Irrespective, getting around in a billabong etc hat is a shit look on the cricket field. I'm all for sun smart but that should be a fine from the umpire.

I think you quoted the wrong post?
I agree though, thats just not good enough, no matter what grade you're playing. I know players forget their hat every week. That happens, but surely someone has a spare in their bag.

Not surprising to see the DVCA have come to their senses and not given snowman a game to umpire. stupid appointment in the first place.

I think that it was Tongs that said not to place too much importance on the early one day games, but with Boro winning both games from tough positions in the last couple of overs, that the 12 points they have now could be very handy come seasons end.
A really even comp, momentum is huge, we were 8/56 and looking in the poo, but conjured a good score of 115, and even with Morang at 3/65, momentum swung and we took 7/16 off 19 overs to win. Sides are even and it is all about playing the entire game out, never think that a side is beat.
G'Boro both games proves that as well.

I didn't say that at all, I said to not write a team off based on the first game or two, nor do you start talking flags after round 1.
Runs on the board early helps, so getting early wins in the season is a bonus. but the 2 days games is where people/sides get found out. That's why I'm stoked we've started so strongly, 2-0 going into the serious stuff is a huge bonus.

Heidelberg & Banyule have improved? On what basis, Heidelberg have played 2 of the weaker teams in the comp, don't have any bowlers, have put all their eggs & $$$ into the Sri Lankan. Will rely heavily on him with bat & ball. Both will finish like last season.

Don't think they'll make the 4. Didn't think they would at the start of the year, and at 0-2 my opinion hasn't changed. Taking last years ladder, and assuming they don't roll anyone outright (which they won't!). Three losses put Macleod at 4th. They've had 2, barring a major upset they won't beat Diamond Creek. So they haven't got a lot of room to wiggle.

He's having a well deserved break. He might be back. He might not.

Pretty happy with Boro's start, 12 points from 2 games playing 2 of the tougher teams, although Money looks pretty even this year. Not playing anywhere near our best as a team yet either.

Yes I know they played each other. Was a close game. I believe I said they would make finals. Not an ideal start, 1 day cricket usually throws up unexpected results. Am sure we will find out more with 2 day cricket.
