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

not gonna bang on about this at all, but if your still out there CHEETAHS2008, i hope you have learnt a valubale lesson in respect. you beat one team in a new comp and start boasting then follow it up with two dismal efforts, shut up you fool!!! your president has won my respect back but you my child are still a dick in my eyes.

 

[a for effort]

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)

thanks mate, yeh i reckon were in a good position. we just couldnt get lofty out, he batted real well. i bowled 17 on the trot in my first spell, im so screwed right now.

The pick of the bowlers yesterday mate i reckon... 4 fa 74 off 24 isnt a bad return for a part time bowler

daz.. unlukky on the duck.. agen.... how bout they do sumthing about ur order and bat the babies arm above u for a change

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

daz will always bat above me, he can bat. its handy at number 10 to come in at the 80th over when the team is 360.

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.

 

[Nothing To Loose]

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

Division 1 "Powerhouse" South Barwon are extremly cockey in not only winning the 20/20 competition, but also beating Division 3 "Rabble" Guild-St.Mary's.

Quotes from the South Barwon Coach
1) "I will retire if we loose to them"
2) "Hester bowls wrongen's, Blyth will pretend he is Matt Hayden, and Ando will raise his bat grip when he is going to hit sixes"

However after thinking about the comments and the "slim" chance the Powerhouse has of loosing he followed with this

3) "20/20 is a game of chance. All cricketers should be respected, except Justin Larkins"

A little change of tune, prehaps running scared

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

and 10 Century Makers so far...

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!

[Renny24]

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.

 

[ants14]

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

i saw that. and i thought i was tough to bowl 17 straight lol. hope he bowls 43 against us, we had no trouble with him last yr at all

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)

Does anyone think the GCA will follow the VCA on this | Victorian Premier Cricket? and if so what are peoples thoughts?
I think it could pose massive problems if they do.

 

[right arm medium]

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.

i personally dont see the sense in it as most if not all VCA grounds have exemptions for water. if the GCA did it, bye bye turf cricket, BPCA will be the strongest its ever been. Miller, ando, harps with the howlin wind on hard wicket. Me retire very quickly

I hope this kid can handle the bat after making public the comments by the Hornet after he has drank a few cans after his side makes a few runs on the Saturday and being in great spirits. Especially when he is a guest at South Barwon celebrating with his brother who made a 100 in the 5ths on the weekend for the Swans. All these comments were made along with the festivities of the night, and I do not think they are worthy of making public. Of course Guild has got nothing to loose and South Barwon has a lot to loose. This sort of comment being taken out of the arena it was meant for will do nothing more than make sure that the Swans will be focussed on the game. And as for Justin Larkin he has been a pretty good hard hitting batsmen over the number of years and would be suited to a T20 game if things went his way.

I don't see why you even need to defend what was said ipl, I mean who really cares if South are trying to take a enjoyable approach to the 20/20 game, people forget pretty quick that 5 year ago thats all it was at international level (remember Aust v NZ dressing up in old school kits and afros etc) Guild are a bunch of wanks and I hope you bowl them out for 10.

Since forever! Ask Geoffrey Boycott........

I can see your point Riss, but if you're not getting a bowl maybe it's time to take up off spin?

I just think if it is all one dayers then it shouldn't be with fielding restrictions and 10 overs per bowler in the league. The Cheshire County League system is pretty good, though I agree that the points system is over complicated

I'll start bowling some more when Salts retire's, shouldn't be too long now, getting pretty old in the tooth

The CCCL is ok, although the points system was developed by Nasa Scientists. I think if you go to 50 over matches you need to introduce ODI rules, 5 bowlers 10 each and fielding restrictions, power-plays would be to hard to police.

I just don't see why people aren't ready/happy to have a change.
