Re: Ballarat Cricket Association
having played under hammer and dash both at naps and for the rat, it would be sad to see them leave naps cos they have been such a massive help and has certainly seen my game improve and if clubs are smart and know what they are doing then it would be a smart move to try and get one if not both of them. They certainly know their stuff...

Re: Ballarat Cricket Association
I agree Potsy, a bit of banter is OK. But there is sledging, and sledging... Giving a bloke stick because he has no ability is one thing (and believe me I'm on the receiving end of a lot of that!), going on about his missus/kids is in my opinion bad form. Without naming names, some blokes should learn the difference I reckon.

Re: Ballarat Cricket Association
I'm with flyslip. OK to make comments about cricket ability and pressure, pressure, pressure in the game - eg. speed of scoring, pace of bowler, importance of game, etc. No room for comments about race, religion or personal / family matters. Just keep it about cricket.
I'm not keen on guys who haven't achieved anything in the game getting into players who have played plenty of 1sts cricket. Gotta earn respect and prove yourself first.

Re: Ballarat Cricket Association
Agree that 2 day cricket is the way to go. But only 3 one day matches seems like a waste. If you could squeeze a few more in it might make it real interesting with a few more rounds to be played. I realise Sat/Sun is not everyones idea of a good weekend, but what about 2 one day matches against different clubs in the same weekend? As for the three year rotational draw, who looks back to check that they have/ not played that team before. Don could be sitting in his office pre season and just allocating matches out..
In the lower grades however I can see the benefits of more one day matches. Especially in fourth XI with alot more juniors playing and a bit of hit and giggle.
The BCA either should read this site for the many suggestions to improve the game. Probably even better would be for individuals to take suggestions back to there clubs to lodge in writing.
Here is a start lets get a wish list happening:
20/20 comp over 2 Sundays - Great idea at least it gives each club the opportunity to compete with its best teams.
Reserve Days for 1st XI - Could live with that
Sat/Sun - One Day Matches
