Re: City of Moorabbin Cricket Association 09/10

Wow, did not mean to send UM and Queen Adelaide into such an hysterical frenzy. I have been made aware that my brand of choice is available in single ply, 2 ply and they are actually inventing 6 ply strength in an effort to absorb the tears of the above mentioned boys but it will only be on special until Boxing Day so you two had better stock up while you can.

The clash of the season in the BRC has lived up to it's promise resulting in a nail-biting 1 wicket win for Hampton Central, although i would suggest the Guy/Shaw trophy will be up for grabs again well before the passing of 12 months.

As all the focus goes onto the Westars and Centrals, the Klansmen are going along beautifully, having registered another victory, albeit nothing more than a leisurely training run. The Klan will be more than happy to remain in the shadows of the 'Heavyweights' and will be a strong finals participant, particularly if they can improve the batting.

Now UM and i have had our fair share of rumbles, but Mick your actually wrong on this occasion.
You seem to think just because you said "Certainly not getting ahead of myself or making any bold prediction, but seeing our run home now....". it excludes anything stupid you say there after about winning the flag or making finals.
I may have not covered my self in glory on here in the past which you no doubt would be thinking of using against me in a counter argument "but i will have you know that is completely irrelevant issue" you got excited on the back of a good win and crowed to early and got smacked in the face as i said you would.

Consider it a learning curve.......we all have them don't be ashamed and feel the need to defend yourself.
 
Re: City of Moorabbin Cricket Association 09/10

Evening All,

I do not care to respond to those who do not wish to listen and as usual there will be no hook,no dolly,no gaff, no comment to those that fit that category particularly the profanitist!!

Uncle Mick & Sugar thanks for your PM's which gave us a good insight into your games and shows how 1 or 2 players can make such a difference.

I congratulate Uncle Mick ( my mate !!! ) as he puts his name to everything and everyone knows who he is. I know who he is and he like a lot of you have meet me but have no idea of who I am.I choose to remain annoymous for a variety of reasons, so I can participate in the BCF in a respectable and constructive manner.Being one who strayed outside the rules and having the forum suspended I have tried to stay inside those rules and was quite disgusted with the disguised language used.

Those who abide by the rules will remain in the BTC.

Keithy while i respect your opinion but don't necessarily agree with it at least you made it with a bit of dignity!

Clocker

Very highbrow stuff and something to ponder over the break.


Finally Uncle Mick my great BCF mate as a wise old fellow poster has told me on several occassions " don't get sucked in and you are better than that " or words to that effect.Go out there and win the last 4 and as the great Teddy Whitten would say ...........stick it up em!!

until next time.......... vino sipping poster......... Prof Merlot

Thanks Merl,

Great weekend down at 'The Brick' with 6 out of the 7 sides recording crucial wins. The 1sts led magnificently by a chanceless innings from the Captain/Coach, posted a competitive score and backed it up with another clinical bowling and fielding effort. The attack led by the consistent Reimers and the left arm pace of Clement, backed up by a 18yo (D'Amico) and a 16yo (Wighton) are now forming a formidable attack,and are backed up by the best fielding side in the comp, with the ever improving 15yo Bychkov (5 catches) behind the pegs.
The less said about the 'judge's' decision to send us back in, the better!
5-2 and sitting equal 2nd is a fantastic effort, but the boys know that there's unfinished business and are incredibly keen to make up for a few lean years.

In the BRC it was a case of the much cliched '12 point game' against ANA.
After ANA were cruising at 1-80 it was make or break for us, enter one S.Cruwys and the whole game changes on the back of a brilliant spell of seam bowling. In the end ANA limped to 205 on the back of some tailend hitting.
Going into Saturday the boys were super keen to make amends for our last two dismal batting displays. After getting off to a solid start,the wheels suddenly fell off as we lost 3-5 and were reeling at 3-35. Yet again it was the skipper who led from the front magnificently, carving his way to his first century at the most crucial stage. Forming critical partnerships with Yacoub and Fletcher, and then holding his nerve to get us over the line with yours truly at the other end.
Actually it was a nail-biting finish as Cruwysie went out with us still requiring 6 to win. But a risky single ended up as a 5, after an errant throw from the former oasis player. This left 'The Sword' to end it the way he knows best with yet another 'dorothy'.
For ANA I thought they have some exciting prospects in 'flash' Coyne and the 'keeper Cross has very clean hands,and both are likely to play alot of Longy cricket. McCaffery the leggy shows alot of promise too with good loop and turn.


Just a couple of other outstanding performances down at the club, Steve Birtchnall had a cracking game in our 4's, taking 8-41 and backing that up with 41*.
Also in our Under 16A's, Steve Lay took a double hat-trick to go with his senior hat-trick last year. Once this kid takes his senior cricket seriously...just look out!
 
Re: City of Moorabbin Cricket Association 09/10

Nah not much of a game from my good self rocked up with a hangover courtesy of the work Xmas party then only made a low single digit score. Got back on the booze straight after the game though and felt very weary on the Sunday afternoon. Hit on the body twice from short balls I didn't see / slow reaction time!
Brighton's new recruit Stacey Brown got them over the line with his 80* including a 75 run 10th wicket stand to get them over the line. Good investment? Stiff West Bentleigh missing out on him!
Enjoy the Xmas season.......time for more drinks!
 
Re: City of Moorabbin Cricket Association 09/10

OB,
I have yet to see a scorebook which states that a batsman had 1,2 or more lives, so from that point you are quite correct. The only people that did not hear your skippers snick early in his innings were the arithmophobic Hoops, the mighty Juggernaut lads and ofcourse Mossy.To his credit your skipper went on and did the job.Ferguson is getting under the radar this season, with an average of 71.7 he will have to be closely monitored by opposition teams after the break.Really wrapped for Cruwysie as he is having a stellar season, and well deserved. In future please end your posts with.....'do you smell what the Ommies are cooking'.My God after three peaceful years, they are back...........:p

Re: City of Moorabbin Cricket Association 09/10

how can you put ivan delac in the top 12 players for the first half of the season. there are other players that have won games off their own bat. C Fergurson is avg 71. This just proves that Delac is living off his past years. i am sure he would not be happy with his year so far.

Topic can refer to:

* An area of interest, also called a subject
* What a composition is about; what is described by the main ideas and supporting details
o The focus of an article in a publication
o The focus of a discussion or debate; see On-topic

I think you need to be a Right Hand bat who builds a innings and not so aggresive:D
 
Re: City of Moorabbin Cricket Association 09/10

Here are some stats to assist with the debate, however I think he nailed it.
Good luck trying to get the ball out of Roids and Buntings respective hands.

S.McConchie (42.0)-294 runs
A.Mikkelson (53.3)-320 runs

M.Reid (66.5)-266 runs: 20 wickets @ 14.6 99.3 overs
D.Casey(76.5) 305 runs
I.Delac (53.0) 212 runs
L.Dallas(60.4) 302 runs: 12 wickets @ 12.5 46 overs

Unlucky:C.Ferguson:(71.7)-215 runs
Sugar 11 wickets @ 21.8.(80 overs)
By all reports has bowled very well with little luck.
 
Re: City of Moorabbin Cricket Association 09/10

Can't agree, Clock. Ferguson has to be in. Delac has made 1 score of 50+, fewer runs (albeit only 3) and a lesser average. Surely that's enough to put Ferguson in front at this point of then season?

Clocker,

There seems to be a whole lot of whining about that so called decision, but seriously which game of cricket is played without at least one disputed decision? I can think of at least 3 from our last game.
Sour grapes from the judge?

Also I'm not sure where you get this whole arrogance down at the 'brick' theme. Ego's aren't really tolerated at the club, so we'll just go about our business as we know best.

Mick,

I wouldn't take too much notice of what Tim was saying on a Sunday night after one hell of a bender. He knows more than anyone that we still have a massive challenge ahead of us.

Just on the team of the year at the half way stage, it's always going to spark debate. I'm pretty sure if you asked Moose himself,he'd tell you he hasn't been in the same form as in previous years. Ferguson's last 3 knocks have been crucial in the Ommers recording 3 wins, but you shouldn't look past what role Malane is playing. Having an opener scoring 243 @ 40 avg in 6 games, should be enough to give him that spot ahead of the other two.
 
Re: City of Moorabbin Cricket Association 09/10

The team of the year surely has to be the ESBC first XI......

they are the most successful club ever in the cmca, they dominated last 10 years and probably will win again this year.

why not just give all the east sandy champs a trophy now:D

I'd have Bailey just ahead of McConville as you're opening bat, but you'd probably have to go with McConville due to there being no keeper. Cruwys has taken two '5 fors' which should earn him a spot ahead of Finocchiaro. May & Baldock are walk up starts as your bowlers. Bottsy as your opener with May. Byrne-Murray & Worker are the 2 stand out all-rounders along with May. Wilkinson picks himself. Gaynor, McInerney & Still would be ahead of Tonkin & Burger.


Vin - was tossing the bait out to see who'd bite. No real takers. The Judge took a fair swipe at Mossy. Poor form.
 
Re: City of Moorabbin Cricket Association 09/10

Big Mossy Fan has a point, with only Duddy & Dallas mentioned. Cheeks could be worth a mention as before round 7, he had 16 wickets off 87 overs @12.5.

Having said, these guys have been the only consistent performers throughout the season. Bennett has had a couple of impressive games, while guys like Guy Martyn, Glen Phelan, & Ryan Pearce bob up when required.

It's been a true team effort, which we should expect no less of East Sandringham.

How about the Wooly stats Clock, I reckon Wally.B has got 30 plus nearly every start just hasn't posted the big one yet.

There are criteria you should be aware of also. You have to pick players according to position in the team as regards current season. ie.2 best specialist openers for the season who have batted predominantly in that spot so you can't pick The Judge or Duddy to bat there although they have done that job in previous years. They have not batted there this season. Team to be in batting order. Obviously a bit of leeway in the middle order as 4, 5, 6, 7 are a little more variable than other positions so there can be flexibility there.

At this stage my squad would be:-
Casey - technically sound yet free scoring
Dallas - dasher gets in as bat alone, being a quality spinner is cream on pie
Krotofil - sheer weight of runs, key to his team
Duddy - class and bonus of being quality keeper
Mikkelson - see Krotofil
Ferguson - Gets em when you need em
M.Reid - outstanding all-round season
Bunting - see Reid
Park - 30 overs every week at 2 per over and bags of wickets
Surridge - still the best fast bowler in comp
Hendy - continually improving and economical for his type
McConchie - quality performer week in week out in all facets



More research req'd for Wooly.
