Regarding Premier Cricket: Cam Armstrong spent a fair time down at Melbourne, stuck in the lower grades most of the time. Lachie Crawford played a lot of 2nds at Geelong and Camberwell. Think you can generally place Dunstan at a level between 2nds and 3rds Premier cricket. They'd beat nearly...

As we enter into the T20 phase, a couple of key points: Bowling teams: the success of St Kilda last year illustrates the importance of having five reliable bowlers in your side for T20 cricket. Beware the Poms: the English imports all have a great amount of experience in the format compared to...

I can see Footscray falling out. I don't think that Dandenong are one of the top 6 sides, but they've had a great start to the year. Still, don't put it past them to have a late season slump, seen it before and Dempsey's curse of not making finals could well continue. Frankston and St Kilda are...

Dandenong rock and rolls St Kilda on a wet one. Butterfield and Boland take big hauls for the weekend. Northcote nullified out at Casey, Wade coming back obviously didn't help their cause. Delmont gets a ton on debut, certainly brings an extra facet to the Tigers' game. With Victoria having a...

...Except Keath isn't bowling at the moment. Hasn't bowled a ball in anger this year.

Keat ends up being 12th man. Bit stiff, but with McDonald out I think the Vics wanted the extra bowling of Sheridan. Carters would have to be a bit disappointed not to have gotten a game so far this year, done more with the stick than Sheridan, and now Keath overtakes him with a super week. I...

Not much of a surprise there, the MOS connection still apparent. Big game between the Rams and the Saints, the Rams have thrown a few of the blokes who they've given a taste of the top grade in their side and given them the opportunities (Dehmel, Holland, Coughlan), and it'll be interesting to...

What odds on Droppa for the Ryder? Bookies might start paying out soon.

Possibility of more washouts this weekend. Going to be interesting to see the effect that the T20 games will have on the runs and wicket standings in the competition.

Everyone knew beforehand that you had to get two lots of 20 overs in to get a game and the points. The same rule applied, except for it being 15 overs (which is the minimum for a game to be played at that level, rather than the 20 for district), in the state games, where we've taken our rules...

Seymour and Dan King have both played some Futures League in the past 12 months. King has been away and only just returned from the US two weeks ago, so only played his first game back in the firsts this year. If someone can notify me how Seymour has four district tons, I'd love to know, as I've...

Ian Holland in the Futures League now? Hmm.

Most clubs will be hoping that Hodge doesn't play too often now that he's retired from First Class cricket. Maybe he'll retire from Two Day cricket as well?? Really don't think Northcote will win the flag, a chance of finals, but they don't have the batting depth to support Theo against the...

Re: Victorian Premier Cricket - 2010/11 Pretty sure that this talk is incorrect, FTR. I know he's over here. Or are you indicating that he's injured? I've heard that Delmont for Richmond is out till Christmas, with a footy injury.

Re: Victorian Premier Cricket - 2010/11 Interesting to see Michael Wallace from St Kilda withdraw his clearance. Has spent a lot of time in underage development programs, still playing 3rd XI at stages last year for the Saints. Any takers on what team he'll start in?

Re: Victorian Premier Cricket - 2010/11 Don't know that he'll play the first game, but he'll definitely play some games throughout the year. Really not that much different to Tasmania employing Bevan as an assistant coach, or South Australia doing the same with Matthew Elliott, so that...

Re: Victorian Premier Cricket - 2010/11 Depends how you judge it. Don't know if he'd be on that much at St Kilda, but when you throw in the work he gets with Cricket Victoria working with the Academy, then maybe it's a possibility...

Re: Victorian Premier Cricket - 2010/11 A more genuine 2nd XI picked for a game against NSW, which Vics have long had and falls outside of CA fixturing, so there are no age restrictions. Forsyth Jewell Quiney M. Hill Stray Gulbis Salpietro Loorham+ Cleary Gilmour Hart Boland

Re: Victorian Premier Cricket - 2010/11 Was an interesting team, I think that the three overage guys that were selected were all only one year out of the age restriction - Holland, Stray and Gilmour. Tormey would have every right to be absolutely spewing. Think he could have a bit of Gulbus...

Re: Eastern Cricket Association 2010/11 It's not the fact that the ground is small that would be an issue to the Council, but the proximity to passing traffic and pedestrians.
