I think there is a strong case to say @BasketballAus should move Wednesday's Boomers fixture which is now head-to-head with #Matildas I understand the difficulty in logistics and tickets sold (at a high price), but there is a higher cause here ... #NBL24 #FIFAWomensWorldCup2023

@Julian_OBrien @K16853012 @BasketballAus Important to point out that there are people who will have waited a long time to see the Boomers and their public interest is in them. I would love to watch both but Wednesday is the only night I have tickets too so I will be at the Boomers to see Patty and Joe.

@K16853012 @BasketballAus If public interest, ratings and sheer ignorance of the significance of this event v what is essentially a practice game didn't matter then I'm sure you'd be right.

@Julian_OBrien @BasketballAus So who takes the financial hit for that ? Because there will be people coming from interstate or that can't leave work or little kids who want to watch basketball cause they are their heros as well ? Sensible yes, fair maybe, could hurt unfairly - certainly.

Motion to go before CV delegates tonight concerning chairman David Maddocks, whose nine years on the board are up. The board is recommending he stand again, noting the 'extenuating circumstances' of Covid.

A pairing that wouldn’t look out of place in Premier Cricket. Neil won flags with EMP & was part of the recent blip of success at Camberwell with Brendan Drew. Club hasn’t been the same since they left. I hear Gunnawardena could probably still score runs in grade cricket too!

Expect a decision in the next few weeks from Cricket Victoria in regards to Geelong's bid to be promoted to the @vicpremcricket women's 1st XI competition this season. The Cats have pushed hard and recruited well.

Believe the hunt for Blake Reed is over, with the star all-rounder set to join Melbourne Uni.
Tyler Lewis@tmlew_

Rumours a few @vicpremcricket clubs are in the hunt for the services of Melville (WA) all-rounder Blake Reed, and rightfully so with these numbers from last season in the WA 1st Grade.

Strong recruiting from Prahran in @vicpremcricket, landing talented all-rounder Shubham Bhargave from Camberwell Magpies. The True Blues have also brought in youngster Kobe Herft from Melbourne.

@fotiamatt @tmlew_ @vicpremcricket Bottom line regardless of start/finish times which have different motivations/agendas and obvious durations of play. Same playing conditions. Same balls. Same rules (Obviously there will be considerations for commercial differences) Prem = Shield = Test #samesamebutdifferent

🏏 @vicpremcricket men’s clubs will vote on 90 or 96 overs for the return of two day cricket. With 96, play will commence at 10:30, 90 = 11am. The season will likely finish with four two day matches, in line with the Sheffield Shield season.
