Oh and Trav, i'm sure blokes like Franga, Ash Henry, Paul Evans and Gav Wills will be petrified to come up against you next time when you get your revenge....what a goose!
Pull your head in Number 1. Pull your head in Michelin Man. Perhaps you pull up as you were not there From what i've just read there, you blokes have just confirmed you have no farking idea.
Why would Berwick want to play if there bowlers can't bowl at 100% because you dickheads had holes (not wholes, wholes are two halves) in your covers which you already knew existed!? You expect them to want to start at 4pm which would only really give you blokes a chance of winning. We should have started at 3pm which would of given Berwick 48 overs when we were all ready 3-28, been bowled out for 80 (Rd1) 7-90 before making 137 Rd2 and lost our last 4 wickets for as many runs in Rd3, Why would u not back yourself against us especially when you are the top side and we are only a Turf2 side. For you to say that Berwick would never have wanted to play from the beginning, because they were scared you blokes would knock off the runs just proves you blokes haven't got a clue. What, were they scared that the almighty Beaver was going to smash them to all points of the ground so they'd be better just take the 3 points and run? Pffft please....they are undefeated on top of the ladder, playing against a team who they have 3/20 odd just coming up from Turf 2 and led by the laughing stock of the DDCA.
The fact of the matter is, if you blokes had of prepared your pitch properly the game would've started on time and we wouldn't be talking hypothetically over the result.
I agree with your point here, but the cards were dealt at 12pm Saturday and we had to do the best we can. The wicket was fit for play at 3pmand when the 2 Berwick opening bowlers want to play the game should of started. I was there you were not you didn't see the wicket..........END OF STORY
Highpants you would have only ever played on no more than 3 wettish decks in your life. And now you are an expert. Not even me leaving has changed you. Goose...!

What has that got to do with it? I have played enough games to know a safe wicket when i see one!
It's got everything to do with it! Coz without being there i'd probably back the knowledge and judgement of blokes like Evo, Willsy, Ash, Franga and Jimmy of turf wickets over yourself. Even though you are a very astute man obviously.
BTW, you missed my point regarding them not wanting to get on. If the wicket was slightly wet at 3pm still, wet enough to cause their bowlers not to be able to bowl at 100%, the fielding side would and should rarely want to play, especially if the game is in the balance like this weeks was.

Even though you are a very astute man obviously. Ok well i have player at a rough guess 60-70 games on turf, i know Jimmy wanted to play as did the pom. Not sure about the rest & no need to be patronising Jarrod we are just having a calm conversation BTW, you missed my point regarding them not wanting to get on. If the wicket was slightly wet at 3pm still, wet enough to cause their bowlers not to be able to bowl at 100%, the fielding side would and should rarely want to play, especially if the game is in the balance like this weeks was. The Bowlers would have been able to bowl at 100% in my honest opinion at 3pm. Evo did not even feel the wicket from 1pm onwards he just looked at it with his eyes.
At what point does just getting on and playing cricket because thats what we give up our saturday for.
Met one of the umpires from that game Sat......and he said there was not much time put into the wkt prior too 12.00. And he didn't want the game to go ahead even at 3.00pm taking into account duty of care for the Berwick bwlrs. He never said anything abt Berwick not wanting to play.
He too wasn't to impressed abt the holes it the covers.

You wernt there g train so keep your big nose out of it and worry about your own back yard.
the reason the covers had wholes in them was because i heard berick had a tops leg spinner named pash hendrix and i was practising my sweep shot and forgot i had my spikes on. im suprise that I had enough weight to make wholes because i have lost 10 kilos of fat from working with the new mortiallox fitness coach. i have probly put 12 kilos of muscle on though, my arms and pecks are huge now .lol. the berick players are pussys and new that me and shambo wood knock those runs off in no time. i'd say that they are a bit scared that they will have to go through us morti boys if they want to win the flag. i will never ever go into there rooms for a drink after the way they treeted us last weak. they probly dont have vb long necks in the fridge anyway because thats what i drink, i can skull a long neck in 5 seconds.

Not much time BS, we were making arrangements around 10.30am to get blowers etc. Then when that was not working we tried hard to get a Heater. The Heater can not be produced with in 5 mins it takes time. It is amazing how many people talked to the umpires involved in the game on Saturday night?

Name one person who would be impressed about the holes in the covers Rob?
A 'saturn' has been clued over the area were the hole is, anyone would think no club has ever had a whole in the cover or got water onto there wicket in the middle of a game?

There was another turf1 game that started late due to having a couple little leaks from the rain

Everyone at the Bloods would know which ump..........he never said and bad word abt berwick or Mordi....so why so defensive Brett. But he did have raised eyebrows abt the covers and stuff.

When they already knew the holes were there, i'd say probably not. To me, it seems you were the team that didn't want to play and tried to sabotage the conditions to suit yourselves if you did.
Brett you are right........covers do get holes in them. But i think the real issue over these last 3 pages is that Trav stating that the Berwick boys were scared and didn't want to play. Pretty sure this is why G Train and thew lads at the cave have got their backs up. Sh'it anyone would.......
