Williamstown and District Cricket Association (WADCA)

Re: Williamstown and District Cricket Association (WADCA)

U play Laverton who beat werribee centrals 6/136 to all out 84.

So this means Colts and Lav to play each other twice in 5 days then!
Could be a good 20/20 on the Wed night then, if either team loses sat and misses out on a finals berth in the main comp, reckon it could be a real grudge match.

Re: Williamstown and District Cricket Association (WADCA)

Will it change anyones selections for this week now all games have become One dayers?

ND V Wyn- Still think ND just, only for their stronger batting, but extra week off may give Plummer time to recover and be available so would bring Wyn closer.

Imps V GU- This one could now be in GU's favor. Imps only able to get 10 overs out of Robson this week, wont help Imps bowling stocks and may assist GU to post a defendable score for their bowlers.

Lav V Colts- Colts won in a close OD early in season, but Lav play better at home? Still will be a close call, but stick with Lav. (One bonus for the umps will be that they will only have to put up with 40 ovrs of the colts boys carrying on out in the field and not 80!!!)

My tips wont change agree with u about ND,but GU still struggle after frewys 10overs?????

Re: Williamstown and District Cricket Association (WADCA)

WRR,
I agree with you, in a perfect world this would be the case.

But in saying that I actually like the idea of teams getting the opportunity to break into our comp (point cook etc..) as long as it is managed correctly.
Once these teams establish themselves in our comp, it will only make our comp so much stronger and much more competitive.
Take Willy Colts for example, for years their 1st were in the B turf for years and now they are starting to knock on the door of finals cricket which is great for our comp.

The problem is when the comp is reluctent to make a decision about a team that is in a grade that is not suitable for them (Newport Rams).
Having a bye is rediculous, its hard enough to get a full season of cricket in with washouts and heatouts.

We should always be looking at making our comp as strong as possible and having these new teams in the B turf is agreat way of doing this but it is also important to sweep out the rubbish as well (harsh but true!).

Your spot on with your thoughts on new sides coming in the comp,but it is hard for 2nd eleven sides always playing 1st eleven sides.
Until we can get 3 more clubs in the comp we are stuck,but to have a bye in B-Turf the last 2 years is ridiculous,we dont play enough cricket as it is with washouts,byes and now bloody heat rules(CRAP).............

3 new teams could open the door for--- Div 1(8 teams)Seniors+Seconds and Div 2(8 teams)Seniors+Seconds with relegation + promotion each year......Div1 could start with ND,GU,WYND,LAVO,IMPS,WEST,COLTS,GELLI(the strongest 8 at moment) and everyone could play each other twice in a 1 day + 2 day game home&away???

Re: Williamstown and District Cricket Association (WADCA)

Like the 8 team concept, play each other twice in a 1 +2 day game with 14 rds for the year(and the comp wouldnt be able to stuff the draw up there surely??), but the relegation idea wont work for this amount of teams.
IE. If a side like a WN or Gelli dropped down, they would come straight back the next season as they are still very handy sides in the A's.
But if a D/park or Pt Cook came up????
These two teams would be hard pressed to beat ANA or HX comfortably enough to be a threat in the higher grade, and would just be cellar dwellers anyway.
Would need a min of a 12 team comp for relegation system IMO.
Also, what if a current A's sides B Turf team won the flag?????

YEAH IN A PERFECT WORLD 12 TEAMS WOULD BE GREAT BUT we havent got enough, but say for example werribee cent,seabrook+seddon came in the comp it would take a few years to get a true indication of Div1(strongest teams)+ Div2 sides would be more even......dont forget teams(eg Pt Cook+DP) will know what it takes to win in Div1 if they get a taste of it so they will recruit!!!

If a B-Turf side wins the flag thats fine cos they are playing against 2nd eleven sides,thats how it should be, not 1st eleven sides bashing them up every year,its up to other sides to get some depth at their club!!!!!!!

Of course I do,we lost Ghaz this year + have replaced him from inside the club,so you can say maybe we are slightly not as strong as last year but theres no GU of old to contend with either+ only Imps have improved alot from last year.......My smokey would be the Imps,they can make big runs + have a decent slowey to bowl a lot of overs in the finals!

Do you think you have the bowlers to do the job, + you only have a part time slowy and a few medium pacers.
Don't get me wrong I think you'll make it but I'm not sure if you have the full package to go all the way?

Robbo is a very good bowler doesn't turn the ball a great deal, more changes of pace that get him so many wickets.

Hinton will stand up like he normally does

Well I think our few medium pacers are just as good as everyone elses + our slowey(KC)has probably bowled most overs for us this year+taken most wickets for us,so hes hardly part time

No malice behind the comment, just an observation mate.
In saying that if (KC) is the leading wicket taker at ND, your other bowlers must be struggling a bit?
You wouldn't put (KC) on the same level as Robbo though.... would you?
Kane would be in the side for his batting?
His brother is a better bowler, swings the ball both ways and good change of pace.

Definately not on same level as Robbo bud hahaha...

Imps need Robbo to take wickets a lot more than we need KC too...
Compare our other bowlers to Imps others:
Guerrera 21 wickets
Lee 11 (3 Games)
L.Collins 17
K.Collins 21


BOWLED 9 DIFFERENT INNINGS

IMPS----
Bonnici 12
Orchard 21
O'Keefe 9 (5 Games)
Robson 33

BOWLED 10 DIFFERENT INNINGS

Im trying to point out that Kane is far from a part timer as you can see he's used 2nd change every week!!!!

All good bud, I was just doin a bit of fishing
Lee has only played 3 games, how come? Injured?

I don't think Imps will make the G/F, not good enough.
Their batting isn't strong enough and they rely on Robbo and Hinton to much.
You blokes and the vale most likely be there.
I think you will take the prize because of the experience you gained from last years G/F.

D/P have had a taste of it.... Remember they have only just gone back this season to BTurf, so as for getting a taste, i think they have been that road and it wasnt a successful one for them. Credit tho, they did stick it out when other teams either left our comp, or stonger b turf teams where not in a postition to come in.
P/Cook might be a different task tho, as they are a young club, so i think they have a better prospect of going up and recruiting. (But still think P/C would struggle in A's atm.

As for Bturf team winning and being promoted....I was refering to a side already in the A's and their b's winning. What do you do in this scenario? You wouldnt want to promote the runners up?
