PDCA

[Dr Phil]

Enfield to grade 3. Bedge will blow his load.

Reckon i'm the only one happy at the club - our B grade are filthy about 6 team divs [emoji38]

On paper, the top 3 grades look so much more even and balanced though (assuming they get the grading correct).

What teams you rekon?

Who else have they dropped from grade 1? I heard whispers but thought surely they wouldn’t be so silly

Yes, pure 2 day comps.

A stronger case for the "But I only wanna play one-dayers because I have my kids every fortnight or I work every 2nd weekend"

They end up winning the C grade batting and play every week.

The truth generally came out in round 5 when the higher grades started their one-dayers "but I'm sitting 2nd in the association runs"

Yeah I think there will be a lot of 'I might be getting called into work a fair few times so its going to be easier to just play one dayers so I don't miss out'

Could Units be a chance to not go up. Presume they lose at least 2 from their premiership side.

[The Bedge]

I would bank on Units staying down - losing Knapp and Nugget is a fair blow. At a guess, something like..

Grade 1:
1. Westies
2. Angle Vale
3. Virginia
4. Dublin
5. Eastern Park
6. Craigmore

Grade 2:
1. Parafield Gardens
2. North Eastern Knights
3. Central United
4. Eyre Royals
5. One Tree Hill
6. Smithfield

Grade 3:
1. North Pines
2. ATCO
3. Enfield
4. Eyre Royals 'B'
5. North Eastern Knights 'B'
6. Salisbury West 'B' or Two Wells/Dublin 'B'

Grade 4:
1. Salis West / Two Wells / Dublin B
2. Craigmore B
3. One Tree Hill B
4. Enfield B
5. Parafield Gardens B
6. Two Wells / Dublin B

North Pines was always going to turn to shit with the players they recruited.

What's the chances a fair few of them blokes bob up in the one day comps or smash 1000 runs in the grade 3 or 4 or something.

With 6 teams per division you could do 5 x 4 day games

Different opponent each month

[whufc]

Going to be a long season if your shit in a two day comp team. At least your going to get two bats every week.

700 overs in the field for the year would drag on though

As much as I don't like the one dayers they were always a bit of a relief when you were in a crap team.

6 team divisions should end up being a lot closer competition in theory, so not sure you'd see massive blow outs (yet to be seen though).

On the upside, if you're really poor and get done outright in one day, you get rewarded with a week off the next!

You're talking the PDCA here, you're trying to keep 11 players from getting locked up for a whole month?

We've had many serial "no-show pests" over the years, unfortunately most of them were good players.

[Slowleftarm]

This new set up would really suit me, why can't I come out of retirement lol

Do you have to play with Sam McArdle though

Revised playing conditions, version 53.

6 team grades.
Grade 1 and 2 pure two day comp (10 rounds).
Grade 3 to 5 playing 5x two day games and 10x one day games.
Grade 6 to 11 playing pure one day comp (20 rounds).

There was like 27 two day sides registered, and 36 one day sides registered last night including 4x from Para Vista and 3x from Athelstone & ATCO.

Grade 1 & 2 clubs to vote on which clubs make up the top two grades, after it was insinuated EP would have to play Grade 2.

Like that.

May as well just make all the grades below 2 the 5/10 format and get rid of the LO comps.

If clubs can’t commit to 5x two day games then **** em.. clubs cruise through the one day grades taking the piss, with no scrutiny, whilst the same clubs try and prop up the premier grades of the competition and are constantly fighting each other to manage it.

Is there a new club that has entered the comp.

A work collegue from our head office was playing for Adelaide Warriors last season but mentioned to me he has moved to a new club him and his mates have set up.

Wondering if that is in the PDCA.

I would prefer two day cricket in all comps like you suggested. Sadly I think the reality is a lot of those one day only teams would pack up and move comps.

I guess the league committee doesn't have the guts to risk losing a heap of teams for what we consider the betterment of the competition. Put simply they probably don't need the hassle and drama.

Two new clubs - Adel Risers and Adel Union - into the one day comps.
