Definitely. I reckon there are 10 clubs who would be looking at finals. Should be a great season.

They have two gun bats thats for sure but beyond that they're as similar as any other side. Jake Thorne with the ball is their only standout bowler. Think a few may have overestimated them prior to season.

Any idea why Graf hasn't been bowling?
When/if Graf and Warren get up and running with the ball then they will again be vrey hard to beat.
Think when the two dayers start and Thorne can start bowling 30 overs instead of 4 or 9 they will become harder to beat.
Also do not think we will see Rummans make many more low scores, I've still got him down for 800 runs.

Fair point on Thorne bowling maximum overs as he certainly restricts from one end and also takes wickets. Regarding warren, I think he may be getting on and not up to it anymore body wise.

A couple of remarkable results in East/West,Yarraville chasing 248 at Bayswater and getting a tie,Hoppers all out 19,players would have been in the 3ar by 1.30.
The biggest surprise was Taylors Lakes,easily accounting for the much vaunted Werribee,no sign of their English bowler after the 1st round ?

Taylors Lakes have had a huge start to the year! Correct re Freckingham, not sure what has happened there.

Werribee has lost the Englishmen after the first round due to doing his hamstring
Also heard it will be that one of the Dean brothers won't play after this week

It was alluded to at the time of his appointment but David Alleyne did not last long at Brighton, 6 weeks and gone. One of the more ordinary blokes in cricket and no surprise to see him depart.
Best of luck to Brighton in finding a replacement

WOW. What a shocking coach and club appointment. What happened? How could you last 6 weeks?

Not sure re the club appointment comment - they didn't have too many options so late in the season after Rushworth was deported. Big job and no one at the club put their hand up, so they went with a recommendation and it hasn't worked.

Noticed an interesting tweet from Paul Amy yesterday,quote,"Hear an experienced sports administrators approaching some heavy hitters about the future ofSubbies cricket.
Adamant it should stay.''
Nice to know but I didn't know we were going anywhere anyway.

Unless the pitches were covered Monday night, tuesday morning, it's fair to say that not many games will go ahead this week.
Willy and Melton in the east/west will be quite happy if Saturday is deemed to be a washout for all games given they have already claimed the points.

Would have thought Melton and Willy would be pretty keen to get on with the prospect of 10 points in the offing.
No doubt!! if games do get on, 10 points is well and truly on the cards.
Melton and Willy putting to gether some nice form over the last few weeks.
East/West group looks very competitve this year.
