I will categorically say that it was not us that put in a protest. We accepted our fate after losing to Heights the week before and were pleased to finish the year off on a good note by beating St Marys convincingly. We are a proud club with an outstanding tradition of playing fair and by the...

Re: MMVCA General Cricket Chat 2009/10 I wouldn't say that there are some big heads down at Glenroy. They are a top 4 side and will be playing finals again this season. Having said that, from a Barkly Street perspective, dismissing Glenroy for 114 was a result of some extremely tight bowling...

Re: MMVCA General Cricket Chat 2009/10 MMVCA, I can understand that you are upset with what happened but if you want to abuse me for simply making a comment on one of your post then that's poor form. I am not a fan of abuse when people do not look at the facts. I was in the middle of...

Re: MMVCA General Cricket Chat 2009/10 I'm not sure as to the extent of their unsportsmanlike conduct but isn't the bouncer a legal delivery of the game? It's unfortunate that you were short and had to call up the 14 year old but surely he would have expected a couple of short balls coming...

Re: MMVCA General Cricket Chat 2009/10 Actually...the young fellas were just spent from giving their all. We tend to turn to them when we're desperate for wickets and just need to remember they are only 17. They backed up the following day with a club intra Twenty20. Great fight from East...

Re: MMVCA General Cricket Chat 2009/10 Yea Stu's only been at the club since the start of the season but has done very well so far. He's probably also the quickest bowler in the club, but we've got enough quicks going round so he fills the spinners role quite nicely. Very tidy bowler that...

Re: MMVCA General Cricket Chat 2009/10 Tearaway Joe as one umpire calls him. Mcghie and Danaher are probably our 2 best bowlers and they are only 17!! We have about 4-5 guys 22 years or younger so we are quite a young side. As they get more game time under their belt, they'll get better...

Re: MMVCA General Cricket Chat 2009/10 Fair enough guys, we've been kept on the field many a times in the past few seasons so my opinion is that of getting back at those sides who have given us the pleasure of chasing leather once the game has been won.

Re: MMVCA General Cricket Chat 2009/10 That's a bit harsh mate. There are always going to be teams you'd love to hate. They play with a lot of heart and aggression, sometimes arrogance which I love to see. Those are the sides that give you the burning desire to beat them and when you do, it's...

Re: MMVCA General Cricket Chat 2009/10 Something to gloat about guys as it's not often we get a chance to do so...Barkly Street thrashed St Andrews by 8 wickets chasing 240! The wicket was magnificent to bat on. I'd have to say we have the best wicket in the comp by far! A club record of 208...

Re: MMVCA General Cricket Chat 2009/10 It was very disappointing not being able to chase down 170. We had a reasonable start however a couple of wickets down and we shut up shop. The lower order made a dash for it but ran out of overs.

Re: MMVCA General Cricket Chat 2009/10 We lost 50 minutes due to rain on the weekend which means YCW bat on due to the ordinary conditions rule. Need to pick up the last 5 wickets quickly for there to be any chance of victory. We bowled well on the weekend so I'd back our boys to take the...

Re: MMVCA General Cricket Chat 2009/10 Lets just hope the weather holds off. I've been told by the stalwarts of the club that Barkly Street has never beaten West Coburg.

Re: MMVCA General Cricket Chat 2009/10 Hi guys, Jason from Barkly Street here. Seem's we're not represented so I thought I'll be the man. Here are my tips for the round: Merlo v Glenroy - Match of the season so far. Merlo were very good against us last week with their top order in fine...
