Re: HDCA Cricket Chat 2010/11
Love to know who the players r that have left the burra. Don't know if you noticed but everyone of edinburgh's teams made the finals last year and with the average age of about 23 at their club and the way they intergrate their younger players throughout the teams they will continue to improve.

Didn't Rosebank chase down their 119 in 18 overs for the loss of only two wickets? Nth Heidelberg must've really "terrorised" them.
I don't doubt they're Nth Heidelberg all the way, but what I do doubt is their mental strength when playing good opposition and not taking five wickets/making 50's just about every time they step on to the field.

North will go alright in 2nd grade. Bowling attack is decent, batting struggled a bit in 3rd last year, also playing with 4 piece balls now against better batsmen they will be chasing bigger totals, will need to improve there.
A grade should be interesting, Rosebank to finish top, Rosanna the big improver, Banyule will be up there again as will Edinburgh, two wests will struggle as will viewbank and heidelberg might slide a bit.
any movements so far ?

Re: HDCA Cricket Chat 2010/11
I know Kennel, I've played against him many times.
He left Carlton because it all got too hard - I imagine the reasons were pretty similar as to why he left Ivanhoe and Preston (in JIKA) as well. He's quick, but he sprays it all over the place and has a tendency to drop his head (something that wouldn't have happened at North because it has been so easy for him).
I've always rated his batting, but comparing different competitions is like comparing apples and oranges. Johnny batted well into the lower order at VCA and VSDCA level, and middle order at Preston (I think). His runs (and the level they were achieved at) don't stack up even remotely against the real gun bats of the competition, who consistently made runs at VCA level, or over a million years at HDCA level. Slogging a few 3rd grade teams around Shelley doesn't count!
But, in all seriousness, good luck to the NH boys - the competition will be all the better for it if they can continue to develop a real "squad" of good players. And, obviously the social aspect is of paramount importance given the local area they play in, and the benefits alot of kids would have from playing at a stable, successful club.

Re: HDCA Cricket Chat 2010/11
Harsh, but butterball does raise an interesting point. surely a club will be more successful if it has more numbers at training. it figures that the more you have to choose from, you will have more success, unless everybody in fitzroy plays checkers, wears skivvies and sips lattes. if numbers are strong at edinburgh (and I have no reason to doubt butterball although his estimation of 7000 seems a little extravagant) why has success eluded that club?

Re: HDCA Cricket Chat 2010/11
Howzat23, I reckon Abo & Shadders might be able to hold a stick. Shadders is a bit old and fat - but seems to hold you lot together when he can be bothered. Are those two playing in 2010 as there are the normal rumors?
I wish my club had the Burra numbers - 5-10 at Tues & 20 at Thurs training is a disgrace for a A-grade club!
I have heard Brad Howell is back coaching at Viewbank - not the greatest leader would have thought.......
Cant go past Rosebank, reckon Bergers, Sanners & Burra are the only other clubs capable in A-grade.

Re: HDCA Cricket Chat 2010/11
at that stage he was a 15 year old boy i think u will find he is a lot better cricketer all round now then when he was then multiple a grade hundreds and plenty of wickets to go with it would get a game for any hdca side a walk up start

Re: HDCA Cricket Chat 2010/11
Yes, the Sannas will be an improved side this year with their new recruits however don't expect them all to dominate, different ball game on these pitches now!
Rumour has it that it will be the year of the Ranga, has already been seen putting in numerous hours on the ball machine, lets hope he doesn't lose interest before the season starts!!
Hey Gawn, you don't rate The Banyule boys obviously, whilst Occa & Rowdy are still playin they will always be a good side and if my memory serves me correct they played off in the big one last year.Gawn;403413 said:

Re: HDCA Cricket Chat 2010/11
hey gawn whilst Abo and shadders have held them together for way to long a few of the younger guys have shown massive improvements last season. Sussex and Coyne look like they are ready to take over the reins at the burra and look out for a few big recruits. The seconds last year were very strong and with the average age of that team being 20 they hope a couple will take the next step.The coach has hit the weights hard on the off season and his chest will pop out more often this coming season (so watch out banyule boys!). Look out for 'the cobra's' new ball!

Re: HDCA Cricket Chat 2010/11
I agree that rosanna are one of the sides to beat this season. Apparently they have done some scouting and have def secured Almatrah as club captain and Dunbar. They will have a good all-round side with bat and ball.
Almatrah a past HDCA performer on a regular basis should see them through to the GF against the boys from Heidelberg.
opinions always welcome

Re: HDCA Cricket Chat 2010/11
Houdini u must have been away last season. Don't think rosebank will make the g.f. The boys from rosanna have lost a couple aswell so it all evens out for them. May get some arvo tea with some of their depatures! Still count on big J.R to make runs and take wickets against the good teams. Haven't heard much from west's way. Aiden still about or is he having a go at a higher level. Heard on the grapevine Occa unavailable due to work, any truth?
