Adelaide Hills Cricket (Hills, A&EH, TV)

[T-Bag]

Played Giff last game and he is a good cricketer but I reckon he would be found out in a higher grade. Cant play a leg side shot to save himself and loves to show his stumps trying to play that cut shot over point. If he's happy to play C's then good on him - I do think that the Pipers C's will be found out come finals if hes not playing though - his batting and bowling is pretty key to that side.

after having a few of the amber ales over the festive season the topic of big fish in small ponds came up and one name kept coming up. one brock gifford who plays for mylor i am lead to believe. from what i here this bloke rates himself as a bit of a cricketer/footballer/boxer and has played plenty of A grade district in brisbane and has played for QLD 2nd XI. this resume along with the fact he is only 30, 31 next week, would surely see him not just playing but dominating hills a grade but is happy to just play hills c grade and then boasts about his avg of 200+ for the season. what a joke!! all he ever wants is to be the big fish in the small pond!! how bout u step out of your comfort zone giff and toughen up!! start walking the walk instead of always talking the talk!!!

Played A Grade for SCIBS few years back. Definately didn't dominate.

did torrens valley comp play last weekend, straight after new years? It's a bit rich if they did!

Certainly did TB. Had the 20/20 Carnival on Dec 20th and resumed this week Jan 3rd. Agree a bit of hassle, as a lot of clubs had players racing back from holidays to play. Think Torrens Valley's thinking is that they will finsh a week or two earlier than most comps, avoiding a programmed Grand Final Weekend on the same week as Clipsal.

Hahndorf all out for 55 v Nairne.
What happened Silky?

[BRaG]

Whats the likelyhood of a player being suspended if they dont play association? Is it all talk? Pretty harsh on a bloke if he doesnt want to play.

A&EH will do it if it occurs, but Torrens Valley and Hills won't suspend players.

Torrens Valley players building great form on the weekend for the upcoming Meyer shield. Ducks to Hackett and Wescombe and Golden Ducks to Wehrman, Johns and Wimberley!

Hahndorf all out for 55 v Nairne.
What happened Silky?

we were a disgrace.. unacceptable really. they bowled well, we were 3 for 54, all out for 55. and yes i got a pair of quacks

I see Johnno Foster was back for Nairne and amongst the wickets. Must be back to full fitness and fired up after his unfortunate Melbourne cup day misfortune.

Also see Echunga are struggling again after an excellent start to the season and cant see them hanging on to 4th spot for much longer. Beaten out/right by strath and only claiming 1 wicket for the match is a pretty comprehensive loss.

Creeks are starting to gather a bit of momentum as they are getting a few players back. Beat Wistow easily despite not batting that well and Dropping straightforward catches which i notice has been a common trait with most teams this year.

An early tip for the Finals are Nairne v L.Creek and Strath v Hahndorf to play off in the semis with Nairne and Strath to clash in the GF which probably means Creeks and Hahndorf will.

Does anyone have an idea of what the hills side's could be for each association???????????????????????????????

[Silky skills]

yoda i would think the a and e h association team will look like this

Berkett (c)
schofield
heinrich
dunstall
Abbott
heinrich
chenoweth
pegler
tait
foster
and maybe Smart or Cousins as a spinner.
that is my team

silky please dont include smart amongst that standard of players haha!!..

where are al the HAHNDORF blokes?? its Nairne & Strath vs all the rest???

[2jox]

surely no hahndorf players warrant selection after their incipid performance on the weekend?

what about echunga lads?? ive heard they have a young leggie who is taking plenty of wickets and who is more than capable with the bat in nick lyons? is he any chance??

[jackpot jim]

NO.

N.Lyons 88 runs @ 14.67 and 2 wkts @ 55.50 in 'A' grade are not the stats that demand meyer shield selection.
also had 1 match in 'B' grade, 10 overs 0/61.

Plenty of wickets J.R. you've got a bad source of information.

Dunstall would be the only player from Echunga a chance to make the team.

[Holy Grail]

Good luck to all the Aldgate and Uri lads playing in the Jason "2e" Schapel Cup this wkend. Should be a huge game, always plenty of fireworks between the two sides.

no chance any echunga blokes will make it, apart from dunstall maybe. and lyons, well when you back away to square leg every ball your not gonna make to many runs, and against us he got hit for about 9 an over so yeh...

and no hahndorf players are playing due to being screwed over by the league last year with suspensions.. so the hahndorf boys are taking a stand against it
