That's a good point. If they've been convinced that they won't be running riot most weeks, and that that proves true, then that is a good result for the wider competition.

They finished top four in every senior grade in which they competed - I reckon they'd be very wary of dominating a competition because it doesn't foster long term loyalty to a team.

Really fascinating stuff going on with CV at the moment. Because their plan for cricket around Melbourne was a complete shemozzle, and called out as such by a number of clubs (and competitions more broadly), they're now just going to do it by stealth. South Caulfield are a really strong club...

Interesting moves from Brunswick - they obviously don't think they're far away. Fort's a good player, and a big personality, so will be interesting to see how he and McKay fare in the same team. Mat Hewat also a great pickup for PVBCC - out of the game for a couple of seasons, so I'm backing a...

"working group" hahahahahahahahaha

It is rushed for a good reason. PVCC had the feelers out mid last week, but unsure we're they're at with a replacement. Also, echo the plaudits for Romain - a really good guy who plays terrific cricket (and footy!).

A Turf in the ECA would, across the board, be a pretty similar standard to Barclay Shield. A few more wily guns getting about in DVCA than ECA's second grade, though.

The results over the weekend were, as they say, "good for cricket". Grand Final will be a ripper if Macleod's batsmen come to play rather than just chew up balls. Whilst a team dropping $40k+ (surely?) on players sneaking into finals and being beaten first up should mean some serious soul...

I hope a few teams weren't caught out by the "covers are optional" announcement from the ECA - absolutely hosed down in the city between 4.30pm and 5pm. I've just had a look, and seen the "covers must now be laid" announcement came at 5.21pm. Hmmmmm...

Probably not many others, but regardless, yours finished stone, motherless last in the top grade and were uncompetitive in every other grade. Hardly something to hang your hat on.

Are you a curator?

Bit harsh on a bloke that has made 600 runs @ 64 (plus another 150 in two T20 matches)! PS. He 'only' ever averaged in the 30's at Ormond.

At the very least, Alleyne will match the standards set by his predecessor in the showers!

I reckon they've mistakenly overlooked him. They are incredibly compelling stats.

Three in one?!?! We disagree, get over it.

Yep, it would be a real mistake if they didn't take the field with 11 players on the weekend... I only think two, and maybe three, of them are likely to impact the result in a positive way though.

Pretty ridiculous game that I was lucky enough to watch a bit of at NB on the weekend. Obviously Torney's spell last week was particuarly special (well supported by Binney might I add, nagging away as per usual), but Mulgrave's efforts to almost defeat NB were also fantastic. It's been a tough...

Very early call. Forecast doesn't actually look ridiculously bad anymore...

He played for North Balwyn on Saturday...

It's an interested point you make - my club is shelling out at least the equivalent of $6k by providing flights and accommodation for an internation player for 2014/15. I presume there are also some playing payments in there, so let's say $8k total. Whilst it's probably harder to pick your...
