Thanks dingels. Credit should go to the players who have put their hands up to be a part of it and to everyone who has been able to get items donated to the cause. As it stands there is some high quality memorabilia. 2 items in particular are
a spot in the 2011 Handa Australian Women’s Open Pro-Am on Wednesday 2nd February at Commonwealth Golf Club, plus two ‘Season Passes’ (passes for all 4 days of the tournament); and also a bat signed by the Australia & England T20 teams. That's not to take away from some of the other stuff including rounds of golf for 4 (including carts) at a couple Victoria's premier golf courses, signed memorabilia from Mark Waugh, Matthew Hayden & Kapil Dev to name a few. It's been a fantastic effort so far by all involved. The Omega boys have been a great help as has Brett Ernst & Burger McMillan. It's great to see the CMCA lads pulling together for a great cause. All we need now are people to turn up to support the day with fat pockets for the auction items.
Good luck to everyone on Saturday and I hope to catch up with you all on Sunday.

May i offer my congrats to uncle and his crew down at the kookas, great work in taking the time to organise the fund raiser for our cousins in the nth,also to the all the boys who have jumped on board to play, and everyone who has and will contribute to the day.
I will urge all our supporters to get down to this great day and help it be successful.
Not to take the gloss off a wonderful event, but the CMCA juniors will hopefully be taking care of business first in their respective GF's in the VMCU Championships, then hopefully will make it down to the kookas for some extra celebrations.
Keep the frothies on ice UM.







4 CMCA Junior Rep teams make the semi-finals!
Last updated: Thursday January 13, 2011 5:01PM
FOUR JUNIOR REPRESENTATIVE TEAMS REACH SEMIS

In a great 2 weeks of junior cricket, all CMCA teams performed creditably in the VMCU Carnival with both U14s and both U12s getting to semi-finals.

The U16 Beitzel Shield team missed the finals by 1 game to end up 5th, having won 2, lost 2 and been washed out in the last Rd in a winning position. Ben Edmunds starred with the bat, and received support from Brayden O’Toole and Sam Chamberlain. Sam Chamberlain and Lachlan Hopwood were the main wicket takers.
The U14 Allen Shield team finished 2nd, winning 6 out of 7 matches.
They have a home semi-final at Mackie Rd Reserve on Fri 14th Jan, starting 10 am
If they win they play in the grand final on Sun 16th Jan at Myrtle Park, Balwyn Mel 46 B4.
Best batsmen have been Ollie Milner, Jarrod Munday, Chris Diggle and Harry Witts, while Mitch Clarke, Tom Collins,
Ollie Milner and Pat Burnell have done well with the ball.

The U14 Nolan Cup team finished 2nd with 5 wins out of 6.
They have a home semi-final at Le Page Park on Fri 14th Jan, starting 10 am
If they win they play in the grand final on Sun 16th Jan at Myrtle Park, Balwyn Mel 46 B4.
Michael Ratnam has been prolific with the bat, with Josh O’Donnell and Peter Bailes also getting a few.
Lee Natsioulas, Victor Jenkins and Peter Bailes have been the main wicket takers.

The U12 Mitchell Shield team is in 2nd place with 6 wins and their last game washed out.
They have a home semi-final at Peterson St Reserve on Fri 14th Jan, starting 10 am
If they win they play in the grand final on Sun 16th Jan at Chelsworth Park, Ivanhoe, Mel 31 G10.
Shubham Bhargave leads the entire comp in the batting, with Matt Vorbach, Joel Ludik and Zach Hanson also scoring well.
Joel Ludik, Billy McGregor, Scott Gordon and Joel Green lead an even attack.

The U12 Josh Browne Plate team is in 3rd place with 5 wins out of 6.
They have a semi-final at Myrtle Park, Balwyn Mel 46 B4 on Fri 14th Jan, starting 10 am.
Fingers crossed that the rain doesn’t ruin the game
If they win they play in the grand final on Sun 16th Jan at Chelsworth Park, Ivanhoe, Mel 31 G10.
Liam Manakis, Kiaan Storti and Adyn Coleman lead the batting, while Daniel Ewart, Jackson Noske and Sam Ryan have been very effective with the ball.:);):D
 
Sledinthewhatthefuic,
Good write up and you are obviously not as silly as first thought.
Hoops to finally taste glory as they also have one of the best spinners in the comp and are an extremely even team now that the junior golden one is back at his home.
John Jones was seen quivering down at Chisolm during the week, as there is also a real possibility that the Longy final could be played at lake centenary if the billionaires get in- note the best surface in the comp at the moment with the oasis should be used for the top two grades.
Lets hope that our colleagues on the committee can get it right come finals time;):D
 
Let's hope all clubs get behind the big bash on Sunday - massive cause! and hats off to UM in organising the event. Bring on the sun for the day :)
As for grounds Winky, having just played at Highett West this last week - it must rate up there with the others in terms of pitch and surface. Better than Hurly IMHO. Mackie is numero uno now they have taken off that crap synthetic, but the powers that be could do a lot worse than appoint a 'senior' GF at HW!
Could also be a good reward for this Sunday's effort..... speaking of which - better start my stretching!!! Sat and Sun could be a major issue :eek:
 
You have definetely started something Mick and with such short notice you have managed to obtain commitments from nearly 30 players. Little Birdy tells me Buddha is not playing this week. This could change a few people's tips. Spongebob, it is Monday morning you need to worry about.Make sure you bring that Fat lady that has been following you around all season.

The names of players who have put their hand up are:

Mark Bell Hampton United
Bill Biggs Bentleigh ANA

Danny Corp ESBC
Winton Corr Highett West
Michael Cove Brighton Union

Names in red have committed via their team-mates or haven't got back to me since Wednesday. Unfortunately Ash Russell had to pull the pin which is understandable after becoming a first time dad recently. We'll wait to see who turns up on the day and pick sides then, but as it stands there's an abundance of talent in the ones who have committed.

Evening All,

Congratulations Uncle Mick and all concerned in organising the big game I am sure it will be a great success and Merl will certainly be there off the field as no doubt being a good BCF friend of head selector Uncle Mick I am sure I could twist his arm for a spot in the 22, I will be more benefit off the field.Also I am sure I would have a large dart board target on the dial that a few of them would like to find the bullseye of.

Uncle Mick I know you are busy organising things and the Bobby Dazzler is the last thing on your mind but you are using a different fixture and have both teams in one match.

Nice to see the time piece clone lead his young lads into the Big Dance Sunday and it looks like Winki Pop will forgo the waves as he also follows the young charges into a hat trick of Grand Finals.

Army good to see you have your priorities right this week and along with a few others have submitted your Bobby Dazzlers.

Adam enjoyed the youtube as usual and nice to see you back to your satorial best but the Judge could be in a bit of strife with the Broadcasting control board after dropping the F bomb!!!Did the Judge remember to ring Mrs Judge back????

Winki and Sponge Bob the positive old Merl that I am attempting to be, would be just delerious if the Oasis and the new Oasis ( formerly Lake Centenary ) where to host top grade finals at a couple of boutique grounds and with a bit of luck we won't have to worry about Gold Cap Park should the thimbles remain either outside the four or as most likely they are the lower placed side and will be required under the Rainey rules to travel at least in the first two weeks!!Never write off the thimbles Congress broker to get finals action at GCP.

Will submit the all important tips on the next post as I need to get to both the woman on the train and the other one on the park bench to check a few selection queries


Merl over and out

Fantastic effort by Uncle Mick and Highett West to oraganise such an event at such short notice. Great to see so many people put their hand up for such a great cause.
I'm sure it'll be a cracker of a day!
 
Evening All,

What a big round of cricket and not just yesterday more games today and congratulations to Uncle Mick and all involved at the great day down at Highett West. It was good to shake a few hands and see a few faces I hadn’t seen for a while with many not knowing they were in fact in contact with the mysterious Merlot. But it is not about me it is about what so many generous people raised to help those devastated people in Qld. Great to see Uncle Mick’s mob had a win and the left arm sliders picked up a couple of wickets. It must be Karma the big fella upstairs rewarded him for his great work on the weekend.

The time piece thimbles touched up Slim’s mob but still remain outside the four which is a great place for them to be. The Royals put Parkers mob in a spin and it is getting to the desperate stakes as an ABP has been sent in search of the main spider. Please indulge positive Old Merl, Parker you haven’t got a child like ban?
The Big Macs showed Merl was suspicious when they indeed showed the so called Contenders to be their usual pretenders and performed worse than the politician’s beloved party at the last election.
The Billionaires showed up Brudes mob with a regulation win and the panthers have not troubled the scorers since before Christmas which in the same time Brudes has also forgotten to lodge any tips
The result between Merl’s beach boys and the Golfers did not make the Sunday papers and as I was out of range at the time was not able to pick up Jimmy’s radio show.Anyone know the result?
The cowboys had all guns blazing as they made too many runs for a gallant broken down machine. Our very own B did not make it to the barrier however he would have been proud of his boys who got close but no cigar.

In the Bluff Rd Cup with the sword strangely summoned to Longy in recent time left the Bricker boys under manned against the timepiece thimble twos who won accordingly.
The Highway Pretenders v Wallet Park, and the Cluden v Moo West games seemed to be victims of the big wet and Merl thought it was only turf cricket that didn’t play when the hot sun was blazing down on us. Merl struggles to be positive in the best of times but in the words of Pauline Hanson please explain!!!!!!!!!!!
The billionaire twos short circuited Jimmy’s old mob’s time in the winner’s circle with an easy victory.
Uncle Mick’s mob got a well deserved victory over the court jesters with the hyphen’s ton being more than the jester’s entire scoreline.

In the Bobby Dazzler nice to have a few more tipster back from holidays and the upsets continued with our distraction park correspondent sure to fill us in on how Parker’s spiders left them with no points.
The panthers, cowboys, wallet parker, golfers and the big macs all had wins.
I will update the tips when a beach boy or a golfer hands in their card on the 19th hole!!!

Positive Merl over and out

Yes Merl, Elwood bowled Kingston Heath out for 72 -- Marshall taking 4/11 and R0b De Haan 3/13. We made 2/75 in reply. Adam Howard making 34 not out, Nathan Harris 28 not out. We put the scores into the CMCA so not sure why they weren't in the paper.

And kudos to Uncle Mick for yesterday. Fantastic stuff mate.
 
Thanks fellas, but credit where it's due and that goes to everyone who pitched in. From all the Highett West volunteers, to the volunteers from other clubs that were able to help out, donate items or acquire donated items, to the people that turned up and support making it the success it was. But above all that, the players are the ones who put their hands up which ultimately made the day come together. It makes one a very proud person to be a part of the Highett West Cricket Club and the CMCA when you see what we were able to achieve in 4 days.
We did a bit of a count last night, but hopefully when we get together again tonight we'll know exactly how much was raised. We expect to make an announcement by late tonight or sometime tomorrow. Well done again to everyone involved and everyone who turned up.
 
I would hope the CMCA goes out of its way and awards the January MVP of the month to you Mick.Sometimes its not just the runs and wickets that count.To all the CMCA players and supporters who attended and donated items for ausction with such short notice. Full credit to you all of you.
 
Afternoon All,

Old Merl had a bit of time on his hands and has sufficiently recovered from the big day yesterday to pen a few lines.

Thanks Brian and Jimmy for the result but positive Merl still does not know why neither club was able to access a computer and put something into my cricket.

Results on Saturday's tipping and the fixture for next week are below:

Merl still leads from Jimmy in striking distance with Simone Baker breathing down Jimmy's neck.Whether Merl can emulate the great Scotch & Dry or Vo Rogue ( both front running stayers for you youngsters ) and lead all the way will be decided as we near the business end of the season!
