Re: Williamstown and District Cricket Association (WADCA)
They will be handy without being a major threat I wouldnt have thought. If you get away with swinging the willow it always helps.
We missed a few bowlers which was the key.
I wonder if teams will notice the guys which didnt bat?? 3 new players made all the runs.
Some old names back at GU, future looks good.....

Re: Williamstown and District Cricket Association (WADCA)
Swinging willow? Dont think we were watching the same game. There was some mighty fine cricket shots played, some off good balls and the bad one's were dispatched to the boundary as they should be.
Who were the bowlers missing?? Word from Laverton people at game was, your bowling is not good enough.
You only had 3 guys bat, you batted your allotment of 40 overs and did not post a big enough score, irrelevant who didnt bat.

Re: Williamstown and District Cricket Association (WADCA)
I didnt say we didnt bowl bad balls. I said some blokes and one in particular swing every over and get away with it.
Irrelevent who didnt bat? Fair enough we didnt get a big enough score, but when your best bats dont get a hit things are looking good for the future.
Anyone else get a young recruit who hasnt played senior cricket for 2 years and makes a ton?
Its all good and well getting old blokes that can play, but when they piss off for more money after two season who is going to be better off? them or the teams which have the younger guys wanting to play for the club rather then the coin?

Re: Williamstown and District Cricket Association (WADCA)
Again, were we watching a different game, who was the bloke swinging every over??? Besides it was a 40 over (1 day) match, it happens!!
I agree, the blokes who didnt bat have some talent, it is geat to see Laverton giving a lot of young talent a go, not something they have always done. Brendan has always been highly talented, has strong family ties to your club and hasnt played due to his promising racecalling career, money not necessarily his motivation to play cricket.
If you are referring to Imps getting old blokes who can play, play for coin for 2 years then p.off, you couldnt be further from the mark. The bloke coaching hasnt played for 2 years, had no intention of playing until his best mate (the President) called him and asked if he would be interested due to lack of applicants, no great $ involved. He has brought with him a much more professional attitude to training and playing to an already talented side (batting at least). He has approached a few ex team mates to play, including one he played overseas cricket with but no money involved.
Results will tell the story but there is a legitimate feeling of optimism around the club.
Re clubs throwing $ at short term players, it was Laverton, who only a couple of seasons ago were trying to poach G.Robson from our club after a 600 plus run season.
P.S - Tell Loges Ryan Hinton stayed for the love not the money, as he queried in the field on Saturday. Not a bad bunch of blokes at Imps. Just ask us.
Good luck to all for the rest of the season.

Re: Williamstown and District Cricket Association (WADCA)
Yeah no one is going to believe that.
Ok Hinton is an exception, we heard he had offers and chose to stay, good on him. But, you can not honestly say you didnt get lucky when having a swing. If you think otherwise then good on ya's your only kidding yourself.
Anyone say why Wyndamvale game was off and the Gellibrand game? Not having a pitch ready is a joke.

Re: Williamstown and District Cricket Association (WADCA)
hahahahaha where have u got this idea from that the imps are payin players??? where is the revenue comin from to pay all these supposed players! how about most the lads at the club love the social side and the cricket and they don't play because of a few $$$ in their pocket at the end of the game! they'll be more teams payin more players and $$$$ than imps!!

Re: Williamstown and District Cricket Association (WADCA)
I was at the game on saturday and imps were impressive!! Imps bowlers didn't bowl the best, they bowled in drips and drabs, they dropped 4 catches and didn't field very well but they batted well with out ever really taking a risk! they timed they're run chase very well i thought and could be in with a shout this yr!

Re: Williamstown and District Cricket Association (WADCA)
Dont know which club you're from, but summed up the batting very well, rohan either has no idea when he makes the comment about swinging from the bum or as his past posts suggests, he likes to stir the pot. I didnt see bowling or fielding, we have a lot of work and a long way to go but as I mentioned before, there is a genuine feeling of optimism around the club. No getting carried away as others are suggesting.
