i just thought that the guys from Ingle farm would of new who i was being that i played there for more than 10 years but have gone into retirement.... guess they dont teach the new recruits how to respect the older former players, which is very poor.....

i wonder who the club was that played this under age player..... i see no wrong in it

What is your example of these new recruits not respecting these older former players?

Look whats highlighted chump. You said it not anyone else!!!!

Once again the ATCA have released their playing dates for their twenty20 competition and once again they have scheduled one game on the same night of a Domestic KFC Big Bash night at Adelaide Oval on Jan 12th!!!!!
Why would the ATCA heirachy put one of their games for their comp on the same night as a Redbacks home game???

Its the SACA's biggest domestic money spinner and they only play three KFC twenty20 games at Adelaide Oval this season surely the ATCA would rather work in with the SACA than against them???

What are the other dates for the Competition this year? Can't find them on the Website as yet.

Ridiculous is playing cricket in 42 degree heat

That won't happen under the current heat laws so your point is, dare i say, pointless. As for the current heat laws and why they are ridiculous please refer to my earlier post and tell me what part you disagree with. Here it is:

It's ridiculous for a number of reasons. Forget the argument about whether or not play should proceed in extreme heat and consider the heat rules in place as they are and what they mean. For starters if it was 38C or under last on the Saturday just gone then A1-B3 would still have played 80 overs and C1-C3 would have played their usual 72. If the next week it is 41C then play proceeds as normal and all 80 overs are still played in A1-B3 and 72 in C1-C3. The part of the heat rule that reduces overs only applies if the extreme heat happens to be on day 1 of a match. Common sense and extra drinks breaks aare stressed as being very important in the case that extreme heat is encountered on day 2 of a match. Could the same not happen on day 1 of a match and the full quota of overs still go ahead? Perhaps common sense needed to be encouraged when the Turf came up with the new heat rules...

The second part that is flawed is the application of rules to prevent juniors from playing when it hits a certain temperature. My point is not whether or not play should proceed in extreme heat but what the turf is effectively suggesting is that a fit 17 year old kid playing high level cricket (for example A2 as has been alleged in an ealier post) is more at risk in the conditions than a 35 year old carrying 120kg's who sank 25 bourbons on the Friday night. An extreme example i know but who of us hasn't played with or agaisnt overweight people who get on the gas on a Friday night?

My point being having a having a heat policy is better than not having one even if it can be improved

Whether you agree or dis-agree with the policy is not the point. All ATCA clubs are covered by the policy and it is pretty clear - playing U17s in senior cricket when the heat policy has been activated is not permitted. Any clubs who get caught playing U17s when the heat policy has been activated deserve what they get from ATCA. All clubs had a chance to have input into the policy before the season.

Have noticed a few Hope Valley B graders in the runs lately, just wondering how close they are to promotion?

Thats a bit nasty azzaisbest. With some B graders making runs, it would be silly not to promote inform batsmen.

What grapevine have you been listening to? There is a strong possibility that it could happen. Just trying to convince Mike Whitney that it's a good deal.

So at para hills you would promote a B grader who has just hit one 50 into the A's , no questions asked???

yes some strage things do happen at HV. i believe last year out of form C grade batsmen were dropped to the B grade and vice versa with B graders making scored and being promoted to the C grade!
