Re: Ballarat Cricket Association
All, new to this forum and the B.C.A, just a pondering after reading through the last few pages, id like an opinion on what i think may be in the interests of all for the betterment of the B.C.A. Please cast aside club loyalties, as i know and understand why certain people/clubs would be opposed to such a proposition.
My thoughts are on the grounds currently used in the B.C.A... Certain venues are far more suitable for 'A' grade cricket than others - east high instantly springs to mind, disgusting field and a wicket that is probably unfit for most leagues - Is it/has it ever been a consideration to stage the 'A' grade competition on the BEST AVAILABLE grounds, therefore taking precedence over all second XI cricket in the town. This would see grounds such as the eastern, northern, western, naps? ,city?, grammar no.2 being used exclusively week in week out by the first XI's. The result? Better cricket, played by the best selected for their respective sides on the best grounds, with the best wickets. This would also give second XI cricketers a greater incentive to press for first XI selection as it would be a clear statement from the B.C.A that first XI cricket takes precedence over all else.
Obviously i can see where this may fall down, i understand clubs have their home grounds and im sure sven, you see it as a privellage to walk onto the eastern every second round as a member of GPCC. Im not suggesting that clubs such as point or north lose the right to play on their home ground, i am however suggesting that for the betterment of ballarat cricket that grounds be 'shared' amoungst those with less fortunate arrangements.
Thoughts on the matter?
Oh and before i am beset upon for 'hiding' behind an alias.... the lads at east know who steggles is. Cheers

Re: Ballarat Cricket Association
Not only is B.Jones a great cricketer, he is one champion of a bloke. It is fair to say B.Jones was NOT the problem at Point. Lets see.....Great blokes, great cricketers recently finished at point...........
Obvioulsy B.Jones: as above
D.Klien: likewise, one heck of player, nice guy too boot
G.King: Top bloke, wouldnt be many people who spoke negatively of him, could play a bit too mind you.
N.Lee: similar moulds to the Kliens, and Kings in terms of personalities and abilities (fukn quick in his day).
M.Kelton, well probably no need to mention that he went alright on field, and off field, has been likened to the above mentioned four.
One would presume in some sort of capacity that the leadership on or off the field is not totally right somewhere for these guys to have enough reason to stop playing there.
Now I'm sure our resident posting pointies will jump on at some stage in defence of this, especially big guy (i'd love to slap a pineapple on it) as they seem to have some sort of defence anytime their beloved club is mentioned. But I dont care if you have been there 30 years or have been watching from the sidelines the last 3 weeks, to hear about these kind of departures, anyone would presume something aint right down at the Eastern oval!
Quick quick, cmon big guy, sven? Well the money is on big guy.......
P.S - B.Jones will make a fantastic captain at BRCC, have them back contesting the finals in no time.

Re: Ballarat Cricket Association
The BCA already have the option to schedule games wherever the match committee see fit. So no need to change anything. Its like anything else in this comp! They do what they want, when they want, without speaking to anyone. If the do ask the club's for some feedback (rare) they don't read the responses.
The only way that anything in this comp is going to change quickly is either.
1 - Board get overthrown - Unlikely to occur, not enough committed people.
2 - Clubs work together with either joint letters/recommendations, or set up their own meetings without the BCA - Enough crap goes on at clubs without have to go to another meeting.

Re: Ballarat Cricket Association
Im not completly sure with these explanations im sure sven or swards could confirm but kingy had stress fractures in his foot or something along those lines and couldnt play. Kelton is in melbourne because of work so cant commit himself. Neil retired and was only playing 3rds last year to play one season with his son and is now playing with dunnstown with work mates and is only playing a couple of games. not sure about klien though. all this was posted a long time ago. Maybe waka could sift through the 411 pages to tell us more as well @|Jedi9;207021 said:

Re: Ballarat Cricket Association
good onya wrighty old mate... a lot of people have spoken about this 4 years now.. its seems the best thing 4 a grade cricket to move forward.. i spoken to other captains and players and the concesus(hope i spelt that right) is that most clubs dont have a problem with sharing grounds.. east high and uni are not fit 4 a grade cricket.. obviously clubs like point and nth for example dont really care if it happens but there the first to complain when they play at east high etc.. i think point 2nds have played more games at eastern oval than the 1sts this year,that is a disgrace in my book. like u mentioned,the seconds should be striving to play a grade on the best grounds.. its up 2 clubs to get together with the bca and sort it out over the winter.. b4 people get on here and say the only reason im 4 it is because i play at east high every second week,when i played at north i wanted this to happen.. a grade cricket should be on the best grounds every week......its about time the bca got out of last century, cut off there porno moustaches and listen to what most people are asking 4... COMMON SENCE RONNY!!!!!!!!

Re: Ballarat Cricket Association
Jedi9,
Don't let facts get in the way of some sh#t stirring will you...
Let me help by setting a couple of things straight, oh and I'll make my allegances known and won't hide like a weak pr*ck behind a username.
I am a past player, president lifemember etc. of Golden Point and Kleiny was one of my best men at my wedding so I know a little about the situation of the guys mentioned above.
Glenn King retired, fitness was an issue, stress fractures, and had decided he would finish up. No problem there.
Neil Lee is an old man now, had his time, played a season with his brother and son and is now having fun playing with Dunnstown. No problem there. Oh he is also a life member of the club and probably the best I have seen.
Matt Kelton now lives in Point Cook and works for Costas, he was sick of travelling to and from Melbourne so he moved away. No problem there.
Dean Romeril left after two seasons, was mates with Kleiny and a couple of others including Kelton and when they left he returned to Hill. Ask him if he had a problem. I don't think so. Could be wrong.
Kleiny has recently had a son and he also has some issues with his back, was sick and tired of cricket and is happy in retirement, we plan to spend a fair bit of time fishing. No problem.
Each of these departures either singularly or combined do not point to leadership issues either at committee level or on the field.
If an individual like Jonesy isn't happy then it is probably for the best for all concerned that he left and good luck to him as well.
Now maybe you weak ar#eholes who are hiding behind usernames will show some guts and come clean with who you are before you crap on and spread rumours about other clubs, people and players. It's childish and quite cowardly.

Re: Ballarat Cricket Association
Good point from steggles. Seems to have been spoken about for years and interesting to hear someone new in the comp recognise this issue immediately. Classic case this weekend with first XI top of the table clash at East High while 2nds game on at Eastern Oval. If we measure success of Ballarat Cricket in part on Country Week results, we need to make a committment to getting our best players on best grounds, so they are getting quality preparation for the higher level.
Would be interested to know what the Point position statement is with this, and what the politics are of having other teams play on clubs allocated ground, ie. pitch preparation, use of facilities, etc.

North made 280odd against us today. Batted really well. Beaumont batted for 3 hours and got 78, Seb Oliver 48, couple of other contirbutions. On that deck with our batting line up the runs should be got.............we shall see.

Re: Ballarat Cricket Association
Point was sent in to bat at Darley. After loads of rain during the week the pitch played a bit slow. The ground itself has been "aerated" so it looked shocking. Point All out for 182, Darley 0-2 off 2 overs
