Another hero has emerged. Robert Fletcher from Epping made 122* out of 1/157 off 22 overs in G2 Grade. And he batted at 3, so presumably batted a few overs less than 22. And Snelson from Monty racked up his 3rd ton of the year bullying some G graders. Lucky the ball didn't hit him in the head...

I think pathetic is a fair comment. They lost 6 for 1 to lose by 32. Against Eltham they lost 6 for 13 to lose by 1. If they were Pakistan, the anti-corruption unit would be looking into them!

And in F1, Diamond Creek have picked Michael Hansen. Fun times in F Grade.

If........... I always love hearing excuses.

Don't write off Monty just yet. The need to win 2 of the last 3 games. I reckon they are a good chance to get the runs this week. Diamond Creek couldn't even bat their overs. Then if they beat North Eltham next game they are safe.

C Grade is seconds. F Grade is 3rds and 4ths. Favrin once made a double ton in G grade. G grade is a lot of clubs' 4ths, 5ths and 6ths. Big difference.

I had a read of that rule and the DVCA would be better if it were adopted. It would only impact a handful of players at each club, and would make lower grade cricket much fairer.

Given they are the top team, they probably didn't need to bowl a Money Shield bowler. Seems like a case of a player not being available for both Saturdays. The problem stems from different grades having different playing dates. Money Shield having a 2 dayer, while lower grades having 2 x 1...

From the scorecard, it looks like Heidelberg had 11 players, with Favrin making 50% of the runs.

Gee, he does have a bit of form with that. 2013/14 - G Grade - 209 2007/08 - 4th Grade - 201 2016/17 - F1 Grade - 191 This from a bloke that's scored 5 first XI hundreds for his club (probably more before MyCricket). What a w*nker.

Big fish, small pond. If you look closely at it, they picked him in the 4ths, even though their 3rds were also playing a one-dayer. Their 3rds are pretty safe in the 4, and their 4ths are just outside. So it wasn't just about giving a bloke a game of cricket, it was about picking him in a...

Some pretty poor arguments there. He played E Grade the first three rounds. And he played with his father in E Grade in Round 3. His father also notched up 179 in G Grade in one of the games. Like I said - he is playing below his skill level. And so is his father it would seem.

How many forfeits are we tipping this week? The last time the final game before Christmas fell on the 22nd (2012/2013) - G, H and the One Day grade didn't have a game. Most workplaces are closing this Friday. I know of many players that are leaving for holidays on Saturday. I reckon the...

Checking the numbers - In 2013/14 Research played five T20s at home. Generating $15,000 would mean food and beverage sales of $3,000 per match. (I'm ignoring prize money) Even if Research managed to pull 100 spectators per match, each person (man, woman and child) would have to consume $30 of...

Warwick Todd loves pointing out heroes in the lower grades. Seems someone at Monty might be playing in a grade a little below his skill level. 160* & 180 in the space of two weeks.

I assume you're a batsman.

I don't think we need to try something different. Saturday arvo cricket works just fine. I think we may have too many clubs in close proximity to each other and some may struggle from time to time, but other than that, I don't see whats wrong. T20 is purely a spectator sport. If the...

T20 is a complete joke. 3 forfeits yesterday. What does it say when an ENTIRE club can't get 11 blokes on the field? Then there's plenty of other of clubs that have to make up their side with kids and 2nds players. I know plenty of people at clubs that say "We'll take it seriously next...

Trap is still coaching after resigning then being reappointed. Bit of a shambles. What are the chances of washouts tomorrow? Even if it stops raining by 1pm, the grounds have got to be very wet.

If the Monty boys lose this round, it could be back to Money Shield.
