[rdhopkins2]

Good work- nice to see the efforts of our SA friends!

Symsey would be spewin

Very, very decent cricketer, would be playing for the redbacks if he had chosen cricket.

I'd be playing for the Redbacks if I had chosen cricket.

 

[seababoon]

yeh im sure you would be.. probably wont get picked cause your annoying.. ala chris rogers

 

[BockPorplyziaFC]

Good idea, I'll be there, I enjoyed our last 20/20 match a couple years ago.

Have to question AAMI at 6.15 on a Tuesday though, I guess that would make it difficult for a lot of people who work regular hours to get to.

Good cause though, and hopefully they make it so all money is donated, including car parking and catering (at least profits). Anyway at least they are doing something and we should have a fairly good team.

Awesome work, South Australia helping Victoria who would have ever thought that would ever happen

 

[Jars458]

SA did Vics a big favour by taking Cornsey off their hands.

I note that "celebrities" will be playing. Please not Cornes and Ebert and guys like that. Should be all palyers.

As I live just around the corner I will probably go.

 

[Campbell's Chunky]

I am playing for the redbacks and I didn't chose cricket.

 

[AFC Official]

There is some extra information on the website now about the game. Parking will be part of the admission charge. We are still finalising the team but we expect Goodwin and Vince to lead the way, plus we should have a very popular former player and a handy celebrity left-hander!

If Boof is playing I am defintley going!

[ams4crows]

it's gotta be modra as the former player that last 20/20 crows v Redbacks Modra kicked ass he got like 45 hit a heap of 4's and 6's

 

[Symesy15]

From the AFC website:

Vince will head a star-studded Crows 11, which could also include skipper Simon Goodwin, former star junior wicketkeeper James Moss, Chris Knights and ex-full forward Tony Modra.

 

[Symesy15]

Channel 10 said Boof will be playing for the Crows and Dizzy Gillespie will be playing for Port.

 

[Smoooothy]

they are apparently playing on a chipboard pitch covered in a standard cricket carpet pitch

the bounce will be interesting!!

 

[BustaB]

I would go if it was at Adelaide Oval. Footy Park is to big a trek for a 20/20

 

[Pride of SA]

Just of interest, is anyone a CFS Volunteer?

Yeah I am Springchoke. been one for a few years. havent managed to get sent over to Victoria though, even though I`ve sent about 20 phone messages trying to go.

they seem reluctant to release too many of us for when the weather warms up again on the weekend, esp since how lucky we were on Saturday to escape what happened to Victoria (couple of close shaves).

But good on both clubs for playing the fundraiser. as much as we like to hang sh!t on each other its good that we all realise its only sport and that we can come together when needed.

having said that, I recall Simon Goodwin is an ace cricketer (played for Sturt??) so hopefully we can flog em and raise some cash

 

[Crows #1]

If they play cricket like they play footy, you can expect the Power to bowl a few underarms.

Just of interest, is anyone a CFS Volunteer?

Yeah, I am. Why?

 

[Alex99]

Yeah, I am. Why?

Fantastic efford old son, you guys do some good work. Same goes to any one who is a SES volunteer.

Thanks mate. Don't forget the Salvo's, St Johns, etc.

Salvo's work long shifts, day after day feeding others at those things. Kangaroo Island fire last year was a great setup they had.

To true.

Nathan Bassett will hopefully turn out for the Crows also...brilliant junior cricketer for Kensi.

 

[Crow-mo]

Matthew Bode was a representative australian junior cricketer, I beleive still holds a number of records in the lancashire leagues.

 

[Geoffa32]

Ken McGregor went allright for Port Adelaide Grade Cricket. Could of gone on but saw cricket as social and Footy a bit more serious.

 

[chadleverington]

You would hope not, why would they want people sitting at home watching it when they should be at the ground raising the money the match was intended to do?

Wouldn't matter as long as the broadcasting company donated the money they got for the advertising. Would raise more money from tv advertising than people going to the game.

Why is it being played at AAMI? Wouldn't Adelaide Oval be more appropriate (save having to put in a pitch for a start).

Probably easier for the sides since AAMI is their home ground, owned by the SANFL etc etc.
