Re: Ballarat Cricket Association 09/10 Razza, Apparently no ice at all just some silly (moronic) individual went and removed a number of pegs from the covers and the subsequent wind and foul weather did the rest... Steve.

Re: Ballarat Cricket Association 09/10 I would think that due to the weather we have had the chance of fully preparing the turf wickets is slim. I reckon there is a fair probability that the four matches on turf this weekend may be decided by the toss of the coin?? That scenario makes it a...

Re: Ballarat Cricket Association 09/10 Opener - Goonan Middle Order - Jeffreys Quick - Johnson Medium - Colbourne Spin - Hoey Fair effort by the Redcaps to win the State T20 competition. Piss poor coverage by WIN TV. The redcaps will be hard to beat for the Final this year. If the...

Re: Ballarat Cricket Association 09/10 Gibba, Yes we have been dropped to Div 1. I have to take the decision to be dropped on the chin, no point complaining, however I am now very confused; I will tell you why... Some of you may remember in round 2 WCC v GPCC a chopper landed on the...

Re: Ballarat Cricket Association 09/10 Thickedge, The Duckworth Lewis method is great for evening up contests affected by rain. However it is a complicated beast, just check the following link; Duckworth Lewis Whilst being able to use the DL method would be a good thing I doubt...

Re: Ballarat Cricket Association 09/10 Shakes, I reckon 45 - 50 overs is too many, if that was all that was bowled then the second side would still have a huge advantage next week with their 45 overs. In my opinion the cut-off to eliminate a two day game continuing should be less than...

Re: Ballarat Cricket Association 09/10 Fair to say that most not all, clubs would like to start a one day match... The rule won't change this year - it can't. However I know for a fact a rule change is already in the wings, just need to determine the over cut off. That will be the...

Re: Ballarat Cricket Association 09/10 I think honesty is important, but the comments have to be constructive and based on reason/fact not just emotion. No point saying he is a **** of an umpire... You need to give examples of inadequacies. Some reports are just crap, while others are...

Re: Ballarat Cricket Association 09/10 No probably not fair in that instance but it is in the rules and it's not a fine it is a lodgement fee - pedantic I know but... it was put there to stop players lodging clearances they never intended to go through with. It would be better if the player...

Re: Ballarat Cricket Association 09/10 Cobber, This is what I need to understand, I don't think it's a prick of a job, so - What makes it a prick of a job? Money is obviously one factor for you what else? Thanks, Steve.

Re: Ballarat Cricket Association 09/10 Dave, No apology needed. The BCUA have been copping it a bit for a lack of numbers, and it's something we can't seem to find an answer to it. I wish I knew why guys don't want to umpire. I also agree with a lot you said. Paying more is not the...

Re: Ballarat Cricket Association 09/10 No please do start Samurai, I am sick and tired of knobs taking shots at the Umpires - tell me what is your solution for a lack of umpires? Let me tell you a couple of things; We have advertised via radio, newspapers and by sending letters to more...

Re: Ballarat Cricket Association Moe, It is aimed at senior umpires so I guess if you wanted to be a senior umpire then cool... come along. I need someone from Point to operate the bar so maybe you could do that for me and kill two birds with one stone. Steve.
