Research 0/46 v Lalor Stars 209: Research to chase a disappointing score on the postage stamp
Lower Plenty 231 v Bundoora 1/9: Bunny's batting can be brittle, going to back lower in a tight finish.
Riverside 5/359(cc) v Eltham: Minney needs around 250. Riverside all the way.
Diamond Creek 1/25 v Plenty 202: Another toss of the coin. Going with Diamo.

Pingers to bat for 75o and get up.
Lower to get 2 more wockets, send in Mernda and the game will fizzle no outright
Interesting - No GT in the field but will bat, good toss and Searchers to win
Yes Bulls batting will make this interesting....uuummm, Bundoora to hold on, 8 down.
Riverside, easy, but Eltham will show some ticker and bat for a while whilst never getting close.
Diamo, Hubber to get a bag but not enough.

Or I could look at the weather forcast and realise that its a good time to ensure the cards are there....heres hoping its clear.

Don't think the 20/20 format suits the up & coming district lads, not enough shots played and was a boring affair. Good crowd, snags were ok but the highlight for me was the slow bowling of Northcote, looked very good from my vantage point.
Full points to the media manager of both clubs, promoting Brad HODGE & Andrew Mcdonald as drawcards, when they knew very well they were both playing in a shield game & thumbs down to Adam Dale - unless he was injured?? - thought he should have played so some parents could have at least said to there young boys & girls - " see that guy bowling, he played for Australia".

Probably a bit harsh bagging a bloke opening a district team. Unless you have played a higher level yourself????

m8 you cant give him shit when he is opening the batting for a premier first 11club so if you have achieved more than what he has at 19 then i like to hear the storys you say bout your self

just because someone has a bad day at the office and you cant accuse him becoz he has had one game if he didnt have the potential for the gamne would he have been picjed?
obvoiusly the selectors have a different perspective about sturge, my opinion is he can play all forms of the game and already play 1st XI at northcote at 19? if you ask me thats a fair effort
thats my say
