Sorry Dr.Squeak, did not want to make light of it, especially given I knew you had done it at least twice before and I know how painful it is. Hope you're marching to recovery and it is not season ending? Better start playing & celebrating (and dancing) like an old guy if you want to play into...

Machine Finds Extra Gear After enduring a horror year on the field, Mackie finally produced something near their best with the ball and in the field defeating Elwood in a key encounter in Longmuir Shield cricket. Whilst it is not a mortal blow to Elwood, it is a skewer through the heart of...

The Royals come against the Panthers who are a difficult team to beat on their patch. The Royals hang on as an outside chance (and I can hear Jimmy yelling in the background….no chance). No chance Clock man. Apart from mathematically.

BATS CRASH IN TWO DAYERS After seven one day games in the first eight rounds of the season the batsmen finally got a chance to spend time at the crease on the first day of play in Round 9Longmuir Shield and boy did most of them make a mess of it. Kingston Heath had a disastrous day against West...

You could be right Nairbe. I thought Haddin must have just been a great bloke because the commentators never criticise him but from what I have heard that is not true either, he is in it for Brad. Ponting you can defend a bit (something of a leader just a poor tactician most of the time which he...

All statements correct Beeser. I think you will find that the educated cricket public are onto Haddin. The Clarke "move along son" rumour make sense to me and if you think about time lines etc. it really stacks up.

Another fine days work from Hadds behind the stumps, 3 missed stumpings etc. but again gets defence from his media mates that it's all because he got left out of the T20 team. Enough!! Leaving him out was the first decent thing Hildick has done. Oh, except for the fantastic processes and...

Updated weekly highlights & scores for round 8 now on CMCA website. http://cmca.vic.cricket.com.au/content.aspx?file=39|21187d Brian/Merl, Elwood scores were first received in on Saturday and were phoned through to papers but somehow left off the roster, no real explanation why. Or in true...

Longy Rd 8 East Sandy - hope they bat first Bentleigh ANA - Redbacks would do very well to rebound Brighton Union - On a roll Bentleigh Uniting - Samo samo Elwood - Tough at home, can golfers post 200+ to test them Mackie - home ground adv.will Donkey Kong play Wooly Rd 8 East Sandy - could...

Clocker, he is the cancer where many of our issues begin, we were beaten so comprehensively he didn't get a chance to drop the Ashes but he would have. Stands too deep costing us catches, misses easy catches, can't even catch returns (or backs off them), has to dive for everything (that he can...

Jimmys Rd.7 tips Kingston Heath - Golfers bowling too disciplined unless Malone has a BDO Bentleigh ANA - Return of The Judge and Pale Blues horrible batting collapses Carnegie South - Maysies last hurrah? v Dave Warner One Day Specialists Bentleigh Uniting - Home Ground advantage only Elwood -...

Condaleeza (non paid) with some help from Jimmy was responsible for paper scores. This should continue for the rest of the season. Yes, it would be boring if we all thought the same way but I think that some of the general disenchantment and chagrin with Merl we have been reading (I know you...

Seriously!!!

Yep Jimbo, meanwhile you've got Ian trying to justify the selection decisions on the the telly. The mates network is alive and well although I did hear Healy bag out Haddin a couple of times in this test which is refreshing after the free pass he continually gets for his blunders.

I'd take this a step further Clocker, like what you are thinking though. Always been a Clarke fan but he's just been giving it up in this series. He should be able to come back though. Horses for courses policy for Sydney. Hughes, horrible technique but at least has talent, no one else knocking...

Merl, you still owe me a point. Perhaps the new year will see a more positive outlook. Merry Xmas & Happy NY to all contributors to this forum, keep it fun and funny next year whilst still getting to crux of the real issues!!! Jimmy

That's correct Sledge BUT there were discussions held between council & cmca to delay work on that ground for a day to facilitate this game. Guess they didn't want to hold up their Xmas party knock off.

Merl, add a point to Jimmy's total, only missed on the Spiders last round. Don't want to bring integrity of the Horlicks Cup into disrepute so claiming extra point now. Doesn't sound like there was any big news out of the round??? Jimmy was in Adelaide watching shellacking of Australia. WACA...

One day finals series, no thanks. Agree totally with Sugar that it can have an ongoing effect as regards commitment etc (hard enough already as Clock has alluded to with Gen Y deciding whether to play cricket for a few weeks and then go surfing when summer hits). Would cheapen the end game and...
