    DVCA Barclay Shield 2020/21

    Good addition if true. What does this mean for Eltham? Falling further away from the pack

    DVCA Off-Season 202021

    How would a women’s competition work in DV do you think? Personally I wouldn’t care if it happened or didn’t happen, but I think it would be great for clubs to possibly connect with their football counterparts and speak to the girls playing football to continue playing cricket there as well. I...

    DVCA Off-Season 202021

    It is an interesting set up at Epping I guess. At the end of the day though, it was only a one day comp this year. DC, Epping, Heidelberg and Lower all failed to make finals. Possibly just didn’t suit the format. Do they all bounce back? I think so.

    DVCA Off-Season 202021

    Well what a great finish to the season. Don’t think too many would have picked NEW & RES to win their respective grades. It was a shame to see Bundoora Park collapse like they did yesterday as well, hopefully they can come back stronger next season. I was able to see the end of the Barclay...

    Dvca - How Do We Make It Better?

    I think you’re right with the lunches. Very rarely are you going to find a club that does them good these days.

    Dvca - How Do We Make It Better?

    I’m not sure on the rules with the field, but sometimes I noticed the second team bowling would just put 5 out right away.. would think that is something that needs to be looked at. Saying that, when you don’t have official umpires little things like that would go unnoticed. Agree with shield...

    Dvca - How Do We Make It Better?

    Personally don’t like the preliminary final weekend. Hopefully back to sudden death semi finals next year. Will be interesting how the season looks. A few guys I have spoken to were all for one day cricket at the start of the year, but by the end of it preferred the 2 day format. Where do your...

    Dvca - How Do We Make It Better?

    The aspect I like about it is the team would remain the exact same as the day before. I just noticed there was no reserve day for north metro.. or were the grounds under water and couldn’t be used? Odd I thought.

    Dvca - How Do We Make It Better?

    Moving away from the BYO chat. How does everyone feel about the games continuing on tomorrow after the rain today? There’s a little bit of me that wanted them to start again. But will be interesting to see how they go

    DVCA Money Shield 2020/21

    It’s a tight ladder... I’m picking LS, REC, BU, MONT I think Bundoora Park miss out and drop both games this weekend.

    DVCA Barclay Shield 2020/21

    Well some more upsets around. Some belters this week as well Diamond Creek to be too experienced for Banyule Game of the round here. Plenty in good form lately. Lower have a couple of batsmen showing some good form and seem to have probably the better bowling line up on paper statistically.. so...

    DVCA Barclay Shield 2020/21

    Some very good games again this week! this season is really interesting. Got down to the Banyule game and Plenty game last week. A small hiccup for the youngsters at Banyule, they’ll bounce back this week. But NEW are in red hot form themselves! Home team wins just I think. Riverside to be...

    DVCA Barclay Shield 2020/21

    Some great games this week. Rosanna and Heidelberg both 2-0.. Heidelberg at home though. Riverside should be able to get over Lower who just don’t seem to have the depth. North Eltham & Epping.. North are so far the surprise packet for me. Great balance. Eppings stars haven’t performed so far. I...

    DVCA Barclay Shield 2020/21

    You actually raise a very good point here. Kids do have a smaller attention span these days... But kids won’t be batting every third week, that is what training is for and they can go to training and bat there, clubs should have coaches who emphasise batting time for 2 day cricket

    If the first rounds action is anything to be based off, we are in for a thumping good season. 13 more weeks of this. One day cricket, anything can happen
