Re: The Cricket Thread
Inside 40 overs too...
No one is prepared to be patient and occupy the crease. This, “I’ll smash my way out of trouble” mentality is not the way to go. Ok for Matt Hayden, not ok for blokes with less than half his ability. It’s definitely a mindset problem.

Re: The Cricket Thread
CA have been forced to try and rebuild the side. I can see why they have picked most of the guys they have. However... at what point do you just say 'screw it' and tear the team apart and try to rebuild completely?
Renshaw MUST come back in.
Maxy MUST be in there somewhere too.
Marsh brothers must be on their last legs again... well... except Mitch, who is VC.

Re: The Cricket Thread
That young Victorian prodigy Pucovski just scored a double hundred before his 21st BDay. Only the 9th player to do it - mostly greats of Australian cricket.
If that Indian superstar kid Shaw can play Test cricket at 18 or 19, why not this kid? He batted at 3, but you probably bat him at 5 or 6 on debut.

Ali just got run out by a grade cricket trick play. The old, the ball didnt actually go for 4 trick, so the batsman are chatting mid pitch.
Some weird runouts in this match!?!?

Re: The Cricket Thread
Another massive score from SMarsh. 4. TBF, it was a jaffa, but still another failure.
Re: The Cricket Thread
I know he scores the odd great century but time to stamp S Darsh's cards and send him off. He just doesn't produce consistently enough.
Gonna be a long summer of poor batting performances methinks.

Re: The Cricket Thread
A 5 ball net session after a 12month lay off will do that. You're prep wasn't the greatest boner. Get down to the nets a little earlier this week mate.bonehead wrote: ↑October 22, 2018, 12:01 pmbranxton - bowled for 1 trying to hit their pie chucker leggy into the Royal federal.-PJ- wrote:Where's this show of skill, guile and poise happening at ?bonehead wrote: ↑October 19, 2018, 11:26 am make my comeback tomorrow, a 5 ball net session after a season off and promoted 2 grades on an expected raging greentop, should be good

Re: The Cricket Thread
Excuses excuses mate. Very grade cricketer of you to find a reason for being castled by the pie chucker.
So, to follow TW, here are a few more coaching tips for you:
Starting with TWs, use ya feet.
OR
Elbow up, play it straight back where it came from.
OR
Dont play across the line.
OR
Get set 1st.
OR
Dont play cross bat shots early in your innings.
OR
Just rotate the strike a bit.
OR
Dont try to hit the ball too hard; time it.
etc etc

Boney hasn't got time to block and take in the atmosphere. He's regularly promoted up the order and given clear instruction..
Don't -
1. Don't take centre.
2. Don't look around at the field settings.
Do -
1. Get the bowlers attention before he runs in and point to the car park outside the ground that the ball is going.
2. Ignore line and length at all costs and smash the cover off the ball. Boney hasn't got time for a quick single..it's over the fence or nothing.
Respect no one..

1. Missed it and:
a) got bowled
b) LBW (yep no 3m rule back then)
2. Nicked it to the keeper or slip
3. Skied it for a easy catch to pretty well anyone.
