Cricket Albury/wodonga (caw)

Re: Cricket Albury/wodonga (caw)

What would you prefer midget, to go up and get belted like you and MtBeauty did, i think i'd prefer another flag. And you're pretty quick to criticise, there has been no talk whatsoever about not going up!

As for having a crack at New City, well actually you were probably having a dig at Tiny. At least they were still playing at that stage of the year and not sitting on the sidelines, like yourself, wondering what could've been.

If you're not currently involved with Baranduda you should head out there, you'd fit right in, i mean what sort of 'winners' sing a song after they get done.

New City would want to improve their fielding if they are going to improve next year, from what i witnessed, they were terrible, cost themselves probably 30 runs due to their slowness, & add another 30 runs to some bizarre field placings. They had an opportunity to win, but some poor planning & execution meant they didn't give themselves a chance.

No surprise to see Dederang out, their batting was always going to be their achilles heal, especially against Yack who have a pretty good bowling line up, & managed to scramble enough runs to defend. Expect to see yack go back to back, & then refuse to get promoted again.

Tallangatta & East will be a cracker. Not in the least surprised that Tallangatta beat North Albury, & they have the firepower to beat East this week as well. East will start deseved favourites, & really should win, however i can see Woody knocking Peebo over in the first over, & that will mean East don't get off to a flyer. The respective opening batsmen hold the key to this match. i reckon Tallangatta might sneak home.

You can't comment on them because you weren't there but it looks like they've been paid in hamburgers, good one. Shows how much you actually know nev! Schliebs is a hot dog man and has absolutely no intention of returning to Kiewa. Having said that, heard the 'RANGA' does a nice chicken roll!

Yes mate i have been told that New City are and were terrible in the field but i geuss thats what you get with half the side being over 34!!

Can't comment on thier field placings as i wasn't there but i will add that they certainly didin't score enough runs to deserve to win the game! By the looks of Schliebs and Bailey New City must have paid them in hamburgers for the year.........might be best to oofer them salads next year if they stick around!!!
I've heard they could be heading back to Kiewa.

Well done to both Yack and East Albury who were deserved winners. if Yack refuse to go up they need to be kicked out of the competition, CAW need to get hard on this promotion/Relegation thing if it is to work!

The silly season should be at least 4-5 months away but already there are rumours of players leaving clubs for other clubs etc.

is it true that Dederang can expect Rod Barton there next year?? Someone out that way must have found another money bag!! Also heard 3-4 North Albury blokes will be heading out (or back) to Howlong!!

I will be interested to see how this forum goes over winter, for now this is the last you will hear from me, again well done to all who won flags this year.

What the fu*k are you on about skippy...?
I wasn't wondering what could have been, i was offering my opinion on a couple of games. Am i not allowed to have an opinion on a public forum...imbecile.
As for your statement 'go up & get belted', well i reckon we were more than competitive in most games, & with a bit of luck, would have played finals. Well done on winning the flag again, if you're with Yack, but if you were fair dinkum you wouldn't have stayed in "the little league" last year. Hope you do have a crack this year, be interesting to see how you go.

Re: Cricket Albury/wodonga (caw)

Keep it nice fellas.

I don't know about referring to District as "little league", from what i have seen this year the standard in provincial isn't that great! The only difference from the top provincial sides is that they have 2-3 star players that district clubs lack. I believe that if the district sides take thier cricket a bit more seriously by learning to bowl a tighter line and length and valuing thier wicket then they would push alot of provincial teams unfortunately though these clubs put having a good time before playing good consistent cricket....i geuss you could say some professionalism is required!

Maybe in the next 2-3 years as we see teams filter thru Provincial and into District this "professionalism" i talk about will flow into District making our collective competition a strong one, all we need now is for the Border Mail and TV to give District the time that provincial gets and then we will have a competition with great interest. I can't wait to see a Lavy or Nth Albury get relegated, that certainly would test the character of those clubs

Did hear an interseting one a coupla weeks ago.
Wodonga had told CAW they would be asking to enter The Wang.comp if they were to be relegated.
Not sure if this is fact but i spose thats what these forums are for.

Don't know about that rumour but i was reading the Border Cricket thread on Big Footy today (it's Dederang free!) that Wodonga was looking at a merger/takeover with West Wodonga. Heard Wodonga proposed that before the start of last season with the Provincial sides called Wodonga Bulldogs and the District sides Wodonga Warriors. Would have been interesting if Wodonga had been relegated though

well the merger looks like a goer as i have been told.it ain't a takeover ..it will benefit cricket for many players from both teams.the warriors name will be around so will most of the players.the warriors don't have any nets as the council played them for to many years and in the end the nets got knocked down.it will interesting to see how things pan out.not much else going on....i see the dedrang guys have dropped off......keep this thread alive with rumors please...good or bad.....@|

Re: Cricket Albury/wodonga (caw)

Good to see WWW and Raiders come too an agreement.
On the flipside though is the fact that in 2 years of CAW we have lost 2 district teams,Eskdale and now WWW.
I will agree that WWW are not lost entirely but i think its a shame that clubs are falling over,who will be next to go?
You can bet your balls it wont be a club in provincial.
Anyone else got any thoughts onb this matter.

i agree there IHM eskdale did struggle for a couple of years before they folded due to there kids moving away.its weird how they such a successsful footy club and the cricket club has disappeared.bethanga have done well over the years and are still alive but for how long???? district comp does need more teams but caw should look at other leagues and approach teams to join and not let new teams form.if jindera come in thats good and will build caw up more.

lets see how the merger goes.and hopefully both clubs are the winners of such a bold move.and fock the council for there bullsh1t attitude towards the warriors over the past 5 years.

Re: Cricket Albury/wodonga (caw)

I see on the Border Cricket site that Josh Beard is coaching Baranduda this season.
