Don't get me wrong, I don't think anyone at Pooraka likes the 9 round format.
Just that we probably didn't lose any money because of it.

I didn't mind it.
Better to play every team once in the 2 day format, rather than a dodgy 1 day game at the beginning of the season.

Ok, I think the majority of people at Pooraka don't like it.

It's probably not that much of an issue for the guys who also play Twenty20 because they play a fair amount of cricket as it is.

I know the guys that play in the lower grades weren't too happy about having those three Saturdays off.

I don't like having Saturdays off either. We can try and add another T20 team next year so we can get more people involved during the season, I'm just saying that playing everyone once in the year in a 2 day format is the best way to go.

If they made the season length a bit shorter then we could close those Saturday gaps up.

Not much talk on Grand Finals. Plenty of talk during the year on minor round games but come finals it goes quiet. Where's hatshtag?

I saw most of the A1 GF and it was a ripper. Both sides under-performed with the bat but bowled really well. Grange just managed to strangle the life out of PAOC on day 2. Tough to defend a sub 100 score twice in two days and Grange were just to good in the end. Thought Wes Thomas was outstanding with bat and ball. Boucaut bowled an amazing spell to tie the game on day 1. Richardson's 42 not out was a great knock on day 1 as well.

What happened in the other GF's?

Trinity and Penfield played a one dayer at Para Hills. Trinity Batted first and got off to a great start 0-56 with Krieg and Barraclough getting through a tough period before losing our first. Then matt sandery came out and and really put us in control with a 100 run partnership with krieg. both making 50s krieg (75) and Sandery (63) late hitting from cotter and Viner smith got us to 6-247 off 50

Penfield never looked in it losing regular wickets and at one stage being 6-70 but kept us out there with some fight from their tail. In the end bowled out for 138 in the 39th over. B.Fraser was a stand out with the new ball taking 2-12 off his 10 overs (straight) everyone else contributed with the ball, Hooker (7overs 2-20) Sandery (5 overs 1-16) Cameron 8 overs (3-40) Krieg (9 overs 2-45)

A3 awaits both sides

Woody Rechs have recruited Rick Francis from Adelaide CC as assistant coach to Duffett. If they can get Southam, Wake and Buckley to join them for most of the season they will definitely be around the mark in A1 again next year. Is Harrity going around again next season for Grange?

Warrick Stanborough from West Torrens to Marion as assistant coach, will be a few worried opening batsmen in A2 when he takes the new rock with Bevan

Few Pooraka boys keeping up there fitness up with Para Hills FC during the footy season but are they sticking together to have a crack at back to back flags in A1?

Any other teams got any signing yet?

We have turned the winter corner, the days are getting longer, it seems warmer, more, crickety.

The winter is long for a high flying exec like myself without cricket to break the weeks up. Flying from meeting to meeting, trying to keep everything above board, putting aces in their places across the piece. Airing out branch problems, staff usually submitting documents ALAP to avoid thorough checking, making it harder for me. But this is what a person in my position has to deal with, fortunately I do have the magic bullet to solve these conundrums. Going forward I'd like drill down and micromanage these hiccups to make the whole process easier.

As you can tell, it all just rolls into one big stressful, meal for one boardroom meeting. But one thing does keep me going through this period, reading poetry, here is one of my favourites:

Tyson taught them a lesson that can't be forgotten,
Tyson taught them a lesson that can't be forgotten,
We began quietly, but we came back with victory,
Good captaincy from Len Hutton, but the honours must go to Typhoon Tyson.

Australia's tragedy, it began at Sydney,
Magnificent Tyson, had their batsmen beaten,
He went on to give us, a victory for Christmas,
Good captaincy from Len Hutton, but the honours must go to Typhoon Tyson.

More shocks for Australia, the Melbourne disaster,
As Favell got going, his wicket went tumbling,
We got them out cheaply, and score second victory,
Good captaincy from Len Hutton, but the honours must go to Typhoon Tyson.

The bowling was so good, it remind them of Larwood,
Maginificent Tyson finished with seven for twenty-seven,
They had no excuses, we regained the Ashes,
Good captaincy from Len Hutton, but the honours must go to Typhoon Tyson.


he Ashes- Lord Kitchener-1955

So pooraka is A1 much more expensive than A2? Like an upgrade to full leather seats in a new Lexus?

A3 must be pricy to buy, a bit like the EPL, wonder if Man city will be in the market for more money grabbers.

Gee 18 days of 2 day cricket for 13/14, couple of days off for wet decks and hot weather and thier will be a lot of happy wifes this season. Bad luck if you are not in a 20/20 team either, play a couple of weeks in a row then have a game off.

Makes me think this is why guys are leaving district cricket to chase a couple of penny's with less committment.

BTW playing dates listed under downloads of ATCA website.

[Trader]

Was like that last year as well.

Good to see they've moved a 2nd T20 round to the start of the year rather than first week back after xmas. Mutch prefer to have T20 washed out (that can easily be reschudeled for a tuesday night) than the real stuff.

The current management at ATCA continue to get more right than wrong.

[EldersUniSA]

Yes and more T20's for div 2 which is good. I think a few will be surprised though how late we are starting the regular season.

How many clubs have full records of games played/runs/wickets. We have just started going through our books now.

When comparing games played, how would you suggest comparing 1 day and 2 day games in the tally?

My club allocates 0.5 for the 1-dayers, it's reasonable without being perfect.
In previous years you could have a two day player play a full season and get 11 games (ex Finals), yet a 1-day guy could only get a max of 9. The new draw has solved this issue.
Now the only issue comes when there is a wash/heat out one of the two weeks. The 2-day guy still gets a full game stat for what becomes a 1-day game, yet the guy playing LO's only gets 0.5
Minor differences really so no biggie.

We've got our stats put into mycricket back to 97, would have gone back further but we started to find errors in the old stats so chose only to enter what we knew were correct.

I suppose to put it in a little context, in the last 11 seasons we have had 7 seasons of 2 day, 33 of one day. the next 10 seasons after that will be 50-50 and then just 2-day.

The dream would be to count number of days played I suppose. but who wants to say they player 300 days of cricket lol...

[Bluedemon]

That is a very late start, 26th October.

That is a very late start, 26th October.

Start earlier and the rain washes it out. Decks should be in excellent condition by then.
