CMCA- Ommies to remain in top grade

Re: CMCA- Ommies to remain in top grade

i'm surprised the ball popped out after hitting stuey"lard ass"campbell in the guts, he fit in well at mackie with the rest of the fat boys there, pitty he left.
Manders went off to district cricket, doubt he'll be back for sandy. maybe martyn will turn up or duddy.
looking forward to the match ana v sandy. sure to be ripper.
Best spinner in comp LD or LEE. LD for me.

Captain,

Some interesting comments there young fella, how's your weight these days?
Best spinner in the comp is AL BY A MILE, he's got a well balanced action and has been on the verge for a number of years.
Remember, he plays half his games at the George, fairly good effort on that size ground to keep picking up bagfuls.
As fas as LD goes, great contibutor, good alround cricketer, but as a spinner, well the old question will still remain Does he c...k it?

Re: CMCA- Ommies to remain in top grade

Manders wouldn't be a bad guess. He loves his keyboard. On him, I spoke to him last week and he's already "homesick" and contemplating a return to East. I'd be very surprised if Duddy plays this game or the next. Martyn is out til at least Xmas - perhaps waiting to see whether this infamous bandwagon is worth jumping on.

LD has the score on the board for mine. Suspect action or not, he's proven himself time & time again. Not sure too many could've turned the semi final the way he did last season.

Surely 'billy the kid' manders cant be flying the white flag so soon, even stacy 'the man' brown is giving the premier league a go. If billy was homesick, shouldn't his home be another 15km down the highway?

From what i saw, Harry turned the game with far greater effect than LD. As previously mentioned, you and willo did a bit of game turning the week before.

On the never ending subject of LD's action, it's pretty straight forward. His stock ball is bowled with a legitimate action. It's the quicker one that he chucks and lets face it, if the umps struggle to get the usual decisions right, how on earth are they gonna pick him up for chucking the odd one ???

TIPS
ROUND 2 October 18 & 25
West Bentleigh V ELWOOD - Woods batting to be too strong
BRIGHTON UNION V Omega - Union to bounce back hard
Le Page Park V WASHINGTON PARK - Sharks should get a win on the board
East Sand. BC V BENTLEIGH ANA - Hangover/Decline to begin at the zoo
Mackie V HAMPTON CENTRAL - Preliminary Final rematch with same result
CARNEGIE SOUTH V Bentleigh Uniting - Not really an upset. BUCC are gone

west bent to beat elwood
union to win
sharks
esbc
mackie
bucc

we'll see come end of rnd 2 who's the best spinner, maybe it will be Kim Pitt or Biggy Phelan. ANA have some v/good bats it will be a test a against comps best bowling line up.

i don't think anyone wants stacey to come back to the cmca he's a jerk.

Re: CMCA- Ommies to remain in top grade

It's an interesting one. Even he admits it's suspect - might've taken him a few years and a couple of beers to finally own up.....

I'm curious as to how Harry turned it...? If you're talking Cam's LBW, a little biased I may be as the bowler, but it was definitely going on to hit them. Right shot for the length, but the ball skidded through.
"Willo" & I were playing Bentleigh Uniting the week before. As a participant in the game (or at least a Centrals supporter) you might remember that the game was played over 1 weekend.

Should be another good round of results if the form line of 1 round is anything to go by.
Le Page will struggle to win a game this year. Wash Ups should be too strong.
East Sandy get Devereaux, Wilson and Dallas (for both weeks) back. That should be enough to get them home against ANA who could potentially be the big improvers from last season's results.
Union should take to the inexperienced Omega attack.
Elwood & WB should be a ripping contest. If the elder brothers Reid can get in on the action they'll go a long way to winning. Probably Elwood in a toss of the coin.
Centrals are a little depleted and I'm assuming the eyebrows of Ash Bott will be making a return for Mackie to help get them up.
Carnegie at home to prove the one-day win last year was no fluke. I reckon G.Gallagher is an underrated bowler.

You're kidding aren't you mate? He chucks every ball. But if Murali can get away with it then so can LD. They either both chuck it or neither of them do.

Harry turning the game? Stop your whinging. We beat you twice in three weeks. You can't beat us, especially in finals time. But on the topic of turning games, good spin bowlers, and beating Hampton Central in finals, what about when LD was first thrown the ball by ex-Captain, Cull, and he turned the game and was the key factor in rolling Centrals for not much more than 100 in the 02/03 GF. His first ball he had Denver Artz shoulding arms only to be given LBW. Magical day.

As for this week, Devereaux will be back this and perhaps Wilson as Uncle Mick said. Duddy will be another few weeks away. No point rushing the big fella back especially when it's his groin giving him problems and they can go on for a while. Wouldn't be surprised if he didn't take the gloves straight back when he eventually does return. Martyn won't be there before Christmas, if at all. Another groin complication and with no hurry to get back into it all. Manders could be back sooner than expected. Nothing to do with throwing in the towel or holding up the white flag. Just got a few reasons and is thinking of maybe returning to the zoo.

Re: CMCA- Ommies to remain in top grade

Maybe, Manders .... Washington Park will struggle.(again)

Please stop getting stuck into us mate. We're giving it our best and need all the confidence and momentum we can gain. You're constant ridicule isn't helping our cause and it would be much appreciated if you could stop all the negative slander.

LE PAGE TO SHIVER AGAINST THE SHARKS!

Re: CMCA- Ommies to remain in top grade

the wash ups are the NO GOOD. they will not play finals.
union need bowlers or they'll get nowhere, unless they make 500.
west bent rely on reid bros. rest are shite.
hamp cent. may is over bowled no wonder he gets wickets he bowls 35 over 5/120, no use making finals if you can't compete.
east sandy should retain flag. there will be some close encounters with other top sides.
ana need to play when the going gets tough, not sook when it rains and look like losing. step up to the plate and have a crack. its about time.
lets face it carngie, lepage, elwood, omega and uniting arent up to it
and mackie are to top heavy, too many fatties.

Couldn't be more true. In twice in the last 2-3 years against East Sandy they've whinged, pissed and moaned about getting off the field as soon as it looks like raining and they've never been out of the game. They have to be more aggresive and have a crack as you say instead of being the piss weak side that they currently are.

Re: CMCA- Ommies to remain in top grade

Even though Pothitos top scored with 84no, Delac didn't exactly fail as a leader. He made 62, and kept Union in the game up to tea, until he went out in rough circumstances, when he smashed one into Stuey Campbell's guts at silly point. It popped straight up for Stuey to complete an easy one in the end, and then it was tea time.

There is no doubt that Union's strength is their batting. They are more likely to hold their nerve than their bowlers at crunch time, so you can't go too hard on them. Obviously this would have been part of Ivan's thinking.

They were 6/302 with 5 overs to go, and should have won if not for sheer persistence by the ANA boys.

Speaking of strength, you know what isn't strong? The ANA cricket show on youtube. In fact, it's absolutely terrible, laughable, a joke, embarrassing to watch, cringe-worthy. I feel sorry for the two blokes that have to put there mugs in front of the camera and own up to producing that shit! Please give it a rest you ANA sucks.

Re: CMCA- Ommies to remain in top grade

Like it or loathe it... the ANA Cricket Show will return this week with episode 3. Now that the season has started there will be some content to finally talk about!

 

[Uncle Mick]

Re: CMCA- Ommies to remain in top grade

Clearly "The Captain" is an East Sandy man. Seems to be a few of them dominating the alias game.
Hahahaha..... As far as the "ANA Show" goes, I didn't think it was all that bad. Agree the suits were a bit over the top. There's no harm in promoting the local game though. Good on 'em for sticking their neck out. From humble beginnings.....

Happened to pop down to East Sandy last night and Luke Manders was rolling the arm over. Didn't stick around to ask questions, but given the conversation I had with him last week, I'd expect he'll be playing this week. With Cheeks & B.Smith back as additions to last year's Premiership side, I can't see anyone getting near them. They may have a hiccup along the way, but they'd have to be clear favourites to go back to back.

Well we definitely don't like it!
But as FrequentFourFlayer said it's a bit like a car crash, you don't want to be apart of it and it's unforunate to watch but gee wiz it's good for a laugh!
I reckon the other bloke (not the Hutchy look-a-like) is trying to pull off some Sam Newmanisms too. (He's no good at it either.) Can't wait for episode 3.....

Re: CMCA- Ommies to remain in top grade

i think FFF was a bit harsh about the cricket show..it might not pull the chicks but im sure that mikkelson fella would be beating them off with a stick anyway. its good to see the boys promoting the game and i enjoyed watching it.
dont worry about the people who make fun boys, keep it up!

I think Harry has been covered before as well. If he did such a great job, then why did he get his marching orders? It takes quite a few BIG mistakes for the CMCA to sack a SF ump for the rest of the finals. I reckon the one to Cam pitched outside leg and Charlie's was farcical.

The bandwagon seems a bit unsettled with all the ins and outs and i would expect the ANA boys to have a win this fortnight. It has taken seven years and one round but the wheels are very very loose. Like the Lehmann Bros in the USA, powerful for so long and suddenly CRASH!
