Point is: there are ways around it!
Maybe when clubs feel that people do not fit a category properly there should be a mechanism that allows them a more appropriate points allocation? Maybe it should be left to club's to formally ask Russell to manually allocate the individual's points using a...
What do you guys think about the player points system?
On the surface it sounds like a good idea, but I think it needs to be better worded and some of the points further thought through. It does not sound like it was written by a lawyer (thank goodness), but it should be recognised that whoever...
Would the Pom be an ex Cy's player? Specifically which 3 new players did you pick up and which kids are you promoting... obviously the departures have left a pretty big void.
I guess clubs in general have to keep an eye on retention these days. The point system has allowed retained players to...
Is it just my interpretation or are we just leaking Saturdays. 1st Saturday of October is no play. Christmas Eve then falls on a Saturday too. Then our season is not lengthened at the end. Is that a wrong interpretation??
Great post Jika Jika! A very honest summation.
I notice you've lost 4 first class players plus Tarek (whatever his highest level was). You've also lost 2 Englishmen. So you've lost 7 players, how are you covering these losses???
You could be right! Personally, I would only use a brand new cherry. With a little practice it plays as if coming from a nifty opening bowler and I can afford to put their kids through college (ie buy one every 3 months).
Mate, its definitely a good training tool, but don't get your hopes up. I think someone like Graham Gooch advocates its use. On the surface its a good buy, but be warned. I took care of mine and it only lasted 3 months. One of the fingers broke off mid throw
Do you think that a one nation dominance of cricket's politics and finances is destroying our game that we cherish???

Simon Taufel is he best umpire in world cricket by far. Ultimately I wonder how long it will be before he feels the brunt of India...

Its sad to see someone with so much talent not make it any further. This post belongs more in the 'Anyone Know Of Any Moves Or Signings For The 2011/12 Season???' thread.
Hypothetically, what if the 'recalcitrants' were members of a club and the club thought it would be too much hassle and widely unpopular to discipline so many? All respect to Russell, but he has to be 60 years old. I'm sure he could hear the doof doof, but I don't know how he would hear comments...
I think the point you've missed regarding the noise is that it was among other things intended to interfere with the umpires ability to hear nicks when the away team was fielding (I have heard this directly from a home team source)!!! What happened to only the 22 players trying to influence the...
That's poor form by the players.
I heard a similar story come out of the Spotswood v Williamstown CYMS Senior Division game last season. The 2nds got washed out so they turned up to the 1sts game. The Spotswood 2nds and supporters although they did not brown eye anyone they yelled insults all...
I have a fair idea, but I'd like to hear other peoples' opinions on what do they think are the main selling points of the VTCA?
Does anyone know if the VTCA scouts these clubs or do the clubs go after the VTCA?
One thing is for certain... The increase in clubs is surely going to mean a greater...
Hopefully we claim that extra week back in March then! With all the washouts we've had over the last couple of seasons you would really not want to shorten the season any further (unless the VTCA execs are plants from soccer (Football Federation Victoria) who want to kill of cricket and take the...
