Spinners....Andrew Creamer from Dederang bowls Leg Spinners
Very Funny Sir Don
. Where on North St (after all it is quite a long street) ?hey Ritchie this is Dan hummerich Captain of the "lavy 3rds dream team" (as you put it) for the last year or so Ive read posts on here from gutless people hiding behind fake names spreading rumors and thinking they know everything and ive always just laughed it off ...my favorite one would have to be the "lavy black overthrew the president of the club to put one of there own in the position bahahahaha that was gold we are a 3rd grade team for god sake as if we have that power ...anyway getting back to the topic the reason why iam actually posting on this pathetic website is I take great exception to the fact that iam not a "club" player ...I am a committee member ive just put my hand up for one of the assistant coaches spots for the U/15's , when my team isint playing you will usually see me at the 2nd grade or Div 1 3rd grade games supporting the boys, and on grandfinal day last year i was at the 1st grade game watching every ball hoping the boys would get over the line...and you tell me iam not a club player ????
now I will agree that 3rd grade is mostly for kids, old farts or blokes that just want to have fun and i have no problem with you calling us wankers but really champ all the boys in my team fit into the "kids, old farts or blokes that just want to have" category
let me explain ...me for one i have a right hemopleger basically means my right side of my body is very weak , 3rd grade one dayers is all my body could handle I would love to be able to play higher but my body just wont let me
my vice captain (and best mate) newman holden use to be one of the greatest bowlers this comp has seen in any grade, but age and injury has caught up with him and even with playing 3rd grade one day cricket he struggles to get through it uninjured, but he loves the game to much and we have always wanted to play cricket together so he thought he would have a run in the 3s with me for a few years, most of the side would fall into the old fart category none of us want to play 2 day cricket simply because our bodies just wont let us , but having said that we forefited a game a while back so that we could fill the other 3rd grade side because they were so sort and ive already told the div 1 3rd grade captain that we will work together and if his short we will help him out, and any club funtions you will see 90% of the "dream team" there ...still not club players mate?????
at the end of the day we are all great mates we have a shitload of fun playing cricket together, we sledge each other more than we sledge the opposition and alot of the time the boys will come back to my place after a game for a few beers isint that what 3rd grade crickets all about???
and lastly we dominate sides...ritchie have you seen some of the games weve played, lets go through them shall we for starters all 3 grandfinals we have played in were so very close could have gone either way , the 1st year we played north albury they had the game won they needed something like 60 runs with 12 overs to go and 7 wickets in hand, we fought hard and one the game with 8 balls left with 11 runs needed, the 2nd grandfinal against st pats was very hard they had a great team all year and we won the game with 7 balls left and 2 wickets in hand, the 3rd grand final was against tallangatta everyone thought we were going to crush them but again we only just snuck over the line, there is teams we win big over but thats 3rd grade, the difference between clubs is every clubs goes out and finds A graders they dont care about 3rd grade and why should they, it should be up to the lower grade captains (me) to find players and thats what i do, theres to many captains that just rock up to training only weeks out before the 1st game and just see what rocks up, I make sure ive got the players well before training starts
so to ritchie and everyone else that has a cry about this "dream team" instead of crying about it go out and find some handy 3rd graders and take us on its really not that hard
having said all that I think its going to be a great year of cricket all 4 lavy grades should be up there , st pats will be hard to beat again they have a very handy all round side and good luck to steve baker and the new city boys I hope you guys do really well this year and finish 2nd behind panthers
cheers hummer
Add Kieran Salome and Sir Robert Jackson to that list.Also as Middo's still playing he could be put in the spinner bracket as well.

Do the old man some good pulling the boots on for one more run.I also forgot Greg Daniels ,Michael Booth and Matty ArmstrongAdd Kieran Salome and Sir Robert Jackson to that list.Also as Middo's still playing he could be put in the spinner bracket as well.
Definately has some merit in it.
I think you will find that Simmonds is in England and will miss part if not all of the season
Had quite a few valid points this might sound a bit far fetched but if they players are genuinely unhappy with the way the association is being run have they considered forming a CAW Players Association to voice their concerns and actually raise them at Association meetings? I know as a 2's player being told i have to front up on Sunday at 3 in the arvo to play a meaningless 20/20 game is a complete waste of time. We aren't professionals and i wonder if the Board are willing to spend BOTH days of their weekend coming to watch lesser skilled lower grade players struggle to score 100 in front of 3 girlfriends and a lost dog.
Be a pity if they did, the board need to be able to listen to constructive criticism (which to me is what Jackson is providing) and not consider themselves beyond criticism. At least while he is criticising them, he is presenting a solution.

It did stay away but it rained plenty of runs all over the place. What a great start to the season for batsman. Dederang look to be in trouble and no sign of the 2 West Indian's for Lavi or Dederang. Raiders dug deep after a shocking start against Kiewa. Just wondering if Lavi have any bowlers with Marmo get a few overs. There's more youth then a blue light disco going around CAW at the moment. It's great to see kids getting a game ahead of old farts. Did notice a very familar name in the Dederang 3rd's on the weekend .....mmmmm maybe another comeback on the cards..
I did Big Guy, I'm assuming you mean Mark Portelli. It couldn't be P.Hore as he has never stopped playing for any length of time to be making a comeback.
