It's actually interesting to go back and look at comments from pre-season......Tallangatta was the red hot favourite and Belvoir weren't really considered a chance. This has been the closest season for a while with all 6 top teams capable of beating anyone. Hopefully it is a close game today and...
Well it is hardly a secret when the Border Mail article is plastered all ove FB.......lol.......Belvior skipper has dropped himself because of poor form.........110 runs for the season.......prob should have happened weeks ago based on those stats
North scored 3/662 off 68 overs against the Raiders.......that must be some kind of record albeit over two innings? If they bowl right on the day, they are a real chance this year!
Given how close the comp is points wise, Belvoir really blew the chance for outright by batting for way too long. This is another example why there is simply no tactical skills in 2 day cricket. Captains just don't have the jewels to back themselves in and go for more outrights. And yes, well...
Gunna be very close, but Albury have the toughest run home and North get the Raiders game.......so I think Albury will drop out, but who knows......should be a ripper of a finals series and good to see the comp so even.
I am not sure why you think 50 over cricket is hit and giggle, unless you have never played it for a season. It is far more tactical than just batting out 80 overs for the sake of it. You need to use your bowlers more carefully instead of the best bowlers bowling all day, and batsman need to...
You know enough is enough.......it has now become obvious that the Raiders are simply not good enough to compete in the top comp........there is no blaming the current players as they are doing the best they can, but there is no moving forward with this club........the Prov comp never looked as...
I have always thought that a club should pick its best 11 for the 1's, next best for the 2's and so on. However, there is nothing wrong with giving a few young guys some exposure to the higher grades if the opportunity presents itself as long as it doesn't risk losing the game.
I appreciate that the Raiders are going through a hard time with things that have happened off season, but todays results are not good for the Prov First Grade competition (or second grade). The club were an average District side before moving back to the Prov comp, and now they are going to be...
East should win quite easily against Tallangatta, but GFs can produce some funny results once pressure starts to kick in. Was a little suprised to see East smash Wodonga so easily and also thought it strange that Lade didn't bowl more overs for Patties?
Kiewa very, very lucky to be playing...
Four team finals would work great and reward the best teams. I also think that 1 v 2 with the winner going straight into the GF and the loser playing the winner of 3 v 4 is the best set up over three weeks. Teams under the current structure can lose more games than they win, yet still make the...
Should be a good weekend of cricket:
East should win comfortably against Lavi
Wodonga to beat Tallangatta in a close one
Patties to beat North
Good luck to all teams!!!
Well it appears that the Prov comp has pretty well become a three horse race. North are sitting 4th and they have had some really big loses, so although there may be the odd upset, I would think the winner would come from Paddies, Wodonga or East.
What was the go with the Birallee wicket? 16 wickets for less than 100 runs in 33 overs.......wow! Wodonga would have been a bit nervous at 6/20 chasing 42.
Looks like some of the other games were crackers as well.
