Ummmm....some interesting results this weekend. Could be a lot closer comp than some think!!!!!
While the season is long, everybody knows that point before Christmas are vital for finals berths. I heard there was a hattrick against bulleen from the big wooly fella. I've heard he can throw em down when he wants to.Don't read too much into 1day results in October. With under prepared wickets, anything can happen...and will.
Not too late. Anyone who wants to join can have the tie for the first week.Is it too late to join the tipping comp??
I wouldn't have thought under prepared wickets would have anything to do with East Donny and Rich City batting first and defending good scores or marcellin chasing 187 for a tie. Maybe more of a factor in Ashy v st Kevs but Ashy did win the toss by the looks of it. Well done St Kevs. You outer East blokes keep living in your insular bubble and keep thinking the only way to have success in Dunstan is to buy ex district blokes. I think Skitso is more on the money.Don't read too much into 1day results in October. With under prepared wickets, anything can happen...and will.
Bulleen now have a massive gulf between their experienced gun players and the inexperienced last 4 or 5 blokes in their team. Davidson also did a hammy which didn't hurt RCs cause. Saw a glimpse of what Porter can do. He is a very good player.What happened at Bulleen and Mont Albert???????

I don't think it has anything to do with unprepared wickets... Even if the wickets are a bit dicey, it is the same for both sides. You would also think that the sides with better quality players would be better equiped (technique wise) to handle or exploit difficult conditions. If "favorites" were beaten on the weekend, it's because a better team won on the day and nothing else.
Game on for the season!
I think that playing on a poor wicket means lower scores and therefore means there is more chance of an upset, because it brings the luck of a shooter or a popping ball dismissing a batsman etc. Also, on a poor wicket heaves across the line are more effective than a beautiful cover drive, and a lucky 20 of slogs and edges can win a game of 100 v 100.
However I don't particularly feel this was the case on Saturday.
Oh hard luck to Ashwood getting rolled for 44 v Heathmont. Back to the nets boys!
