yeah we had a high scoring game with you boys. your batting was much better than your bowling. have you recruited any bowlers or just relying on the keeper to roll the arm over!

There may be a possible few guest appearances from a Burwood legend, but have have Andrew Male returning to strengthen the batting further. Bowl for run outs is the plan!

I just hope Heathmont arn't the North Balwyn of A Turf....trying to build a Premiership around the under 16's?

Terry, lets be serious here mate. If any other ECA club has retained bigger junior names then north balwyn you'd surprise me. Richo, you might have mis read my earlier statement "duped" not "dumped". That Sachin guy is a team mate of mine, he ****ed me up.

Toady, I think the big question is will the "big" names return when they don't make it at Premier Level?

Obviously, names like the o'connels, holt, brandon-jones, hutton, hickey, kiely, elsmore, howsam would all be excellent additions to the club. However, Gairns, O'neil, Howell, T Fahey, J Fahey and the Smith/Cohen brothers do the club justice for now.
If those "big names" come back, they'll be competing with hopefully "bigger" names on the ECA scene.
Apparently the under 19 league is back up and running, with clubs supposedly being able to play 2 over age players. I'd feel sorry for opposition teams with the rotation of some of those names mentioned above.
Terry, if you have anything to add?

I think it is fantastic that through a number of factors all those guys put down North Balwyn as their "junior club".

Personally I think it was a shame that a number of those lads went to play District 3's and 4's very early rather than going on the back of some strong performances for NB.

How comes you guys had such a shocker against Boronia in the 19's final last year?
 
Re: Eastern Cricket Association 2010/11

under 19s grand final was lost because of our captain elliot forbes he single handedly brought our team down

The competition was taken as a joke last year.
Howell tore a hamstring the week prior so couldn't play, Fahey had no sleep and was in a drunken stupour, 2 other key players couldn't play (wong and beetham).
The approach given last year was "experience for juniors looking to play turf cricket". Hopefully it impacted some of the players. This year, North Balwyn will go out to try to continue its domination of ECA junior cricket.
In fairness to Boronia they were far more committed, didn't play great cricket though.

Well I do admire teams going for youth and we are like them. Clubs that use district players as a retirement league I really don't like.

Thats a fair point toady about the number of players that go to district. We too have lost a few but I believe there are still a number of good ones still here.

Most don't go to private schools so they can play on Saturdays all season unlike you well off lads in the inner east!!!

All this talk about Andrew Male, TT. Do you honestly think he will make all the difference to Burwood??

I'm willing to put serious coin on with you TT that we will finish higher than you!!
 
Re: Eastern Cricket Association 2010/11

Really, guys, who cares about Nth Balwyn. They avoided the bullets last year, but A grade is just a matter of time.

If anybody else was at the ECA presentation night for the 08/09 season, Dean Jones spoke about how he was the last ECA player to go on to play for Australia. Naturally he headed straight to district cricket, but they were different times. The ECA needs to find a way to entice younger players into sticking around with the local clubs.
Richo, Burwood are the force to be reakoned with this year in A turf. How do Marcellin travel down there with the donellan brothers?

Maley scored score 350 runs @ 50 when Burwood got relegated from Dunstan in 08/09.
It may take him some time to get going after a year out, but I'm confident he'll do the business.

Heathmont may finish above Burwood. Hopefully your captain has learnt how to set a field by now.
