Re: MMVCA General Cricket Chat 2009/10

Would be interesting to see how some of the clubs without juniors would go if they lost 10-15 1st and 2nd XI players.

Fair point only have 2 look @ top 5 on ladder. Good representation of juniors @ senior level in all grades.
Wests, Marys & Vales might have 1 or 2, others not quite sure about.

Easts/Heights - Heights 2 good, hopefully Donohue plays, wont make Easts win but will make them more competitive (must be a non cricket fan boss)

Glenroy/Wests - Glenroy comfortably

Vales/Marys - Vales get a couple back, drop this & season over

Socials/St.Francis - St.Francis going along nicely

Barkly/YCW - Hard 1, Barkly just

St.Andrews/Merlo - going on last week performance St.Andrews, good side Merlo maybe just a hickup last week

Re: MMVCA General Cricket Chat 2009/10

We have lost a total of nearly 30 players from across all sides from last year. We have gone from 7 sides a few years ago to struggling to fill 4 sides... With only 5 players from last years A Grade side still playing in the side and even less in the B Grade side it makes a huge difference to our performances. . While this is a good chance to blood some young up and coming players it is a big step from grades they were playing last year.But some of the older heads in the side need to step up a little as well and not leave it all up to 2 players to do the work..

Some clubs must have to ask what is going wrong with them for so many players to be leaving, there must be a reason. We have not lost any of note there will always be a few of the lower grade players turn over but the senior players all stay, and we have added 2 more junior sides with another 2 planed for next year. So what you have to do is have a good look at the committee maybe you need some younger views on it, maybe your club needs to spend a little time with the juniors, at training and going to watch them when they play. I know our juniors get at least 10 senior players there at each game, as we all know that they are our future and we need to give them all the encouragement we can. At junior training we have at 15 to 20 seniors there helping the kids in any way they can.

Has nothing to do with committee oranything like that. A couple have gone off to try at a higher level... no issues there..
Some have decided to just give cricket away.... lost the passion or missus won't let them play... on top of that we are a young club so schoolies, races etc have really taken a toll this year. From what i can gather no one has left on bad terms and will happily come back if they decide to play again. We are lucky we have a strong junior program as this is our future. Its hard for our seniors to make junior training sessions as most either work, at uni or are juniors themselves. What we really need is for players who have come through juniors to stay. Our problem is that we lack experienced 30 - 40 year olds through the grades..
Don't worry we will rebuild and be back.. plenty of talent coming through our juniors.

Re: MMVCA General Cricket Chat 2009/10

Right, let's get this cleared up once and for all. When you lot talk about the cricket it's generally good stuff, when you stray into tit for tat, name calling and personal arguments it's like looking after a bunch of primary school kids.

Leave out the crap and the mods will leave you alone, carry it on and action will be taken. Also, when bagging people I strongly suggest you think about what you post, especially when naming them directly. The law of defamation does exist and if anyone ever did decide to take action it would YOU not BigCricket in the mire.

I have no problem with people discussing performances and even highlighting mistakes but try to do so constructively. Certain people on here seem to have personal issues with others and see fit to air them in public, which is pretty pathetic. This is made even worse when they are using fake accounts or posting under another identity to back themselves up.

You all seem to moan about the quality of umpiring in the competition that you play in - do you honesty think that any would be umpire reading this would be keen to put his hand up and offer his services? No chance as they know that the first time they get something wrong a barrage of abuse would be flying their way from semi anonymous posters.

This thread is now opened but it is being watched. Zero tolerance for anyone stepping out of line, which means a straight 7 day ban.

I hope when you are discussing "fake accounts" and "posting under another identity" you were not referring to me, as my account details are 100% real every single detail. Banning me doesn't have any affect on myself, only joined for one reason if everyone didn't already realise that. Have a nice day

eureka can you please act your age we have gone over this, and we are never going to agree on this matter. So much for your club to never whinge again and I thought your club was going to move on from this, (but seems you can not) so get over it all the juniors that you say we poached are very happy at St Andrews and will be for a long time.

For a guy that does not SCORE many runs, you would have to say it is a long time coming!
Fair to say its about time MMVCA gave it away and let one of the younger guys come through... Imagine the chip on his shoulder now, i can already hear the new nickname coming through.....
OUT: GNOME
IN: SMITHS

Re: MMVCA General Cricket Chat 2009/10

Unfortunately MMVCA I have to withdraw my offer for you to come down to Gladdy, I just recieved a phone call from the president and he reminded me of rule 7.2(c) of our constitution "No gnomes"

Yep, the rumour is true. Some blokes just don't know when to give it away. The writing has been on the wall for a while now. Lets hope the 'gnome' makes a dignified exit.
