Was a little surprised to read about the mixed response. Appreciate the concerns about cost. Cricket Australia and the...
In fairness, I'm sure they'll be ok.
The other thing I would say is it would be very hard to attract top talent to the club at the moment. The need to get their house in order before they're attractive to guys coming out of the district system or top subbies/local cricketers.
That's one interpretation of what might happen. Lets see what happens though. There's nothing wrong trialing it for a season.
Worried about it? Get a big set of covers that cover the entire wicket table and then some. Realistically here in Melbourne with a good set of covers you'll be unlucky...
Why would they want to do this? What you're advocating here is to essentially rename the Subbies in the South East.
Cricket Victoria is looking to do away with this concept not further entrench it. If people want to test themselves in a "Super League", they can go and test themselves at Premier...
Made half his runs in one knock (against one of the weaker teams). Can obviously bat, but inconsistent.
Aren't Whittlesea and LP in the same grade? Strange one.
Would be a huge pick up, have heard he's leaving his current club, and could just about name his price. Would be surprised if DCCC would fork for him though, when they don't need him!
The most a side has made against Diamond Creek this season is 6/150(cc) in a one day game, made by Riverside.
In two day cricket, no side has batted the day and the top score is 148 by Rosanna.
On a big ground, defending 180 in a grand final, they'd have to be paying $1.10 to win.
They've got...
I'd suggest Salm has justified his pay packet. 420 @ 38 and 28 wickets @ 12. Would have to go close in the medal. As you'd expect from a guy who was in last years Premier Team of the year.
Agree with your point that their side is unbalanced. I'll ignore the 20+ incorrect predictions of made...
Does it really matter though? Its just synthetic in the end. As long as the pitch is consistent, the players will be good enough to adapt. Diamond Creek won outright at Mernda this season.
I think the game should take place at Eltham, purely as a convenience factor for both sets of supporters...
Realistically, the captain and the coach have an obligation to know the rules. People on here realised that you can't contrive a result.
I think deducting the points for the match is punishment enough.
