only really interesting because clarendon rival happy valley as the biggest cheats ive ever played against. we had their umpire (captain i think) call a clear edge to first slip a bump ball. they just cheat so f-ing blatonly it just ruins the game. in the end yeah we lost anyway but should keep top spot if we win this week but it also stuffs up mylors chances of finals. have heard happies are out of our league next yr, take clarendon with ya!

[GetTheSherrin]

cant disagree there GTS, Clarendon game was probably the most unenjoyable game Ive ever been involved in...they are a joke, we put up with crap from Stanleys for years, finally get rid of them and Clarendon take their place

Im back this week...

[Banker]

Heard that Perry wasnt exactly 'happy' with the slip catch being denied either

Theres a chance you will be playing them in the first week of the finals, might come out and watch unless were playing...


Dutchy, thought you would take this week off aswell to protect your average!

[GetTheSherrin]

ha, yeah perry was sub fielding but quickly got asked to be swapped?? no idea why?? just him being his usual quiet self!

yeah think we will be playing them rnd 1 of finals. could be a bad day for them with independant umpires!!

[Dutchy]

Nah I want to catch GTS in aggregate....128 for me and a Duck to GTS will do it

[Banker]

haha i'll try to help you out with the duck bit... learnt a few lessons bowling to GTS last time, learnt to keep my mouth shut too!

[GetTheSherrin]

ah, banker reveals himself.. ha yeah i get a bit firey when people remind me im a hack slogger . dutchy 128 mate, very doable for you after the year youve had, but im pretty sure G. mcGinley from the pump side is well and truely ahead of me, not sure what he got last week and he has a score of 120 not entered into resultsvault. damn him, got my hopes up!

[Banker]

Thought you would have worked it out ages ago GTS when i was on here whinging about you playing C's not B's!



Congrats to Jake Brown who makes his 1st Class debut for the Redbacks this week!
Played for SCIBs in the U16s, pity no results are online to see how he went, I know he made a ton one game and while I was at the other end.
I made 7! :p

[GetTheSherrin]

yeah im a bit slow on this stuff mate so you gonna take 9 wickets this week big fella?? i hear you guys have dropped a1 cooper for our clash this week.. good times. just another mtlofty devil on the park, should make for a fun game.

[Banker]

lol who told you that? Think someone is stirring you up, first ive heard of it.

We were suppose to have a A grade district player playing this weekend but FA wont get a clearance for him

I know you will be one short this weekend with Greeny going to Soundwave. Im hoping none of our boys are going

and yeah i will a small miracle to poach that trophy off you...

[Tex]

haha i want them too leave because a couple of there players are absolute tossers and lose the plot on the field when they are getting beaten... most of ther team are good blokes.

i dont want a team in our association that is gonna act like that. They tried too do that sort of s***t against us and JT smashed them all over the park. Its not on doing that sort of crap too a young fella who is in his first or second year of A grade.
i think its bullsh!t and im glad he got suspended..

If most of there team are good blokes why do you want them to leave for a couple of tossers? Your comp over ther isnt very strong and i suspect if you any lose more teams that it would become very hard to sustain a comp at all as Ashbourne & Echunga are not really A Grade standard. I wouldn't mind Hahndorf returning to the HCA and Happy Valley or Basket Range dropping out to be honest! Well i guess if Hahndy did pull out your chances of winning may increase so i suspect that's your reasoning! By the way who's their Tossers (Apart from Deleted)? We may need to sledge them next season!!!

[Banker]

Jaensch is at bridgy... and on here...

Rumour has it Happys are leaving, and surely Baskets would be re-considering there move to A grade after struggling in all grades this season.

How many teams does Handorf have?

[SCIB CC]

Why would we want Hahndorf back in the Hills??
Regardless of whatever happened last week if as rumoured Happy Valley goes back to Southern and Basket Range back to B grade we would be back to 8 teams in A grade.Then we could once again have 7 two day games and 7 one day games, which is by far the best program we ever had in Hills cricket for A grade. Teams will get an equal number of home games (unlike now), and things like a wash out wont prove quite as costly as they do now.
Hopefully the Hills hierachy realise this and make it a priority,maybe then u wont have so many A grade players playing C grade aswell.(that is not a shot at anyone as we have 3 or 4 blokes who should be playing A's in our C's)

[Banker]

that is not a shot at anyone as we have 3 or 4 blokes who should be playing A's in our C's

LOL turn it up...

But I agree with alot of your points. We need more one dayers in B grade aswell. Not many C graders want to play B's....

[Dutchy]

Couldnt agree more SCIBy...that season we had 7 of each form was brilliant, mixed it up and was easily the best mix....

2 of the HCA committee post on here so they may take notice!

LOL! I said we shouldn't bother applying because we sure as hell wouldn't get it. Need to be a bit more subtle.

And can confirm neith AJ or Big Gay Al Cooper are playing A/3s. Both were named slash players in the A/2s.

You might see Cranna there though. Clearance has been granted for him if Jimmy wants to select him.

Two of us? I presume the other is Brenton then?

The draw is just about impossible with 9 teams - especially in a season shortened by an early Easter. This season was not ideal. We considered a format (my suggestion as it happens) for A/2s that did see everyone play each other and with a few one-dayers chucked in but it involved a few Sunday games to make it all fit and made coordination of ovals a nightmare.

I agree we do need to ensure some one-dayers are played in A and B grade for two reasons:
1) so players aren't tempted to play below there level just so they can play onedayers (some of our A/2s are already suggesting they'll opt for that next summer - and that can't be good for us, or the comp.
2) Because we've sucked a bit in the Meyer in the couple of years without one dayers in the A/1s.

Problem is the 9 teams.

All suggestions gratefully accepted - as are nominations for new committee members!!!

haha jks, even if we could get clearance, jimmy didn't want to drop anyone to play him which is fair enough. We will register him early next season and make sure he can play a game or 2

HCA Has 9 'A' Grades
A+EHCA Has 7 'A' Grades

1 HCA 'A' Grade plays in A+EHCA and problem is solvered.

7 x 2 dayers, 7 x 1 dayers, a perfect mix, everyone happy.
