I originally joined this forum a few years ago, when intelligent people actually shared insightful comments, and much of it was done in a humorous way, (hence the "Darth Vadar" nickname , chosen because Krepapas reckoned Tracy Village was the Death Star). But like Michael Pearson, I'm not...

Re: Darwin & District Cricket - 2010 I thought we had the best team we had ever assembled at this club, (I still do). And we were beaten by a better team on the weekend... I just want to congratulate Darwin for beating us fair and square, and Nightcliff for being the other finalist which...

Re: Darwin & District Cricket - 2010 Jack, Jack, You've gotta remember that when you put something on the net it is in the public forum. That means you are wide open for legal action if you publish something that may be considered defamatory. And I find the suggestions you have made...

Re: Darwin & District Cricket - 2010 Niether Captain of either side did such a thing and you guys are dreaming if you think anybody can force a opposition side or an umpire to play on an unfit surface. Nor was any attempt made to sway anybody. What we did was all pitch in from 8am...

Re: Darwin & District Cricket - 2010 You might just be mistaken because you seem to be placing a whole lot of emphasis and deciding a whole lot of things based on missing one welcoming reception. That's pretty small thinking... I don't agree with you OMGTC, but that's ok. I didn't...

Re: Darwin & District Cricket - 2010 OK, I couldn't attend. I would loved to have attended and shown my support, but I had other duties that night. I will show my personal support by attending the matches this weekend at TIO, and I hope the wider cricket fraternity do too. First...

Re: Darwin & District Cricket - 2010 Goodness my friend, are you feeling the pressure of not controlling your destiny this round? If you had thought about it a bit longer you might realise that we do more to get first class cricket up here than most clubs, (see recent Feast). We...

Re: Darwin & District Cricket - 2010 You really seem to have Tracy Village on your mind a lot Random, (which is what we like to see!). Are you brave enough to declare which club you hail from? Perhaps you should come across to the Death Star next year and satisfy that burning envy.;)

Re: Darwin & District Cricket - 2010 I'm sure other dedicated players/officials at other clubs would have chosen training last night too. Nothing wrong with that almost on the eve of the finals and I'm surprised that raises any eyebrows... You need to learn to spell Mr. Random, and...

Re: Darwin & District Cricket - 2010 Nope. Gee, I wonder where everyone was between 5-7.30pm last night... Incredibly poor timing with finals looming.

Re: Darwin & District Cricket - 2010 You'd better hope not or the disharmony and leaks in the NCC ship might be worse than we already knew! No, this is not Wikileak, and I am not a Tiger in Darth clothing. Loyal Villager with contacts, but I thought everyone knew about the departures...

Re: Darwin & District Cricket - 2010 Yeah, but none of their games in A or B against TVCC eh Turk?! I hear Kuru and Bracewell are definitely not coming back, De Terte has personal issues and may even be leaving town, Devine has the plague and is deathly ill, and it goes on... I'm...

Re: Darwin & District Cricket - 2010 Maybe you should learn to hit the ball a little harder. The 21 boundaries in your teams innings suggests it wasn't too hard to reach the fence. Game on with the Club Championship this round old mate! Just 25 points in it... Don't stumble Tigers...

Re: Darwin & District Cricket - 2010 Yeah. After 60 overs for little more than 100 runs my mind had switched off and still hasn't come back to normal. Darwin B Grade's paralysingly slow run rate was one of the most boring days cricket I have ever watched. Absolute rubbish. Bring back...

Re: Darwin & District Cricket - 2010 True enough, "young" Pup bowled from both ends seemingly most of the day and slept like a log that night I bet! Must be something about playing Nightcliff that brings out the competitiveness in him! I saw that NC D Grade are still undefeated after...

Re: Darwin & District Cricket - 2010 I can't remember a more interesting lead up to the finals for a fair while. Even TV and NC could mathematically crash out of the four and PINT always make a late run with usually great effect. We'll know a lot more after this round I guess...

Re: Darwin & District Cricket - 2010 "TV maybe due for a failure".... Come on Jack, maybe due for 600 too after scores of 400+ and 500+ in the last two outings! You're not trying some mind games already are you? Should be a great game as you seem to be in a bit of form and Turk owes us...

Re: Darwin & District Cricket - 2010 How do you know it was a good wicket? Did the other lads who batted on it for more than a few minutes tell you about it? Love ya brother! I still want you to take my money!

Re: Darwin & District Cricket - 2010 How do you know it was a good wicket? Did the other lads who batted on it for more than a few minutes tell you about it? Love ya brother!

Re: Darwin & District Cricket - 2010 I agree, (well, I hope so anyway), but I wouldn't discount Palmy either. They've been ticking along nicely a bit under the radar. This years final series shapes to be one of the best in years I reckon. Some good players in all clubs means the chance for...
