The minute you start releasing grounds, and changing the duration of the season, you open up a bigger can of worms than have ever existed. If we reserve the right for grounds for only 4 months of the year, as opposed to 6 months - you've already lost ALL grounds for a third of what we had them for.

What happens when the water levels finally get back on track in say 5 years time, and we ask the competition & council for 6 months of the year again? FAT CHANCE.

The councils will not be giving the grounds back - GUARANTEED. And the competition will suffer because the not so die-hard cricketers will have found other ways to keep themselves entertained in the summer.

End result - less players & less ground availability. This in NO WAY makes the competition stronger.

Well put Sugar and quite correct.The only problem is that term public servants love OH&S.They can pull that out anytime and very little anyone or club can do about it, since the councils control the grounds.You will also begin to see some of the schools starting to knock back grounds.From what I saw on the weekend there are a lot players who are wearing nice bruises.

Anyway, anyone know the story is down at West Bentleigh? Got a msg from Hawker on the weekend and he's given the game away. And Ant Reid is yet to front up. Married and a kid in the off season, he might've understandably chosen to focus on the family life. Without Stacey that's 3 huge losses. Wheels may fall off pretty quick at Victory Park.

Dont worry Mick after a massive backyard cicket test series on the weekend hawk has rediscovered his passion for the game and will return shortly!

Ant Reid is a possible starter in the coming weeks!

Stacey is stacey, he'll play wherever he gets to do what he likes until the going gets too tough! as long as people around him are prepared to hear how good he is!

I noticed it's customised to Le Page Park, Nick. Having withdrawals about leaving the Panthers, old boy?

Thanks, Bunt. Will do. Might shoot through a response on the quality of these new balls too as per your request on the radio y'day.
Our E Grade side had their's split in the 13th over. It's no coincidence that both games we've had balls fail to last were at Peterson St. A combination of our deck and the durability of the balls, I'd suggest. The deck is overdue for resurfacing, but the whole ground has been tendered and as far as we're aware we weren't going to have access to it from Rd.1 - hence not bothering to get a new one yet. Still not convinced of the balls though.

Ground conditions must have a huge bearing on the pills. At Southside's ground the cherry was in great nick at end of both days (looked 25 overs old), but the ground was in good shape. When we first went to 4 piece there was a heap of trouble early on with thembut they settled down after the first season, hope this is the same for you older swing bowlers!!!
By the way, it looks like the ladders work going on Burgers link so it must just be the link from the CMCA site to the CV site that is screwed.
 
Re: CMCA- Ommies to remain in top grade

This is a better link to the same site burger put up: minus the Le page park bias.
Also has the missing grades too.

Hey Nathan,

Congrats on your start and the teams start to the year, once that excess bagage left to go down the highway i think some of you young guys have stepped up very nicely for your club.

What do you credit your recent form to, did the trip overseas help with the cricket in the UK.

And will there be any appearances from the PHILLIP boys.

Good luck this week i hope you get another century
 
Re: CMCA- Ommies to remain in top grade

The Bentleigh ANA Cricket Show will be posted tomorrow morning.

This episode will have a different look and feel about it - stay tuned.

it certainly didn't do me any harm. just been practising heaps and trying to keep my concentration. just playing proper shots to every ball.
as for simon and chris, i dunno. haven't seen them but obviously they would be handy inclusions. but we'll just keep on going not expecting them but if they did want to come and play i'm sure we'd welcome them. they're some talented blokes.
thanks for the wishes and good luck to you too!

There are plenty of blokes who are fans of Mossy... particularly the ones who abuse him after he gives them out LBW or run out, yet don't get reported by him because he's too nice a bloke.

One club in particular continues to get away with murder when it comes to abusing umpires.

Bit rich coming from you Sugar considering your little outburst when you were given out on the weekend.

Here he is... East Sandy's club mascot!

Agreed Marto, fair point regarding glass houses etc. My initial reaction was poor... batting at least a foot outside the crease gave me the impression that an LBW would have been cancelled out, however I immediately retracted before I crossed the line and took the dismissal quietly. Nothing in comparison to the run out complaint the week before, where plenty of expletives were thrown out.

Had a couple of beers with Mossy afterwards to discuss both 'incidents'.

If East Sandy win the flag this year, are you going to be sitting front centre for the photo with your legs crossed?

Standing on the boundary at point when it happened i can tell you you weren't that far down the wicket. When i saw you whinging i asked Corpy (was fielding on the boundary on alternate overs) why you might have been cos i thought maybe you got an inside edge or something. But too far down the wicket, that's a joke. I don't know, doesn't bother me, i just found it humerous considering what you had written on here only days earlier.

What's with the mascot joke Sugar? I don't understand. Care to elaborate....?
 
Re: CMCA- Ommies to remain in top grade

Please list the best individual or team performances over the last 5-10 years in Longmuir shield. Big scores, heaps of wickets, chasing down a huge score, defending nothing etc.
Let's get some more healthy debate on this site.

good to see u making runs nath i was going to ask about england aswell but more along the lines of how u went with the ladies.. did u get a few away or what? looks like throwing the arm/leg over in the uk has helped ur confidence alot and u seem to be smashing them..just dont forget to use protection, u never know who ull come up against!

when do u guys play east sandy? looks like if u and bunting keep making runs it will be pretty hard for them to stop u guys. if u guys played them this week then i dont think theres any doubt u guys would win given the form over the 1st couple of games
