R u serious? What r the chances of him getting sacked by a 2nd club before the end of the season?

The council who are in charge of the wicket did not prepare a wicket as they deemed it too wet. Players from both clubs would be devastated. Assume Caulfield will be awarded max points as the away team.

WOW. What a shocking coach and club appointment. What happened? How could you last 6 weeks?

From Surrey, England. Overseas player with the club going through the corrrct channels in terms of getting the appropriate visa which takes months and money.

Brad Erasmus from Elsternwick Cricket Club is the best cricketer in subbies. Today's man of the match performance was 148 runs including 5x6s (on the biggest ground in the comp) and 4 poles. Super Impressive. Finals are a real possibility for this up and coming talented side.

Thoughts on changing subbies fixtures to all one dayers? 50 overs a side, more games, fair to both sides, better availability. There will only be 2 2-day games before Xmas. And the first one won't be till mid November. Just doesn't make sense. What a joke that we r dedicating a whole Saturday...

Does anyone know if the subbies have changed their professional player rules? It looks like some clubs might have found a loophole and are paying coaches (who also play in the 1st XI) but then are also paying two players.

The Executive Committee has decided that all 3rd & 4th XI games scheduled for Saturday, December 19 and Sunday, December 20 have been cancelled. 1st & 2nd XI games will commence at the normal One Day time of 12.30 pm but will be reduced to an 80 over game(40 overs per side). Captains and...

We r either playing or we r not. It's a summer sport. If individuals don't want to play declare yourself unavailable. It is a one dayer, increase drinks breaks, go off ground if your not feeling well.

Games scheduled for Saturday December 19 A decision regarding fixtures to be played on Saturday, December 19 will be made by the Executive Committee at 9.00 am Saturday morning and will be communicated to players & umpires via sms, twitter, email to clubs, 1900 weather line and Association...
