[Bingle_21]

Yeah it was a big night at North Park mate, it was all sorted out after the 20th can.

[HappyDayz]

well i would like to join in the conversation about people's efforts from saturday night, but unfortunately i cant remember much, so ill stay out of that one!..... catter i hope you're ready for a bit of hard work, seems some of my back lawn needs replacing!! onto cricket. i think monza should be left alone, i thought some of his sledges were worth his place in the side, new and creative, just what we like! listen to HappyDayz pipe up with the smart comments now that he has learnt the art of batting for red ink! not bad are ya!

Diddo now that your batting ave (and keeping standards) has skyrocketed after a fair start to the season after hovering at about 6 over the past season and a bit.:D That Federeal Hotel award has gone to your head (or should i say stomach), hope you can get your helmet on this weekend.

[Scrappa's Love Child]

I heard brad clifton is moving to wagga to excape Gay rumors spreading through the cricket circles... is this true?

Fancy coming to an online forum and making a statement like that Fooz, Or maybe its your Mrs online, who is apparently heads over heels for that Clifton and is expressing her bitter disappointment that she will now never have a chance to be with him?

[Catter]

Fancy coming to an online forum and making a statement like that Fooz, particularly when you are a good 80 kilos overweight and have been rumoured to be in trouble with the law for touching little boys...Have the courage to make statements like that to the bloke's face next time so he can re-arrange it for you....Or maybe its your Mrs who is apparently heads over heels for Clifton and is expresisng her bitter disappointment that she could never have him???

Wow scrap!, what the matter?. To much Light ice or not enough?

Not trying to make enemies mate, but i just thought it was a bit poor by the Nully boys. If they weren't prepared to field a side to play the game as scheduled then the should forfeit. I am pretty sure all of the other clubs have days when there are other things on, but the rest of us seem to manage it.

If not for the midweek storm i doubt they would have got away with it!!
But i doubt anyone from the board wanted to drive over and have a look, so i guess they had to take their word for it? Will pass over as highly suss at best.

Obviously not interested?? Only just an A grade player anyway probably, but as is common in many players around this town, not prepared to push himself???

rumour has it that the power went off during the week and set the automatic sprinklers off at an ungodly hour when noone was around to turn them off. is this the case or more misinformation?

I'll take the heat as i wrote that one.. So was the pitch still wet from midweek, or did further water find it's way onto the wicket friday night??

I know for a fact that not many of the boys intended playing cricket on Saturday. It may have been a coincidence that the pitch was wet. I just found it a little strange thats all. I happen to spend a fair bit of time out that way Tripper so i wouldn't discount the thought that i may have seen it

Mick bowled and took 6 for bugger all. Has a crook hammy and was off the short run though was the hairy man.

[facts_rite]

Yeah well with all the bickerings goin on bout the Nully pitch, the boys got up for their first win of the year! Good game of cricket with Shane Kelly takin 5/8 of 6.2 overs. Kelly also snared a catch and a runout!! Billy Hewitt got 4/30 odd off 9 overs and backed up with the bat making an unbeaten 46. Has 2 b pushing it for the best all rounda in the league! The term 'freak storm' has been talked about for a while and looked 2 b anotha on the way there satdy, but luckily went round the ground and play continued!

Agree with that, and if playing prob would be best option, but i think he should have taken the field before being selected for a rep team, their must be at least 7 other keepers out there each week??
What about the rest of the team??

Very good side i reckon. Will be awesome to play alongside Dan again. The whole side walks taller when he is in it. Will also be great to play in the same side as Nabby. I think it would be worth getting to the game to have a look

I don't think so??
I would probably open with McNees and Groat on current form, then there is yourself on a par with Hewitt, Humphries, McNab. Any of these 4 are top bowlers but only two of them can bowl first change?? But now that i think of it, it will probably be you!!

Who has the best figures so far? How often is this thing picked on form?

[ROOTA#6]

Who has the best figures so far? How often is this thing picked on form?

This year is probably the first time that all the top players have been available at one time, so it is probably picked based on form as well as last years performances. There is no doubt that Dan is the best by far, bu the rest of us are pretty equal, which is good to have in your attack

[Bingle_21]

I would have thought there would be rules saying you had to have played for the competition in that year. If not it seems strange. Has he played anywhere else this year?

Seems like a crock of sh it to me. You should have to play to be in the side hands down. And not just one game surely.

He is a registered player with the Association. But i agree it would be good if he had played a couple of games. I am certain that they are lloking at the fact that you need a pretty high quality keepr in the side with Dan firing down thunderbolts

You stated earlier that people don't push themselves around here. My point is why would you? If people are just going to come in and grab your spot, what is the point??
It should be about who has the best figures over a certain amount of matches, done fairly. Not on past performances. That certainly would encourage the youngsters.

Guus, you make a very good point and i agree with you. I am just trying to come up with a couple of possible reasons for the selection. When it comes to the bowling selections i am pretty sure that there are not too many who would argue with them. Mick Boulton would be one that be talked about, but he may be struggling with injury and he has played tha much rep cricket i am sure he doesn't mind too much

I'll think you will find that he doesn't have a great record when he did play here? While i recognise he has been playing well in Melb. in recent years, it does seem a bit unfair on the other keepers around as you say..

Not too many other options. We haven't argued that..
Ryno was clearly one of the better ones if available, aslo Morpeth at Woorinen, while Johnson who is already in the team is quite good with the gloves i believe? Unsure who does it for Tooleybuc but they have obviously taken the ball from the hand of McNees already and Barnes which would also be a challenge..

I have heard he is bowling really well. I think it is a case of no batsmen around here are good enough to nick them, and if they do they are bloody hard to hang on to. I am sure that he isn't too concerned about me mate.

Maybe we could get on the fone to Mr Leigh Paynter, or even DAVID!!!!!!

[roosta07]

With him living in Melbourne, doing year 12 exams and not having a licence its a bit hard for him to get in any games 4 hours away.. Has been on Swan Hills list all year and has to be one of best keepers in the league and lets not forget the kid can bat... If he can get a game at Carlton as a keeper, although not in the highest grade surely he deserves the respect as being the leagues first choice as keeper with most of the rest being speed humps for the lack of a recognised keeper.

As former NSW (and a couple of games for Vics last year) keeper Nathan Pilon keeps for Carlton I dont think he would have played 1's, although if Pilon was away he could of. Has to be good for his keeping having Chuck Berry as his coach at Carlton you would think.

WE WON!!!!

Batted first got of to a solid but slowish start, got into trouble in the middle order. Billy Hewitt chimed in with 60 odd not out, couple of 20's in there also helped us get 190 after 50 overs

We bowled with Dan leetting a few rip. he claimed 2 in 2 balls in his fourth over to get us off to a good start and we just kept it going to roll them for about 76. Dan took 4/8 from 10 overs. Jeremy Barnes with 3, Yella with 2 and Dr Finch 1.

Good win by the lads

We bowled with Dan leetting a few rip. he claimed 2 in 2 balls in his fourth over to get us off to a good start and we just kept it going to roll them for about 76. Dan took 4/8 from 10 overs. Jeremy Barnes with 3, Yella with 2 and Dr Finch 1.

Good win by the lads

yes very convincing win by you guys, i was a member of the borough boys squad, thought we had ya at the start but a few good partnerships got you away and running and u never looked back thought we bowled ok, just couldnt contain u guys. obviously our batting was terrible but credit to your bowlers who bowled well especially the big fella. we had a few kids playing cos half the others couldnt be trucked going all that way but none the less deserving winners. i think i can speak for a few of us guys when i say that was one of the toughest days of cricket ive had in a while, as a few of us were suffering from severe hangovers.

Telstra 101 I don't know if you can help me but reportedly there were some serious injuries sustained in your hit out with Nully on the weekend.
Broken ribs, black eyes and muscle strains amongst others can you confirm or have i been taken for a ride?

I can confirm a black eye was sustained, but not by any of the players

How did you rate the performance of the much talked about young keeper/batsman?
Did he look the goods after his time in the Melb district ranks, have a feeling he would have?

He was fantastic behind the stumps. Took a screamer off Dan to claim the first wicket and send us on our way

Good to see the Guardian in good form today. I notice in the stars of the week section that Andy Abbott is now making runs for Nully and Herby Warne has changed his name to Alan. Fair Dinkum, bring back Clifton!!!

fair call there roota. the coverage of cricket has been a discgrace since cruikshot was given the ass. at least barry got around to the games in town and had a look and the last bloke couldn't because he played, what is the new blokes excuse? haven't even seen pamela around to much either. if i was bongo martin i would be spewing that aussie munro was given the nod ahead of him as the best performed bowler fo the blues.

P. Munro 15-1-63-3
B. Martin 15-2-49-3

you work it out???
that bloke you guys had fielding for the day was worth his value, good pair of hands:D

So what happened? Was there a fight at the game??

Nah mate, the black eye was sustained by the Umpire, Basha Boys. Apparrently while watching the front line for a no ball the ball has slipped out of the bowlers hand just before delivery and smacked Bash in the eye. Went down like he was shot Yella reckons. Was a massive shiner

pretty harsh call for a first up effort. Some coverage is better than none?
