Re: DVCA - C grade and below
The last thing I want to do for Brad's sake is air the dirty laundry of his club on here. All you Bundoora know-all's seem to dismiss most things I say but the mere fact you seem so aggressive when you reply to my posts show there is more than a touch of truth to them.
But of course Anthony, you know better, just as you do when you run everything at your club. The word Grant Thomas comes to mind actually.

Re: DVCA - C grade and below
The reason to this would probably be because of your racist comments made.

Racist? Go back to the juniors thread young fella and let the grown up's talk.
I'm pretty sure you'd just be a struggler in the lower grades anyway, either that or your president is holding you back.

Re: DVCA - C grade and below
I'll pay that young fella.. Maybe you are one of the young breed at your club that the likes of White, Pendlebury and Carland are holding back.
I'm sure once you grow you'll end up a big head like the rest of your senior club.

Re: DVCA - C grade and below

diamo's C grade team is very impressive, bowled good lines all day and also batted well. These guys will give bundoora a run for their money.

Re: DVCA - C grade and below
If you knew anything about Bundoora then you'd know you just took a pot shot at three highly regarded, well performed, greatly respected Bundoora people, all justifying their selection each week. But you wouldn't know that would you, because you are just 'C grade and below'. Best you find some common ground between your opinions and your ability.
Maybe you could also name your club?

Re: DVCA - C grade and below
I will try to calmy respond to you remarks and accusations. I have already responded to most of these comments you made on the Barclay Shield forum, but since you have lowered yourself down to the C grade forum then I will re-answer here.
My harsh responses might be because you keep on raising the same topic again and again - have you run out of ideas?
The President is appointed - by the members - to RUN the club. I am not sure how it is done at Lower but nearly all decisions at Bundoora are made in consultation with the general committee or at worst the executive committee. I make a point of ensuring everyone is filled in on what is going on and we vote accordingly. I do not make too many decisions without prior consultation unless the situation & urgency requires it.
Quite frankly I do not care what you think of how we run the club at Bundoora as it is the club members who matter.
If the members are not happy then they will tell me so. Not sure they will vote me out coz' no one else wants to do the work involved, but they will vote with their feet by stop turning up to functions, stop playing or stop coming to the club.
In all areas our numbers are up on previous years so if there is an underlying problem with the way I am running the club then it is not coming through from this end.
Sure there might be a few people not happy. You can never keep everyone happy and if i have only upset 2-3 out of a club with over 150 members then I am pretty happy with that. (maybe i am not trying hard enough)
If you know something and wish to share - but not publicly, then pls message me directly as you have done before.
As for Grant Thomas - last time I looked I was not the coach. I have not ever had any input into team selections. If you ask Brad, I am not even allowed into the meeting room when teams are discussed
As for recruits - Brad and the majority of senior players were all consulted on our potential recruits this season. We actually has trouble getting Dinesh back this year and it was the players who pushed the issue to get him. I am sure Lower would love him in their attack.
I drew the racist comments from the fact that you continually go on and on and on about the fact we have 'imports' playing for us. If you werent racist then you wouldn't comment as they would be just seen as another player.
What is the difference between paying someone from District level to play compared to a guy from Sri Lanka, Pakistan or even from a local area ?
If you are recruiting players from outside the club to come and play in your ones, you are doing it for the betterment and success of the side, and regardless of where they come from, they will hold back a local kid - just as you believe our 'imports' do.
If your club is fortunate enough to be able to grow and recruit from within then fantastic for you. There are a few clubs with strong growth areas such as Creek, Research, NEW etc... that can do this. Others are not so fortunate demographically so need to resort to other means.
Finally if you think i am holding someone back, then again i would like to think you are mistaken with your information. I would like to think I have earned and held my spot on performances (although my batting form sucks recently).
We have made an informal policy of having 4-5 senior heads (picked on performance) in each grade below A grade, and the balance made up of kids (also on performance).
For most of the year our B grade has had 4 blokes 30+ and 7 under 21, with 4 under 16.
You will find this ratio fairly common through the grades at the club.
There are a lot of clubs we have played this year with very similar ratios.
I think it is the right way to go.
No good playing all kids if (i) they are not yet ready or (ii) Play with no senior leadership around them.
B grade cricket is still a fairly good standard and is a significant jump up from C grade and in particular the junior comp.
So as for holding someone back - a kid no, another older senior - maybe.
As for Bundoora 'Know-alls' yes some of the kids comments are a little over the top sometimes ( 'orgasmic' - beamer please !!) but they are kids and this is a fun environment to make comments. It shouldnt be used to abuse or continually criticise players or clubs as some appear to do.
If you have a personal issue with me or the Bundoora Cricket club then please feel free to come over and discuss, but I am sure everyone, as i am, will be getting sick of seeing your continual borish comments about me and the club on this site.
Anyway - Good luck to Lower for the rest of the year. Gonna be a tight finish in the 1's and 2's for top 4 spots.
Prez Out!
