Re: Eastern Cricket Association 2010/11
We are a pretty even bunch to be honest with you Toady.
McCann, Sverens and Savory did the job with the ball and as you can see by the stats our batting really didn't deliver enough last year with only Scotty Carroll showing any real resistance.
We def have some work to go but I think we can challenge as I don't think there is any standout team this year so I expect it to be very close

No Comment! In regards to field setting but yeah some of us didn't agree with him that day.
Ok thats decent stats, but it is Burwood which is an absolute road and small ground. You guys will def need some bowlers though

Re: Eastern Cricket Association 2010/11
Haha those names aren't exactly tearing premier cricket up:
O'Connells 2' and 3's
Holt played 7 1's games last year hasn't impacted yet
Hickey 3's and 4's, gave cricket up 2 season ago. Didn't come back to NB
Kiely Don't know what he even plays
B-J Played 3 or 4 1's games
Hutton Can't get a game at camberwell, off to melb uni
Elsmore Back playing after he tossed it in.
Howsam Playing for Marcellin OB.
None of these juniors would come back to NB for a reason
These names: Gairns, O'neil, Howell, T Fahey, J Fahey and the Smith/Cohen
haven't even played mare than 15 games of dunstan combined. Except Julian Cohen

You obviously didn't see howells stats in dunstan last year. 6 wickets in 6 games. With stats like that "the kid can bowl"

Re: Eastern Cricket Association 2010/11
The bowling is always the worry, but it really did improve towards the end of the year.
James Dunn should have a better year after a good pre season, and Simon Kars picked up 20 wickets last year. Young James Wilson bowled very well last year, and hopefully will put on another yard. John Doak has been recruited from Barnies to bowl his leggies and generally be a good lad.
It's pretty exciting that nobody can really pick a stand out team in A Turf this year. Competitve leagues are always good.

Re: Eastern Cricket Association 2010/11
It's often something people say, that it wasn't as good as it was. Not just A Turf but all Cricket.
Generally I would say that a number of players give up sooner. Family pressures are increased in the modern day, and choose to not play, go on holidays, races etc.
Personally I think the standard is good enough. Barnies and Richmond Union dragged the league down last year, even though both beat Burwood. If those games were at Burwood instead of Dogpoo Park it would of been very different!
I agree though that there isn't a gun team like Donvale and Bulleen in 06/07, or St Kevs last year (Shame they didn't win the flag).

Re: Eastern Cricket Association 2010/11
Plenty of good quicks playing synthetic cricket, but, yeah, it isn't for softies.
Then again, you wouldn't know because you're not interested in half the ECA competition, which this thread is named after. So sorry for daring to raise the synth comp with the turf snobs. Seeya "champ."

This year, North Balwyn will go out to try to continue its domination of ECA junior cricket.
I believe North Balwyn didn't win a junior premiership last season..... clearly dominated. The juniors are getting weaker and weaker. Not what they used to be Toad

Re: Eastern Cricket Association 2010/11
North Balwyn won 2 premierships both in under 12's. The older kids (future of the club) didn't perform to the standards of your older age groups of the last few years.
Your juniors are getting weaker and weaker and they will never hit the heights of the glory days of the last few years in the 14's and 16's

Re: Eastern Cricket Association 2010/11
Toady - I had a bit of a chat with a few guys who play for Northamptonshire about Rob Keogh. One said that Keogh is pretty arrogant, looks good but doesn't score many runs. That bloke is a bit bitter about County Cricket though.
I think he's a pretty steady signing. Has shown talent in Northants 2's Cricket and done pretty well in the Northamptonshire Premier this year. He has the potential to score runs in Dunstan, but the big test for young English players is always when an Australian is there calling you a virgin!
You either thrive on it or you don't!

Re: Eastern Cricket Association 2010/11
Your never wrong terry.
The problem with blokes like Keogh is that he will come to this competition he will think that everything will come just happen because he play county 2's. He will be rather surprised of the standard of the competition, there are a lot of good players walking around at dunstan.
I have seen it all before and the good teams will crush him mentally and if he doesn't perform, a lot of people down at North Balwyn will be questioning him. Lets see if he has the ticker if it goes wrong for him. Especially playing for a struggling club like North Balwyn. You saw Cope struggle last year at donvale, only 250 runs. He came here with a lot of expectation and failed under pressure (by his stats in the winter you need to cross your fingers and hope cope get pasts 10, only passed 10 3 times in the winter). But only time will tell if he has it in him and the same as Cope, if they can rise to the occasion and help North Balwyn survive dunstan. Don't hold your breath boys.
Stay tuned
