Well then how come this was the only ground in the area to have the game called off? ECA seem to be in love with North Balwyn, i look forward to the Skevs Vs North match this season. Who knows how many international players they will have then.

I think it would of been very harsh on North Balwyn to lose that game because of a council error.

If they had done it on purpose they would of been very stupid.

We'll never know if they would got the 107 runs with 9 wickets left. Fernando was out.......

Ugly Sister, are you of the opinion that St Kevs are still bitter about it and likely to get stuck into this young North Balwyn side?

It wasn't NB's fault at all. Council clearly made the mistake and admitted to the error. Many of the boys wanted to move the game but nothing could be arranged. Would be very surprised if Nb didn't get the runs even though Fernando was out, they still batted very deep as shown the following week v Canterbury in the GF chasing 200+ and having a 40+ run unbeaten last stand.

And whilst we're on the topic of North Balwyn, I did a bit of "mycricketing" myself and John Howell's stats are very ordinary at senior level.

Boys, I'll give you a little bit of advice, if you are going to talk the talk then you have to do the walking too.

Not sure how you come to this conclusion but each to their own. One of 'international' players has now settled in well into Australia and is now regarded as local. Should we deprive giving young english cricketers and so on a chance to work on their skills abroad. I think Neil Baker would agree that he was given a fantastic opportunity to play over here.
Howelly may not have the runs on the board but he is a quality bowler if his body holds up. We all know that some people can get a lot of cheap wickets and some can be made to work very hard. I feel that John has worked very hard and with another year of maturity under his belt should do very well this season.

I would say I don't know anybody from StK or Mulg on a first name basis. Have rarely played either club and wouldn't know any player if they walked past me so I am going to say you are not actually from these clubs...

Very true Sachin however Canterbury had also scored 267 on that wicket at Bulleen so you could say it was a good deck. Whereas on a wet Bull the 123 St Kevs got could of been a challenging score.
