CMCA- Ommies to remain in top grade

Re: CMCA- Ommies to remain in top grade

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?

i would say that if the umpire makes a bad call then its the players right..no duty to give him a good gobful or else how do u learn? no no only joking! i think that lukey by his own admission went a bit far with the expletives.. though it was a poor call given the position he was in - but yes i know it doesnt make it right..

wasnt at the ground this week to see your dismissal sugar so i probly shouldnt comment but i will anyway. i dont think batting outside the crease really matter that much in an umpires mind cos they cant really see where u are batting, they look at whether u played forward/back etc. maybe next time u should subtly let the ump know ur down the track.. i just hope he was in the right position to make the call this time....

Re: CMCA- Ommies to remain in top grade

As Meatloaf said "Two Out Of Three Aint Bad". Personally not my favourite song of his (Paradise By The Dashboard Light is) but that's what they'll be saying about the Sharks after Round 3. Solid win last week against a very average Le Page. Wouldn't be expecting too much from them this year....not that anyone was. And we'll be far too good for the O's this week. Big Delut and Rolled Oats bowled last well last week and i'd expect them to continue along with some scores from a few of our main men (Liam, AJ etc).
As for the rest of the games, who cares. Haha nah;
Sugar's men to get over Elwood - Plenty of pressure on the Woods big 3.
Union to make 400 against Le Page
Mackie to make 450 against Carnegie South
Uniting and Centrals to play a nil all draw
West Bentleigh to give Sandy a wake up call

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.

I'll get the ball rolling at least Alex. For what it's worth.

1. George Goro 263 v ANA, only saw 45 minutes of it and was unbelievable
2. Con Goro 10/66 v Hampton United in tied game (was about 15 years ago)
3. Steve May's ton for MW v Mackie about 1999 blasted a top attack
4. The Prelim final the next week MW v Omega went down to last over Omega won by 2-3 runs
5. Seb Draga's ton for Omega in 1998? GF almost faultless display
6. Jenkin & Bennett's bowling in finals series about 5 years ago (the year they bowled out MW for 27 in GF), too good for park cricket
7. The semi at Omega in 2005/06 that was nearly washed out then Union made 220? in 28 overs and Omega looked gone the whole way but Casey nearly got them up in his last game. Union won by 1-2 runs
8. Finals series since CMCA reverted to normal (72 overs) playing conditions stopping games from being boring defence-fests and making many of them thrillers.
9. Brett Ernst 99 in GF a couple of years ago, perfect captains knock
10. East Sandy comeback on both days in semi against HC in last years finals

No doubt forgotten a couple and it's only an opinion

therefore both should without doubt be included in the team of the decade!!

good effort jimmy. wasnt around for all of these. a highlight in my mind (for obvious reasons) was the granny between union and easts in 03? where sandy were 5/30 chasing 180 and came home to win in the second last over 8 down i think. that was at your ground victory.f.t.v did u happen to see it?

Re: CMCA- Ommies to remain in top grade

After much though i've narrowed my most memorable moments down to six:

1. 01/02 Grand Final - Chasing Omega's misely total of around 120 Sandy struggled. Belly opened the batting to face the last over of day 1 and made 4.
Sandy ended up struggling but passing them 7 down with Biggy Phelan hitting the winning with Pitt down the other end who made about 4 not out and batted for about 15 overs. Great win!

2. 02/03 Grand Final - The game Lukey Dallas arrived. LD chucked down his first delivery after Cully decided to throw to dismiss Denver Artz. Centrals cumbled and we all out for 100. Biggy Phelan (again hitting the winning runs) and Marto then passed them none down. Great win!

3. 03/04 Grand Final - As FrequentFourFlayer mentioned, Sandy were 5/30 chasing Union's 180 and looked in all sorts. Corpy (after just playing a footy practice match) and Duddy came to the crease and put on about 100 or so. Corpy made 60, Dudds 42. They were dismissed which gave Union a chance but it wasn't to be, Pearce (25*) and Barney (35*) finished off the game in style. Great win!

4. 04/05 Grand Final - Sandy made about 200 on a big, slow Hurlingham Park. Always thought they had enough but the Boys Club needed to put in a good performance to make sure of it and that they did. Rolling Moorabbin West for 27. Absolutely unbelievable. Cheeks and Barney taking 4-5 wickets each and one sensational run-out. Cheeks just missing out on a GF hat-trick but Wally Bennett put one down at first slip. Didn't really matter though. Great win!

5. 05/06 Grand Final - Nothing too exciting about this game. Just a regulation Grand Final victory for Sandy over West Bentleigh. Although one major moment was when Michael Flahive's idol (Stacey Brown) dropped Lukey D when Sandy still needed about 30 runs to win and it would have put them 6-7 down. Costly drop. "Stacey dropped Ray!" Hahaha. Great win!

6. 07/08 Grand Final - Last seasons victory. Awesome. Another comeback similar to the semi-final. Centrals were cruising early on in the chase but the constant Sandy pressure brought there downfall. Looked like having a close game for once but again Sandy brought home the chocolates. Was also the arrival of Luke "Billy The Kid" Manders. Great win!

Re: CMCA- Ommies to remain in top grade

06/07 Semi Final - East Sandringham v Bentleigh ANA (played at Kingston Heath)

East Sandy batted first and were looking solid until Andy Lee came in and took 5 wickets, rolling East Sandy for 120. Jason Sherlock & Mark Window gave solid support at the other end. ANA had to bat overnight and were 2/24 overnight with both Adam & Brian Mikkelsen at the crease. The next morning, wickets consistently fell, due to the pressure of Luke Dallas, and at 8 for 90 ANA looked done. However Tim Caterson joined Andrew Stanes, and after some shaky moments, together they got the ANA boys over the line with only 2 wickets to spare.

The win has proven ANA to be the only team to defeat East Sandringham in a finals match since their successful Longmuir Shield run started in season 2001/02.

Hahaha typical response from an ANA loser. Must admit though, i'd do the same thing if i were in your shoes. Fortunately i'm not and we've got 6 flags to smile about. Yes, you got us that day and it was a major disappointment but oh well, Ray's where he belongs now.
Sugar, i have a question for you and it's more relative after watching your final cricket show episode. You (or the other bloke) spoken of Sandy's efforts down the order, having depth, and that being a reason of why we have been successful. Or something along those lines. Do you think maybe that is because even when we are 7, 8 and 9 wickets down we still look to win the game or post a reasonably total. Not to go into our shells. Play positive and aggressive cricket. No matter what the score, always look to win (perhaps the odd necessary exception). Sort of similar to how the Aussies played their cricket. What you and your piss weak team mates did at the end of the game on the weekend was embarrasing. To block it out till the end. Try and just survive. Dot ball after dot ball. It was laughable. You also made mention in your show to Devereaux (you forgot the last E in your Team Of The Round), who was bowling his leggies and is a project of Rocky. That's what he is, a project, and while he can send the odd very nice delivery down, he was certainly dropping 1 or 2 short balls in an over that you could have easily had a crack at and made an effort to reach Sandy's score. Instead you chose to leave the balls short and wide outside off stump. You needed about 100 off 17 overs at one stage i think and then 70-80 off 12 or something. That doesn't require 4's and 6's every ball and with the bowling you were facing you definitely could have done better. Just some advice for you and your mates i reckon Sugar. Play to win and you might actually win. There's certainly plenty of talent at ANA, i just wonder whether you're going about it the right way.

Re: CMCA- Ommies to remain in top grade

Gee... you have every right to boast about your 6 flags, yet after being prompted about great CMCA matches in the last 10 years, we have one good game to crow about, and you won't even allow us that!

You guys are relentless.

Re: CMCA- Ommies to remain in top grade

Sugar, good work on the Cricket show.

I do agree about the echo from inside the rooms but you guys are not exactly the channel 9 cricket show.
Probably no need to give my name a run anymore, i did mention about Coles been a star but everyone knows i said that.
And don't draw any comparisons to Bentleigh Untings 2 first up losses having anything to do with me pal, one player does not make a side.
But keep up the good work by you and Mikko its a great concept just keep mixing it up until you hit 10/10 for now your sitting on a 6/10 a small step back from the first few shows, bring back the suits.

Re: CMCA- Ommies to remain in top grade

Sugar your dedication to your club is commendable but had to pull you up on a mistake. ANA are not the only club to defeat the boys club in a final inthe past 7-8 years. West Bent won the semi by 6 wkts to progress to the gf in their first year in the top flight making the boys club play in their only prelim in that time. West then proceeded to do the right thing and choke in the gf.

9.I saw Chris Manakis smash a chanceless 156* against Moorabbin West one day to equal LS club record about 8 years ago, containing some of the best square drives you will ever see.
Can someone remark on this knock if they seen it.
Can i nominate Chris

No doubt forgotten a couple and it's only an opinion

2. Con Goro 10/66 v Hampton United in tied game (was about 15 years ago so does not make the list)
8. Finals series since CMCA reverted to normal (72 overs) playing conditions stopping games from being boring defence-fests and making many of them thrillers.

Took these 2 out as Goros was over 10 years ago, and the other not what where looking for.
The others are pretty good, no one can disagree with Georges 263 i saw 45 mins of it and it was fantastic.

So we need 2 more

We're not that bad Sugar. I think thserious is just trying to wind you up. Anyway Sug, why am i Sandy's mascot? I don't think i'll be jumping in any photos if i'm not plaing mate. I've already got plenty of those. Just have a look at Uncle Mick's avatar. Can you make mention of the Sandy mascot in your next ANA show? You did it for Big. Come on. Please.....?

bennet smashed 127 in 7 overs and then took a hat trick against west bent maybe 3 years ago.

and the other best thing to happen was adrian no longer umpires.

not bad!

Yeh good one pal, tell me your name so we can work out what your remembered for you peanut.
As long as Ray and Harry agree thats all that matters, i hade both of them in my hand that day (you little beauty). I may not know what 6 feel like (esbc) but most don't know what 1 feels like, besides i didnt put myself in there someone else did all i know it was the best knock i have ever played and my team mates on the day agree.
And for a neutral spectator to mention it then i am humble.

Ps Hey Corpy want do you use to polish Harry.
