Re: City of Moorabbin Cricket Association 09/10

Now Now girls,

You are missing the point Merl reports on games he has never seen it is just a bit of fun and those on the spot can give us a bit more insight.

Burgs I might just take up your offer but I could have the dark glasses and trench coat on.

Pdog you are getting into dangerous ground agreeing with the former leader who correct me if I am wrong was the one who wanted to provide his wisdom to us on how he was able to tip all the winners which have suddenly disappeared.

School teaching was never my game and you were warn that if you wanted to be in the BTC I would make up the rules as I go.I didn't want a PM on all 12 games 1 was sufficient as I wanted a bit more than BCFer's just sticking their tips in and giving us nothing else!

Most footy tipping competitions have a penalty for late entries and Sugar hasn't moaned about his penalty which could increased or decreased after I see if the judge has provided the goods on youtube.

If you don't like it take your bat & ball to Mordialloc Beach!!!


A classic example is the oasisless Bottys breaking the big news of browny returning to the millionaires and playing havoc with the TPP which is the sort of stuff we want to hear.

On the other hand Vinnie has given us nothing yet on the Mick Smith Cup or how Slim and mate have pulled up after the big bet and whether B needs an appointment with the bank manager to pay off the night of festivities.

Lighten up I have said it many times I am on here for a bit of fun!!

until next time................. vino sipping poster................ Merlot

Professor Merlot. It seems the students of your fine tipping comp don't like being lectured. Wise are you to have picked up on the fact that one student in particular was the same individual who asked that you allow for post mortems and match reviews, yet when threatened with a sanction for failing to do so, accuses the system of becoming farcical. How quickly we forget....? I guess there are always those who like to have their cake and eat it too (no pun intended).

Bottsy's scoop is growing legs. My sources tell me Brown is yet to play enough games in the District competition to make him ineligible for CMCA cricket. With Brown back and more games from The Panther & Mohr the new Wallet Park are looking ominous.
 
Re: City of Moorabbin Cricket Association 09/10

I am hearing plenty about the return of S. Brown also. Will make West Bentleigh quite formidable, and I'm grateful that ANA has already played them and collected the 6 points.

As for my penalty point, it's absolutely justified, and I will say that accepting the umpire's decision is important... something that a lot of cricketer's these days seem to have forgotten.

Cannot supply PM as no CMCA cricket for Jimmy over last month but fair to say this is a great round of matches in Longy and the cat has well and truly been set amongst the pigeons in the BRC, lots of 12 point games there. Have tipped a couple of upsets and if The Hoops cannot overcome East their form against the upper echelon may condemn them to mediocrity for 2010.
Don't think playing Premier stops SB coming back to CMCA but seem to remember once you have played a game of Premier twos you might need permit approval.

Merl my apologies, and you're not the first one in telling me that I give you nothing!
On the Mike Smith Cup Day, it was indeed the last one and after 8 years of decent weather, the last one was marred by rain,but thankfully it didn't ruin another fantastic day at the club. As Sugar pointed out the young Omega side captained by Glen 'Boomer' Beckett beat the combined Richmond/St Kilda side. As usual it was magnificently supported by a host of CMCA clubs.

Moving on to last weekends games and it was a brilliant performance all round by the Omega's 1st XI, the bowlers played their part and the fielders have restored the clubs reputation as the best fielding side in the comp with another 3 run outs (12 for the year). The batting continues to improve, led again by the dangerous Malane and the genius of Ryan and Ferguson.
The 'bet' didn't eventuate due to B's Christmas party that night, but both brothers and Slim were the last to leave Mike Smith Cup night in the wee hours of the morning!

It was a different story for the Omega 2's where we suffered successive losses. Defending 117 was never going to be easy against the undefeated Westars, but the boys didn't let up at any stage and made Bottsy's mob work hard for the runs. Another 30-40 runs would've made things interesting.
Crunch game for the Ommers Wooly side this week as it faces ANA at King George in a 12 point game.

Re: City of Moorabbin Cricket Association 09/10

Merl I am captain of our 3's so hopefully will not b needed too often in Nuff nuff. May make my PM's a bit away e.g thinking Sugar was in the 2's!

ANA batted well v BDCC were poor. On paper we have a good bowling line-up but seem to either rout teams or go for a few... The agressive battign of ANA worked well & Campbell again showed his class in this grade. Our batting has lacked depth & ANA had this game won in the 1st hr of day 2 with a series of ducks leavign us 8/50. Well played ANA...

I recount this story 2nd hand as I wasn't playing but it seems pretty poor and dare I say perfectly in character..

BDCC off spinner bowling over the wkt, batsmen tries to turn it to fine leg & gets leading edge back to the bowler on the off side of the pitch. somehow the non striker finds a way to get tangled up with the bowler in a way to prevent him reaching the ball... appeal for obstructing the field given not out (possibly as the ump was unaware the rule existed)

What's your decision?

also if u want to walk singles once u get to 20 then a sledge of 'Arjuna' is fair enough I reckon...

Nothing like a bit of controversy! For the purpose of the sledge it sounds quite reasonable, however should there have been physical similarities to the former Sri Lankan captain it may have caused the individual to take offence. Unfortunately we live in an oversensitive society these days, Saul.

Care to elaborate on the person whose 'perfectly in character' incident you speak of? Our man on the spot Dave Carroll would surely know the rules precluding any individual from unsportsman like conduct (particularly obstructing the field) - which in this case seems quite blatant given the non-striker has managed to find himself on the opposite side of the wicket from whence he began.

And got it, Keithy.

Pretty sweet victory. UM had never played in a win over the Jellynoughts. Absolute cracking game which saw us almost snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. A few moments of panic from us towards the end and their experience holding sway made it a last gasp win. Both sides probably felt hard done by on occasions over the 2 weeks, but at the end of the day a great game with the result coming off the 2nd last ball.
Good to see the Longy boys all there forming their own can hill and adding a bit of atmosphere after polishing off Kingston Heath early. Even better to see them come over and have a beer with us afterwards.

agreed ! about the only team that does it...

fancey yourself any chance this week against cluden.?
 
Re: City of Moorabbin Cricket Association 09/10

Fancy ourselves against anyone, Keithy. On our day, I reckon were as good as any side in the comp - as results from the past 2 seasons would suggest. Unfortunately, when we catch like we did in the first month of this season it makes it very difficult to make an impact on the W column.
 
Re: City of Moorabbin Cricket Association 09/10

Uncle Mick,

A busy day of posting for you today and I could see myself as Professor Merl with a doctorate in cricketeology!

Not sure that Dave would be too interested in getting involved in any argy bargy would be more at home into knocking back an LBW.

No homework handed in from one of the pupils yet may lose marks for being late!

Maybe you can explain better than I can that this is a forum and we would like a bit more from contributors.These lame excuses that people don't have enough time just doesn't wash.PM's don't have to be factual most of Merl's aren't they are a just a bit of side light fun.

Vinne,

Thanks for the feedback and about time you got off the rear and gave us something.Keep us informed of when slim will collect.


Saul & Jimmy

Please note the above about the PM's as what you both wrote were PM's and you were no where near either game.

Saul just where is Stacy going to end up?


Sugar

Uncle Mick turning me into a professor and you turning me into an umpire making decisions.Not sure that Merl is cut out to be an aqua blue even though he has been accused of being one on this very forum!!!

Just finished viewing the fortnightly dose of the highly rated ANA youtube show over 3 screens this time.Bitterly disappointed that the judge didn't get the big bertha out and tee off on the tribunal as promised.Won't deduct any extra points from you as it may upset you know who!!

Jimmy

I am nearly considering revealing my identity in the unlikely event that the MJFWS tribunal section is brought up to date as promised instead of being 3 years out of date and no current matters listed!!

But why would I expose the mystery that is Merlot over such a trivial matter!!



Anyway have a bit of fun post a post lighten up don't take yourself too seriously it is a forum and as long as we stay within the rules which most of us seem to have been doing we will air our views on the great game of cricket

Re: City of Moorabbin Cricket Association 09/10

Here i am lads and i will give you my best of what i have to offer.

Crunch game it was for the Units against Elwood & so often the case when C.Manakis does not get the runs Uniting struggle unfortunately. Alot of starts by young players Backman, McConville & thiedeman but did not kick on.
Chubbs brilliant again as was bunting Uniting seem to be a strike bowler short as to much is up to Surridge.
Interestingf situation running into the old team mates at a well known Richmond pub with my new team mates.
Big Brud's snaffled a 5 wicket haul well done to Allan, regular run scorers Malane, Krotofil, Duddy & Finny featuring again & the youth policy seems to be working at King George with the youngsters in Longy starting to hit some big scores.
Left arm bowlers getting the bags Surridge, Jenkin and Cmca's Paul Adams getting 3 fa.
That's all i have for now :), big B'day wish to Luke Manders who turned 18 on monday......yes he is only 18 seems unreal.:D

Hey Bonus, i hear your boys are leaving the VTCA and putting all your sides in the CMCA, any truth in that ?. At the moment your South Seconds side is a joke and isn't doing your club any favours.
 
Re: City of Moorabbin Cricket Association 09/10

REPORT CARD:

Juggernaut:Doing what is required to win without much fuss and fan fare despite the loss of a few players.Still unable to beat Mackie which will give some opposition clubs some confidence. The replacements seem to be acquiting themselves very well and they are beginning to look their intimidating best.Once again they will grab top spot, and ensure that should it rain on Grand Final day they will be well placed to claim another flag. They have a chance to 'gut' the Hoops this week and possibly seriously dent their confidence for good.
Run Home: Hoops,Elwood,Uniting,West Bentleigh,Washups
Rating:9/10:

Hoops: Failed again playing a prospective finalist.No doubt they are a good team on paper, but they have crumbled when placed under the slightest pressure by strong opposition.No doubt they will continue to bully and intimidate the weaker teams as the season progresses, but the clock is ticking and they will soon have to stand up and show everyone that they do not (figuratively speaking) have a glass jaw.
Run Home:Juggernaut,WashUps,ANA,Carnegie South, Le Page.

Rating: 6/10


West Bentleigh:Started slowly and are now gathering some momentum. A question mark against good spin bowling If rumours are true their jigsaw may be finally in place with the return of Brown. If the latter is true then they must be flag favourites assuming it does not rain again.
Run Home:Uniting,Omega,Washington Park,Juggeranut,Carnegie South.:eek:

Rating: 7/10
Mackie: As we approach the festive season it appears Mackie is once again falling into their bad habits.They rely on Buddha to make their runs and it is time for a few others to put up their hand.Losses to West Bentleigh and Omega,and a tough match up against Elwood who seem to be a bogey side for Mackie in the past few years. Whilst their run home is quite good, Mackie seem to find ways to lose matches that prospective finals teams are expected to win.Once again their destiny is in their own hands with a top 2 spot beckoning.
Run Home: Le Page,Kingston Heath,Carnegie South,ANA,Elwood.

Rating:7/10

Omega:Started pre season early and have really shown a huge improvement in the ongoing development with their kids.They seem to have belief and have backed up their belief whispered last season, 'they know we are coming' and are now delivering. They will cause a lot of teams problems and could be outsiders to pinch a spot.
This week is a vital match and Omega's exceptional fielding will give them an advantage.
Run Home:ANA,West Bentleigh,Le Page,Elwood,Uniting.

Rating:7/10

Bentleigh Uniting: A mixed bag from Uniting and expected a little more from their enormous depth. They have not been able to get their best team on the field due to unavailability, and they have demonstrated that their batting line up can make runs when they apply themselves.They must defeat either West Bentleigh or the juggernaut and not lose the other three matches to have any chance to make the finals.

Run Home:West Bentleigh, Carnegie South,Juggernaut,Washups, Omega.:mad:

Rating:4/10

Bentleigh ANA:Similiar to Uniting, ANA have chopped and changed their team due to unavailability but still have an outside chance of making the finals thanks to their kids and their skipper as well as a rejuvenated Sugar who seems to be finding his second wind with respect to his career. Coming off consecutive 300+ scores they have a lot of confidence, however their fielding leaves a lot to be desired and this has definetely cost them one or possibly two games this season. If they win this match then they are back in the hunt, and will have to beat either the Hoops or Mackie or both to ensure a finals spot.
Run Home: Omega, Le Page,Hoops,Mackie,Kingston Heath.

Rating:5/10

Elwood:Lost their best batsman during the pre season, and had to endure all of the speculation whether their other great player would go or stay.They suffered a defeat at the hands of Carnegie South in Round 1 and everyone was ready to write them off. They then strung three consecutive wins, sacked their coach and a workman like win over Uniting.Despite relying upon Bunting they seem to be doing the job and are serious contenders for a finals spot. Their round 11 match could be an interesting encounter with a lot at stake perhaps for both teams.

Run Home:Washups,Juggernaut,Kingston Heath,Omega,Mackie:
Rating:8/10

Le Page:They would be the first to admit that they have probably taken a backwards step this season and losing their opening strike bowler to Dandenong did not help their cause . They are a good team on their day and will again cause a few upsets as the season reaches its conclusion.McConchie is having another stellar season averaging 52, but not enough support from the rest who were performing last season. The Panthers made a spirited run home last season and I would not be surprised if they provided an encore this season.

Run Home: Mackie,ANA,Omega,Kingston Heath,Hoops.
Rating:3/10

Carnegie South: In their 4th year at the top grade, their only accomplishment has been to avoid relegation.They lack depth and are extremely inconsistent.Some of their match winners just fail to produce consistently.They seem to be content to just play in Longy and celebrate to odd win.They are averaging 155 runs with the bat with a high score of 227 and their lowest score of 117. They will struggle in the next few years as some of their veterans start to hang up the boots or just fall away.Some of their promising juniors will no doubt head off to turf competitions.Bruce Haley has done as much as he can with this team and it might be time look for better options.Without doubt there would be a few clubs chasing his services and from I hear he would not have too far to travel from his current ground.
Run Home:Kingston Heath,Uniting,Mackie, Hoops,West Bentleigh:

Rating:3/10
Kingston Heath: Despite all of the optimism at the start of the year their 20th year has been a difficult one, with a baptism of fire none were expecting or prepared.
They have really struggled with the loss of players and all they can do is continue to try and hope it turns for them.If they can manage a victory it will ensure an interesting end to the season as they battle for Longmuir status with the hapless Washups.
Run Home:Carnegie South, Mackie,Elwood,Le Page,ANA.
Rating: 1/10

Washington Park:Totally dispirited, rudderless and Xmas cannot come quick enough for everyone at Shark Park. They have a lot of good kids who have been thrown in at the deep end when they are clearly not ready.I would like to see their skipper coming in down the order to give their middle order some spine and where he could help some of the younger ones.Their bowling attack has been benign and has rarely threatened to cut through any teams top order.They have a nightmare run home against teams which will be trying to secure a top two position or a finals spot and it could become quite ugly for them. They need to take heart from Omega's past few years and keep perservering.

Re: City of Moorabbin Cricket Association 09/10

Brighton Districts are weighing up their options on whether or not to go all CMCA sides, remain the same with part turf / part synthetic or go similiar but change from the VTCA to the Mercantile CA for their turf teams.
On the Stacey Brown rumour heard he might be heading back to his original club too. Saully? These are just some things I heard at the pub last night whilst I was bashing in my 10th pot!

Sledge or BPMG,
Is there any reason for such a drastic decision? Didn't Brighton Church of Christ(always loved that name) merge because their money ran out plus they were struggling to attract players? I can't see how moving to the CMCA would change anything.You would end up losing all your good players who want to play turf and god forbid play for Hampton or others.
 
Re: City of Moorabbin Cricket Association 09/10

WOOLNOUGH

Moorabbin West:
The West Stars have not put a foot wrong and waived off all challengers even without the services of their poster boy.They find themselves in a strong position and possibly decide from afar who does and does not compete in the finals.Hmmm that would never happen but an interesting thought.Unbackable to win the flag.

Run Home:Hampton Central,Highett West,Cluden,ANA,Aspendale.

Rating 10/10.Odds on flag favourites.

Juggernaut

A season unprecedented in the annals of the Juggernaut; on the bottom and staring at C Grade. Recent performances have been very encouraging, and whilst finals are gone, they will win a few games after Xmas.
Run Home:Hoops,Aspendale,Uniting,Hampton United,Brighton District.
Rating:2/10

Hoops
A gripping tie and a few losses put pressure on the hoops. They followed up with a couple of wins which has steadied the ship.Now perched just outside the four, but have a tough run home which will test their depth and resolve. They did it last season despite their injuries but do they have the hunger for a repeat effort? It really depends whether some of the spots in the firsts are there for the taking or whether it is a closed shop.I would hope the former applies and they should start sending the message to some of their Longy players that poor performances will result in demotion to Woolnough.
Run Home:Juggernaut, Brighton District,ANA,Cluden, Hampton Central

Rating: 6/10

Omega

A tie first up followed by three consecutive wins suggested that Omega was on the march and would be thereabouts at the end of the season.Successive losses have put the wobbles and seed of doubt that they may repeat last seasons collapse.A loss in this match will definitely leave them with some work to do and some difficult matches to look forward to.
Run Home:ANA,Hampton United,Hampton Central,Aspendale,Uniting.
Rating:6/10

Bentleigh Uniting
The maroons have let me down this season as I really rated their chances of surprising a few of the top teams.They simply cannot afford to drop another game to have an outside chance of playing finals.They have made some impressive scores but have been let down with their bowling stocks which have been depleted.

Run Home:Hampton United,Cluden,Juggernaut,Brighton District,Omega.

Rating:4/10

Bentleigh ANA

The surprise packet of the competition this season.Despite the loss of experienced players ANA continue to play the kids along with a selection of veterans who are prepared to put up their hand and take up the challenge. Overall a very impressive effort so far, but a lot of hard work ahead with some huge challenges. If they can get some of their players back then selectors will have some serious thinking to do.Exactly the position a club wants to be in.Playing finals in Woolnough would fast track a number of the kids and give that valuable experience.

Run Home:Omega,Hampton United,Hoops,Moorabbin West,Highett West.

Rating:7/10

Hampton Central

Run Home:Moorabbin West,ANA,Omega,Highett West,Hoops.

Surprisingly clinging to 4th spot and some huge matches ahead. I confess to being surprised and somewhat disappointed.For a team that boasts the players it has three wins including an outright result against Hampton United seems to be a meager return. They will have to work hard to ensure that they are part of the finals this season as a few more losses will put them out of reach and it could become calamitous for the club.

Hampton United

Run Home:Uniting,Omega,Brighton District,Juggernaught,Cluden.

Yes they do rely on two players, but they did last season and nearly made the finals. One year later and the wheels have well and truly fallen off.Their fielding is abysmal as is their application with their batting. They desperately need an influx of players or it is all over in Woolnough and one suspects they could be in the wilderness for quite some time.

Rating:1/10.


Brighton District:

After their second win the folk from Brighton Central were talking up their chances, despite my pre season selection that they would be playing C grade next season. All the excitement has evaporated and they are still looking over their shoulder. God forbid Hampton United don't get their act together in their clash after Xmas because then who knows? I think they have done enough to survive this season and apparently have other issues to ponder in the coming months.

Rating: 3/0


Run Home:Aspendale,Hoops,Hampton United,Uniting,Juggernaught.

Cluden

The real deal continue to march on in defiance of everyone's skepticism.A loss in the first game of the season being their only glitch but since they have met every challenge head on and got out of jail a few times.An interesting run home will with a couple of testing matches, but they have done everything asked of them to date and should secure second spot.

Run Home:Highett West, Bentleigh Uniting,Morrabbin West, Hoops,Hampton United.

Aspendale/Edithvale
The lads came out swinging and quickly acquired a 3-0 record.All were reminded that they did in fact win the flag a few years ago. Since then they have lost their last three games and their batting has been nothing short of abysmal .They have run out of steam and definitely looking forward to the XMAS break.They need to find their form this match in what could be a season defining moment.

Highett West

A new ground greeted the Kookaburras for the start of the season, something akin to the Oasis but not just the same.Unfortunately the Kookas spent their first two matches admiring their new surrounds and forgot that the season had started. They stand at 3/3 and face to face with the 'real deal' in Cluden.Should be an interesting encounter in that the Kookas batting seems to have come to life and they are now chasing scores at will, compared to earlier in the season when they all cheered the errant bye or no ball.They made the finals last season but it left it very late, and it seems history is repeating itself.Uncle Mick has often bemoaned the poor fielding and this has to be rectified otherwise they could cost themselves a finals spot.No doubt they boast a formidable batting line up, and on their day they can serve it up to any team. Now is the time to stand up and be counted if they want to participate in finals.
