Re: VTCA Thread

Correct ther Diz. I bet the team that wins won't be sooking about the wicket. It is now about which is the best team and who applies themselves the best. Surely this is what the gf is all about, regardless of conditions.

I have a feeling the curator got his dates wrong with St. Patricks day and took the "green" theme a tad too far.

It would seem the pitch was prepared to last 4 days. Not saying whether that is right or (probably) wrong but that is my opinion as to why it was such a greentop last Saturday.

I don't think the wicket will be as green this week which should lead to an exciting first 2 hours on Saturday.

Look at the positives though, don't have to wait until Sunday night to get on it!

Re: VTCA Thread

Unless you are out there playing, how can you comment on the wicket?? Who's to say that there were bad shot selection/pressure etc causing low scores?? Couldn't have been too bad with Doutta being 4 fa not many and ending up with 255?? The game is made for batsmen! About time we see a fair contest with bat and ball. @| I think this has made for a great finish. May the best side win.

So when Keilor write up the complaint ,and Douttas sign it AND the umpire is giving the wicket 1/10 , do you think that says enough about the wicket ?? Why 4 inches of grass is left on the wicket is beyond me.
255 was made because of Ion's class ,not many batsmen in vtca could have played that sort of knock in that situation.
Just ask Porter what he thought of the pitch after his dismissal......

Re: VTCA Thread

according to my knowledge, the hobsons bay city council is responsible for the deck at spotswood

Correct Hobsons Bay are in charge of the wicket.. There wouldnt have been a problem as the pitch was meant to be cut on friday! After some morning rain the curator put the mower aside and was going to come back to cut it when the rain stopped! The curator went down to the petrol station to get some smokes and a meat pie and when he came back there was an empty can of Fosters Lager where he had left the mower. The curator from a distance saw someone in a green tracksuit walking away with the mower. The curator thought it was just one of the spotty boys as they have green tracksuits.

At the police station we recieved a call Saturday afternoon from Mrs Turner. She told us that her husband bought in slab of fosters on a lawn mower last night. She screamed at him "where did you get that mower from Gary" and "smackas" shrugged his shoulders and slapped her across the face for yelling at him while he was nursing a nasty hang over from the night before.

We believe this mower belongs to Hobsons Bay city council and we can assure you it will be returned and that the grass will be cut for day 3 of the G.F.

Re: VTCA Thread

No way Turner would have slapped his wife. He might have dropped a can!!
Just a quick update on the Turner file. Was last seen in a punch up Saturday night asking if he could hold anybodies drinks. His mate Patcholli was asleep in a bin at the time and his fat replacement Taylor was observed eating the contents out of said bin. Good luck to Keilor on the weekend especially the blokes with ropes burns already from the past couple of Grannies waiting to go out, I'm mean bat. Ha Ha. Where's Henry???????

Re: VTCA Thread

Wicket was a disgrace for a Grand Final. They should never be allowed to host the Senior Division Grand Final again.

Bit puzzling why Douttas batted 1st on a raving seamer.

Ion has looked a class above anyone else on that deck. Probably only played & missed at 2 balls for the day.

If curator prepares the same wicket for day 3 (& he is supposed too) then Douttas will win easily. Otherwise, it may go down to the wire like 3 years ago.

Can someone tell me why the GF wasnt played at Hansen res ? No games their at all,does Yccc charge ground rental? If not could someone tell us the reason why both grounds arent played on i made a swash buckling century their back in 69 i think?

Re: VTCA Thread

is he still 'no gun'? 27 wickets against the three other finalists. a hattrick in the semi on the way to 6/42 then 4 wickets in 5 balls in the GF on the way to 6/40. not bad for a bloke who is 'no gun'

We are all prophets after the fact.

Who cares? That Turner bloke was probably sleeping there and they didn't want a fuss considering the drunken stink that follows him around (Patcholli)!

I saw the wicket before the start of play. You don't have to be Einstein to work out what happens when there is a raving green top & quality pace bowlers in Hutchinson, McKay, Tankard & Green.

Players from both sides couldn't put bat on ball with only Ion in 2nd innings adapting to conditions.

I agree about a fair contest between bat & ball. This wasn't that though.

Lets hope for similar pitch conditions so the game is played on an even keel on the 2nd weekend.
