I have heard a whisper that a left arm quick from nsw, Daniel McLaughlin, is coming to Darwin. Anyone heard anything about this? Perhaps one of the blokes Doolan is bringing with him?

Cool your jets fella. As Chips has said, a precedent has been set in the past. Let's not get all high and mighty because another club is struggling. I have been critical of Tracy previously on this site regards their views on player recruitment in the recent past but surely we don't want to...

Great for the comp. The 'c' grade cricketers need a bye in their draw.

Great start to the season for some and terrible for others depending which side of the scoreboard you stand. I can't remember a season where so many high scores have been tallied this early. Tells me that there is a fair gap between the top and bottom sides and/OR due to an early finish in wet...

Miller made a commitment for most of the year from memory and was therefore, in my opinion, a worthwhile player to have at Tahs and also the Darwin comp. It would be a shame to see other clubs prostitute themselves to individual player interests and take these blokes for a couple of weeks here...

It is nice that you realise that mentors can have an effect on a players development. To say that is the reason that Bell made Aussie Country XI is stretching to suit your argument. Surely his own abilities come into it a little????? Maybe you can go and make a cake with your wooden spoon and...

Let's not forget he set up the semi final against the minor premiers with 90 odd. I reckon he would have been happy with his choice given the option between clubs at the end of the day - wooden spoon vs premiers.

As with most seasons up here, could we place a bet that the teams that take the field for their clubs in the first couple of rounds will be vastly different to mid season. Clubs will either realise they desperately need players, can't resist and actually say No to players from down south or...

Do you think ALice Springs could beat the West Indies?

You blokes are incredible. There is no way that Districts would pay the sort of money that Chips is talking about. Pure scandal for the sake of it. And on that note Chips, stop talking up the prospects of players moving to Darwin to play and putting unnecessary pressure on them. There are very...

Lad, I seem to be picking on you a llittle and I don't mean to be but your comments are so ludicrous that I feel I need to. You don't play for the state you were born in, regardless of where you live, unless that State/Territory is particularly weak or short of players due to injury or other...

Good on the NT blokes in Adelaide doing well. I disagree with your comment about eligibility though. If we follow your thought process through, Phil Hughes would be ineligible to play for South Australia because there is no NSW in SA, Usman Kuwaja would be ineligible to play for QLD as there...

Yes, these blokes have performed all round duties this year. But not all of them have an argument to be even considered as an allrounder for the team of the year. I say Reichstein, Keen and Miller are no brainers. As for the others, well, they just had good seasons. Hanna taking 31 wickets - he...

Anyone prepared to make any grand judgements for this weeks finals?? Apparently the Flynn is very confident but word has it that his hammy won't stand up to the finals pressure that will be placed on it. This surprises me considering his physique... Are Palmerston and Waratahs going to field...

Stop picking holes in my team and name yours

I assume when you say "Cockley, Sheridan, Bracewell, Cowan, Paine, Doherty and Hill don't make the team" you actually mean "In my opinion, these players should not be in the team because..." I thought as part of a forum we were all able to have our say and didn't need to lodge our requests with...

Berry and Lavers definietely counted as locals. They have been associated with their clubs for a long period of time. I also count them as locals because they have given back to their club and also Darwin cricket in some way instead of just taking and then leaving. I thank you for the...

Import team of the last few years 1. B. Casson 2. M. Hill 3. E. Cowan 4. T. Paine 5. G. Manou 6. G. Mail 7. X. Doherty 8. D. Bracewell 9. W Sheridan 10. T Kelly 11. B Cockfield Feel free to help me out with any others or challenge who I have here. I'm more interested in only playing players...

It's coming to the business end of the season people and now is the time to watch who the real teams are. Palmy and Tahs having what many predict to be the Grand Final face off. Darwin and Tracey playing in a big match that could well determine the make up of the top 4. If Darwin win they pretty...

I've had my ear to the ground lately and the word is that Jack Flynn has devised an ingenious way of manicuring the wickets at Marrara - he is using a vacuum cleaner. Perhaps it is like one of those Ghostbuster vacuums and he is trying to pick up the dirty shots from those Darwin boys to store...
