Part timer, you miss the point the wicket is supposed to be in the same condition as it was in week 1. I have no connection with either team. My query is would this have occurred if north Albury were batting second? Bad sportsmanship?
You know enough is enough.......it has now become obvious that the Raiders are simply not good enough to compete in the top comp........there is no blaming the current players as they are doing the best they can, but there is no moving forward with this club........the Prov comp never looked as strong as it did when there were 8 teams a few years ago. Something has to be done though, and this is not a crack at anyone.......but lets make every game competetive!
Great to see Wodonga Raiders Bgrade will have a win on the weekend 3rd for the year positive signsYes you are right . I watched most of the game and the guys playing give 100% but they just aren't up to it. From what I've heard it's getting worse inhouse. Some players don't like the captain and won't under him. Some of those guys need to think about the club first. I bet there's players at every club who hate each other but whne you cross the white it doesn't matter. CAW have said to them hang in it will be ok but it won't . For a start not having a home ground this season has hurt them. It should be one of the premier grounds in the area but the footy club and council have more say. Don't be surpised if the captain quits. But if you want to go to 8 team comp one club has to drop out and who would that be ?
Cheats is a very strong word there Mick especially coming from a club with history, again there you go flapping you gums when you were not even there and only have idol gossip to go on, behind the crease was the only wet part of the wicket so it only effected the Nth Albury bowlers and as such the umpires made no report and did spend a lengthy amount of time talking to the 2 cpts after the game and as far as im aware all parties were happy, maybe the Journos around here need to do some real journalistic work and research their stories before just going off 1/2 cocked and trying to sensationalize a non story.Just another point on north albury. apparently the next game at bunton north seconds batted day 1 and lavington batted day 2 on a wet pitch too! cheats.
Hahaha so true. It get's a bit silly after awhile. Plus I've seen better appeals on Judge Judy.Belvoir obviously all of your players didn't go to spec savers to check their eyes because every delivery that beats the bat or hits the pad results In them all appealing for a wicket even at square leg. Have they ever heard the story about the boy they cried wolf?
What was said ????? didnt hear the show saturday would be interested on others thoughts about what was said?Hahaha so true. It get's a bit silly after awhile. Plus I've seen better appeals on Judge Judy.
In regards to the draw I think North maybe the only team to play them twice. So maybe a draw which they only play each other once or just 50 over games each week and then you could play each team twice. That would take the outright win out of the game.
Ok I've heard a bit was said on 2AY by Naughtin about Raiders. I've heard it has upset a few of the boys but if it's the truth so be it. Not sure what he said but could anyone shed some light on it.
I'd imagine it would only be B Grade players who got upset Jenno as most of his gripe was with the better players dictating where they playWhat was said ????? didnt hear the show saturday would be interested on others thoughts about what was said?
I am not sure why you think 50 over cricket is hit and giggle, unless you have never played it for a season. It is far more tactical than just batting out 80 overs for the sake of it. You need to use your bowlers more carefully instead of the best bowlers bowling all day, and batsman need to actually pace themselves instead of just hanging around on roads like Bunton.im not sure about one dayers for kids coming through. we all like it cos its a hit and giggle and its over in a day. but for a kid coming through they may bat way down the order and only face oveers 45-50 and have to slog which isnt good for there development and may only bowl 1-2 overs if they are a bit expensive. were in 2 day cricket it may be a bit more forgiving. but maybe on the other hand it may attract more kids to play cos they wont stand in the sun all day. i dont know
Well siad GHG . Isn't funny hows there's more news about cricket now but it's more about the structure and what players whould like to see. Yes 50 over cricket would be the way to go and it would give kids a more of a go because the would get a bowl. Let's remember there's more to a club then just A Grade players. Maybe Ball is pissed that the didn't outright Raiders in a day and missed out on points. The big question to making it a 8 team comp is someoen else has to go out. Now what it if it was voted on before the end of this season and New City win a few games and East are sitting 9th. Would they go down? Come one CAW let's get it right because we all know cricket is dying with the numbers.I am not sure why you think 50 over cricket is hit and giggle, unless you have never played it for a season.

Have a look at the current comp, next to nol close games, and one dayers evens up the game. Not to mention it is the only way the comp can survive with 10 teams and it will stop the bullshit cheating claims that wickets are doctored!
Gunna be very close, but Albury have the toughest run home and North get the Raiders game.......so I think Albury will drop out, but who knows......should be a ripper of a finals series and good to see the comp so even.It appears we have 7 finals Contenders and of course only 6 play finals. Who does everyone think will drop out?
Albury certainly have a tough run home. I'm thinking The Round 9 game vs Lavington could see the loser right under the pumpGunna be very close, but Albury have the toughest run home and North get the Raiders game.......so I think Albury will drop out, but who knows......should be a ripper of a finals series and good to see the comp so even.
