Love it how everyone is doing match reviews, seems im a trend-setter. Only i can do the good match revies!! Leave the sencible chat and banter to me!

Seems everyone has had there bit to say ill only be quick!!

PVC vs BP - BP take confidence out of the win in there previous sunday game against syd/hill. But should be a convincing win to PVC, Tripp, Hare and Sayers due for runs.....My Tip = PVC

SH vs RP - Hackney vs Russel
Wilson vs Killa
Beniwal vs English........My Tip = SH

TL vs KGG - Rogo needs plenty of runs, Viani and Lamboulus need to pitch in with runs, KGG will back themseleves to bowl them out, if they can bat 80 overs. TL too strong on paper......My Tip = TL

GP vs CCC - Will be a closer game than anticipated. CCC getting stronger each week, decent bat line up and solid bowling attack. Once again on paper and all the rubbish that happened during the week GP will answer strong and win!.....My Tip = GP

I dont want to do a mtch review I just want to comment that everyone who has done one has said the Gladdy vs CCC will be closer than most people think therfore I think the majority think it will b close not the other way around.

I will go out on a limb and tip Gladdy to smash them.

Gladdy: Have improved. Look more even with some younger bowlers who are able to bowl 20 overs. Still lack a spin bowler to be complete package. Bats just keep scoring runs. J. Markham best bat in the comp.

Taylors: For me still the side to beat. Almost the same team as last year without one key player - Macaffrey. Was a very handy bat down the order. Heavy reliance on Thomas with the ball.

Pascoe: Still a good team but can't seem to find a settled 11 with 2 or 3 changes every week. Too Good to miss out but not in the same class as Gladdy or Taylors. P. Tripp is a gun.

Kealba: Will be fighting out for that 4th spot in the finals. Amoung the best bowling attacks in the comp but very brittle with the bat. Need more runs from Viani and someone else.

Syd: Poor and inconsistant start to the season. Same team as last year in every way. Rely on too few - Wilson and Hackney for runs, Hassett and Lorimar of wickets. Beniwel need to lift and start getting past 25 for them to play finals.

Roxy: Most people on this forum predicted Roxy would crash this year. The season is not finished yet but can't afford a bad game. Like SHCC rely on Russell for leadership and a lot of runs and Killa for runs and wickets. Others need to step up if they are to paly finals this year.

Buckers: Don't know what to say about BPCC. On paper they seem to have a good batting line up but it is under performing. Bowling is a weakness for them. With the exception of Hayes not a lot of quality. Hope they can put in a big second half of the season for Millsy.

C/Field: Have improved but lack the killer instinct. Weekend results show that. Had Gladdy on the ropes and let it slip away. Will win a few games and may well shape the 4. Hassan and Carton good pick ups but need some help.

I was down at the U/21's yesterday and was speaking to some people from Roxy and I hear that all is not well down there!! Lots of infighting and some of their top players very unhappy and maybe looking to leave?!?!?! Can anyone shed anymore light on the situation?

If it is true it looks like the wheels have well and truely fallen off. Having said that I find it very hard to believe that roxy people would be making it common knowledge that the bubble has or is about to burst.

Hey Gladyboy,

Heard on the weekend that all the crap that went down over the Brett Pitts saga is not over yet. If what I've heard is correct, then its just laughable.

Mate you need to move on!! The Pitts boys have left get over it!!
Brett made a mistake and he has been suspended, all finished.

I dont even play for Gladdy, but honestly is it really that big a deal!
