not sure of his name but a left hand seamer from Highton, only 17 i think.
thought he was the pick of the bowlers when we played them.
weird last name, moved it around a bit.

Jack Rodgers and Adam Bliss from the TCC to hopefully improve further on last season, both spent periods in the 1st XI last year and should be better for the experience. We played 11 players in the 1st XI last season who were under the age of 21.

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

now listen here guild cricket club, this is the type of shit were trying to get rid of either say something with meaning or you should piss off too.

just because your club will fold after this season don't get angry with everyone else, i mean the gca have already banked on this being the last season of guild.

what a shame it will be, will anyone even notice? you will win the gca3 flag though plenty of time celebrate at least

i can smell a war brewing.
in the red corner we have bringbackwarney.
in the blue corner GCC101

i want a clean smooth fight.
let's get it on!
ding ding.

Guild definitely outplayed us in the Semi-Final, credit to them.
We had our 2/3 of our best bowlers in K.Petterwood and J.Bosworth out injured but the replacements did a very good job, was Hinkleys first game in the 1sts and stood up, we were just generally outplayed over the weekend, but we have moved on and made the required signings to hopefully push further into the finals this season

If Timmy Nunn is back for the heads his a walk up start, class batter - i'd say equal to if not better than herbison and a great gloveman.

that could be your problem, kim petterwood being your top bowler. need to recruit bowlers. not poms that come over and make 250 for the year.

turned 21 just after the cricket grand final weekend.
not sure on his cricketing background, he managers the Sir Charles Darling, our major sponsor at Thomson and has come down and started to play with us as of after the spring carnival last season, bowls with a really heavy ball.
will be one to watch this year with a pre-season under his belt i would say, top fella with loads of potential.

ps nice recruit

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

that could be your problem, kim petterwood being your top bowler. need to recruit bowlers. not poms that come over and make 250 for the year.

it's been a while since you played there mate, each to their own opinion but i think you'll find if you have a read of the stats Kim was our most economical seam bowler and single handedly won us 2 games of his own bat at number 11. kettle posted 350 runs last season, davies the year before that was a shortened season, not sure of his stats, leech woulda been the one ur talking about, had a bad year at Thomson in Oz, did play a season of First grade in Sydney and holds Minor-County records for Cheshire, his the pick of those 3.
Bolger was a last minute choice, and Albert is all class.

as for recruiting bowlers, i disagree, rarely did we struggle to bowl teams out last season. got some youngsters coming thru aswell who will push for 1st XI this year. hopefully with our experience players staying fit and healthy we should have a formiddable attack.

 

[Grassroots Cricket]

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

The bottom three in the BPCA this year could well be the new 3 teams as well as wallington around there as well. i dont udnerstand making the comp bigger and the final six, and for the life of me why the final was out at anglesea last year, barwon heads ground, is in awesome condtion and is central for all viewers to come watch and the facilities are second to none.

are they playing for coin.. surely they wouldnt come out here and play for free would they

for starters, seen them all bat. no good. who cares what leech has done in sydney and cheshire, couldnt perform in gca. kettle posted 350, but how many tons and when you needed him, where was he? Bolger... JOKE, and davies cant remember to much about but thomson got relegated.

if you want to win a grand final, you will need bowlers. cant keep saying if bosworth and petterwood are fit, theyre never fit.
obviously smelly is goin to bowl a bit, and salts bowls himself all day. that wont be your answer.

yeah mate it was shite out there, even drysdale was superb use 2 be people everywhere, drysdale would be my 1st pick
i dont think there should be a home ground advantage in a gf, if drysdale made it then play at bh.

yeah it was better a few years ago with a top 4 and 10 teams, there going to ruin bpca cricket if they keep going.

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

Is there anything this bloke doesnt do... opens the bat.. can hit a ball
bowls a bit... and ive seen him with the gloves from time to time as well

i said leech struggled in GCA and that bolger was a last minute thing.
as for kettle standing up when we needed him, got 2 70odds and an 80not out and he was run out, courtesy of a bad decision in the Semi. scored the second most runs for us last season behind salts and we were very happy with his keeping.
Petterwood was fit all year when playing until a freak knee injury at training.
we know where were at wit Bosworth, only played a few games last season and when he played he was a handful for the batsmen in division2.

they prob said that about your bowling too Brett.
didn't you have a dustup with Leech?
think your forgetting its division2 cricket, differant ballgame. and by the sounds of it they have a few unknown youngsters knocking on the door, time will tell i guess.

anyways moving on...

any other teams getting an overseas player?
if so.. what standard/grade do they play?

ok i understand were your coming from. but....
Dean Riches took massive leaps forward last season and early doors in the season carried our seam attack.he should progress further this year
we do 4-5 16-21 year old seamers who are all a work in progress.
time will tell
