Think you are on the mark there, except for selecting SU, for obvious reasons. I see they have played a few guys that i have played against in the 1's a few years ago. So it should be a good game. Last time I played at SU the tack was absolute belter. The game is made for batsmen

Are you back in favour and in the 2's?

gday tobb!! thanks for those new year wishes!! well, we have to biased on THAT aspect, brother...

yes, understand that. i dont know whats its like to play against sunshine united as i never have!! (not in the 2s anyway)...

dont know - problem is i speak my mind & it sometimes gets me into trouble with the executive!! guess i'll find out tomorrow night. depends on numbers too.

does spotswood have a problem with numbers after the christmas break??

With this being my first season out of the 1's, I have never played their 2's either.

Haha sometimes you are better off not saying anything at all.

Sometimes we have # problems. We are actually getting about 5 players back after xmas!! It is usally the kids who cant play as they are away on hols etc.

how are you finding the players' standard of umpiring?? bet youre finding it interesting to say the least now youre playing 2s cricket...

true but sometimes the executive need to know about things theyve been missing themselves...

same deal here. its the older blokes with brittle bones that are letting us down!!

its the reverse to you - the kids are plentiful!!

foo i have no real complaints with players umpiring except for a few isolated incidents, it's generally ok and done in the spirit of cricket.

Agree with Dizz, generally not too bad. Dont rate having to go out and square leg either!! I can see how a game could get quite heated.

I hear what you are saying.

Hahaha and hence my log in name..... feel every bit of 42 years old after a game!!

We have 2 very handy ins ...... Dion Kratz and Mick McCarthy!!

fair enough but doesnt it really annoy you that most players have no idea on how to judge an lbw??

i always thought that if its pitching in line & going on to hit, then its out regardless of where the batsman is placed.

it just really irritates me that players constantly give a plumb lbw not out.

does this happen in your games also??

Too Old Body Broke · 8 Jan 2009, 15:13

It happens even when you do have umpires!!! I think without umpires, there is a general rule of no lbw's at all. Which is obviously wrong. You cannot just take a rule out of the game simply because there is no official umpire!

How did you go last nite? Back in the 2's?

DizzyGillepsie · 8 Jan 2009, 15:20

it's a tough one rossy, i got a few lbw's earlier in the season and one particular bloke from their team was umpiring at the time. i thought they were fair calls, but the rest of his team mates proceeded to bag the shit out of him after the game. it's a bit of a dammed if you do, dammed if you don't situation, but you're right... you can't take a rule out of a game. a similar thing happened when i was umpiring for my team when i was a kid, gave someone out lbw as there was no doubt, and the rest of the team tore strips off me.

Too Old Body Broke · 8 Jan 2009, 15:55

Hey Dizz, yeah not a nice situation I know. Not sure what the answer is. Dare I say the obvious... more umpires are needed. I can understand why people are reluctant to umpire though. I have seen some terrible behaviour from players toward umpires.

DizzyGillepsie · 8 Jan 2009, 19:15

we have been assigned a proper ump this week Rossy... Sean Sutton

i hope his nickname isn't "trigger"
