Re: Geelong Cricket Chat
In which case all games go ahead as planned, I'm not sure why this is ridiculous.
EDIT: At last check the forecast had gone up to 44. Could be some bad news for the bears.

Rumour has it that you always seem to have something on matchday when you're scheduled to play him. I quote the great man
IE: this season, moving house I do believe.
Which 1st XI cricketers move house on a Saturday?

I suppose a man needs to move house, when a man needs to move house.
No justification needed.

Re: Geelong Cricket Chat
just some thoughts on who has the best and worst spreads at tea break, i'm putting thomy up there with the best with waurn ponds a very close 2nd and after last weekend the A.T vikings have come home storming in last. homeless people get better spreads.
i will have to say the most surprising was when we played corio in the 4ths at flinders peak secondary about 15 year ago and they supplied fish&chips on the bonnet of a beat up old VC commodore.

Re: Geelong Cricket Chat
A few years ago the Waurn Ponds spread was 6 boxes of barbeque shapes. Recently it's been a banquet, hot dogs, mini parmies, sausage rolls, fruit, cake and more. Truly a pleasure for the team that bats second.

Re: Geelong Cricket Chat
we had Geelong West in the 1st XI the other day on a Sunday and it was unbelievable. They had sandwiches, sausage rolls, party pies, frankfurts, scones, big-m's, cakes, donughts, chocolate coated ice cream cones. There was seriously enough food to have for 6 sides. unfortunately we were about to bowl in the one day game, so missed out on pigging out big time. Apparently one of the guys grandmother does the whole lot. But in comparison the guys that played against the West 3rd XI said there arvo tea consisted of tim tams, bbq shapes, bbq shapes and bbq shapes !! hehe, but the 1st XI made up for the lot !!

Re: Geelong Cricket Chat
Having just been dismissed for a golden duck and our team precariously placed at the Viking coop, the only thing keeping me happy was the knowledge that afternoon tea was 15 minutes away. Like myself, many of the Thomson 1st XI envisaged a glorious banquet of sandwiches, sausage rolls, fruit and maybe some cake that I hadn't even heard of before.
Much to my distest, afternoon tea wasn't served upon our arrival upstairs at Alexander Thomson, after an arduous 3 minutes with only cordial to consume finally some movement was being made in the kitchen. Now I was beginning to be happy.
Then revelations were relayed back to me from former Viking Chris Strods that AT's afternoon policy was as follows:
"Each 1st XI member is to bring a plate of food, fruit or otherwise for afternoon tea"
As I saw the stale tarts, 3 day old foccacia bread and half eaten box of shapes my heart started to cry.
I found my wallet and a brisk 2 minute car drive and $25 later the Thomson Tigers were feasting on chicken and salad sanga's courtesy of Highton Safeway.
The morale of the story: AT's afternoon tea is an embarassment.

Re: Geelong Cricket Chat
St Peters roster on two wives or girlfriends each week; one from each participating grade. They then put togethert the sandwiches, hot food and fruit platters. Not saying it's one of the best but it's ok compared to some other places. God love the girls. Very happy with Thomson this year; Manifold Heights was ok as well.

Re: Geelong Cricket Chat
It does surprise me that some of you actually really think it's B Nichols posting to these forums. It's a guy from Little River that he had regular run-ins with, when the two clubs played. Those in the know would not find it that hard to work out when they read all the posts. He's just taking the piss, and some of you are buying it.
For the record Nichols played all his junior cricket at Murgheboluc, went to Manifold (then Geelong Cement), Geelong in the VCA, back to Mano for a few games, then Murgheboluc again when the club moved to King Lloyd Reserve. His older brother was President at the time.
