What's going on at Mulgrave? Forfeited 2 teams last game and have now withdrawn their 3s. Tough times.

The Deepdene Uniting Cricket Club, based at Hays Paddock in Kew East, is taking applications for the position of Junior Development Coach. Would suit a student looking to earn a few extra dollars. Full details at www.deeners.com

This is nearly right, but not quite. It is correct that there are two comps - one for turf and one synthetic, but it is possible that a Macgibbon Shield side might be the 2nds or 3rds of a club. There are a number of clubs that field teams in both comps, and from memory it was only a season or...

With all due respect, I'm not sure that I would be making the decision to merge with another comp on the basis of one round of T20 results.

Mate, apply for the head coaching job. You sound better than Nielson.

Clearly Clarkey reads my posts! ;)

Heard a very good suggestion the other day: Ric Charlesworth. Unfortunately not available until after the 2012 Olympics, but I reckon he'd be the right man for the job.

Michael Beer has dropped off the face of the earth too. When he was picked 6 months ago, Hilditch said: "He's a talented left-arm orthodox spinner and hopefully someone who can play a big role in our future." Not that I think he should definitely be there, just shows the erratic selection over...

I notice that CA is taking applications for 'Participation Growth Leaders'. The job description is fairly minimal - does anyone have any idea about what level these jobs are at — are they entry level positions or more senior in terms of salary, conditions etc. Full time, all year round etc...

Nice to get a reasonable reply Bundoora. It isn't Brain Science is it?;) The fact that people were only discussing the implications for the DVCA was precisely the reason for my contribution. Sometimes it pays to have someone point out that there is a broader perspective that needs...

So...only those within the DVCA can comment on the optimum structure for Victorian cricket? Interesting perspective. It's not a matter of intimidation, it's a matter of negotiation. I have a truckload of experience in dealing with councils, and I know that councillors are very focussed on...
