What's everyone's thoughts of the bonus point, did it come into play much on the weekend, was everyone aware of it? I think it's a great idea, it stops teams batting first when they know they are going to flog the opposition.

2 of our captains were in positions to get bonus points but weren't aware of the rule untile I mentioned it to them. One of our sides did get the extra point.

Our C's (Grade 5) had a terrible day of it on saturday, after having a strong team at 12 noon, 3 late changes took our bowling line up apart. We got skittled cheaply, beaten easily and then one of our players suffered a stroke as we were coming off of the oval, he's still in intensive care at the RAH. Our thoughts are with him and his family hoping he can make a full recovery. He is a good club-person who is always the first one to put his hand up to help, pretty devastating at 34.

Sorry to hear that news mate hope the guy is ok . Keep us posted

I went to see him today, not good, still in intensive care, wont be out before xmas, has a few young ones too.

Sorry to hear. Hope he gets well soon !

i was aware of it but to tell you the truth i didnt think of it at all on sat, even when we were 2 for 120 all i was thinking about was 50 runs with so many overs in hand.. ratters.. still has back issues.. i think its a great idea for the same reasons.. what do people think about a free hit for front foot no ball? i think that would make it a bit more exciting..

never see to many people have issues when wickets are falling or when hundreds are made, its usualy when getting spanked or getting out for a duck.. ratters is a gun cricketer as he proved on sat.. but when its not going well he seems to short arm it..doesnt mean we cant have a beer and a laugh after the game.. he gives it and takes it..

From what i understand our c grade would have picked up bonus points, their game didnt last 40 overs, they past the oppositions total in about the 13 over i think. Therefore i reckon its a great idea to introduce the bonus point this year.

I think that they are both smart enough to realize that you can't complain about facts. Westies need to lose a game though at some stage before the finals.

even when they have been 6 for 60 they have won, they always find a way of wining..
they just need to start getting some reward for the effort put in by them all during the year..

I'm happy to take my 4 A grade flags and run mate

I'll still defend my boys though and say once again they've lost players and continued to play good cricket. Lost their captain....again

And you blokes add Darren Ellis.... Hmmm Me thinks you are trying to deflect the attention Benny. You are a smart man

def have lost a few games that we shouldnt of and there is prob some teams that won games they shouldnt of... i hope its just a case of getting the bad ones out the way now..
i am still confident we can go all the way.. will be a good test for us..
does any turf teams have covers these days? or do they only cover the main pitch?

We have covers, as do a few others. But with the constant rain the wickets woudn't be prepared. One day games next week.
