Taylor misses 5 games , back for last game.... Douttas have signed south african bowler Hayward ,played a few tests 5 or so years ago !!! apparently he is going out with their prez's sister , he will dominate that comp

Surely not. Hayward could play for the Vics if he wanted to spend time in Melbourne. Why would he come and play VTCA? Unless he wants to actually seriously injure some poor pr|ck

How Mario Auciello [36 wkts @ 16] didnt get a gig is beyond me.

I dont really care who's coming or going..as long as the great man Lyndsy Howarth is going around again the league will be a beautiful place!!!

Peoples thoughts on last years team of the year....I think that side would give a lot of distict sides a run for there money!!
 
Re: Best cricketers in the VTCA

There all just rumours, although Rummans i could believe.... Matthews deserved to be outright spinner as he had a sensational year and there's only 2 players who were good district players, Okeefe and Taylor , so not sure about a district side, maybe beat North

I think you'll find ( lack of statsman) that all but Contessa of the aussies were handy district 1s cricketers..porter and Russel both would have played over 100 games..baker plyed a stack, Rutley and Matthews both played several seasons!!
Matthews wasnt outright spinner...Rutleys spinner also!
 
Re: Best cricketers in the VTCA

Contessa didnt play 1 game, russell not sure and porter did play a bit but wasnt a star(except 1 season). Yes rutley and matthews played but not that much. Matthews should of been the sole spinner i meant fool,Auciello got 36wkts and was stiff to miss

Auciello stiff to miss after taking 36!! so how stiff would have Rutley been to miss out after taking 37?
Check the stats...and change your name..
 
Re: Best cricketers in the VTCA

6 wkts Big Deal.... Rutley v Yarraville 0-98 off 19overs v Keilor 3-147 off 36overs, thats a walloping against the good sides. Matthews v Yarraville 5-57 off 24overs , v Keilor 2-86 off 34overs. He was better last year against the good sides.Rutley ,good year but cheap wkts against the lower teams. I like my name because i am the statman

Good argument....but i think you'll find Doutta made finals...
 
Re: Best cricketers in the VTCA

they or you maybe, got smashed, although stiff with opening bowler going down and tankard battling hard. They need a few bowlers to be competitive but from what ive heard,they'll be up there again.keilor have lost a few but i hear fraser might be playing. mckay,auciello and tankard could've snuck into team but overall its a fair team. have you heard any news?

Whos Fraser and McKay?
 
Re: Best cricketers in the VTCA

Fraser from sunshine united, i heard he plays footy there so sounds fair dinkum. J.Mckay ,1st change bowler, medium pacer who had a decent year
 
Re: VTCA Thread

Sources tell me that Royal Park Brunswick have recruited well.

Ins
- Clint Hillas: (New Coach) Top order bat/medium pacer, Clint returns to the club where he played whilst a junior, before playing District for the last 8 years. Returning to play with his cousins Contessa & Scott Ferrier.
- Cam Stewart: Left Arm Orthodox Spinner/handy bat
- Couple of others, not sure of names
- 4 Englishmen coming and one to be upgraded to play in 1st XI after getting a look at them, last year they had 3, with one playing 1st XI
- Plus one player who was out long term last year due to footy injury

Outs
- 1 Englishman

Finished last season strong after team gelled. Tipping they could the dark horse this season.

Contessa, would have played district cricket ones for sure, if he hadn't pursued an AFL career, through his teens/early twenties. His stats last year were exceptional, last player to have those all round stats in my humble opinion was Stewart Carboon....for all the veterans out there.

Sounds like they might be competitive.I'd like to see him bat top 3 instead of hiding at 5 and 6 because i think he could handle it and their top 4 bats are pathetic.As for his bowling, he aint quick, he doesnt swing it, but gets wickets.

Nante Haywood & Graeme Rummins I herd it all now......

Havent heard the Rummans one I must admit, thought he was on his way back to NSW. Hayward Im thinking is half true, word a few months ago out of Douttas was that they were signing an ex test fast bowler from England. So it defiantly fits the bill.

Surely not, and if its true, Yarraville will be spewing because im sure they could triple whatever he gets in $$$$$$$

You need a life statman or you have a great memory!!!! Any other movements with any senior sides ????
 
Re: VTCA Thread

Seen in the local papers, that Rainer Reber has signed with Seabrook to coach them. Wonder if any of his former team mates will cross over with him. The news article went a little further stating that he will recruit heavly.
