Re: Ballarat Cricket Association 09/10 I would think that due to the weather we have had the chance of fully preparing the turf wickets is slim. I reckon there is a fair probability that the four matches on turf this weekend may be decided by the toss of the coin?? That scenario makes it a...

Re: Ballarat Cricket Association 09/10 Opener - Goonan Middle Order - Jeffreys Quick - Johnson Medium - Colbourne Spin - Hoey Fair effort by the Redcaps to win the State T20 competition. Piss poor coverage by WIN TV. The redcaps will be hard to beat for the Final this year. If the...

Re: Ballarat Cricket Association 09/10 Hope that answers your questions...

Re: Ballarat Cricket Association 09/10 Gibba, Yes we have been dropped to Div 1. I have to take the decision to be dropped on the chin, no point complaining, however I am now very confused; I will tell you why... Some of you may remember in round 2 WCC v GPCC a chopper landed on the...

Re: Ballarat Cricket Association 09/10 Thickedge, The Duckworth Lewis method is great for evening up contests affected by rain. However it is a complicated beast, just check the following link; Duckworth Lewis Whilst being able to use the DL method would be a good thing I doubt...

Re: Ballarat Cricket Association 09/10 Here are some of my thoughts...

Re: Ballarat Cricket Association 09/10 I think honesty is important, but the comments have to be constructive and based on reason/fact not just emotion. No point saying he is a **** of an umpire... You need to give examples of inadequacies. Some reports are just crap, while others are...

Re: Ballarat Cricket Association 09/10 No probably not fair in that instance but it is in the rules and it's not a fine it is a lodgement fee - pedantic I know but... it was put there to stop players lodging clearances they never intended to go through with. It would be better if the player...

Re: Ballarat Cricket Association 09/10 Cobber, This is what I need to understand, I don't think it's a prick of a job, so - What makes it a prick of a job? Money is obviously one factor for you what else? Thanks, Steve.

Re: Ballarat Cricket Association 09/10 Dave, No apology needed. The BCUA have been copping it a bit for a lack of numbers, and it's something we can't seem to find an answer to it. I wish I knew why guys don't want to umpire. I also agree with a lot you said. Paying more is not the...
