add Jacob Ralph to that list.
Just a lazy 171 in a one dayer last week along with some pretty impressive bowling figures throughout the year.
A's: Grade 2 (6th)
B's: Grade 4 (5th)
C's: Grade 8 (top)
Hmmmm.
Every club experiences it, especially when you have straight out One Day teams.
Re-enactment of selection night season opener:
Dude: "Hey mate, I'm only available this week so it's best if I play in the C's"
Me: "That's a shame, could do with you in the A's"
Week Two:
Dude: "I'm not working this week now, I should be right to play in the C's again"
Week Three:
Doesn't train, gets named in the C's just incase, no ones heard from him, good mates with the C's skipper who has a back up plan.
Dude rocks up to the club after scoring 80 and taking 4fa becasue he'll probably get an award, he'll definitely get 5 schooners for his 50+, dude says "I'm not sure if I'm available every week, I've gotta take the overtime when it's there coz Christmas is coming up and I just wanna play one dayers"
Round 5 hits, you hit dude up to play in the A's as all grades now play the next 7 rounds of one dayers and then all the excuses come out again and then you don't see him at training for all this time, but he wont mind messaging you to say he's available in the A Grade T20 on the Sunday if needed.
Presentation night he rocks up suave as to collect his C Grade batting, bowling and fielding awards and begins to tell all the A Graders that he wants to play A's the next season and give it his best shot.
Next season, copy and paste.
