BARCLAY SHIELD 2023/24

[shortnsharp]

Macleod - Tim Wise obviously for the above reason he is having an amazing season, Fisher

Riverside - Villani, Money

Heidelberg - Smith, Renwick

Epping - Henkel, Emmins

Riverside are the form team of the comp at the moment hard to see them slowing down.

NEW will be spewing they fumbled the bag for that 4th spot.

Heidelberg - i would add fotinopoulos he basically ties down one end
Macleod - if Johnson plays and can bat for more than 20 overs, then it could get ugly. It's a big if but
Epping - henkle to return stiffens up their batting
Riverside - villani brothers I think are the key

 

[Savage RN]

Any truth to a rumour today was McLean’s last game ?

If so, a big loss for Creek. Been a super player of the comp for a long time.

 

[Mr_Hollywood]

Heidelberg v Riverside
Macleod v Epping
Who are we tipping?

Hberg & Epping for me but it’s going to be a lot closer in both games then first thought about a month ago

I think Epping are done. Last 2 games been rolled quite comfortably are the wheels off?

Jekyll and Hyde. They have knocked over Macleod twice this year and comfortably. They would fancy their chances this weekend I'd imagine

Will also be adding Licovski and Henkel back into the team.
The 2 best players in the competition head to head should make for some great cricket.

I agree would and should fancy their chances but some doubt has to set in rolled for 79 and then being held to 7/118. licovski and Henkle are big ins as they were sorely missed on Saturday

 

[PlentyPower]

Who are the key players for the teams still going.
Can’t think of anyone more important than Tim Wise for Macleod.
Has single handedly gotten his team into 2nd place finish on the ladder with one of the great seasons in recent memory.

Berg - Ridewood, Renwick and Smith
Macleod - Tim, Ritchy
Epping - Henkel, Emmins, Gardiner
Riverside - S.Villani, Chrimes, S.Money

Not sure Licka is a big in he is averaging 7 with the bat in Barclay this year

I thought Research was going down in a heartbreaker. Good for them. So long rosebank and pepper the pig

Oink Oink!

Has anyone heard that some clubs from our shipwreck neighbours (nmca) will be joining the DVCA. Hope its only rumours?

Would take on board Rivergum to join Mash shield as per every side that has joined before.
All other sides over there can scrap into a 4th division of 10 teams total, and whatever is remaining tuff titties.
I believe that if it does spill, that Holy Trinity might look at joining another comp ( does eastern churches still exist )
Sorry if anyone over at Jika would be offended, but there are no magic handouts on offer if it occurs

I hope you’re right. Not much on offer from that competition. I’m told that if nmca spills, up to 10 clubs will fold.

Can’t imagine the pathetic standard of a 4th grade. Mash is already scraping the bottom of the barrel…

Henkel absolutely, but Licovski definitely not, he is averaging 6.75 in Barclay Shield cricket this season

Heat out rule a chance for this Saturday.
Expecting 38*

 

[Mr_Hollywood]

Do the diamond valley have a heat off rule? if so what degree is the rule set at

[shortnsharp]

Go off at 36 degrees measured from Viewbank.
Can't go back on until directed by DVCA once temperature drops below.
Not sure how the overs work maybe brutal knows but I think side batting first can bat their 80 overs or when they lose all 10 wickets whichever falls first , then side batting second bats 80 overs MINUS overs lost to heat.
Maybe someone who plays can let people know otherwise as I could be wrong ( but it's what I've observed over the years)

 

[The Long Room]

Do the diamond valley have a heat off rule? if so what degree is the rule set at

Play will be suspended once the temperature reaches 38 degrees according to the official rule book handed out to clubs at the start of the season.
This is determined by the BOM at Viewbank for our area.
