Any news on the CUSA cup side ? Rumor is no one wants to captain the side. Also the first game is only 2 weeks away

Firmly believe the 6 team comp would have worked. 5 2 dayers 5 40 over 5 20/20 The 20/20 3 weeks from xmas and 2 after as everyone has committments, make it easier to field teams. Too many teams are failing to field teams, forcing kids to play. It would also strengthen the comp. Now we have 2 or 3 teams in each grade that by xmas will be getting smashed. Need more clubs to take the mycricket on board. No more shit excuses about cant afford it , no PC at club. Lets get into the 21st century.

Hello all This has taken me ages to find this site, been scrolling over the last 18 pages and some very interesting topics. A big concern for me is the future of cricket in the PDCA. Every year we have got teams dropping out and kids finding other things to do. When I was a kid, I gave my left nut to play seniors, now kids have cars, girls beaches etc and the list goes on. Cricket must be made exciting again. Would love to hear from all the gurus on how to mahe it more user friendly.


Oh try facing Lounder Lee Hayes boys Crook Librandi Laverty these guys were all quick and we played on the black poo most of the time

Not sure what the answer is to keeping PDCA going . Maybe clubs or the PDCA need to do more Junior development to keep kids interested.

Agree with the mycricket. But not a fan of the 20/20 concept. We will have two of our best cricketers missing for the last two games before christmas but we have the right people in place which gaurantees that we have great kids to play in there spots or in the lower grades

Ive got plus's and negatives on the 20/20 thingy. Whether we like it or not,its coming and fast. Do the association jump on board and adopt it properly or stick our heads in the sand. i firmly believe we need to look after our young kids and our old blokes.(every club has both ).

[norm11]

Of course you need to look after the old and the young. Thats what we do

[Bag & Sledge]

bag & sledge how would two wells sandy and west stack up against a turf team? and dont be shy..

One thing is for sure, the batsman value their wicket in turf a lot more which means their strike rate is lower. Para Districts wickets are thrown away by batsman.


Hard to compare, but think a super team competition could be on the cards in years to come-
Para Districts top two against Adelaide Turf top two and Surburban also could make a great champions league concept.

I believe SACA had meetings last season in regards to participation numbers being down in junior levels.
As they said it starts at the top and works its way down. One thing SACA believed they needed to do was to get behind the Twenty20 concept to get people involved back in cricket once again to get numbers back up to where they were, then they can re-introduce the One Day and Test formats.
But SACA were very worried about participation numbers being down over the last couple of years.

20/20 is def the key kids would love to play it.. and maybe the people who play footy and are good cricketers who dont play would start to show a interest
