While I tipped South, I wasn't expecting such a one-sided game. It would have been nice to follow it live on My Cricket though, especially given it's the premier grade of the comp. We were able to follow Divs 1, 2, 3 and 4. (Don't know about 5 and 6 - not enough interest in them)

Wonder why Oakleigh 3rds aren't playing at Scammell Reserve, their home ground. The expectation at Oakleigh was that it would be at Scammell.

I'm tipping South Caulfield - but it should be a ripper! The conditions look to be perfect for the two days.

Ah well. It's a brave man who forecasts the finalists six or seven weeks before the season starts. Two out of four ain't bad. Hampton seem to have survived a battle for relegation, and Bentleigh need to make 359 against Sth Caulfield, and even then rely on bottom placed McKinnon making 338...

47 seems more likely. Perhaps my informant couldn't subtract 1972 from 2019.

Vimpani is 38, I am lead to believe, although that information came with the disclaimer "I thought he was older".

Maybe not discussed at the AGM, but given the changes to Premier Cricket fixturing, with a standalone T20 comp, and 3rds and 4ths only playing 1 day games, I wonder whether those changes might filter down to CSB?

No idea. All I have seen is the announcement.

Bradley Erasmus has been signed by South Caulfield. Announced today.

Interesting that one of the two winners of the medal wasn't picked in the team of the year.

Although the team which beat Malvern on that day was Oakleigh, and it was a thrashing.

If Balwyn win their appeal they will get 6 points, taking them 45 and equal to Brighton, but Brighton's percentage is higher. What happens to the percentage if a game is overturned on appeal? (Or in other words, how will Balwyn get to 6th if they win the appeal?)

What happened? The results in the matches involving both Brighton and Box Hill are marked as "officlal". Is there a dispute?

Not all that very different to the South/East group. Somebody here has said "Caulfield has more depth than the continental shelf. Thorne, Anthony, Rummans, Cross out 'cheaply', yesssss, we are into them here boys; nek minnit, the Denny and Warren show! Give them the flag now".

Isn't this just making the competition more even for those clubs who spend megabucks on their 1st XI and don't care about their 4th XI? I guess you could call Division 2 the 5th XI, but I doubt that having your fourths playing in the 5th XI grade would change the minds of the executive of those...

Moorabbin forecast for Saturday is now 34. Excellent...

In Division 1 at least the forthcoming round is the reverse of rain affected round 10, so if playing a lower team it becomes a double whammy. Round 10 drawn, round 12 heat affected and possibly reduced to one day.

The Christmas break. You'd reckon with eight team grades, seven matches in, you would have played everybody and have a decent idea of where teams stand. However for reasons only known to CSB it seems as though three of the four two day games which kicked off the season have been replayed as one...

I agree that 3 T20s is too many. It would be better to have a "T20 weekend" with rounds on the Saturday and Sunday, and then continue with the 40 over games. Not fussed either way about the pink balls - how do they stand up to 80 overs compared to the red ones? Or 40 overs compared to the white...
