Where's the ham & cheese?;325560 said:
Here's my summary:

-The wash ups put on a super spread this year.
-Mackie's is good if you like donuts and sausage rolls but you better be quick...
-Centrals have always had some good hot dogs to go with their spreads.
-Uniting's was definitely up there.
-East Sandy's, ANA's and Le Page's are usually around a C+.
-Elwood's is tripe.

From this it would be safe to conclude that Le Page are a C+ in cricketing ability. And given you've commented on 11 clubs, Carnegie South's would be your own. How do you rate the tea at Lord's?

Most of the excitement had been with Woolnough until the drawn games last week. Now it's a clear cut situation whereby the winner of 2 particular games will play off in the 1st semi. Same can't be said about Longmuir. Mackie are faced with the possibility of winning this weekend and still missing out. The real surprise comes from West Bentleigh who could potentially play East Sandy in a 2nd semi. Should they achieve the outright result and Mackie & East Sandy win, West Bentleigh will jump to 46 points, 1 ahead of Elwood, Union & Mackie. Mackie will suffer for the weakest percentage of those 3. Certainly makes for an exciting finish to the season. No doubt phones will be ringing off the hook for scores and results on Saturday.

Highett West-v-Cluden: Have to pick the home team but should be a ripper.

Having them 7/90 at one point and proceeding to drop 8 catches wasn't exactly "ripper" cricket. Kudos to Cluden, and in particular Joshy Verlin for fighting their way to a defendable score. Still think 180 is probably 30-50 short of par score on that dust bowl. Aside from Bennett, the older heads seemed content to chew up overs rather than put up a score.

Have you all left town very little action since Friday,I feel like the 40 year old virgin as I am trying to get rid of the Rookie status but little or no discussion to get into.

Archie I hope the result fell the right way after the ridiculous re schedule.

Jimmy I suppose you have been too busy getting the next edition of the daily planet ready for consumption.

Brett you got me all excited when the Big cricket email said you had replied to my post but sadly no mention of you joining the Conga line and still no word from Barrack or Condalisa from the White House.

Some interesting situations in the games and I was lucky to pick up a couple of wickets and will chase a couple of hundred next week.

I look forward to some lively discussion to build the post to shed the rookie category to the next level.

Merlot, it's the "Daily Bugle" and I only work there 9-5 weekdays. The Daily Planet is another prospectve St.Kilda sponsor I believe.
I think Archie got his result.
LPP and CS both intend setting chaseable targets for their opponents this week as they have nothing to lose. Could be bad news for Mackie though.
 
Re: CMCA- Ommies to remain in top grade

Jimmy when you say setting WB & BUCC a sizeable target it sounds like they have a say in it.
If Surridge is to true to form LPP may have no say, M.Reid is a talented cricketer but would you say BUCC a more likely to bowl the opposition out or WB.
Makes for an interesting round.
 
Re: CMCA- Ommies to remain in top grade

Brett,

Undoubtedly Chubbs is one of the premier bowlers in the competition. However if you are trying to create an argument as to whether Chubbs or Chopper are more likely to bowl out their opposition, it's slightly irrelevant when there are other members in their respective bowling attacks also eligible to collect wickets.

Having said this I think neither Uniting or Wests will win outright. Le Page and Carnegie South have shown throughout the season that they have both improved enough not to have a shocker like the weekend just gone twice in a row.

This means that Bentleigh Uniting would finish 6th, and Mackie simply have to get 226 against Union to nudge West Bentleigh out of finals. On paper this SHOULD happen, however Mackie may been known to go missing when it matters. I'll still back them to do it.
 
Re: CMCA- Ommies to remain in top grade

Sugar just discussion mate, not trying to cause an argument.
I reckon it will be a great final Saturday of the year.

Besides I know who is better, they should not even be compared.

Sugar - The sooner you learn to ignore, the better. Too often his posts aren't how they've been interpreted. Time to come up with a better excuse or better still, quit hanging onto past glories and accept his new home. Also note that Bunter stated the respective sides facing outright defeat may have suggested that they'll make a game of it, therefore increasing the possibility of an outright result. Looking fwd to hearing how these games pan out. Could be a thrilling dash to the finish line for some March action.

That was the point of the statement Michael. Simply put, neither CS or LPP have anything to lose by setting a target (if they bat well enough) and trying to get some points out of the game. That being said I would not be too generous in my declarations as both Uniting and West would also have nothing to lose as they both would get 4 points even if defeated in two innings. But if West get 10 it won't matter if Mackie get 'em or not.
Brett, you have to take into account the strength of the batting side also.
Set them 160 in 25-28 and go for it.
 
Re: CMCA- Ommies to remain in top grade

Jimmy hope the 9 to 5 at Bugle was the standard fare for a Monday.Hope you don't get accused of blowing your bugle like the owner of another musical instrument.

Brett still no response from you , The Oval office or Barrack and Condalisa.I wonder if Barrack knows about this forum and whether he would send in the CIA to close it down like the old CMCA site.Checked out your and the team stats on my cricket site and while you have been earning the petrol money with over 500 runs at a handy 50 plus, the team is languishing at second last with only the two wins.Also notice you have turned into a wicket keeper bowler these days with a handy 2 for 7. Do you bowl and then race the ball down the pitch to catch it the batsman miss it?

Michael does Brett think you are 98 cents short of the Dollar?

Ham & Cheese what does banned mean have you been given a heavier sentence than the CMCA tribunal has ever handed out for your unkind words about those 3 clubs.What has what you think about the clubs got to do with their arvo tea?If Uncle Mick is correct and you are a Carnegie South person I think your mob took off the prestigious best arvo tea award a couple of seasons ago.I will see if I can track down Robbo at the SOC to see who is providing the good fodder this season.

Speaking of the umpires I hear there is some dis content about the new white uniforms imposed on them by the executive.

The little and much bigger boys in blue are struggling with the lilly whites , with some not wanting the sun protection sleeves or the tight wrist bands but the biggest concern is the bbq plate on the back from the big advertising sign conducting the warmth of the sun into an oven like atmosphere on their back.Maybe the new skins ice cool spray could reduce the temperature for them.With the finals just around the corner who is in line for the Big umpiring jigs and will Robbo have the say or be over ruled like he has been by his lieutenants during the year?

Well done Archie Jimmy was spot on in saying you got over the line.Good luck for next week.

If any one spots Barrack or Condalisa tell them we need a bit more than Jimmy's weekly highlights to update us as not all of us get the White house bulletin sent them directly.After isn't that the purpose of a website to update and inform it's members?

Care to elaborate?
 
Re: CMCA- Ommies to remain in top grade

Now Uncle Mick as a supplier of 187 posts I think from memory, you would know the forum rules.

As a rookie just back from overseas I am very carefull in what I say as I believe the forum master can give you a holiday for colourfull language.

Your ham & cheese mate from Carnegie South said some unkind things about 3 clubs in his arvo tea assessment and was given what looks to be a banned under his name where you have member and I have rookie.I am not sure how you passed the Duncan St entrance exam if you didn't know that!

Speaking of which no doubt when you were given your new gold cap you would have been advised not to worry about being reported as like I mentioned the cmca tribunal don't suspend players as despite it's supposed charter it is not independent as they all have some previous connection to the CMCA or its clubs and are too scared to upset anyone,particularly players in gold caps.

Once you have mastered this information I sure Brett will think you are worth more than 2 cents.

Also I did ring the police lost & found squad today as I was wonder where the forum originator is these days being the great Budda himself?Does he still contribute or is he letting his bat doing the talking as it will need to do against the Union Power on Saturday.

Jimmy I agree the elder statesman Chubba could give Mitchell Johnson a run for his bowling money but can Mrs Chubbs wear the dress of the 7 disappearing veils as well as Mrs Johnson?

Just my daily update from the oval office still nothing from the mouths or keyboards of Barrack and Condalisa however with finals looming they are going to have make a press release or rely on the real proclaimer of all things CMCA aka the ANA website.

The email I received in Fiji said that this was a lively forum with some healthy debate with issues flying back and forth but the old merlot can hardly get a response with several of you well known forum users keeping the bat firmly under the arm.At this stage Barrack would have no cause to shut it down even if he could!

Do they still serve twistees for arvo tea which one club was famous for not so long ago!

Ham & cheese maybe you could get your girl friend or some one to post a reply until your supposed suspension is lifted.

Time to pop the cork and dust off a bottle of the finest to send me into the land of sleep.
 
Re: CMCA- Ommies to remain in top grade

Indeed your powers of perception are far greater than mine, Merlot. Experience from the bigfooty forum tells me that anyone under a ban has their name highlighted in red. This obviously doesn't translate to bigcricket.

And I'm well aware that the golden cap comes with great honour and distinction. I often wear it under the navy blue to remind the folk in Woolnough how important a person I am - sometimes to bed too, just so the missus doesn't forget either.

One has to wonder about the going's on in the Wooly match between ANA and ESBC!ffice ffice" />
Apparently ESCC were 4/31 after 13 overs when one of the ESBC players realised that ANA were using a 2 piece ball???
With no official umpire at hand ESBC refused to continue the game and it therefore has become a 1 dayer this week!
The question has to be asked that even if grabbing the 2 piece ball was an accident how did they get 13 overs in and not 1 ANA player noticed that they were using the wrong ball???? It was an ESBC player noticed it!!!
Again the question has to be asked of ANA's integrity here surely?? Will watch closely to see what, if anything the CMCA do here

I reckon Duddy, Bennett x2, Phelan, Devereaux (not current player) and Pitt might have something to say about people wearing "gold caps" not getting suspended.

Someone bit you with the jealousy bug, Merlot?

It's tough being at the top....

Based on their previous history if it had been the Wanderers bowling with a 2 piecer against ANA they would have claimed the 10 points lodged an investigation and your skipper would have been suspended for a year and their website would have melted.
