Perhaps there are grounds not being used at the moment that could be upgraded to be suitable.

Bizarre really.

Was it too soon to add Rosbrook, Salm and Austin?!?

Great side, good to see they're mixed amongst the clubs too. Not doubting his class, but Allen's 25 runs @ 6, looks like the odd one out at the moment.

40000 Indian Rupee is about $850 aud. That's probably about right. And not too excessive.

I agree and disagree with this statement. Found training to be really good this year. After many many years of mediocre training. The difference is the off field set up. More coaches, and different coaches. Its hard to get the right candidates, as you need a of the experience, knowledge and...

Host of issues here I would have thought. Being: 1) How many people would actually play, 2) cannibalising people who would otherwise train during the week 3) increasing the burden on club volunteers. I think the issue you raise is an important one, just not sure that casual T20 would be the way...

Funny game cricket. At one point Rosanna were 1/98, Diamond Creek were 9/86 and won!

Absolutely no team is a lock. Riverside have recruited well, but if they play a side in the semi and that side puts on 100+ look out.

Would be a big pick up, if you can pick up a Grade cricketer as a walk in. Had a flick through the clearances and saw a guy who'd played a little bit of Canberra grade cricket. So maybe a little bit of mayo on that one?

And have half of Money shield play for nothing this year?? I think they've done it the correct way. Clubs have had plenty of time to plan for this. So bad luck. And the side that comes up, will find it harder than ever to stay up, if they're not good enough they'll go straight back down, the...

Thanks mate, I know the work it takes. My point simply being, subbies often get away week one. And you couldn't have hoped for much more accomodating weather in the lead up to Round 1, so, why will clubs struggle to get wickets up R1? And, things like football tenants going deep into finals...

That's fair enough though. Weather should at least be accommodating this week

What's been the problem at your club? Kick off only a day earlier than usual, and weather has been perfect for preparation! With an El Nino developing don't know if it'll be a good year for military mediums this year.

Do young students get enough exposure to cricket at schools?? Cricket Australia should be trying to get a cricket curriculum into schools, as part of P.E. for kids 9-12, and work with local clubs to try to link in milo and junior cricket. My dad was a reasonable cricketer, but my first...

My opinion, fwiw, a lot of sides on a hiding to nothing this year. The sides that could realistically win it will be maybe: NEW, Eltham, Lalor, Banyule or Heidelberg. The rest will be battling relegation. Whittlesea will come in and fill out one of those bottom 4 spots, with the other 3 up...

Don't really see the relevance of his injury to my post to be honest. Just trying to link the topic back to cricket, given that this is a cricket forum as opposed to a horse racing/owners forum.

Given the Greensborough link, and the fact that its a race horse, so you want it to be quick, I'd have thought "Hurricane Cunningham" would be a no brainer!

I agree for the most part. I think it's ok to go out and "buy" a cricketer, and I'm happy to see part of my money being spent on a coach and/or Captain. But get someone with a cricketing resume, who has performed consistently at a high level. The rest of us plonkers should be happy getting a...

South West looks so difficult this season. I would expect the winner to come from: Oakleigh, Caulfield or Ormond. Brighton will be dangerous with Rushworth (but would he be available all season? or need to report for county duties?) And Malvern with Jones and Wayne White (same issue as...
