Most embrassing thing would be Earp selecting Props 2 beat Rizdonz. How old are alot of the plum boys? A side like that could stick 2gether for years?On review of teams so far. I think the Plum boys will improve more, the more cricket they play. Solid bowling attack. May need a bit more concentration in the field. ALso need one more quality batsmen. Sollies - we are short on numbers. Are A grade has a great platform for a really strong team over the next years. Just need a middle order batsman with experience to hold innings together or finish match off. Bowling stocks are good, younger players are developing well. B grade has shown with numbers we should of made finals. Just losing key players 2 shift work and covering A grade has cost us. Have not seen enough A grade games this year, but it looks like Props are heading in the right direction 2 win this year. Have only seen acouple of their B grade games this year and alot has been sed about this young developing side(Mostly Uncle Earp). But im sorry dont really c any talent in this side. Except for Bessen and Corey stevens. Yep i hear linch mob coming 2 get me, but i can not recall any outstanding results from these boys. They are only playing because the hollywood boys are attending music concerts. Look I am a big supporter of juniors but i think giving people slaps on the back or accolades will not help with development. Bats keeping getting the job done and South port keep whipping sides. These 2 will play off in finals except unless one team has a melt down. Maybe a certain team who relies on 2 few!? Tiger boys are around the mark like always, abit like pakistan with controversie following them everywhere. They will only make up final numbers this year. Fluffs Sharks will contiue 2 grow and develop. If Risdon A grade fold next year, Sharks could become favourites 2013/14 season. The Rams seem 2 just be getting the job done. No real stars in line up. Just a good old fashion mix of youth and experience. I cant wait 2 hear the hate mail come in!

Fair analysis cheet-

Props b grade, aside from wes wyatt, so lack any standout talent
Plums- we have 2 decent batters in the wings, getting them
On pitch is hard work and fielding definately needs work
Cats have the ability for sure at full strength
Sharks are developing well
Wandies keep winning
South port are hard- we wallopped them with only carroll missing, but they look solid
Bats- bat to 11 and have 10 bowlers
Risdonz will be a toughy- 3 finals in a row and r ready

Hmmm seems good times

Good to see a few different views about different clubs. All seems to be good positive feed back, which can't be a bad thing? Young cricketers find it alot easier to play good cricket in a good side then a poor side.
I don't see much A grade on this site, why is that?

Welcome to the World Cup

[Squids]

Will Sollies have a B grade next year?
Will Risdonz have an A grade next year?

Will Port Germein have home games in Port Germein next year?
Will Warnertown have home games in Warnertown next year?

[Run Machine]

Can't call what Risdon dished up this year an A grade side. They would not make the 4 in B grade. Sounds good about road trips to Port Germein and Warnertown. But i think we might be dreaming.

The way they play I think B grade would suit them.

[Lionsfourth]

What about this idea for a shorter season. Top 4 stay in B Grade, bottom 4 form C Grade. Four rounds (12 weeks) per grade then finals. Bottom 2 B grade relegated and top 2 C grade promoted the following year. This would leave plenty of spare rounds to start a 20 20 style comp.

Does anyone know if Sollies have a team tomorrow?

usually they call the other team on Friday if they don't

This sounds like a good idea. It's a massive season of 21 games with no time off over Christmas. Only problem with 20/20 is limited game time for some players.

plenty of players already get limited game time. Adapted rules around bowlers max overs would help. Maybe 3 max. If the 20 20 comp was at the start it would give the teams opportunity to actually try their entire squad in different roles before the season proper.

[Squids]

Don't need to change the rules, there are options for times to give different players a go. Its up to the captains of the team to give people a go. If some teams want to bat the same top 4 bowlers and batters each week and you aren't getting a go then you can always change to club that gives people a go. It is only world cup cricket, plenty of opportunities to give people a go earlier in the year, especially with a 21 week season. Finals time is where you try and play your best team where you should of given people an opportunity to prove them self throughout the year.

I reckon out of our squad this season most of the team have tried opening the batting....now that the season is over (finals wise) it's a good time to try a few things.

[Squids]

I can think of seven Risdonz that have opened the batting, there might be more. That would be more than most other teams I think.

[SFR85]

Yeah we've had Hanslow, Ando, Lenny, Roger, Kev, Smith, Conradi.

[Lionsfourth]

Ok obviously using the 21 games as a reason against that idea means tunes have changed about everyone complaining how long the season is. Never bothered me, I'd play cricket with a broken leg in a hail storm. Squids your point is right about the season being long enough for teams to sort their squad out.

[cheetah]

Yeah we've had Hanslow, Ando, Lenny, Roger, Kev, Smith, Conradi.

A handy batting attack, that could be around for several more seasons. What about trezie? I think he has such a correct technique. Have Conradi open as well and you have a solid left/right hand combo. Hanslow probobly your best all round bat in regards 2 attack and defence 2 bat at 3. Food for thought!

Trezise is ideal at 3. Especially if early wicket falls. Hanslow has all the talent in the world, just his passion holds him back at times.

No morning game at Complex 1?
