Swan Hill and District Cricket Association Returns

[Scrappa's Love Child]

Don't know what happened to this website's greatest thread but I have the pelasure in bringing it back to bigfooty.

Word on the street is Dan McNees made some of the competition's best batsmen look second rate at a training session earlier in the week. This was done off a 3-step run-up and with a broken finger.
This bloke must be thinking "what the hell am I doing back here?":confused:

Fair dinkum? So there is a fair chance Swan Hill might field a half-serious side on its home turf given the travel factor.....can you imagine it....

It would look something like this I'd reckon....

1.Ritchie Boulton (Nyah)
2.Andy Abbott (TUFF)
3.Alan Hatcher (SH) (if available)
4.Michael Johnson (SH)
5.Jed Mensforth (St Mary's)
6.Darren McNees (Tooley)
7.Lee McNab (Tooley)
8.Kade Groat (Woor)
9.James King (St Mary's)
10.*new Woorinen spinner* (Woor)
11.Luke Bennett (RSL)
12.Nick Dillon (???)

Not a bad side.. Although i think i would prefer an inform P.Munro over Hatcher, and i couldn't see Groat coming in above King?? Perhaps one of the speedsters from Nully could be in the mix also??

Iamfooty, is there a chance of posting a list of players that have registered/transfered from outside the league. Most of the names on that list have been swithching teams since Richie Boutlon's mustards were white.

[Posty22]

Brad Clifton??

Rick Heathcote for the 2nd XI??

Yeah its all cleared up Stevie, it took weeks of visits to the Doc, continuously draining my figs to be ready for the big occasion.;)

Ha Ha, sorry boys, he was invited to the big day until he broke my ribs and dislocated my shoulder at training on Sunday with one of his thunderbolts ( off 3 steps). He is not popular in my household at the moment.. I certainly understand why u blokes are terrified of him.:)

[FROGDOG17]

Good luck for the weekend KELVIN. Hope it all goe's well mate. Wish Cantal godd luck aswell. I'll have a cold one for ya's!!

Go Kalgoorlie Railways PREMIERS 2006!
Anyone want to come play over here next year and double your wage while your at it? Pretty good joint here.

[HappyDayz]

I have it on good authority that Grant McNees is going to do a Sean Charles for his Dec 16 match against Woorinen. Certain insecurites that came out of a particualar event last year are already worring the big fella. Ie The Annual Rum Off, and being finsished off by a couple of midgets in Morpeth and Steike.

**BREAKING NEWS***

Some great news to come out of last night's league AGM. There will be a few senior representative games this year (excluding country week), most of which will be in Swan Hill. Maryborough, Northern Districts and Sunraysia are all keen to take on the might of the SHDCA at some stage. Official dates are still to be confirmed but what a great opportunity for the league to regain some pride and strength. Surely this will provide some incentive for the competition's best players to step up a level....maybe even encourage them to continue representing the league when country week arrives...Maybe we wont have to pick players like Nick Dillon and Al Ward.....maybe we can start getting serious.....(just jokin Wardy...you're alright)

Interesting to see that the league are revisiting this concept. The whole reason that these matches stopped was because the best players were not making themselves available to play, mainly because games were played on Sundays.

It will be interesting to see if the leagues best will get behind this.

What are some thoughts from some of you players out there?

Johnson must have improved a fair bit from his less productive days at Tragic Park. Fairly handy opening bowling combination if McNees and King take the new cherry.

Yep, you wouldn't really want to be an opening batsmen with these two ripping in at you, especially when Kingy was in his prime. Frightening!!!

See the big friendly giant on today's back page of The Guardian. Not a bad lowlight -- getting bowled by Shane Warne on the MCG. I woud tell my grandkids that!

I just wanna know if McNees has actually gone through the disgusting act of swearing. Or even worse...cursing!

Roota...from what i hear you received an SCC cap on Saturday?

What division are Swan Hill. SDCA jumped two divisions last year. Got pre-tournament promotion to Div 3 then won it...so puts them in divy 2 this year.

Any chance you would don an SDCA cap. Seems like Bendigo CW has gained some momentum for SDCA after last year. SDCA should field another competitive side this year. From the sounds of things you may be the difference?

How does Jason "wobbo" Robertson go at cricket?

How does Jason "wobbo" Robertson go at cricket?
He goes really well, as you can see by the scores above. Made 30-odd and took two wickets on debut. Good technique as an opening batsmen, and has the potential to open the bowling. Nice control and has bought that Darwin swing with him......Loves his cricket and loves winning. Handy pick-up for the rejuvinated tigers!:thumbsu:

[Scrappa's Love Child]

Any scores from the other match

Tooleybuc won easy. Darren McNees made 51, took no wickets from 4 or 5 overs. no other major run scorers. Lee McNab made a quack, while he, the Barnes boys and Grant McNees all took 2 wickets each. I believe St Mary's were Mensforth-less.....:confused:

Can't say that would surprise many??
While everyone has been rightfully talking up Dan's return as a bowler. This may be a sign of things to come as his batting will be a class above most comers this year also!!

Not bad tipping..
Harrison did indeed get the Swans home.
Humphries did bowl well and was unlucky not to get Nully home.
Woorinen got home with 3 from the new spinner.
While the StMary's tip?? take it it was a baised opinion??

Yeah not a bad effort at all -- psychic-like......They tell me big Patty Caldwell lofted one over the infield to secure the win Sockit.....how are you boys shaping up for the whole season? Talk was a few blokes might be departing. Wud be good to see last year's strugglers (Woora, RSL and Nully) get back up around the top again.....

Talk was a few blokes might be departing. Wud be good to see last year's strugglers (Woora, RSL and Nully) get back up around the top again.....
I think with a bit of luck and some confidence for the younger guys we can push for a top4 spot.. It seems likely that Ryan will depart in about a month but the rest of the squad is intact and it will probably depend (like most teams) on if we can get our best team to play most weeks, which has been a problem in recent years..

How does Jason "wobbo" Robertson go at cricket?


Goes very well. Hit's the ball very hard is what I was told. Was also told he needs to learn some cricket etiquette after he clapped and cheered when Woorinen hit a boundary in the dying overs. While he was at square leg umpiring mind you. Apparently a few of the Nyah boys weren't impressed.

Really? didn't see that. I was too busy dancing on the boundary line when Dion CArmichael hit the winning runs off mustards Boulton.....Always love playing each other Nyah and Woorinen and it shows in the scores......even when Nyah has been the powerhouse of the comp. Good bunch of boys and good to see Mick blooding some youngsters in Bruton and Paynter...both big futures at senior level. Think we are in for a cracker of a year..., especially if the rumoured rep games take off....

Big Sav Demaria will be buying Kade (Dr Finch) Groat a beer after Thursday training this week after his terrible effort at first slip on Saturday. Groat finished with the awesome figures of 3/6 off eight, but it could have been better. Big Sav let one go straight threw him after a thick edge, looked like a pregnant seal doing a commando roll when he hit the turf, letting thru 3 valuable runs. Take out his no-ball and the finch man would have had 3/2 of eight overs.....unbelievable given he was bowling to the best opening combo in the comp - Mustards Boulton/Kent Wooding....Well down Sav

after some time away from the thread to take some heat off me i thought i would re-engage in some friendly banter with fellow cricket lovers.
it was interesting to note that whilst in my local e-works (not S.H) I overheard an employee saying Bennett is moving to Bendigo and hasn't informed R.S.L he will be playing cricket down there. can you confirm or deny this ROOTA, will this leave a huge hole in the R.S.L bowling line up and leadership group?

Yeah it does have the potential to be a very even year and sneaking a few early wins could be the difference in the end..
Do you know if the NWM (or Luke Bennett Medal) is continuing in the same format as last season?, has the sponsor changed?, or will the voting will be covered in the local news?

After talking with the man in charge of sport i have been informed the Noel Watson Medal is continuing in the same format as last year. The round one leaderboard will in fact be in Friday's Guardian, along with ladders. Whether this will continue for the whole season he couldn't tell me as he is leaving in 3-4 weeks to greener pastures...the new sports guy has big shoes to fill to please the local cricketing world....

Buddy Buddy,
I am very sorry for bagging the Johnson (Hawthorn) who dominated SHDCA the other weekend. 10 runs and 2 overs for 0-11. Worthy of votes. He needs a 100 next dig for his credentials to be safe from an absolute battering. I mean with the bat too.

apology accepted veteran but i'm unsure as to why your apologising?
by the sarcasm sensed in your post i believe it has something to do with you bagging johnson.
i didn't tell you that you can't bag him (i'm pretty sure the majoirty of the league has at some stage) but you shouldn't go bagging blokes presuming you know all the facts, hence you had the wrong person.
he will destroy da blues with the bat this weekend watch:D

[Appin Vet]

Not being a smartass, but was Johnson a regular 1st grade player? If he was, he should knock alot of runs up on these rockhard wickets. Will be interesting to see how he performs. I'm pretty sure he is dirty on himself.

I should have at least let him settle and get a feel for the standard of cricket in Swan Hill before having a say. Good players let their numbers talk and I'm sure he will silence some critics in the ensuing matches.

I'll stick with the Blues in a tight one..
Have to tip the Bucs, but if Nully get a full team will be close..
Nyah should hit back against the Saints..
TUF might sneak in after a norrow loss last week..

Some very close ones should be a the cards again in what should be another interesting round..

Well its good to see you guys all having a go

My Tips are as follows

Swan Hill comfortably, Harrison again to top the scores
Nully in an absolute nail bitter, hewitt the one to watch and smith could score. McNees will he do damage with the ball??
ST Mary's to bounce back
Woorineen to continue their winning feeling, crow the star

We will see how i go this week:thumbsu:

So does everyone still think that two day games should be 80 overs, you see what happens in the one dayers and we don't finish till late and often its dark, yet when Nully-Culgoa brought this issue up at the meeting this was quickly put aside. It was raised possibly changing two day games back to 70 overs????:confused:

Personally i would rather play 70 overs as it gives you a little more time to slip into the tins after the game, what do you guys think?

You would still keep one day games as they are.

It's got nothing to do with the format of the games..
They just start to late to fit in before DLS starts. Until the clock is turned forward the 1 dayers should start at 12.30!!
A grade should stay at 80 overs also..

Strewth!

Our stupid Suburban Association in Hobart decreed 12.30pm far too late to start a one dayer when our club put it to them!

The earliest time we can start on Saturday's due to Little Athletics being there!

What time do your one dayers start now?

Start time for us is 10.30am - only good thing about this is the obvious earlier finish time, approx 5pm.

You know the stupid thing though? We used to start all one dayers at 12 Noon!

Clowns.

Late Edit: Just noticed looking at your scorecards you guys play 40 over one dayers, we play 50, but you know what I mean!

Start times have always been an issue in this league. I know for a fact that the times are set the way they are because it allows the young fella's that may be still playing juniors in the mornings enough time to get to the senior ames. This has been the way for many years. There are plenty of junior kids playing senior cricket in our league

What happened to Matty Raggatt? I know he was held in high regard by a number of teams -- possibly the best umpire in the league.
What are people's thoughts on the season thus far?

Interesting points so far that i can see:

*Tooleybuc out on top and look to be the team to beat
*UTUFCC, RSL, Woora and Swan Hill look hard to split at this stage, all even on 2 wins
*Darren Mcnees yet to take a wicket? Whats going on there?
*Season surprise packets so far are Darren Ingram (plenty of runs and wickets), Wes Harrison (2x50s and a 45), Jimmy Barnes (2x4 wicket hauls - what the?) and Ahkmed Mcdonald tearing the C grade competition apart with both bat and ball.

Is this season for real?
