Our curator and I couldn't believe it, our wicket down at Hampton was dry enough to be cut and rolled, needless to say looks a good deck to bowl on. Hoping some others miss out on playing and we get on and have a win - should push us up the ladder a bit. Can't believe all this stuff going on...

I think this rule must have then been applied: INNINGS OF TEAM BATTING SECOND M2.62 Team Batting First – Compulsory Closure If the innings of the team batting first is compulsorily closed on either or Day 1 or Day 2, the team batting second shall only be entitled to receive the same number of...

Great speech, and the link worked a treat. I highly recommend getting a copy of his book the Vinciblesfor anyone that hasn't read it. Cheers to The Club!!!

Any thoughts on the proposed 1 day rules, it seems the VTCA may have been listening: Team batting second entitled to a max of 40 (or 36) overs Game finishes once there is a result (bummer if you're a top team playing a bottom team wanting those beloved bonus points) No extra fielding...

According to the VTCA match committee update on 18/7 Youlden Parkville are in North so that would leave Bonbeach Tangy in South. Surely this is structure is a fait a compli, it will get through the VTCA AGM without issue. 12 team comps mean we are certain to be scheduled play 9 two dayers and 2...

I hear Parkdale have accepted, any news on the other clubs?

Anyone know anything about the teams that will be in South and South A now that South B is gone? I hear Parkdale and I guess Beena would have come up to South and I guess Ajax and MHSOB won't be relegated to make it a 12 team comp.

True, maybe the VTCA could help them to lobby the council to move the turf wicket to be closest to the pavillion? Not much different to Brighton District except for a few mins extra walk,a far better wicket and no Brighton dog walkers!

The 1's certainly got tense at the end, 4 wickets in hand 11 overs, 3 and 8 with plenty of appeals and plays and misses. Great respect for the Tang as they could have easily thrown up the white flag after being so close in the first innings. Even their supporters became humurous by the end. Not...

Coach or Assistant Coach Wanted \ Players wanted Hampton Cricket Club is seeking a Coaxh, Assistant Coach and Professional Players for the 2011/2012 Season, in particular we are seeking a top order batsmen. We have 5 Senior Turf Sides affiliated with the VTCA and currently 7 junior sides. The...

A lot of runs will be scored at Beena arena, hopefully it will encourage a shift away from the traditional GF tactics of 5/150 being a good days batting. Should be a cracker - the old title holder against the up and comer. I'm following the South and going for Bentleigh. Any other GF venues been...

We want to play our finals side in the 1st XI, and no-one wants to give up their spot.

Even bigger now with top spot up for grabs

Hampton opener gets one that kisses the face of the bat trying to leave one, it carries to the keeper and Heatherton are screaming. Umpire says not out and the Hampton bat scratches out his guard doing his best to not look guilty.1st slip chirps, "I suppose you wouldn't walk if your car ran out...

Round 10 predictions in bold Dingley v Murrumbeena Could be an upset if Lamb chop goes early, but now have some depth with L Hardham down the order Carnegie v Parkdale The toss may may change things if the deck is like last weeks and Carnegie hold their catches - is Bott...

Re: VTCA Cricket - General Chat Not sure if anyone has blogged it already, the points for 2010/11 is 48, a reduction of 6 which seems fair. I wonder when the reductions will stop? Being a cynic I would say when YCCC can't fit all their players in. I think in 5 years time the competition will...

re: South Division 10/11 Bentleigh in the 1's for me - a better well rounded attack and Beauie in the 2's - by far the best side

re: South Division 10/11 Thanks lifemember. Sledge I guess with all these extra facts it still seems like a good idea to play the Sth 2nds at South Caulfield? What an absolute farce, 22 blokes from 2 different teams preparing for their most important game of the season in the same change...

re: South Division 10/11 Would that 2nd Sth Caulfield ground be the same one where one of our players lost both front teeth earlier this season when a ball reared up off a tuft of grass? Southern Sledge regarding clubs only wanting G/F's when they are involved, well why else would a club...

re: South Division 10/11 At least 2/3 years ago. I think it is a good rule, clearly you think otherwise. How come? Looks like MHSOB had a real crack at making a game of it, but Bentleigh declined the offer. I feel sorry for all those teams that finished 3rd or 4th, clearly they never had...
