North Balwyn had printed shirts for all their supporters proclaiming themselves as "Dunstan Finalists 2015" - seemed to me to reek of being satisfied to make the final as opposed to winning the thing!

Never heard anything of this...I believe that Deepdene Park is going to become synthetic soon (and kept as a junior ground only) due to complaints from residents adjoining the ground.. but never anything about a move of the deck to Balwyn

C Judd - 3 votes Pretty line ball decision as no one took a huge bag of wickets or made a big score - could have gone to any one of 4 or 5 Bulleen players

Dunstan medal, potentially a race between Patel 700 @ 70 and 6 wkts @ 23 Parsons 508 @ 63 and 15 wkts @ 16 Morris 423 @ 47 and 24 wkts @15 Pretty handy contributions from all 3....

They'll do fine, they will bat first in all home games, then turn the sprinklers on the week after....

Undertaker, how is it making a mockery of ECA rules? No idea who this player is, but from what I'm told it will be a replacement for Hoare as a professional who is going to be unavailable injured for virtually all of next year apparently

Actually Bulleen are a fair chance of getting into the A turf final, so maybe Ashy will get A and Koonung B....

Don't reckon Surrey will get higher than D or E ground but outfield was terrible when I was there a month or so back Stradbroke not an option, deck pretty unreliable there unless you're a fan of early over grubbers. GI should not get a GF, too much risk of balls in the creek.. Donvale gets...

Would agree there is a huge bend in the arm....although may well be within the new Murali based tolerance allowed nowadays

Called past Deepdene for 30 mins on Sat, they'd already won, Parsons 80 odd, Strempel also was not out 50 odd Pretty big runs being made at Eric Raven this year ...see Bulleen racked up 5/337 off 47.1 overs! Porter 183....fair effort

Not so sure about that - I actually only follow the ECA in passing, have 2 mates who play for Deepdene in the 1's and I call by and have a look occasionally, but my cricket days are long long gone ....the Deepdene team is on their club site and although I have watched a few of their games in the...

Not sure they took it too seriously, looking at the team selected, there were only 3 or 4 Dunstan players picked...

Spoke to a mate from Deepdene after seeing result Toss was a bit of a factor, wicket had decent damp patch, and they were no more than 40 off 20 at drinks, Parsons got 40 odd but was out in about the 34th over or so which shows how tough it was batting first. Still, pretty fair effort from NB...

Called in at Dunstan for a couple of hours - Deepdene comfortable winners - Parsons man of match, pretty fair end of season 3 x 100 and a 90 RO in the last 5 games...probably a fair reflection of the season ,top team premiers in Dunstan

As I said, only was there for a short time and from memory scores for dismissed batsmen were Fernon 1 Davis 0 Crawford 0 Baker 11 Wilkinson and McBride were not out when I left, presumably one or both of these must...

Called in for an hour or so. Game was delayed for hour and a half due to wet runups at southern end, started late after mats put down on the wet patches. SKevs won toss and batted on usual Donvale road. Deepdene got 4 early wickets for 40 odd (Fernon, Crawford, Davis and Baker), but Skevs must...

Reckon the LOL is on you Paintball, Deepdene bolted in 5 down, Parsons 3rd ton in last 4 hits got them over the line!

Anyone remember the exchange re Bulleen v Marcellin game earlier this year that ended in a draw - I think Bouncer's words may have bitten him somewhat.....those 3 points kept them up and sent Bulleen down!

At the other end of the scale, will be interesting to see what becomes of Bulleen now they are en route to A Turf - will the Nth Melb clan Davidson, Porter, Judd et al stick around, if not they could be destined for a long spell in the 2nd Division

Heard that Deepdene openers put on over 150, Parsons made just over 100 and Steele 50 odd but no other details
