Gracious in victory I guess you're not.

Only have to look at the season stats to do that. Winning or losing one match will hardly prove your point.

Not taking is personally just saying it's a rubbish call.

Backing us to bounce back here. Bagging us as a 2 man team because a couple of blokes have had a ripper season with the bat is laughable, but ok then.

Wish that worked for every run out, I'd take more quick singles.

Ian Healy agrees that mankads are now on the table as an ethical way to dismiss a batsman. I'll be staying in my crease at the non strikes now as I'm always pinching a meter or two. Interesting too that saliva is being banned from shining the ball and now the incoming batsman faces the first...

I'm sure you might say that if you saw where our sides finished, but the problem is distance between grades. 1/2's and 3/4's are almost like two different clubs within the club because of the distance between B and F2. Likewise just because G1 finished on top doesn't mean those blokes would be...

I suspect if a complaint is made a suspension would be substantially longer. One of our guys got the same sledge aimed at him a few years ago with the offender getting a break from cricket for 2 years.

They do love a good side stack. Lost a lot of respect for them when they dropped 8 or so of their regular team against us for the granny a few years ago, a couple of blokes having played only 1 or 2 games that season. It sucked losing but couldn't help feel for their blokes who had played the...

I not sure there was anything sinister in the collision, but pretty poor form to claim the wicket I think.

True you can have extra drinks and yes it's summer and Australia, but there is probably a fair point to be made regarding the duty of care towards the umpires. We all know that quite a few are getting on in age, no offence of course, there may also be some underlying medical issues. We may not...

Yep gotta retire at 50 in all G grade matches, I only found out when one of the guys in the opposition walked off after his 50. You can come back in after everyone else has batted. Apparently a couple of high grade players dropped down and made 150+ a couple of times last year and clubs had a...

No idea HB, but it's virtually certain to happen within the DVCA this season.

I think you have to wait until Saturday morning, 10am at the latest to call it off otherwise report to grounds. If you find yourself in the situation where you are happy not to play then it's probably time to hang the pads up and sit at the bar.

I wish you didn't. I reckon I've been there every season for the last few, either on the slow, wet ground dodging roopoo or dodging roopoo and snakes on the ground with a hump in the pitch. Good times....at least the beers are cold though.

So you guys who are bagging the name change would knock back a potential sponsor if you were in the same position? No you wouldn't and anyone who says they'd knock back an offer of money to change the name of your ground to the sponsors name is lying. I'm sure the folks down at Banyule don't...

I think we're lucky. I do wonder though what happens when inevitably there is an outbreak within a club. What happens if the majority of one team is exposed and has to isolate for 7 or 14 days, do you have to play 1s with anyone you can scrape up or are you allowed to forfeit the 1s and play a...

You'll have to forgive me for being pessimistic at what, 8 weeks into the "snap 7 day lock down". Couldn't care less what Cricket Australia says, if we can start, just start, stuff training. We'll see and I'll believe we are playing when I'm out there marking center.

Coloured clothing is going to be the least of our problems, every backed up emergency room makes is less and less likely we're going to get back on the field next month.

Damn if you wanted a flag that bad just go buy one from the local trophy shop, it would be cheaper!
