Very entertaining!


Love it, will make future games between the sides a bit more interesting.

Think they may have narrowed the field already with wanting a Level 3 coach, would be some more than adequate Level 2 assistants going around in PC who may look at a head coaching role to further develop their skills. Hard to get level 3 accreditation in SA!

Unless they have someone lined up and it is just part of their constitution to advertise.

195 Tea Tree Gully
185 Sturt (have the bye)
170 University
140 Adelaide

130 Glenelg
125 Woodville

Very interesting final round. Woodville and Glenelg with good wins on the weekend has kept the door ajar.

Key matches:
Adelaide vs Kensington at Glandore. It's in the Buffalos hands. A win and they're in. A loss and they're vulnerable.
University vs Woodville at Uni. Home final on offer for the Blacks. Finals berth possibly on offer for the Peckers. No Winter, no McInerney.
West Torrens vs Glenelg at Henley.

Will be interesting if Redbacks players will be allowed to play this Final Round. May depend on how they go this week in Tassie. They finish on Thursday if the game goes the distance, then their last game starts next Wednesday March 14 at Glenelg Oval.

Bowlers probably wont be allowed to play, but if the batters want a hit (like Lehmann yesterday for East Torrens), think they might play. Then Uni would have Weatherald and Woodville get McInerney back.

No Redbacks players will play in the Semi Finals the following weekend though.

Unlikely, but with Port and East Torrens within striking distance of 4th with an outright win, you’d think they’d set the game up from the start to get an outright result given they’re playing each other. Obviously need Adelaide, Woodville and Glenelg to lose also.

Can clubs do that?

Just say at the start of the game we'll go 47 overs each per innings.

Yes mate of course it can happen.

Would expect it this week too with teams chasing results.

Already started this week really with Uni and Port setting up an outright result.

Really hate how this is done and fake outrights are achieved, should be a way of teams only getting half points if doing this, or something like that.

Its why they have had One day matches to finish the season for last 8 years to stop teams doing it, see what happens this weekend!!

I don't mind finishing with a two dayer. Never made sense to pull out the coloured clothing, white ball and play a format that had already had its grand final as your preparation for two day finals.

However I think the 20/10 for an outright win is out of whack. C and D Grade is even worse with 15/10! Too much reward for 'declaration games,' games where one team is desperate and rolls the dice, or lower grade matches in particular against weak opposition.

Should be 20/5. Icing on the cake only.

Will be interesting to see how many Shield guys make themselves available this weekend.
By the looks of it there may be a few batsmen looking for a hit :lol: , would say the bowlers will have restrictions on them and have to play as batsmen.

Pipe down matey, your continual digs at TTG are getting boring and starting to carry zero substance. Concentrate a bit more on your own club champ or Grade cricket news and facts.

E2014 not to far off the mark usually.

Would be interesting if he has as they have some young quality players coming through and depth in 2nd Grade. Won 20/20 final and in semi finals of first grade. What is the point of developing players and then recruiting and not playing them :-?
