Adelaide Hills Cricket (Hills, A&EH, TV)

[BCC]

bat pad is either silky himself or some1 coming up with an extremely average cover story.
i would also go as far to say that the red caps and baskets are better than happy valley, theyre average.

p.s having watched torrens valley and having played against all the players in the hill asoc. side its fair to say; had the hills boys stayed sobre at any stage of that weekend they would have won the meyer sheild easily. i know the hills lost day 1 comfortably to TV however i was far from convinced with t.v . something that also stood out is that every asoc's major run scorers (excluding the hills) just flashed the axe around - looked very sketchy. at least the likes of hunter, yuill, reid etc can play proper cricket strokes.

hahaha, what a laugh TVCA won by 9 wickets if I recall? Not bad for a sketchy bunch.

Give credit where it is due mate.

Yeah good joke this one!

How much evidence do you need to convince you otherwise. Most Myer Shield Wins including 3 of the last 5 in which they're won 12 out of their last 14 games. TV's leading run scorer Paul Collyer had one bat for the Carnival! , and I'd hardly call Jason King a Sketchy Batsman. While TV don't posses the quicks other comps have, Big Nick Johns who has made over 400 runs for the season was batting at 8 for the TV association team. Will be interesting this Sunday, when the Top 2 TV sides play the Top 2 Hills sides in the Courier Cup Semi Finals.

TV Round 11, Day 1 Results

Birdwood 126 (K.Whitcher 47, P.James 3/31, A.MacDonald 4/8) vs Kersbrook 3/30

Woodside 154 (B.Drewitt 44, T.Gogel 4/20) vs Palmer 5/37

[Dutchy]

personally Id say its pretty even between the 2 comps, similar recent wins in the Meyer, an edge to the TVCA and a slight edge to the Hills in Courier Cups....Hills has probably had the "name" players over the years and the comp has flourished a bit more than TVCA, but you cant deny the TVCA's results on the Jan long weekend...Ive only played 2 Meyer games against A&EH and Murray Towns and fair to say they are a fair bit behind the above 2....

Stirling and Baskets lose outright on the weekend...pretty easy it seems, raises the point should a team that loses outright lose points? as there really is no penalty for losing outright....

Think you're a bit off on the Courier Cups again. Lobey have won a bucket load of them, and between them and Kersbrook have won 3 of the last 4 Think you'll find again that most of the Courier Cup wins have gone to the TV sides.

hi i am just new to this site, have been reading thru it and seen that picadilly panther made a ton in c grade at the age of 11, i think it is a load of crap, he is now 14 and cant even get an a grade game, from what i have read silky sticks up for him on this site, i think they would of been kissing down at the school sand pit at 11 years old

PP did make a ton in Cs at 11 u moron, and he is now 17, he is playing A grade, he played 1 and a half games of B grade to play with me and robby, and then went back up. but welcome to the site you might spice it up a bit with ur stupid comments and not knowing anything about cricket

FDV i can assure you it isnt me cuz.

[Silky skills]

and saintal ur right i only watched TV play against the invitational 11, and they embarrassed them. better bowlers, better batters, better fielders. credit where credit is due FDV they gave u a pasteing

[Cricket Fan]

Yes fair to say credit where credit is due. But if any of you know a touch about cricket, the best side wins on the day no matter how good the teams are. Hills obviously had the better side on paper, especially in the bowling department... I dont doubt if Hills played to there ability as TV did on the day Hills would of been the winner... But thats why we play isnt because it only takes 10 balls to bowl a side out no matter how good the bowling. I think the results also suprised some TV players... I think you will find that it was just one of those days in cricket.

Good call about the Courier Cup games both should be very good games and i will be travelling out to have a look. Probably the Lobey game i think.

I still don't understand how you can say that if both sides played to their ability Hills would be the winner. TV Smashed Hills!!! While Hills have quicker bowlers, TV boast a stronger batting line up and have 2 quality spinners. Perhaps Hills should shorten the teams in their A grade comp to improve the standard, thus bringing the best sides playing against each other on a more regular basis. Lobey play Kersbrook at least twice a year and usually around 4 times a season!

[Banker]

Its not really possible to shorten the teams playing A grade in the HCA, the comp is pretty full in all grades. Lofty are the only A grade team not fielding a B grade.

I remember about 6months ago the idea of a super-leauge being created from the top sides of the Hills, TV and A&EH. That would settle the dispute


Dutchy- Are there any comps that punish a team for losing outright? I cant think of any. Are you a bit cut that Stirling are still above you?

Nah I dont think there are but what Im getting at is there isnt any penalty for a lower team to fight off a outright esp late in the season...moreso Id be pissed if I was sitting 4th going into the last round and 5th jumped into the finals due to a lower team gifting an outright to them...just think it would be worth looking into

[Cricket Fan]

Yes Hills were beaten i agree and im not arguing with that at all but saying they having a better batting line up is stupid as saying they have 2 quality spinners compared with ours is stupid 2. Ryan Hunter has played SA Country as a Spinner and Batsman and he is a class above your 2 spinners on his day. Rohan Reid is also a SA Country batsman and Anthony Prior as a bowler is SA Country Bowler, along with Galvin who has played A & B grade at Sturt. None of those players got there without ability. Yes King and Hackett are quality bats but once these guys got out on Monday i think i read in the paper you lost 4/2 so is this any different to what the Hills did on Saturday not really, so they are not that much better are they???

This is as far-fetched as BCC reasoning that if the hills boys were sober they would have easily won the shield.

Dont pick so many alcoholics next time

Yeah the difference when TV lost 4/2, all the blokes were trying to smash the winning runs What was the Hills batsmen excuse Paul Collyer is probably 3rd to Hunter and Reid with most runs in Flerieu, King and Hackett have more 'A' grade premierships than any other, Wehrman, MacDonald and Wehrman played 2nd grade district as teenagers, Tyson Rathjen is the most promising Under 23 in Flerieu and Wescombe and Johns hit the ball further than anyone else in the Flerieu! Any other reasons TV pumped Hills?
