Re: DVCA Juniors

Okay guys, I think we've all had enough of the arguing. If you can't keep it civil then don't post in this thread.

If you're not a DVCA junior player, don't post if you're going to bag the whole competition. That's a surefire way to earn yourself a week's holiday.

Now, let's get back to the cricket talk.

Re: DVCA Juniors

scratch that your probably correct, why dont you, moderator check the ip adress history of the other people who you claimed to be myself.
bagging is criticism mate its the same thing, either way your ability is being put down and thats life learn to cop it because not everyone will rate u as either a sportsman or a bloke so u gotta learn to cop it sometime, sooner the better.
syntho wickets were much better for a medium pacer like myself because movement off the seam was something i could produce very easily.
all weather pitches have deffs killed the local game as it encourages back foot shots off decent length deliveries which at any decent level will kill you.all weather pitches should be canned, disgrace to the local player as far as im concerned

I think they are great for local cricket as it provides variety, which as you say 'decent level' meaning district cricket you will get playing on turf. If you are able to play a back foot shot of a decent length delivery that is a sign of a good player. It does not kill you because I can guarantee you if you start playing district 1's and 2's all the balls you will get will be banging into the deck where you need to be able to punch of the back foot. People complain because its not a flat tack like the old syntho wickets, but in my eyes they are good for junior development.

Re: DVCA Juniors

Hmm pretty sure Andrew Sturgess is in love with Mitch Johnson.
Quite frankly, "the boy"/Mitch has never posted big scores against NEWCC, and backed that up with another blob this weekend. (went out to Nick Vlastuin, that makes me laugh).

You coming to the Twenty/20 tonight champ? Come say hello, tell us your name and I'll be able to make judgements on you. That is if I know who you are? Keep bad mouthing me mate, you play for North Eltham, probably in your thirds, enough said.

Re: DVCA Juniors

yeh true there a select few who could be playing a good district grade right now as an under 16, i would like to get "hows that" opinion and anyone else's, which players could do this?

I dont believe there is any that could be playing district 1's, but there are a few that could play district 2's, that doesn't mean they are going to be capable and make mountains of runs.

Ben Abbatangelo: playing in our 4's at the moment, but in only his first year of Premier Cricket so not known well around the club yet as far as his ability goes. Could play 2's, but with the shape the club is in with plenty of youth and tough selections it is hard for Ben to get up the grades.

Mitch Johnson: well I think everyone knows that I rate Mitch, technically sound which is half the issue when facing decent bowling. Can play of both the front and back foot, the only thing that will get him into trouble is he doesn't leave enough balls. Playing against better bowlers they will try and bore you out and will be more consistent, where as at 16's level you are bound to get 3 half volleys and a bouncer every over you face, even Barcaly shield you will get 3 boundary balls an over.

Mark Phelan: terrific technique, this kid will be a very good district 1's cricketer in a 5-6 years. Very compact, good hands nice and close to his body and plays very straight, which at district level you need to be able to drive straight back past the bowler rather than trying to hit through mid wicket if you want to succeed.

Tom Gilmore: I rate Tom, but not as highly as the other 3 simply because of his technique. His backlift strays a little out towards 3rd slip and gully, hence why he is so good of his legs, which he can get away with at local level but good bowlers with a bit of pace behind them will spot this straight away and work him out quickly. Don't get me wrong, good player, but wont be as good as the above 3 mentioned.

As for the bowlers, well I couldn't tell you. I was asked to give my opinion, so I did, so dont get on here and tee off because I'm just giving an opinion.

Twenty/20 tonight at Binnak Park, 5:15 start, Dragons vs Demons. Will be good spectacle, big crowd and watch some good cricket. Come say hello.

Re: DVCA Juniors

Mitch Johnson is a very good cricketer.
Hopefully will hit some runs in Dowling Shield and that will help in his state trials campaign.
Carn Tigez, how many hundreds you hit?????

Re: DVCA Juniors

I see my man Bradley Gedge got nomitated to try out for the DVCA. Another underated player goes by the name of Alex Cotter, he bowls some handy leg spinners. Thoughts?

Re: DVCA Juniors

Jack reid being rated is the most ridiculous thing ive ever heard. Surely there are better bowlers in this region than him!
He is a joke he bowls so wide u cant hit the ball. some will say he bowls tidy, i would say he bowls so wide you have to have a dip because no umpire is going to call wides.
Getting wickets off rubish deliveries doesnt make you good, just ask rhys dudley.
One of the worst bowlers to roll his arm over for the creek and ends up taking 35 wickets in two seasons.
Shit gets wickets boys, but shit doesnt get wickets in dowling, shit gets slaughtered for 4 mostly and if they are good than 6.
And tom gilmore will be captain no doubt about it, best bat, smartest cricketer. will have a ripper carnie.
xxx

dudly your a joke mate?
everyone knows that jack reid is an excellent bowler that could bowl you out time and time again?

Really? Well you would know what your talking about, I maybe think on the extra new ones, that they have just a tad too much bounce.

this is the biggest load of crap ive ever heard. tom gilmore is a gun, id back him against almost anyone. ive never seen the others play but to mention 'local level' as if to put it down then you have tunnel vision mate. mitch johnson has made 3 tonnes if i have read right. a tonne is a tonne but in the under 16s teams almost bowl every bowler if not all therefore wouldnt say that its that hard to make them in that grade especially if you have talent. however, tom plays A grade for a reasonable club in research and has made several starts. i doubt the others play A grade for there club or have made starts if they have. get your head out of your arse and until the other blokes actually have made runs in 'good standard' of cricket, such as district and barclay shield then buzz off. also to say that in barclay shield you get 3 boundary balls an over you have got to be kidding yourself! have a hit in A grade and see how many you go, just look at arnberger, gun turf and state cricketer, cant adjust quick enough to make a run in local cricket. get ya hand off it
