Can answer your question re Haig. They are the real deal, have picked up a stack of good players including the opening bowler, quickest bowler ive faced in 25 years of playing senior cricket and a couple of gun bats. I always rated Parker the best bat in the comp the last few years but Haigs...

Well looks like rain ruined it for all sides bar Pacco. they would be ecstatic to have a win when no one else got on. On a different note it was completely frustrating to have no umpire turn up on the second saturday. Imagine the problems that could have caused if we had got on and were closing...

Well it looks like that was all a storm in a teacup!! Congratulations to all finalists. Unlike some other people Im a firm believer that if you win enough games and finish top 4 you are worthy finalists....What do you think Komodo?? You were happy to pot west coburg last week, do you think St...

. But what happen to West Coburg staying for one drink aleast on saturday night by the time St Mary's had put the ropes around the wicket they were gone. I understand it was a big game for both sides but atleast have 1 drink with us I promise it wasnt sour grapes. St Marys outplayed us, plain...

I fear the MMVCA will fold in the next season or 2....I played VTCA for many years at Parkville District and whilst the standard is better our comp is unique and its a great comp. I love that we finish once one team has won most of the time and that you get to play in a close vicinity to your...

T Thanks Rooboy....a few heated words said between me and a couple of St Marys players....guess the old days of whats said on the field is left there are over.....but if they are that offended I apologise, i've tried to be conscious to just play the game this year and not worry about the other...

Its what happened!! Like I said it worked out for the best, it forced us to rebuild and we had a pretty strong team over a number of years. East Coburg are going down the right path though playing kids and in time that will reap benefits for them as they rebuild also

I find that pretty amusing rooboy....I seem to remember many years ago East Coburg taking half of West Coburg's A grade side in the middle of the season effectively decimating West Coburg. The following year we had no choice but to rebuild and went down to B grade. Long term it has definitely...

I tend to agree that its been a very unusual season with only 2 out of 9 days cricket played this season so far. Assuming that this game is called off also that will mean another split 2 day game after xmas meaning we may play only 1 or at best 2 2day cricket games before the finals are played...

Saw one of the best acts of good sportsmanship I can remember for a long time on the weekend. In a very tense tight run chase Dom from pacco called a short run off one of his teammates right at an important time. Reminded us all how cricket needs to be. Well done mate, top class effort and...

Not sure if thats right....apparently it says in the rulebook that if you dont play 20overs on day 1 it becomes a one dayer....as was the case in our game against pacco

Re: MMVCA General Cricket Chat 2010/11 I am coaching at Wests this year. We finished 2nd or 3rd last last year from memory and the main thing we are looking for is to gain respect back in this comp and to give a better account of ourselves in every game. Should be a even and tough...

Re: MMVCA General Cricket Chat 2010/11 One team to watch are Socials this year some very good recruits with fitzy,pitts,gibbard and vernon to compliment the likes of toll and kite will be hard to beat!!! Today 01:04 gee if socials have those quality players back and maybe pick up...

Re: MMVCA General Cricket Chat 2009/10 Congratulations to Glenroy on winning the flag. Deserved winners, and silences all the critics from last year by actually winning the granny. Well done to the West Coburg 1 dayers who won our first flag for a long time, particulary Limpy, was great to...

Re: MMVCA General Cricket Chat 2009/10 just shows the importance of always trying to play positive cricket, gotta back yourself If I was captain of merlo id be batting 20 overs as an absolute max and then have a crack at rolling Glenroy. But, just cant see Glenroy folding and losing...

Re: MMVCA General Cricket Chat 2009/10 lol

Re: MMVCA General Cricket Chat 2009/10 He made 30?! and batted 70 odd overs Obviously an unbelievably self disciplined innings. Im guessing the strategy was bat and bat and bat and deny glenroy the chance to win this weekend and then do a raindance all week. Apparently, they are forecasting...

Re: MMVCA General Cricket Chat 2009/10 Hahaha You blokes are clowns even contributers?!?! You have 2-3 really outstanding performers at this level and the rest are cats And you think other sides dont have great team spirit, give me a spell. You like to make out your humble, but...

Re: MMVCA General Cricket Chat 2009/10 Might wanna change your nic there mate. So is it 3 or 7 gun players? Ive had a gutful of St Andrews players on this site talking themselves up like they always do. The more I think about it they wont make the top 4 this year. Their best players are...

Re: MMVCA General Cricket Chat 2009/10 Just an opinion. glenroy could easily finish top 4 again. Just not convinced about the depth of their batting, other than the two openers Youre right though MMVCA, they'll probably slip into St Marys spot hahaha
