Re: MMVCA General Cricket Chat 2009/10
I am from St Andrews and have no problem with the current system,we have in place for finals and the two most consistant sides for the year are playing in the Grand Final.
The rules have been there when Moses was a pup(new him well)and thats the bottom line.
My problem is the two issues that happened prior to the Finals and during the finals.
The first was dealt with by the tribunal properly,but the leadup before and how it came to fruition was blatanly wrong.
To hear certain people during and after admit in front of independant witnesses that they mis-interpreted the truth is outright wrong and will never be forgiven from my part. As i said in an earlier post,you make your bed and have to sleep in it.
The second issue i have is with a certain person who again blatanly didnt do what we would call the best, in the interests of the game.
Would not made any difference to the result but leaves a bad taste in your mouth,from someone who presumably should know better.
These comments are my own and are in no way reflective on anyone else.
I hope the grand final does play out the weekend and the better team wins.
Back to the cricket,good news we have our two one day sides in the Grand final with a big chance and our 2nds have fought back very well and are right in their grand final.
I have had my say and will not comment on this any more but everyone had plenty to say about us,maybe the truth might make people think a little more.

Re: MMVCA General Cricket Chat 2009/10
F.O.S, totally agree with what you said re: the current system in place - they have been there for years, people need to deal with it!
Your second comment re: the issue between St Andrew's and Glenroy has been put to bed. As you said, a lot of people have made their comments on that matter; let's hope all involved can move on and not hold grudges, we're all adults aren't we?
Good luck to your one dayers and the 2's this weekend. The weather (as it stands) predicts 28 (60% chance of 1-5mm of rain) for Friday, Saturday is 25 (50% chance of less than 1mm) and Sunday is predicted to be 21 (with an 80% chance of 5-10mm). Should be an interesting weekend of cricket for all levels!
Good luck!!

Re: MMVCA General Cricket Chat 2009/10
I have been wondering if the current game position would have been different if the grass on Raeburn was cut for cricket and the ground was not being protected for football?
Or even played at a different ground completely.
Merlo are stroke players while Glenroy are hitters.
Don't read sloggers - they are just stronger hitters.
Not taking anything away from glenroys bowling attack who have bowled really well.
Has Merlo been a little hard done by here considering that none of the games this year have been played on a ground like that?
Just posing a question.

Well where do you want to play it?
Play it at the ground with the best facilities and the best surface and wicket!
Which ground ticks all the boxes?
Not too many out there!

Re: MMVCA General Cricket Chat 2009/10
I dont know Reggie but the question was not questioning Raeburn (which miracously was available 1 week after we were told it was not) it was posing the question if the ground was more suited to cricket and hence Merlo's bats who play differently to Glenroy - would the game balance be different?
I dont remember Raeburn's grass being like that last year.
We all know the decks in our comp can be good if the council put the time in - they dont so lets not go there.
I think at this stage the Roys are in front but if Merlo can get a couple early - the pressure might be put on the middle order.
I am enjoying watching both these teams play. Great blokes on both teams and it is a shame one has to go home this weekend empty handed.
Good luck to both teams.

Re: MMVCA General Cricket Chat 2009/10
lol, what an interesting comment, sums you up to a tee............what you dont realise champ is that in life in the real world your actions follow you and when you do something you should actually want to stand by your actions.
This has nothing to do with cricket. Its called charachter. Cricket has winners and losers, that is the game, and i would rather be known as a hot hea who may step over the line oiccassionally (as paul may have done) than what a few a you boys have become.
At least puch him in the face (not that you boys would face to face anyway) after you boys knifed him rather than piss in his pocket and say the club forced you boys into it. One day you will grow and realise what a c%%k you are.
I would back newts 100% and even though he may have stuffed up when people speak to him off the ground they would call him a great bloke.
I hate writing something like this in gf time as it takes focus off the game of crciket. I actually mean good luck to both sides and i hope the best side wins and if it is glenroy cant wait for the sts to knock em over next year.

Re: MMVCA General Cricket Chat 2009/10
More dribble. I thought everyone had moved on from this world changing event. Unfortunately, there still seems to be a few on here who wish to play my d@!# is bigger than yours. Move on. Life's short.
Back to the cricket.
Interesting comments from putabellintheball.
Not sure whether it would have changed the shape of the match greatly but it may have. If Merlynston were able to score quicker earlier perhaps their middle order may have been able to capitalise on the start. They will tell you that the loss of early wickets changed their focus to consolidation so I'll put that down to good bowling rather than a slow outfield.
On the state of the outfield, yes it's lush but there still needs to be a willingness to score. Merlynston didn't show a lot of that whereas Glenroy did. In their short innings so far they have been willing to go. And I'm guessing that on a normal outfield those 3 boundries hit by Parker may have increased considerably. So would Glenroy's 69 have been 89 or more at stumps.
The first 10 overs this Saturday will tell the story. If the bowlers can break through early, put pressure on the middle order, then game on. If not I think Glenroy may be on the road to their third premiership in 6 seasons.

Re: MMVCA General Cricket Chat 2009/10
Thats a pretty valid point. Glenroy certainly came out with a goal in mind to pile on some quick runs and it has worked so far. Merlo need those early wickets. If Parker gets settled - he could be in for a big one.

Re: MMVCA General Cricket Chat 2009/10
My opinion Merlo cost themselves this grand final by batting like the way they did, Being in trouble so early in the game they would of been better off having a swing late sat and scoring as much as possible and if they got out they lose 1st innings which they will anyway and then they will have a decent timeframe to win on 2nd innings, where as now they have to take 20 wickets against 1 of the best batting sides in the comp not impossible but Merlo dont have the attack to do so.
As for the ground condition the ground is great and yes the ball is travelling slow along the deck but there is more space in the air. But as a cricketer wouldn't you realise that if your not scoring runs along the ground be more aggresive or at least push for more singles where as Merlo more than happy to play for time, MAYBE just MAYBE they are doing raindances as i type.
