Alberton second innings
L.Toner c Norquay b Brew 3
S.Petitt c Daniel b Brew 7
J.Daff lbw b Mallett 13
S.Kohlman b Mallett 9
S.Smith b Mallett 0
C.Earls lbw b Mallett 0
D.Rash b Mallett 1
G.Underwood not out 4
J.Swift b Smith 0
T.Vardy lbw b Smith 0
T.Dillon stpd Daniel b Drew 3
Sundries (2)
Total 42
Fall: 5, 15, 28, 28, 28, 32, 35, 39, 39.
Bowling: D.Gray 6-0-0-13; O.Brew 6-3-2-5; J.Mallett 6-6-5-0;
T.Ludbey 6-0-0-20; T.Smith 2-1-2-3; T.Drew 1.4-1-1-0.

That is some fair figures for a country week carnival.

I am hearing the GCA are still discussing staging a 20/20 comp this year of some sort. I suppose we will just have to wait and see. As we all know, the GCA are never in a hurry to make a positive decision.

GCA meeting tonight. Lets hope they can decide on something. Platypus or Kookaburra Balls on the agenda aswell I believe

They are a much better ball aren't they. May cost a little bit more but would be worth it.

Think cost is the issue, the GCA get a pretty good deal going with Platypus.
Having said that i think most of the players would prefer to use the Kookaburra, so maybe they will spend a little more $.

ok, which clubs think that we should be having some kind of T20 competition this season. Pretty much it would be held at the 1st XI level (sorry The Butcher, not to down grade the other grades !) and maybe at a knockout comp level. Not sure if Cricket Victoria are having the T20 statewide comp again, but the winner would progress to that stage, or the top two ?? Anyway, it is time we get fair dinkum about this and discuss how it can move forward in a professional manner. I reckon Smokin Joe will have some good ideas in this area.@|

it's more difficult to organise than you think. The VCA had a bit of difficulty, and initially, clubs weren't that keen, but you look at the competition now, and it's flying. My belief would be to invite all clubs with a cut off date, then regionalise into groups of 3/4 dependant on how many clubs confirm. Hopefully it's easy enough to get into 4 groups, and the winner of each plays in a sunday finals day! Too easy. That ok Mr IPL?

I think that is a good idea :)
I however disagree when you say it would be hard to organise, i think it would be quite easy.

I didn't say difficult, just harder than you imagine. Politics are difficult things to plough through Mr Rissole, and there is plenty of it in the GCA....

Having played a lot of cricket with Kookaburra balls, there is no doubt they are well and truly worth the extra $. They will improve the standard of cricket by allowing those bowlers to have the ability to use it, an opportunity to be more competitive on flat tracks. The balls last longer, stay harder longer, maintain their shine longer and move in the air more. If the gca is serious about cricket, they need to make the change. Interesting why they use kooka's in country week not platypus.

Well we could always give the GCA the flick and have a rebel 20/20 league?

Maybe some-one should join up as GCA-ICL ;)

It will also help the batsmen with the ball staying harder for longer it will come of the bat alot better, as apposed to overs 50 + where it is like playing with a tennis ball!

Any news that would interest us?

I think the meeting, well I hope the meeting was a GCA management member only meeting, otherwise South Barwon will have lost 1 assessment point !!

Loftus, Talarico, Koliba, B.Haunstein and Smiljanic.
Who'd be the first keeper picked?

Anderson from NDCC, fairly aggressive batsman would be one of the top t20 keeper batsman.

That's the one i was thinking about aswell. Is he a better keeper then O'Leary from St Albans?
How would Quick go in the field?

thommy_rissole;232857 said:
Yes fair point about ladder positions from the previous year :)
Umpiring ourselves was just said as an idea to:

a) make it easier to organise
eg: won't have to tell them when they are required mid-week

b) cost effective
eg: won't have to pay subs to play as we won't be paying umpires

but yes i understand your points :)

UMPIRING OURSELVES??

Yeh cant wait to play east belmont with them umpiring themselves... Its pretty disgraceful the stuff that goes on with some teams in lower grades-- imagine when they have a shed load to play for in the final game of the 1's season!

Ando for 2 overs of fire and anger at the start, and 2 or tripe at the end!
Breuer as my keeper to come in at 3 and smash his decade average of 12 off 4 balls...

Heard this morning from reliable source that Nick Jarvis from City will be training with Waurn Ponds.
 
Re: Geelong Cricket '08/'09(gca/bpca)

I would definitely have Salts in my team, bowls handy offies and can smash it a mile, good in the field also. I'm bias because i play with him every week but he would be great in 20/20!

Jarvis is City through and through. I find this very hard to believe. Almost impossible. But stranger things have happened.

Would have thought the Skenes and D Port were City through and through at one stage also...
