I know it looks like I'm talking to myself, but after watching Australia's second innings, I'm convinced that anyone I played with or against, plus the forum members are of the same skill set as the current Australian batsmen.
Couldn’t agree more Cliff. Embarrassment is an understatement. Totally exposed against quality bowling. The team must be believing all the crap from the media over the Summer telling everyone how good the team is/was. They are flat track bullies at best. Nice to see some of the egos being checked too. And would be even better to see selectors pick players on form and not reputation. Can’t say the captain is covering himself with any glory at this time either. Funnily enough i dont think too many care about their predicament as the team has certainly lost support due to being ‘out of touch’, arrogant and not in line with community values and perception.
Credit to India,a great side and they did beat us here last time.As for our effort today,a disgrace,why all this reverse sweep stuff.Cliff big game cricket wise at the MCG of the East Walker Park next 2 weeks,make sure you are there and I will show you around the place.
Still pissed off from losing players that love being there (it's never about the money) to other clubs for more money.Good to see the Vermont crew back on Facebook, whinging about other clubs recruiting big names on Leader Local Footy stories.
It must be tough when 6-8 flags per decade is your birthright
The Basin did it a few years back with Barry Hall so they must know the pros and cons. Personally I think we are past this but that’s just me.
Not many clubs know if they will be able to field a team at this stage. There's a lot of movement with U19's if you look at the transfers. I agree with you, a few more weeks, and in saying that you can get a group of mates who don't like the talc powder the coach uses on their nuts, and bang half a team has gone.
He has been a raging success wherever he has played. Still very fit and gives 100% each game he plays. When Hall played for them a few years ago I went along and have never seen anything like it at any home and away game - massive crowd, all the news media in attendance and just a fantastic day. The club benefitted significantly from the day in so many ways and has decided to do it again. Good on them for thinking outside the square. They have really gone places as a club over the last decade and certainly would be the envy of many clubs with their structure including massive numbers of juniors, women's football and netball teams and being very financially sound. I'm sure it will be a big day at Batterham Reserve.
Let's hope all groupings are competitive.
Heard the unders competition is in a spot of bother with many clubs struggling for numbers or not having a team.
