What did everyone think of the first round?
Some interesting results.
Plenty won without their 2 best players. Camrea surprised some (not me I tipped them). They are a genuine finals threat Lower Eltham will be disappointed with their first up loss. Creek beat Bundoora at Yulong in what is a great win for them but a bad loss for the Bulls. The newly formed Research destroyed Mernda who still has clouds over it's batting. Stars got a good win first up against Epping and Riverside look like this may be their year after beating Eltham in a high scoring affair.
Thoughts?
Rossy & Lovey are their two best players.
Just thought I would mention a story I heard from the Riverside vs Eltham game this week. Apparently am Eltham player made a fairly personal and ordinary comment to a senior Riverside player. Didn’t even hang around to apologize and have a beer after the game either. A very disappointing display from all reports.
Agreed. very early doors yet. Plenty vs. Siders this week will be a good match.

It was only a matter of time….
When I walked out to bat I copped a barrage from close to 8-9 players and that continued every single ball, whilst I was expecting and looking forward to comments from the strangler and bubblewrap (you biscuit ;-) ).
Was my comment to Gibbsy acceptable? No, do I regret it yes. But for the love of god, 3 players approached the umpires and wanted me reported for calling you guys a pack of (Rhymes with “Punts”), Seriously boys if you are going to get upset by that, then you need to man up and grow some balls. If you can’t handle someone using the C Bomb, then you shouldn’t play sport!
As for not hanging around, those that know me on here know that I play hard and give and cop it. Live by the sword die by the sword (Well bowled Doyle), but I have ALWAYS hung around for a beer, no matter what happens. But unfortunately on Saturday night, ECC had a function in which I was organising.
I am more than happy to come have a beer with you boys on Thursday night!
I didn't give u anything, but you already know this. I personally didn't think it was worth me saying anything to u, I just wanted to get u out without saying a thing. Unfortunately u didn't get any strike from the end I was bowling from and I didn't get to bowl a ball at you which I am sure you would have been looking forward to as well.
I know u had a function, so did we. thought u would have snuck a quick one in given the circumstances.
The fact that u regret it is a good thing. The language whilst ordinary particularly to a player far superior to both you and me it was what unfolded as we walked to the drinks break that I didn't like.
Yeah I know u were looking forward to facing me I was trying to give your partner a single to get u on strike, unfortunately it was dispatched for 4 we will have to wait till next time. Don't really say a lot to the opposition when I bowl or bat. Rather concentrate on what I'm doing (that's where u stuffed up on the weekend). Fair enough about the function. He came up to u yes but it was the chesting I didn't like. Which I believe was your doing (2 sides to every story here but that's the way I saw it)
Whilst I come from the old days as well, where 'on the field stays on the field' was the way. I suggest you read the following:
http://www.cricketvictoria.com.au/page/member_protection_by_law.html
I did not write this, but I was involved in a tribunal hearing against these laws and can tell you ANYTHING you say will now impose a ban, trust me. There will be no forgiving you due to you believing what you said was not harmful.
The fact that the DVCA umpires are STILL not reporting people against this by-law will come back and bite them in the arse very very soon. I can tell you that I have heard there is also legal action against players, clubs and associations (not DVCA) due to them not protecting players in accordance with this law.
I suggest that you review what you say on the field to opposition players. You may not mean it and believe its a way to get on top but its not the way you can play now.
As for people chesting others on the field, you may want to speak to you local policeman and find out the definition of assault, because you just committed it, and, if referred, would be charged. That sort of crap is not welcome on a cricket field.
Cheers
Tongs, you really need to learn to read. At no stage did I judge or comment on your game, I was not there and I am not suggesting you were in the wrong for anything, how about you get off the defence. I passed on information. Thats it.
Don't ever ask a favour from me mate 'cos it ain't happening, how about asking Wally.
Cheers
