dont worry SYL!! some teams have bad starts with all the traveling they have to do those away games at the G must really take a toll on such a young group.. this week you might get a home game at the G and things will turn for you..

[creekers]

what do people think of blokes taking money over talent? should blokes play the highest grade of cricket first before taking
the graditudes of money in lower grades?
i question it?? shouldn't we test ourselves first?

Are you reffering to anyone or any team in particular there creekers?

I would have thought that there wasnt much money at all in PDCA??

[Grahaml]

There wouldn't be more money playing a lower standard so that's a bit of a strange comment IMHO. Perhaps you could question some blokes choosing to play a lower level so they can star with bat and ball rather than work hard to be a small part of a good team in a higher grade. That's a bit too common in PDCA I think.

Even at your club?

[Grahaml]

It happens but probably not to the extent of other clubs around. Some clubs manage to get entire teams playing lower grades than they should. We have a few guys who could play higher, but most are well past their best and I can't begrudge them the luxury of some easier games on the body as their cricket days near an end.

not to sure about people getting paid in lower grades!! or do you mean competition??
money should be paid to people who are talented enough to be paid,no matter what level it is.just because someone plays hard wicket doesnt mean they dont deserve to be rewarded for being a good player. so many people that play turf look and think they are playing for the aussies and look down at people who play hard wicket, at the end of the day you have to hit a red ball and if some people get paid to do that good on them..

Whatever cricketer goes to Ingle Farm they will with no doubt enjoy there time there,its a club on the rise through hard work from fantastic people that reward and develop their kids from u/9 level and will be a challenge for anybody to break into their A grade side.Probaly the most respected coach in all of Adelaide Turf that still has one unfinished job with the club and people that need him to help finish the deal.Bring on 09/10.

Just playing devils advocate here, but will all the hard work developing kids from U/9 level go out the window by loading up on PDCA imports ? I've seen cases where an influx of outsiders does more harm than good.

That wasn't an attack on Ingle Farm, just a question as I now have multiple mates playing there too.

Thoughts ? Twin ?

could not agree more oz

[Grahaml]

Is that the same bowler who was said to be leaving before this season as well? Good on him if he does leave to play turf. Personally, I have no problem with blokes leaving to a higher standard of cricket. In fact I probably urge more blokes to give it a go than I should. But if we were to lose key players we have the talent in the B grade to come through and pick up the slack. But every one of the guys that leaves knows (or at least I hope they know) they are always welcome to return if they ever want. Although the Wiz would know more about that than I.......
