i also agree that hunter is going to send bridgy chasing some balls all over the shop tomorrow! could b a big yr for the beasto

[Holy Grail]

Yeh Hunsy looks to be in for a good yr. However watch for some support from young L. Thomas, could provide a head ache for Bridgewater this match with the bat

[Dutchy]

heres a random stat for ya. meadows a grade cricket team 2moro has the last 5 a grade footy b & f players lining up for them.
great to c the locals shining in both forms of the game in the hills!

fascinating

[Bat Pad]

[bazzw]

HCA tips for round 1

MT LOFTY VS SCIBS- SCIBS by 3 wickets- been lots of talk about Lofty being more competitive this yr but just dont see them winning many more games then last yr. if the paper is right and big bad brad smith is back for scibs that game could b an interesting specticle. he should b in good shape after umpiring this yr.


BRIDGY VS URI- URI by 80 runs- dont know much bout either team except that bridgy have lost players and not gained many. Usual suspects for uri should get the job done hunter and carter ect.

ONKAS VS MEADOWS- onkas by 2 wickets- should b a belter of a match. lots of talk in the off season about recruits to an already awesome onkas outfit. also rumours have it that some meadows boys are still sore from footy season and may miss early matches. the game will be won on day 1, depending on both squads line ups.

GATORS VS HAPPY VALLEY- gators easy- even with the loss of AP the boys will b too strong. Piggy will take early wickets and knock over chippers who is the valleys only decent bat. then bjordal to make a ton against an ordinary bowling attack.

any1 elses thoughts?

Expect the Onkas, Meadows to be an absolute run fest due to the fact they are playing on Oak Bank Area school oval.

I think you are on the mark there maggie. If either meadows or Onkas make 400 and Rohan Reid to get a double ton to start the year wouldn't suprise me. A few bonus points on offer there lads!

Fryer is playing-coach at Concordia A3 turf
Made 8 batting no. 4 and took 1-15 off 10 overs in Rd 1 win...

Thanks mate.

Good bloke Pete Fryer and good player too. Sad to see him leave the Ling.

Are you surprised he left to take up coaching? or has it been on the cards??

Not sure as I haven't been around the club for the last coupe of years. He was always good at training with us - would always give you some pointers if you asked for them.

I can't recall if he was given a coaching role at Stirling - he may have been since I've been away. Big loss to our club - big gain for yours.

Yep!!!

Made 90 in A grade today!! Luv him

"No not going to play cricket this season" was my statement throughout the entire footy season. Day one on went the whites , oh well i guess i will have a rest next season. Any feed back on the C grade 20/20 games from yesterday.

Uraidla 246 (Dillon Brown 102 Luke thomas 52 Cartso 32) vs Bridgewater 1 for 20 odd

[hereselmo1]

Who is the team to look out for in the B grade this year?How would you boys rank each team?

What players are the ones to watch in B grade?

Who won the B grade last year?

[bazzw]

Mylor won the b's last season so should be around the mark again, Aldgate are always around the place and Eastern Ranges will also put in a good show I reckon.

[bookie]

I heard Mylor have lost a few players, is fleet still playing? All footy season he was saying that he wasnt gonna play but he often does that. Was he there on saturday Fatalberton?

Wistow

def by Nairne
6/349(cc) K Heinrich 106 C Foster 98* J May 61
and 2/68

go razors good work knocking off last seasons premier quite easily..

[james hacker]

I think Mylor should be the team to beat again, provided they keep the majority of their players. Never count out Aldgate and Easterns will be better for theeir year in B's last year.
In terms of players to look out for, Gaunt from Mylor is probably the best actual batsman I have seen, Hollamby from Aldgate is dangerous and Fleet from Mylor is probably the most damaging batsman in the comp. Steadman (mylor), Finch (Easterns) are also batsmen you need to get early.
Anthony Cooper from Mylor probably quickest and best of the bowlers, with Orielly (aldgate) very difficult and takes a lot of wickets. Stringer is also a good B grade bowler.
Mylor went undefeated all year last year but got out of jail in both finals to win the flag. Prediction is for Easterns to surprise with a flag in only their second year in the B's
Hope this was helpful, even it is probably wrong in many opinions

In other A+EHCA games Hahndorf made 218 in reply to Straths 280 odd.
And the ECHUNGA MINERS have rocketed to the TOP of the table with an Outright win over the Creeks. L.Ck 126 + 2/154 dec (T.Potts 66 M.Tonkin 60*) lost O/R to Ech 5/145 Dec + 5/137 (S.Dunstall 68*).
Well done to the Echunga lads after a tough couple of seasons since coming back into 'A' grade. Cant see them being part of the Finals action tho.
After just 1 game i'm declaring that Nairne, Strath and Hahndorf will finish top 3 whilst it will be a toss up for 4th spot between Wistow, Echunga and Creeks.
Updated odds.
Nairne $1.80
Strath $3.00
Hahndorf $3.30
Wistow $21.00
L.Creek $21.00
Echunga $51.00

Personaly i rekon that Steadman is the best batsman goin round in the B's but i rekon youl find hes useless come finals time i dont rekon hes made a decent score in the time mylor have been in the finals.

[devilsadvocate]

Steadman (mylor), Finch (Easterns) are also batsmen you need to get early.

Finch aka 'F*** F***'.

The man swears more than Eric Cartman.
Get into him early and he'll fall to pieces. He'd rather argue and swear at people than play cricket.
One of the most amusing people I've come across in the HCA.

[GetTheSherrin]

JH, fairly accurate post there i reckon, agree gaunt is the best b grade bat.. and top three would think is set already with mylor, gate and rangers. gotta adjust to this two day cricket stuff again, crap!!

Bookie, fatalberton has been given a spell form the forum. To answer your question - Fleety broke his run of Quackers making 2 on the weekend. Mylor had 8 of last years GF team turn out for day one of the season
