one exec members desire to not play in Div 1? It should not matter. If you win the flag at any grade, you go up. Am I wrong?

Teaspoon of cement please and harden up.

And who are the 2 div 1 teams who are non competitive?

[Punk Rooster]

Rob O'Gorman fans are going to have be at St.Pauls college for the next 2 weeks, to watch him in Rose Lakes 'B' grade.

Besides Rob himself, who is the other 1?

No need, just whisper in his ear it's a grand final and he will go missing

as above

I do know one of my mates who was playing against Seaton on the weekend asked the umpire if the bowler was allowed to wear shorts.

The offical umpire said he is allowed to wear shorts in this comp. I find it a disgrace as i was told there was nearly a run out when a player hit the ball to a fielder and called yes to only stop after he realized the bloke in black trackie pants and a grey t shirt was actually a fielder.

what a heap of crap....
will tell you right now, that if a player from the oposing side is wearing shorts or black tracksuit pants I WILL NOT TAKE PART IN THIS DISGRACE..
dont care, yes I will be letting my side down by not playing but come on.......
it is cricket not a day at the frigging pub.
buy some cricket clothes or p*** off. in my younger days you couldnt even have markings on your shoes...what is going on with the guys running our comps ?
or are they worried that if the say something we would lose teams ? well the way it is going we are losing teams anyway....
or their too scared to come to div 1 . div 1 is not a hard comp in churches, there are some quality players but there is also alot of average ones aswell (yes I am one of the average ones) but loosing interest in playing churches due to the circus it is becoming. that is all for now.

[dark & stormy]

Smasha i was told Hendo asked the umpire after he had a nose to nose run in with there opening bowler if the bowler could wear shorts as he wasn't sure after coming back from turf. The umpire told him yes you can wear shorts in this comp. I believe there was a nice run in between the two.

[Oxygen Thief]

Which umpire says its ok to wear shorts？ it is a discrace but its also up to your team captain to put in a match report and officially tell the exec.
just went through our bylaws and it says nothing about dress, these bylaws are an addition to the standard laws of cricket which is quite clear on what u have to wear

my understanding was , if you are in shorts or anything else that wasnt cricket attire you had to be behind the batsmen.
ie, fine leg or slips........so to be able to bowl in shorts is crap.......

[dark & stormy]

and as I said , I will not take part in this s***, if the umpire says it is ok , well then he is a bigger idiot to allow it.
maybe I might play in thongs or boardies.....pfft...grow up ya w*****s, it is cricket..........no ifs or buts..

Confusion re: fielder v umpire.
If every team submitted a match report every week this crap happens, maybe the exec may listen. C'mon everyone. Put those reports in.

[Oxygen Thief]

agree with everything you have said smasha. The umpires are getting decent $$ now so its up to them to inforce the rules of cricket, after all thats what they are getting paid for.
I wonder how many of the umpires have even read the bylaws.?
The one i always smile about is the wide rule. Its very easy to umpire this rule as it clearly states that any ball that is off the pitch once the ball passes the batsman is wide. How many umpires use their own descretion with this? You often see an umpire call wide to a ball that is well inside the pitch. I know its only a little thing and at the end of the day as long as the umpire calls it for both teams then its no big deal, but how many are aware that this is the rule?

mate, a little thing you say wides are a joke....or I should say some of the calls umpires make is shocking...
this coming from a bowler is hard to justify but like you said the rule is there in black and white......
we must be getting older OXY early on in cricket this stuff would not be tolerated and your club would be hit with a decent fine. bring back the better days of cricket and get rid of the blatant clubs that dont care if they play or not...
abide by the rules or go to soccer that should stir a few soccer fans

Memo to all vista players you are required to wear shorts in the upcoming one dayer against NEK ......... only jokes Smasha even though i am not playing still scared..

[spintwin]

I agree something needs to be done. Maybe if the seaton boys took the game more seriously and dressed in the right clothes. They might be ok. Maybe they should stop hiding their so called superstars in the lower divs. I think we might have another Enfield here. Lets see if any one puts a match report in. if you want something to change you have to fill in the match report.
