For what its worth, completely unbiased and with respect to boro and eltham (havent seen yet) stars have perfect team balance and now strong off field. Very hard to beat
For what its worth i played on the old decks over in the ferntree gully for 2 yrs and i loved it. Bowlers treated harshly tho so it would be worth bringing back rule of new ball available after 200 runs to even things up. From where i stand now still too many bowlers not pitching up enough is...
On behalf of most of the blokes on here xzibit i apologise for the garbage that troll puts on here. I certainly dont ask 4 it. I had ur blokes in 20/20 vs whittlesea a few weeks ago. Lots of laughs. 2nd game in money shorty and looking forward to opportunity
Weak as piss henderson. Gutless, nameless. Must be proud. How would u know how i umpire. Ring clubs i had today let them tell u if gd or not. Talk cricket wanka
What a game. Sth morang 159. Wanderers 5/40 and 9/135. Scores level and a run out opportunity but the bails were knocked off before ball arrived. Then aussie mann hits winning runs. Stiff morang but well lead and showed gd spirit. Gd game, well umpired!
Not personal? You are the only 1 on here still bangin on about my past. No, this is very personal. Something has happened between you and I along the journey. When I played I was always respectful of all opponents and always hung around after games and don't remember any run ins - not that would...
You are the only 1 on
you are the only 1 on here or anywhere still bangin on about that. U obviously dont do ur homework. As ur too gutless to contact me someone will eventually put u in and u be tieing ur own rope. So keep going. Dont bother me if u keep going or stop. The feelers are out...
Mate appreciate words but if you and others read post, I gave my 'umpires' opinion first which is exactly how I would talk to all players during a game. Ive already been sworn at twice by players on game day at not reacted where some umpires of the past may have reported straight away. Its a...
Again i was asked for an opinion, unlike you, and i gave one. And again i never spoke about myself or my cricket resume. And if ur happy to reveal ur cricket resume (and name) we can compare if u like?
i got asked for an opinion moron and as im standing in the best position possible i gave one and i did say he was very solid and correct. what has my record as a cricketer got anything to do with it? and batting at number 3 in any form of game is harder than at 7 or are you another ghost who...
Ill give my unbiased umpires opinion first. Techniquely correct, very solid. Opinion as a past player, pretty much same. Word of advice to bowlers. PITCH UP! Must have hit 45-50 runs square of wicket (hook/pull/cut). As most ex turf players find, if u pitch up driving is hard. But similar to...
Lets agree to disagree david. ive only been umpiring for 5 minutes and its just a thought on how to recruit more guys by dangling a carrot if ur good enough, same as players getting paid to play our 'park cricket' as u often call it. Minney gets more than u cos he's better. Gibbs got more than...
There is a fundamental flaw in ur argument dave. Buddy franklin plays Aussie rules footy. So does fred smith in the ressies at sth morang. One guy gets 1.1mill a year and the other gets a beer and a pie each sat. Why? The answer is obvious. Test match umpires would be on around 100k a year at a...
No point bagging the umpires mate. Take it from an old hack who has been round. But to answer ur question why dont u give it a go for a season? Aint,as easy as it seems. Yes, mainly lbw or ct behind are the contentious decisions but ive learnt 4or 5 new laws/rules this year that i didnt know...
In answer to the question of money, dont know. I am surprised tho that barclay umps get same coin as e grade umps. U wouldnt find any e grade players getting paid! The $130 a week is pretty gd already but u always need a lure to get more umps of quality. If it were up to me id say barclay guys...
Probably have to side with tongs on this one, unfortunately. Cant mess with one rule just to better another. Look i was a bit of a whinger when i was playing. I used to think how the hell could that umpire not hear that nick or see the ball pitched outside leg. I never abused an umpire but i did...
I can tell u blokes, im really enjoying the umpiring. Happy to serve apprenticeship in lower grades (than i played) and see the young blokes coming thru and a few not so young blokes on their way out. Money is a positive but not the be all. I get a reasonable level of respect, mainly from past...
