Bit quiet in here recently, let's get ur htought on these:

1.Best bats/bowlers in Nth A
2.Overated Bats/bowlers
3.Why is he a paid player? Blokes r not good enough to be paid players but somehow are?
4.Next big thing? could be a young kid or a new face/name we haven't come across, basically someone who steps up.
5.Talent down the drain? underachievers, bloke with ability/talent but no results, could be either due to lack of apllication or other factors.

Intersting to gauge ur thoughts in NthA.

Fast Bowler - De Silva @ Av Heights and Pizarro
Bat - Windrige prob the best but don't think there are ANY real outstanding bats in North A, lot of ok bats who can do plenty on their day but no real stand outs
Spinner - T Jefferey & A Shanahan @ Aberfeldie are probably the best in North A, most highly credentialed at least both got wickets to kick start their season

Underacheivers - skipper @ Aberfeldie tops the list doesnt he ?

1. Zaharodni, Suares, Lambeth, Misiti
2. T Jeffrey - got shown up in Senior Div, made va 100 in a 2nd innings and did not play straight or correct enough to be a consistent top order bat in Senior.
3. Good luck to anyone earning cash, I hope their teammates are happy with one player earning money whilst the others are fuinding it.
4. S BRne seems to be a great up and coming player with loyalty, think he might be one to watch.
5. Agree with last post - Abers.

Liked that one, S Byrne n Loyalty go hand in Hand. Wonder who he’ll be loyal to next season.

Personally I feel the standard of cricket has dropped in This grade dramatically over the last few years,e specially when it comes to batting. Agree with He Who Knows Best who states: “don't think there are ANY real outstanding bats in North A”.
1. Best Bat: S Windridge, simply because he is the only on who played @ a Higher level last year District ones with Bombers and did OK. Other blokes who rate themselves as bats have been running around local comps for a while now.

Best bowlers, The overseas Import @ Avondale + Jeffrey the best spinner by a few miles, I blanchett KPark.

2. Overrated, Now this was always going to be a bit harsh, so plz takee it with a grain of salt. I reckon Shanahan, picked wickets but really he is meant to be an offspins, but does never spin the thing and essentially bowls poo. D Zahorodini has done the job for his club in Nth b and Since last year in Nth A made 150 this year and a massive 150+ in Nth B GF but I still reckon he aint much chop, it goes to show that the overall standard has slipped dramatically when a bloke who was average at best in the District 3X1 at essendon can put up such perforences, nothing personal, the bloke has done better than most so all the best to him but I still think he ain’t much.

3. Most blokes in Nth A who r getting paid should not. Here are some who I think deserve to be paid, Bronca n O’Keefe at yarraville, V Ion at Doutta last year, D brown at APW just a couple of examples they’re good enough to be paid for what they do , In Nth A , some of the so called paid pros , well good on ‘em but really? Would u spend your hard earned cash on them.

4. Steps Up: Outta left field this one: S Thompson from KP he’s already made a 116 this season should be a good performer at this level for years to come, He's ahs been around a while thought at 2ndX1 AND !X1 not saying he’ll dominate but has the ability to be a consistent performer.

5. As far talent down the drain, underachievers, well every club at least has 1 of those, would be good to know who that individual is at ur joint

Intersting to gauge ur thoughts in NthA.

1. Best Bats: Joe Misiti always looks quality, Manning and Preecy at FUCC are key wickets every year, whilst this Windrige sounds like a player - who is he playing for this year? Best bowlers are Suares and the Avondale import, plus Pizaro whose stats speak for themselves.

2. OVerrated - I dont know how Steve Brne gets wickets - he bowls straight up and down slow mediums... Zarodni good bowler but just slogs with the bat, not sure Jeffrey is as good as people are making out - doesnt turn it !! Mannings bowling fits this category too and seems new coach knows it...

3. At risk of sinking the boot into a carcas, Nyhus !!! D.Barletta captaining Albion, I really hope thats for free as if he's getting coin it could be better spent...

4. Albion had a good young quickie last year - Brooke I think was his name, good player. FUCC have a young Sri Lankan bat who oozes talent and their wicketkeeper bat (Mackay) has 700 runs in 2 year and is under 21. East Keilor are very young this year and one or two of them look like they could become quality players but names escape me - Montebello is a very ordinary bloke but has some batting ability which would probably blossom if he wasnt hated by all and sundry!!

5. So many of these around - based on junior potential I remember blokes like McKerracher (Druids/StAlbans) and Ainge (FU) making thousands and theyve never really kicked on although both have played senior cricket for 10 years so must do just enough... The keeper at Tulla (is it Scott) seems highly rated but does nothing week in and week out - also a poor bloke, maybe has a touch of the Montebellos about him.
