Barclay Shield 18/19

[Savage RN]

Just read this in Leader. Surely it’s a piss take? He’s 53 and a few kilos heavier than his Tubby days.

That's fairly emphatic from Riverside....
Embarrassing for the Leader who want to charge us for reading local cricket stories yet publish fake news

Not sure the journalist needs to be embarrassed, further to that twitter exchange was what the reply from the clappers president was "Hi Luke, talking to his people at the moment to see what we can sort out. Would be great if we can get him for a game or two". That is what he went with in the article. We should be thankful that they cover our comp and in my experience (footy and cricket) are all too willing to give clubs exposure. All for Riverside to take the pi$$ on their own media platforms but when you make the journalist look silly that's just a lack of respect for what the blokes job is IMO

Thanks for clarifying, didn't know about that text message. Not much the Leader could do if it's coming from the President.

I may have missed something but is any news coming out of Lower Eltham? Who’s coaching, new players, players leaving??

 

[Kamikazee]

Nick Gedge off to Northcote

 

[bradfromeltham]

Are we going to have to wait until a couple of days before the season starts for the fixture again?

Absolutely farcical that the shield grades haven’t been announced...

 

[Legends legend]

Congratulations, you’ve finally had a win. The draw is out.

Bit quiet on this thread wat r the ins and outs for the teams who will be the surprise packet

 

[Clive Rose]

Still quiet, any bold predictions for this season comin

 

[Golden_Oldie]

By all accounts Diamond Creek have picked up a few players and have there opening bowler back who was overseas last year.
Will be in the mix to win it.

Geez, things are a bit slow on the Big Cricket forum these days. Has everyone lost interest?

Looking at the team selections , it appears that there will probably be no surprise to see Riverside, Diamond Creek and Macleod play finals. Last spot up for grabs. Happy to be proven wrong. Signing off.

Big 3 from last few years looking good again after Rd 1.

And I’ve heard that Diamo have a couple of blokes who look ok, that pretty much walked in off the street and would’ve played round 1 but are unavailable first 2 rounds.

The karma bus caught up with Lower Eltham yesterday.
Will say, if you are going to claim a catch 2 metres over the boundary line, you should be made to stand where you caught it until the umpires can make the call of the dismissal.
The fact that same player dropped a sitter 2 overs later in front of the faithful was satisfying to watch no doubt.

why should you have to stand there? if fielder says its out, then its out....if you say he didnt catch it inside play, then name and shame or otherwise just leave it alone....being cryptic achieves nothing.
