Re: Geelong Cricket '08/'09(gca/bpca)

If it is right there will surely be a write up in the "Gabbletiser" on Wednesday. Good chance it won't be a good write up but there just may be one.

Re: Geelong Cricket '08/'09(gca/bpca)

Those kind of things used to go in "Around the Wicket" on Wednesdays, but they seem to have scrapped it in favour of a token piece of Cats propaganda
 
Re: Geelong Cricket '08/'09(gca/bpca)

There could possibly be a bit to write about this round.

8/43 David Warnock Teesdale Division 3 2nds
7/17 Peter Litjens South Barwon Division 1 4ths
6/4 Thomas Baldock St Josephs Division 1 4ths
6/13 Steven McDonald Thomson Division 2 4ths
6/31 Jai Schmidt South Barwon Division 1 2nds
6/107 Mark Grant Geelong City Division 1 3rds

Could he possibly get a promotion or is he destined to be as his name suggests "2nd XI at Best"?

Would assume he'd be a starter in most other 1st XI's around Geelong?

Pretty hard to get in front of D & B Haunstein, B Anderton and Filthy Phil Hunt i would imagine.

Re: Geelong Cricket '08/'09(gca/bpca)

A few weeks ago the crappertiser was loudly boasting that they were voted "Best newspaper in Australia" or something similar. Upon closer inspection, turns out they had won the award for "Best country newspaper with a readership of less than 20,000 or something". If their heads are that far up in the clouds I don't think they would give two hoots if they lost the readership of a few hundred cricketers
 
Re: Geelong Cricket '08/'09(gca/bpca)

Surely people are having a laugh re one day cricket. 2 day cricket gives the younger guys a chance to show they can play. 2 dayers give guys like Becker Nguyen, Jarren Cook and Nat Blyth the chance to show they can play unlike one dayers where the established guys camp at the top of the order leaving the less experienced guys to try and smack a quick 20 odd at the end. The longer game is where you will find the next Loftus/Harper/Hauenstein, not the 50 over stuff
 
Re: Geelong Cricket '08/'09(gca/bpca)

lol!! i told you its more fun not knowing. i think ive heard you being called warney on the field but not sure, could have been any spin bowler. and vetran, well i thought you were the same guy as supersaintjohnny until i saw his pic in his avatar. i dont reall y know heaps of BPCA players that well.

Disagree with you there workinprogress.

Encourages bowlers to learn to ball tight during the middle overs and yorkers at the end of the innings, not with 30 overs of nothing in between (ie: overs 20-55 in a 2day game when nothing happens, batsmen push it around - go at 2 an over). 5 bowlers - 10 overs each will show the depth of the club and give these juniors a go.

Fielders are actually keen to field, first 15 field is up so you have to chase everything, last 10 plenty of oppurtunities for run-outs and saves in the field, more intensity.

Batters learn to pace an innings, maybe be a bit more aggressive at the start, control it through the middle then go again at the end. Batsman coming in at the end of an innings learn to come in and start scoring straight away and find ways to get the balls to the boundary, running between wickets improves.

Conditions for both teams are the same: wicket and weather.

And lastly but definitely not leastly you know driving to the game on a saturday that you won't have to field for 85 painful overs.

and not to mention South Barwon's GCA Division One 1st XI all time highest team score of 9/392 beating the previous best effort of 379 in the 1972 Grand Final against East Belmont. Sure glad Babies Arms hit those two sixes at the end of the innings to create a little bit of history !!

I actually disagree with you Rissole. I think you boys having a mix between 1 and 2 dayers is better than just having one dayers. Though I agree that 85 overs in the field is painful!

Also, how the hell did you learn the Cheshire County League rules so quickly? People have played in that league for 20 years plus and still don't know them (eg Hank Bolger). And I'm glad there isn't a restriction on overs per bowler in our league!
 
Re: Geelong Cricket '08/'09(gca/bpca)

There are many things to like about both 1 dayers and 2 dayers. As a bowler, 2 day cricket is better. Let's you get into a better rythem, experiment a bit and work from different angles to get a batsman out. Batsman get the chance to build an innings over a long period and even for those coming in late in the day, there is quite often the chance to bat for a long period. One dayers do encourage a quicker and often a more exciting game but more often than not, less people are involved. I do agree with Rissole though in the 85 over fielding issue. We play 1:15pm - 6:15pm with a 20 min break for 85 overs. Test cricket plays 11am-6ish for 90 overs. Two hours extra for only an extra 5 overs.

We need to encouarge people to play, not discourage. Standing in the sun with no hope of a bowl between 12:30 and 6:30 is the best way to turn someone of playing cricket. It is painfully boring, especially when the other team is going at 1.5 an over.

You think everyone gets involved in 2 day cricket? If you hadn't noticed its the same people scoring 100's and taking 5 for's everyweek, the good players will be the better players no matter what form of the game they are playing.

Why is batting for a long period ideal and since when has this been the case? Everyone makes a big deal about how 85 overs is the proper way to play cricket. Most young players i speak to bemoan 85 overs, in fact they hate it and by no means is it the fairest, 2 different days over a 7 day period... a lot can change. To many variables; wicket, weather, outfield. How can a mixture of both be fair? Why should St Joeys play Newcomb in a 2 day match yet South Barwon only get to play them in a 1 day match?

As for the rules in the Cheshire County League Bluey, our captain couldn't tell the difference between a stump and a bat so i had to intervene everynow and then.
 
Re: Geelong Cricket '08/'09(gca/bpca)

When in England it was all one day format. The weather makes it hard to operate in any other way. But the first experience that guys would get in any longer form of the game would be county seconds, where they move to 4 day cricket.
For the 5th XI, there was quite a debate about 2 day or 1 day cricket. In the end I think they got the 6 clubs required for 2 day cricket in the 5ths. Clubs do still want to play 2 day cricket, even at 5ths level.
Two day cricket has to stay, but having an even draw is important. Have to remember that each team plays 2 clubs twice. I think that is worse than the 1 day v 2 day games.
