Grade Cricket

[daysofourlives]

I've been trying to figure out why only 2 games were allowed to get away. Doesnt that give unfair advantage?
There may be a perfectly good explanation.....i just cant find it.

Isn't the purpose of grade clubs to produce state cricketers? I would imagine if there is a wicket available it should be used to aid in the development of future state cricketers. I imagine this takes precedence over a fair grade competition.

A lot of covers at grade grounds are pretty basic. Cosmetic only!

Drove past Trinity College today - they'd got massive covers on wheels like in England. Schools have got better facilities than the grade competition.

Wow! Adam Rumbelow taking over next season. Will be pretty good you'd think. Has done well with their 17's and it's a young squad so he'd have already coached most of them.

Any looming retirements around the grade scene?

Think Rumbles will be awesome for the group. His success at Bank SA Under 17's over the last 7 years with 5 Premierships show what a great coach he is. Plus with the young list, he has coached about 37 of the Group in that time, so he knows all the players really well.

Why.
No rule saying you have to be sober to coach.

pr* ck of a bloke on the field and 0 respect for any bowler will no doubt instill some toughness into the younger blokes! The structure mentioned on the website and the people involved should work well for WT.

Adelaide's finals hopes dashed today you would think.

Heater, heard that your coach got the flick?

Heater, heard that your coach got the flick?

Worked for West Torrens - outright win yesterday!!

Heard lots of discontent at Adelaide, and he was being paid a fortune (and his Assistent as well?).

Amazing finish for A Grade coming up this year, East Torrens went from 7th to 1st place yesterday!

Yep interesting game with us and Sturt, 3 centuries including 183 but Tim Davey. Sturt played out for the draw and got it

Plenty of suprises left in this season I reckon!

Hoping our loss to Southerns during the PL week doesnt come back to bite us

Technically 9 teams still in the hunt. Might not be that many actually. Haven't really crunched the numbers.

1 East Torrens 107.5 (West Torrens, Prospect)
2 Woodville 102.5 (Glenelg, Tea Tree Gully)
3 Tea Tree Gully 102.5 (Port Adelaide, Woodville)
4 Sturt 97.5 (Southern District, West Torrens)
5 Kensington 97.5 (Northern Districts, Glenelg)
6 Northern Districts 92.5 (Kensington, Bye)
7 Port Adelaide 87.5 (Tea Tree Gully, Southern District)
8 Glenelg 82.5 (Woodville, Kensington)
9 Southern District 82.5 (Sturt, Port Adelaide)

I wonder if there will be any silly season outrights? Good thing about having a one dayer in the last round is they're not open to manipulation. A draw this round would be a killer blow.

Reckon East Torrens will go win-win and finish top.

The two Woodville games are massive - Glenelg, TTG.

Port could make things very interesting if they knock off TTG this week. Gullies win and you'd think they're safe.

Loser of Northerns and Kensington this round can kiss it goodbye.

I'd say Northerns are out of the race even with a first innings win this week.
An outright this game may give them a sniff.

Massive game for ET last minor round match.
I'm tipping a Pirate win .

Some interesting results on Saturday. Kensington (9/255) and Southerns (9/236) some reasonable totals against Northern Dist and Sturt. TTG 1/31 chasing 201 against Port. Glenelg 5/113 look shaky chasing Woodville's 221. Top placed East Torrens already 3 wickets down and still 20 runs behind, losing to bottom placed West Torrens - you would think there will be an outright result one way or another at that game, but West Torrens in the box seat.

My guess with a round and a half to go:

Tea Tree Gully and Woodville to play each other two weeks in a row (R13 for top spot and meet again in the Semi).
Kensington and East Torrens to play in the other Semi.
