big test this week for the bears coming up against former gca1 side manifold. obviously this game could turn ugly or the bears could suprise a few people and put up a decent fight(and before bubble brains like meat pies and ants14 pipe up with moronic dribble i dont mean they'll beat manifold just that they could fight it out and not get embarrased) condy looks to be in some decent form with the willow and if blokes like McCormack and zimmer get going marshall could be chasing a total of john holmes porportions! Trent leslie has been marshalls best performed player all year and hopefully will continue that form 2moro with some help from levi cameron and williams. Id say manifold will get the points fairly comfortably but wouldn't be suprised if marshall avoid an outright result.

yes so i see... and north shore are on shaky ground again as well..

but us 'bubble brains' are over it now
 
Re: GCA & BPCA match previews and reviews

didbt i shotty being a muppet? i cant be a bubble brain and a muppet, it just doesnt fit. good job by us yesty anyway, had lara 9-203 after 80, they declared to bowl one over at us with danny hughes at the crease still. we are 0-0 at stumps after 1. strange decision i thought, especially with hughes still there they could have piled on another 50 runs on a good batting deck and a fast outfield

well apprently the curator watered the wrong pitch! few boys said it was pretty ordinary but id just put it down to manifold having a better side. i mean marshall got rolled for 86 and mCcormack belted 89 so it couldn't have been to bad.

ther is no way that curator would water the wrong pitch, someone else might but not the curator, he is a very good curator. just two very different sides id say.

Thomson Vs St Peter’s at Godfrey St.

DAY ONE

Thomson won the toss and elected to bat on another Thommy pearler.
Newcomer to the side Graham Clarke (3-21) caused havoc early on with his left arm swingers and his one handed screamers. At one stage having Thomson 3-19 with the 3 key scalps of McCoy (2), Saltalamacchia (8) and Smiljanic (2) under his belt. Smiljanic could count himself unlucky as Clarke took a one-handed gem off his own bowling to dismiss the hard hitter.

Sean O’Neill (45) and Chris Strods (42) built a firm partnership to rescue the derailed innings. Strods taking 21 overs to get to 10 before doubling his score with consecutive boundaries off Clay Nelson (1-47), one clearing the fence for a maximum. They put on 79 for the 4th wicket and took Thomson to 97 before O’Neill was adjudged LBW to Illingworth (4-47). Stephen Dahlhaus (30) met Strods at the wicket and picked up where O’Neill left off. Strods was well caught at mid-off when he skied an Illingworth delivery, leaving the Thomson Tigers precariously placed at 5-130 off 50 overs. Out come Matt Plant (61*) and the intensity from the fielders lifted and the batsmen were happy to have it going both ways. Illingworth looked to have trapped Plant on the crease before he got to 10 but was given not out, much to the disgust of the St Peter’s captain. Dahlhaus misjudged some fine work by the point fieldsman and was a foot short of his crease in trying to get a second run and was run out for a well made 30. 15 year old Dowling Shield member Jack Rodgers came and went the same delivery giving Clay Nelson his only wicket of the day. Dean Riches went back to a short one to the disbelief of the Thomson Coaches and was bowled from one that kept low from Aaron McArthur (1-35), giving him his 4th wicket of the 08-09 campaign. Thomson were starting to undo all the early work O’Neill and Strods did until Patrick O’Neill (15) joined Matt Plant in what could turn out to be an invaluable 40 run partnership for the 9th wicket. P O’Neill eventually bowled by Illingworth who broke the stump. Phil Featherston (1) was also bowled by Illingworth but helped Plant reach his maiden Thomson 1st XI 50 eventually finishing on 61*. Thomson bowled out in the 80th over for 223. In total 7 St Peter’s bowlers were used, the pick of the wicket-less bowlers being Scott Holbrook (0-27).

St Peters had one over to negate. Gavin Nelson (1*) got a single off the first delivery from Dean Riches (0-1) and Matthew Baker (0*), coming off a pair against Corio in the 1sts, successfully saw the Saints to stumps. An interesting days play waits next week with Umpire Neil Martin having to separate Thomson’s opening bowler and St Peter’s batsmen Baker after the youngster was obviously affected from some choice words from the Thomson fielders.

It is set up for an enthralling finish with 2nd placed St Peter’s looking to consolidate their ladder position whilst Thomson are looking to make up ground against those above them. Steve Illingworth and the Nelson’s hold the key to St Peter’s if they are going to get over 200 for the first time this season, while Riches, Featherston and P O’Neill need some early wickets to put pressure on a somewhat fragile middle order.

Talks like a veteran of the GCA.

If he was a Thommy Tiger Cub he'd be getting a stern word on not talking to the opposition when batting. After facing 5 balls and averaging a whopping 11 from 8 innings this season i think he should let his cricket; or lack thereof, do the talking.

But i suppose playing with C.Nelson every week you're bound to pick up on some bad habits.

Good call. At 15, you should be taking it all in and saying as little as possible. But if he can get some runs against you blokes, then good on him

good point. i played my first game in the 1's when i was 15.. maybe 16. we bowled first, and charlie owen came out to bat and i sledged the crap out of him from point, not knowing who he was.
needless to say, my 1XI career was short lived that season.
