Are you seriously telling me they can't find 35 blokes in the whole town who want to play cricket? How is that possible....or not as it seems.

That's outrageous. Not a single person in the DVCA is worth that kind of cash to play one level above street cricket, but if clubs are going to be stupid enough to throw that money around, can't blame someone for taking it.

You and me both, cya in F grade? lol

Oh sorry I missed that part about just one dayers.

Not sure how the white ball would hold up for 80 overs though.

I like cricket but I reckon doing that, by the time the season came around I'd be ready for the off season break!

This has been a long time coming though, it was no secret that the school didn't want them there. One hopes they have a contingency plan.

Can't do that anymore with the anti seal clubbing law in place.

I thought you were going to coach Brutal.

Perhaps teams are waiting for the season structure before throwing money around.

Might as well start this. What have you heard out there?

Still irrelevant. Of the 28 times a team has won the toss and batted in the last 15 years, its 13 wins and 13 losses with 2 no results. 2 times a team has won the loss and fielded they have lost. Oddly enough you might be a slight favourite if you actually lose the toss.

So going back the last 15 years of GF results between BS and MS, I count, batting first; BS - 9 losses, 5 wins, 1 no result MS - 6 losses, 8 wins, 1 no result 15 losses, 13 wins and 2 no result grand finals in recent history between them for teams that bat first. I'm calling that difference...

So I assume in that proposal there is no relegation/promotion or do you want to go back to the old way where if you're 1s won the flag it also promoted your 2's?

I say that because I just hate looking up at a scoreboard and seeing 0/10 after 10 or 15 overs, bugs me as an opener. I have no idea why we bowled, but as I said I'm not convinced it matters much in 1 dayers.

I think we had to go harder at the start of the innings. I mean easy to say when you're sitting there sinking cans, but I've always said that in one day matches wickets don't matter, you just have to keep scoring and especially at our ground, keep hitting boundaries.

I don't think it really matters if you bat or bowl first in one day games and it's not the reason we lost.

Well yeh that's a point, but I feel the situation the stars were in might not crop up all that often. Usually there are a couple of solid celler dwellers in the grades. I don't know if 10 per grade is viable in the situation you mention, however does anyone realistically think that the current...

I still think that it should be 2 up and 2 down. If you make a GF you deserve promotion. Likewise if you're just hanging onto a grade then you probably should go down.

From what I heard there was some words between function attendees and security one night. No idea if that's true or not, but whatever the case it seems like the school doesn't want them there and hasn't for some time. It's not surprising though, private religious schools have always been a pain...
