Re: Geelong Cricket Chat 09/10
The interesting one in GCA2 was Guild over Torquay. Even at Xmas Guild were tipped to not make it but keep winning and now have a finals berth stiched up. Torquay on the other hand looked the goods until Xmas but haven't won since. Yes Thomson's odds keep shortening all the time, but you never know. Someone could still have a golden run thru the finals like North Shore did last season.

Sths is looking okay and Geelong Wests was not too bad considering the rain we had on Thursday. Will be a few sticky's around for sure, depending on the covers each club has !!

Re: Geelong Cricket Chat 09/10
Renny, is it the wickets prepared in Div 2 which makes the low scores, or the bats are just not patient enough, or the bowlers are just better than the bats overall ?

Re: Geelong Cricket Chat 09/10
Generally it is the lack of patience from many teams' top orders. There have been some very good bowling performances this year in Div 2 and there has become a lot of bowlers who though not quick, bowl at a nagging length for most of the day. I wouldn't think there was anything wrong with the wickets. Save for a couple of the elite wickets in Div 1, most of the Div 2 wickets are on a par with Div 1. Thomson continually produce belters, Torquay's has been great and so too AT's. I have watched the last three games at St Peters and I think that maybe 140 has been the top score in the completed innings. The decks have been very good as AB1 will attest to; just batsmen getting themselves out. Torquay were 4/90 or something chasing 120 and lost 6 for not much to lose. Wickets not going to be playing dodgy right at the end of the day. The side's that knuckle down and bat tough and disciplined in the first hour are the ones that make good scores. There are no genuine quick bowlers in Div 2, batsmen generally get themselves out.

Re: Geelong Cricket Chat 09/10
I agree with most of what you say Renny, in regards to batsmen , but would say that pitches in Div 2, IMO, are far inferior to the Div 1 ones i have played on, with a couple of exceptions, Torquay and AT this year being the exception. It's not that they are bad or dangerous in Div 2, just inferior in pace, bounce and what i would call 'trueness'. South Barwon T20 pitch in JATA was better than any pitch in Div 2, even Torquay!!!!

Re: Geelong Cricket Chat 09/10
Depends on whether the 3-year rolling-average applies to the movement between GCA2 and GCA3. When the GCA brought in the assessment system, there was no GCA3 so don't know if it applies or whether they will go by assessment points for just 2009/10 only.
If the latter, probably Bell Park would most likely go down, on the basis they are well off the pace in the GCA2 club championship, which is worth nearly half the assessment points. Mind you, when we were playing NDSC in the 1sts yesterday, a few of their blokes were talking about it and were a bit concerned they might be in the firing line. Would have thought they and Guild Saints would have Bell Park covered though.
As GCA management has more or less decreed GCA2 is to be all turf, surely SABCC are certs to go up? Doubt anyone else in GCA3 will complain.

Re: Geelong Cricket Chat 09/10
I am pretty sure that is correct, the rolling average only applies to Division One. So does that mean Newcomb could be in trouble ? Or have they done enough to keep up ?

Re: Geelong Cricket Chat 09/10
They should be OK, just. I'd imagine they'll score at least the same in the off-field areas to Bell Park and do marginally better in the points derived from the club championship. Unless Bell Park can pull a few back in their games against Torquay and Marshall in the last 2 rounds. Just might mean there's a bit riding on the 1sts this Saturday when the Dragons resume on 4/46 (with Mick Brown yet to bat) chasing 109.
What about GCA1 relegation? I know it was a favourite (but factually incorrect) theme in the early days of this forum that City could never go down. So might they? Or Mano again? Or anyone else???
