NORTH GEELONG vs NEWCOMB AND DISTRICT

Selected Sides-
NORTH GEELONG- S. Hall, A.Spierings, C.Millard, A.Armistead, A.Clark, S.Lymer, J.Hall, L.Szponar, D.Tielens, B.Scown, S.Kingwell

NEWCOMB- (not submitted, threw out the addy)

MATCH REVIEW- Both sides are really needing there second win for the year heading into the christmas break. North are coming off a very disappointing loss to Lara last round after losing the unlosable game. Newcomb will have their tales up after defeating Geelong City, ironnically the only team that North has defeated this season. It seems both sides have a relatively even bowling attack so it will come down to the batting in this match. Millard is in form for the Wags, as is Koliba for the Dinos, but it seems that only 3 or 4 of the Dino batsman have proven themselves at this level, therefore giving the edge to the Wags

PLAYERS TO WATCH
North- Shane Lymer has found a good array of form since moving down the order to number 6. Expect him to turn his 20s or 30s into big score if given the chance this round.

Newcomb- Damien Koliba is coming off a ton and will look to attack the lesser North bowlers. Word is the Legend Killer has him in his sights so it could be an intriguing battle.

TIP- North in a good old fashioned slugfest

Thomson Vs Murgheboluc

The Frogs won the toss and elected to bat on a dry and hard Thomson wicket, if anything lacking a bit of grass. They were in a world of pain at 7-20 inside the first 10 overs. Some fine bowling from the returning Petterwood (4-20) and Riches (4-33) sent the Murghe top and middle order back to the pavillion all in the space of 45 minutes, the Tigers could not believe it. Petterwood picking up the key wickets of the Watson brothers whilst Riches took the scalp of Grozdanovski all a judged LBW by the officiating umpire. A dogged 84 run stand, which took the score from 7-20 to 7-104 between R Clayson (51) and D Lynch (31) nearly didn't eventuate after Petterwood bowled Clayson before he was on 5, only to be called for a front foot no-ball.

Clayson bought up a well compiled 50 with powerful drives off A Salta (0-30) being the highlight. Smiljanic's array of slower balls finally got the double-breakthrough the Tigers required and when Haberfield came out holding the bat like an axe the Thomson boys knew it would only be a matter of time until they cleaned up the innings, Murghe dismissed on the stroke of 36 overs for 120.

Thomson started cautiously against the new ball pair of Haberfield (0-15) and D Watson (0-26). Haberfield was bowling very well and was unlucky not to have Strods (35) caught behind early in the innings after the diving attempts from the keeper went to ground. Opener Strods said it was the best spell of bowling he has faced all season. A couple of strong appeals were turned down against the batsmen for LBW. Strods along with Bliss (27) spent some time at the crease and slowy but steadily got to 79 before the introduction of Grozdanovski (3-20) saw him dismiss Strods, Bliss and Tiger skipper Adrian Salta (8). Sean O'Neill (22*) and Stephen Dahlhaus (0*) steered the ship home for the Tigers. Youngster Alex Hickey picked up his first 1st XI wicket along the way, it being Ben Smiljanic (13) caught at extra cover.

Benny the Jett a notable absentee from the Frog's lineup.

Votes: 3. K Petterwood 2. D Riches 1. R Clayson

jeez i did well with my players to watch this week didnt i. koliba 2nd ball duck and lymer made 5 (no wayne not 9) and got no wickets.

though i better get this thread back to tthe top of the pile.

Wallington v Anglesea (fat rats clacker cup)

Wallington play host to anglesea who will no doubt be all out for a win to stay in touch with the top six. its been a while for anglesea where as wallingotn have won 3 on the trot and will look to continue their streak in order to crack into the top six. should be a fairly evenly matched game, anglesea have some good bats for the wallaby bowlers to contend with jacobs and coles both making consisten scores this year. The wallington bowling line up has conceded 321 runs in its last 3 matches which is what will be needed once again if it is to contain the run making duo from anglesea. the wallingotn top order has looked good in most games so far without really cracking open a game whilst the middle and lower order have contributed enough to win. could go either way but im obviously tipping the wallabies to take home the big rat cup.

NORTH GEELONG vs LEOPOLD

North Geelong- A.Spierings, L.Szponar, S.Hall, C.Millard, A.Armistead, S.Lymer, D.McGlinchey, J.Hall, B.Scown, S.Kingwell

Leopold- R.Kiddle, M.Aston, N.Bissett, D.Armstrong, H.Stephenson, T.Marshall, D.Kiddle, L.Murray, M.Stow, R.Zanoni, G.Skrobolak, B.Howarth

Match Review- North will be looking to rediscover the form they started in the games leading into the christmas break againts leopold this week. Winning against Newcomb has given the wagpies a new sense of belief and the club will be looking to start 2009 off with a bang. Leopold after being a surprise packet last season have struggled like the wagpies to date but can produce the goods on there given day with the ability and experience that they have in their side.

Players to Watch- Al Spiering (North Geelong)- playing in his third first eleven game this weekend, wig way wal is always an interestig one to behold and will be worth watching whether it be him making runs or running lachy szponar out. both are a spectacle and a joy to watch.

Rod Kiddle (Leopold)- the veteran tonned up against the magpies last year before they became wagpies. after a good performance against the geelong cats in the match at skilled on sunday, kiddle will be raring and ready to go despite the legend killer vowing to dismiss him after not getting the chance at koliba last round.

TIP-North to win
