Re: Ballarat Cricket Association
I think you'll find the clearance system is in place to protect the competition. The BCA wants a strong competitive environment and having the right to refuse a player from leaving helps to keep clubs competitive.
I think you'll find most players who want to leave and get a clearance knocked back will still play for their current club. Just because a player wants to change teams it doesn't mean he hates his old team that much that he wouldn't play at all. Most of his team mates would still be happy for him to play at the club too.

Re: Ballarat Cricket Association
Any truth to the rumour that Ricky Ponting has been seen talking to people at the lions? Could Hussey really be on his way to darley?! Has Muralitharan done a deal with the den?! Is anyone safe from the recruiting exploits of darley cricket club?!
Bloody hell, Darley sounds like it has 10 batsmen and 10 quicks driving 40 mins down the road everyweek...sounds like you're talking up what is essentially going to be no different to the side that performed below expectations last year...

Re: Ballarat Cricket Association
Rep Cricket:
Looks like you left out Dodd to open the bowling and bat at 3. Probably make him captain.
Who is coaching/ selecting the side this year? Are hammer and huntly doing again? I knowles had a good carnival but did his form warrant selection?
From the outside it looks like only one or two players selected on form. Two names unlucky from last year where White from point and Whinney from BRCC. Both had good years particularly before xmas when the teams seems to be picked.

Re: Ballarat Cricket Association
Yeah that's true. He had just started with a local building firm as a draftsman. First job after studies so you can't really say "Thanks for the job. I'm off to play cricket for a week."
And as far as clearing Pete goes, of course we would knock him back. He's a gun and we've put alot of effort into getting his action, body and head right and last year we reaped the benefits. I'm not too keen on doing all that and then watch him go to another club and blow sides away.

Re: Ballarat Cricket Association
It would seem I'm about a year late with this, but anyhoo.
It's a great pity that the BCA cannot send its best 15, picked through a combination of form, experience, reputation and ability to Melbourne Country Week each year. Work and other commitments (or lack of commitment in some cases) mean that a number of players either cannot afford to miss a week of work, cannot get time off work and/or can't be bothered.
The whole system of nominating yourself at the start of the season has sucked the prestige out of representing Ballarat in my opinion. And for years a lack of success has been blamed upon some of the best players not participating.
Give me a perfect world, where the best players are selected in a squad, the squad trains and plays a few practice matches together, and it becomes prestigious and elite to represent Ballarat again. Why not throw open the BCA coffers and compensate players $200 or so for missing the week's work ? The final squad of 15 would cost $3K per year, but it could make all the difference in ensuring that the best 15 are there flying the flag for Ballarat.

Re: Ballarat Cricket Association
League Knock-out Cup!
All 10 Team's are drawn out of a hat and compete for League Cup.
Name the Cup after a league legend.
Gives all sides in the competion something to play for even if their season isn't going to plan!
The Cup would only take up 5 Sunday's for the two teams that make the final and less for sides eliminated earlier.
Just imagine a 40-50 over Cup competition final held at the Eastern Oval a month or so before the GF!
I'm sure this would attract people to come and watch Ballarat Cricket and maybe even improve on the amount of people that watch the GF!
If done the right way it could be great for the BCA
What does everybody think???

Re: Ballarat Cricket Association
had an interesting conversation with pete huntly the other day. most people that have played cricket here over a number of years will know that hes a different cat, can be over the top in his enthusiasm but he has a genuine passion for the game, particuarly for the bca.
whilst his tenure at coronet ended a little sour, he did alot of good work for the club early on. then at east & naps has had great results & obviously last year with the rep team. told me that north have recruited a pom, as well as 4 - 6 other players & are hopeful of convincing hoppy to return. i have no doubt that he will in time turn them around.
the point of my post is this. pete had heard about this site, but had never bothered to read it. then, bored one day, he decided to, only to see his character & name been destroyed by some name-less people, that according to pete, wouldnt know the real truth, because more than likely, they are people that wouldnt have been involved at board level, coz they never get involved at board level, coz its easier to sit back, do nothing & then criticise.
now pete stated that personally he couldnt give a shit. but then the other day, one of his family members were confronted by someone the other day about the crap on here & how supposedly, he wrecked the club.
petes message is a simple one, mainly for napisan & the watcher. hes not a hard man to get in touch with, have the courage to give him a ring, disclose who you really are, & let him set the record straight.
now for cobbers piece, yippee, i get another pom to hang shit on during the season!!!!!!!!

Re: Ballarat Cricket Association
yeah fair call cobber. I probably shouldn't have been so specific and should have said the board and not the president. The result is still the same when you move from a good home base to a shit one its always going to be hard to build a good base of juniors. Its was a decision made the whole board and not one person but the result of that decision has proved wrong.

Re: Ballarat Cricket Association
I would have to think that this new pom will struggle. From what I have seen, when a team gets a player in from overseas, the player is talked up like they are going to take the competition by the short and curleys and show just how great they are. But when it comes to the end of the season, they have struggled and just been a bit player.

Re: Ballarat Cricket Association
whether the decision was right or wrong, its been 7 tears since pete was at the club. 7 years is long enough to fix the junior structure. 3 of those years have been at grammar, yet no grammar kids play at coronet, why? your current problems lie with the current board, not decisions made over 7 years ago. you have to be pro active recruiting kids, put proper coaches in place.

Re: Ballarat Cricket Association
The current board could be more pro active in juniors but the club was starting losing players and when it starts to spiral downhill it hard to turn things around.
I'm pretty sure there were multiple grammar students playing in our u16's last year.
The point i was making is that we lost our home base and the club has struggled in the juniors since then. If you live in mount clear and you are 12years old where would you play? Mt Clear . I am just saying we would have attracted a lot of Invermay kids to our club if we had of stayed out there.
At the moment young kids don't know we exist because we have a lack of identity which means its tough to find juniors and having a designated suburb to draw from is a big advantage.

The current board could be more pro active in juniors but the club was starting losing players and when it starts to spiral downhill it hard to turn things around.
I'm pretty sure there were multiple grammar students playing in our u16's last year.
The point i was making is that we lost our home base and the club has struggled in the juniors since then. If you live in mount clear and you are 12years old where would you play? Mt Clear . I am just saying we would have attracted a lot of Invermay kids to our club if we had of stayed out there.
At the moment young kids don't know we exist because we have a lack of identity which means its tough to find juniors and having a designated suburb to draw from is a big advantage.

pete huntly is a good bloke, will fix north & put more hours in coronet at a huge personal cost, so to suggest he would make decisions that would hurt the club is crap.
