At the WYC we will be looking to replace R King, R Press and Possibly M McKay who after winning the A grade flag will more than likely all play b grade cricket next season. I guess they would have chosen a good way to go out but hopefully we can keep them in the A's as they are all still contributing enough to stay there.
We just need to find some replacements for these guys which will be easier said than done after looking at the records of these blokes.
Losing our opening batsmen that we had for the last couple of games to either Port or woodville and maybe 1 other batsmen.
who may that other batsmen be Bazza?

Apparantly Heath Streak has come down with a bad case of swine flu and will be quarantined until after next cricket season. What are plympton going to do now...surely there are other ex international players that are willing to do their bit for local cricket in SA and will give u blokes a hand this year.

There was talk at the exec meeting of the association about the plight of the SCA but the ASCA doesn't expect to see any teams from there at this stage and doesn't expect any new teams at this point.

This is what the WYC, thanks to a player of ours, have put together for the consideration of the clubs as an extra grade for our comp. What are peoples thoughts on this?
I propose that Div 7 ( we are now back to 6 Divisions I know, and this could be done in 6 or have 7 created once more ) be used in this manner and why.
- One day game limited to 40 overs
- Played every second week on week 2 of the 2 day comp. This will encourage people from all grades to attend presentations at each clubs facilities.
- Therefore with 12 teams each side would still play 11 games.
This is a brief over view of the proposal and I best summarise why I think this could work.
Many recently retired players would attest to the fact the reasons they have retired could be confined to three major factors. Work,Family,Age. Lets look at them closely.
Family - As players reach a more mature age and find themselves with a young family the ability to take several hours out of every Saturday begins to put an unhealthy balance
into peoples lives. Understandably cricket is often the loser in this equation and children and spouse's are held in much higher regard. Rightly so. This then causes players to
retire from the game.
Age - Just as above,many players find a full days cricket leaves them too 'sore' to be 100% for a return to work on Monday morning. As not many of us ( I wish it was nobody ) gets paid
to play our level of cricket invariably cricket is the loser again.
Work - Many people now find themselves in a position that entails weekend work and not all employers are flexible enough to allow people to 'skip' Saturday's just to play cricket.
Also, players in higher grades who have 1 off commitments ( wedding etc ) could fit in and play in this division. Also, juniors from each club could 'test the water' as it were into senior
cricket giving clubs a look at those 14 or 15 year olds who are nearly ready to take the next step.
I feel many people who are on the cusp of retirement along with many recenlty retired players could find playing every second week suitable to thier lifestyle. Family still gets quality time
and the body only has to recover every two weeks from a game. If work commitments are an issue people may have the ability to work every other Saturday.
After speaking with several past players from my club,along with the thoughts of players still playing at mine and other clubs I think the interest in this competition would be strong.
Please take the time to discuss this with the Presidents of each club as I believe the interest will be strong and the feedback positive.
After all,our assosciation is all about encouraging people to play the game and what better way than to keep people involved longer and get them involved earlier.
