I doubt you will get many takers for 100 overs of cricket in a day.

They've been on the verge since they got relegated 10 years ago. 3 x runners-up, 3 x semi-finalist. It's almost as if the players want to stay down in Money Shield, where they can get some of that $58,000 in incentives and match payments.

I disagree that we will eventually end up with all one day cricket. In my experience, the majority dislike playing them. They're great if you're an opening batsman or an unfit fast bowler. What about spinners and middle order players? Say goodbye to making hundreds and getting 5-fors. How many...

F Grade is 3rds cricket for most clubs. If it becomes only one-dayers, a lot of players are going to miss out on the opportunity to get a decent bat and bowl. F Grade doesn't need to change at all. If anything, fewer one-dayers. This season it was 6 two-dayers and 6 one-dayers, throw in a couple...

Bloody unlucky? You missed out by 1 point, but got beaten by the bottom side! Luck has nothing to do with it.

I always find it funny when people try to put a loss down to a single ball or single umpiring decision. Bundoora United lost by 1 wicket in Round 2! There was still 9 more matches left - 54 points on offer. The top team only received 48 points for the season.

Toddy finds that hard to believe. What Toddy also finds hard to believe is that Lower (or anyone) would pay money for average suburban cricketers.

And he batted at 9! Not hard to see where Lower lost this game. Just didn’t get their big stage player into the game. He would have won it for them.

Before testing himself at the highest level, perhaps he should have some success at a lower level. He's never made a hundred in Money Shield in 81 games and has never made a hundred for Eltham in 200 games. Perhaps he's not as good as people (or himself) think he is.

If Beamer83 is the official spokesman for Riverscum joining the DVCA, I want my club to vote no. What a bunch of arrogant, over-entitled wankers. Stay in Jika where you belong.

And their 2nds, 3rds, and 4ths will have to be squeezed into D-G grades. Could be some unexpected relegations to make way for them.

Yes, Toddy is keen to know more. Cricket Master must have had some inside mail.

If Bundoora Park and Rivergum come into the DVCA, as has been suggested, there's 2 sides into Mash/Money plus 6 sides that will need to slot into C grade and below. Some of the weaker teams might find themselves relegated, despite not finishing bottom. It wouldn't be a bad thing to be honest...

Toddy doesn't drink, he's an athlete. If Lower Plenty lose, their captain will have a lot to answer for. He's allowed Heidelberg to make over 200, while not bowling their big game player who has picked up crucial wickets against Banyule and Bundoora United.

The big stage player didn't even get a bowl!

Ben Rowe? Is this the same Ben Rowe that has made 105 runs and taken 7 wickets from 11 matches this season?

I remember back in the day when they were converting grounds to sand base. Pitches would get covered in sand and it would stuff the ball up completely. The ball would get scuffed up very early and by the end of the day there was no stitches left on the ball. If anything, sand on the pitch...

While picking on Tongs is always funny, this one just doesn't make any sense. Why would you dump a coach, but keep him as captain when he averaged 10.89 with the bat?

Toddy was right that it wouldn't be a run fest. Smashing around a few Mill Park hacks doesn't make a ground quick.

With 71 extras. Quality cricket.
