Brad Dolman’s 2012/13 season in Longmuir Shield: Bowling: 12 games, 244 overs, 70 maidens, 46 wickets @ 13.52, SR 31.85, Economy 2.55, best 6/58 Batting: 12 games, 10 innings, 3 not outs, 160 runs @ 22.86, HS 37* Not bad considering he was on his honeymooon during Round One.

Now Listen, the nothing to lose comment was a failed attempt at reverse psychology on the unbackable favourites. If you know me well enough you'd understand you need to read more than just the words written. I've played the game long enough to know that that you can't make friends with everyone...

Straight Bat, I can clarify your "speculation" with facts. 1. Things were heated in the middle, as you'd expect with a tight game. A warning was given to a player & subsequently Biggs as captain, but no official reports on the day (no one should have an issue with tough talk on the field)...

It's very easy to have a crack at MWCC as a club based on the limited information being released. Let's remember that BUCC are competitors in the truest nature. They don't mind getting involved in battles, even if it's just verbal, so to suggest that they did absolutely nothing to provoke the...

500+ runs for the season with a broken hand? Super human.

So on the positives... it's worth commenting that Brad Dolman took his 5th consecutive 5 for on Saturday. Get down to King George today for the Battle of Glen Eira T20 Shield. Cricket, DJ's, food & drinks sounds like a good day.

In fairness to UM, I think the question's just been raised to confirm if it was a legitimate tactic. Nothing was raised as to whether it was legal or not. It's an interesting discussion, and the defensiveness of some suggest it might be true.

Clock, the last two games ANA have won against Elwood & Mackie have led to comments on this forum that the losing teams failed dismally. Instead, maybe the focus should be on giving credit to ANA's bowling attack. The relentless pressure on Saturday put on by Dolman & Lee highlights their status...

Snakes are going well, including the one in my backyard. Big game this round no doubt... second half of the year needs to be just as good as the first to silence the critics.

Everyone must be left speechless seeing ANA 6-1 and 2nd on the ladder.

Clocker, the EPL finale was the best thing I've seen in any sport. Was lucky enough to sit in Mancini's hot seat at Etihad during the week of the derby. Was surprised Washups weren't the champion club, but finals wins don't count, and the number of junior teams at BUCC would have got them over...

I don't buy for a second the theory that "it's great for the competition that Bentleigh Uniting is raising the bar, and it's up to the other clubs to follow suit". Putting it simply, this is a metro park cricket comeptition. Yes most clubs have thrown a few dollars around to grab a decent...

Welcome new thread. Nice to set the rules early Burger, but if your demands aren't met, I hope you don't allow the conversation to degrade as you have in the last thread, otherwise this will fall apart also. And yes I know they started it, but you weren't ending it either. *rant over*...

East Sandy certainly showed it today. Played with absolute desire against more fancied opposition. And well done to the Washups too when all seemed lost. Don't know how they would have coped losing two in a row by a wicket. Welcome back to Longmuir Shield.

De Haan won on 16 votes, Lalor on 12, Handley on 11.

I love the creativity of turning 8 wins, 2 draws and a loss into "won 10 out of 11". Nonetheless, a breakout year for the Spiders. They will either win or lose the game not by ability, but mentally. With Dollman & Heywood, the Sharks are a much better outfit than last year when they lost on...

Having commended Chubbs for what he does on the field, when there's banter to be shared, he's not one to hold back. If that costs him votes, then I don't think it's the fault of the umpires.

It was a very busy time being part of the cordon supporting Keith Schleiger's 97 Longmuir wickets in the 03-04 & 04-05 seasons. This also with 4 piece balls & synthetic pitches. Having said this, Simon Surridge has been doing the job for Uniting for the best part of 20 years, and will be...

UM... I think you should just stick with the above.

Uncle Mick, to clarify ANA's recent history, after being relegated in 98/99 we won Woolnough in 99/00 only to be relegated again in 00/01, were Woolnough runners-up in 01/02, and then finished Longmuir minor premiers in 02/03, only to go out in straight sets and finish 3rd. So Longmuir finals...
