Re: CMCA- Ommies to remain in top grade
Just having a whinge, Clock. Was given out caught behind off my pads trying to cut on from the spinner. Umpire proceeded to tell me I must be the only person on the ground who thought I didn't hit it only to find out after the game he was the only person on the ground that thought I hit it. Hard pill to swallow knowing there's a 6 month wait now, but thems the breaks.

Brett, no need to tell you that most cricketers will appeal for anything.You have done that a few times in your career even though you knew it wasn't out. It doesn't mean that the batsman is out, and after the game you will most likely share it with your opponent.It sounds as though the ump may have been conned or just got it wrong.

Congratulations on bringing up your 200 posts and commiserations on the defeat.Yes 6 months is a long time.
Which umpire SB or AL did the damage?Not that I have much time for the men in white with the BBQ plate on the back but you would expect better at the business end of the season.Maybe the advisor needs to be on the spot more often and what is Robbo doing to raise the bar.Do they still conduct the accreditation course which certainly raised the standard several years ago.
By the sound of things the Longy umpires weren't much better with the new boy and the moving sight screen not getting them all right!
TSTSTS office works still have those keyboards on special as you still seem to be jamming your keys.
Brett your proving to be sillier than I thought as my brief understanding of the rules is that you need an appeal to be dismissed!
The old chestnut the CMCA website continues to amaze me.Have they not heard of banner headlines?Rather than lump it altogether could I suggest the following would be more informative.Maybe Adam could give them a few lessons as the voice of the CMCA website nears 200,000 posts.
Day 1 scores
Day 2 scores
Preliminary final details and grounds.
Tribunal results
Finals arrangements
Junior scores
Also could someone tell how they choose Wattie Watson reserve to hold a longy semi final when the largest corporate triathlon was being organised and held on both days of the game!Players and spectators found it very difficult to get close to the ground.
Brett you can defend them all you like although you have suddenly become mute, the fact of the matter is they are put in there to do a job either do it properly or get out and let someone who can do it properly.
You can have 100 burger bourbons to one that we will hear, see or know about the Longy tribunal result any time this week.
Jimmy how were the stray cats and you must be busy at the Bugle as your lack of posts made me think you were os with me!

Re: CMCA- Ommies to remain in top grade
good performance by the easts which sees them into the big dance.. likely to be played at washington the word is.. will be an interesting game between union and west this week i think the outcome will be decided by which wb team turns up they could make 300 or be all out for 50 who knows.
a bit of tension at chisolm reserve over the weekend with no love lost between the 2 teams. now ill be the first to say that at times the crowd at "the zoo" can be a bit rowdy, and the players can be have a bit to say on the field, but the behaviour of union players on the weekend was a disgrace!
some fiery characters led by that clown of a wicketkeeper who take it upon themselves to hurl as much personal abuse as possible..must think that this intimidates the opposition or somehow gives them an edge. need someone from the club to tell them to pull their heads in. shame that 4-5 of the players from the firsts are really nice guys and they get a bad name because of the others
PS. umpiring was terrible those 2 lbws were shockers one of them actually hit the ball for 4! as ththss said it went both ways with about 3 very decent lbws turned down from the young fast bowlers, a run out that looked very out, and the worst of all the "bump ball" that everyone bar the umpire knew was a regulation dismissal - a shocker! batsman prob should have walked too. and he was on 4 and ended up making 70 n.o

Re: CMCA- Ommies to remain in top grade
AL was the man at the centre of the decision fiasco. After starting "the walk", I actually turned back to confirm he had his finger up when I saw him walking down the pitch towards me with finger still raised. A little bemused to see him get sucked in, but I'm not here to hang him out to dry. We all have the occasional bad day. His just came at the wrong time for myself and probably our side. That decision aside, we couldn't really fault either umps decision making and control of the game over the weekend. However, they did lose count of the balls bowled in the overs a little too often.

Mr.Merlot, Stray Cats were in fine form, sadly by end of evening Jimmy was not and work at The Bugle proved to be a hard taskmaster. Sensational game at Elwood, had everybody there on the edge of their seats. Plenty of random passers-by taking a look and getting into it as well, but yes, parking was a bit of an issue although Jimmy lucked in right at the pedestrian lights. OS coming up week after the GF, not heading for India though.

REMEMBER WHEN?
Sporting Life
By Geoff McClure
January 27, 2004
Steve Waugh may be Australian of the Year but he was not the only cricketer making news on Australia Day. Out Moorabbin way, a bloke by the name of Mark Missen was being feted for his performance with the ball, having taken all 10 wickets while opening the bowling for Hampton United firsts in a match against Cluden. In fact, it was only by a freak of nature that skipper Missen even took the new ball. Michael Hutchins usually bowls first change but before the game he was helping bang the stumps in and hurt his back and had to withdraw from the match. A modest Missen, who finished with 10-27 off 24.1 overs, told the Frankston Standard Pots Shots column not only did he surprise himself by the performance but reckons the opposition batsmen were probably shocked, too. He said: "I've heard batsmen say, 'He won't deceive you with his pace, but he will deceive you with his slowness.' "

What an impressive title you now possess Double century member , did you ever do it with the bat?Congratulations are you the first to achieve this prestigious honour or has our illustrious founder also on the podium?Also I suppose you could say your caught behind wasn't a " flash " decision.
A woman on a train ( yes I am back in good old Melbourne ) told me that she had it on good authority that those lillywhites with the BBQ plate in particular one with a 4 burner plate could be cooked for some of those poor decisions on the weekend.I believe there are a couple of reports to be heard and you can have 150 burger bourbons to one on us hearing about the results.
Jimmy what a walk down memory lane with that little piece on your 10 for.I think i was in the outer that day watching the ball drift up at snails pace and fooling all 10 of them.I think the Golden Greek achieved the same feat sadly against your mob at the home of cricket from memory.Please drop the formalities with this Mr Merlot stuff you can call me Merlot, Merl ,but certainly
non of that threatening stuff I have received from others.I enjoyed the article in the Bugle and thought I was actually at lycra park standing along side you , so graphic was your piece about the game.It was unfortunate there had to be a loser and at the risk of upsetting all my fans at Gold Cap park or have them jumping out of trees or jamming their keyboard again, do you think they may have a tiny peek over their shoulders, at the thought of facing the West Bentleigh pace battery?
I believe there is a move at the umpires meeting to renamed the prestigious best afternoon tea award the Ham & Cheese best arvo tea award in recognition of our alledged suspended short term member.There are wispers that the gong could be going back to a club allegedly close to H & C heart but we will have wait until the big announcement at the umpires big Grand Final night at whichever rotating club it is being held at this year.I might sneak in disguise in the sun glaasses and trench coat to get the odd scoop or two.If anyone knows of the location just in case it is not a banner headline on B & C 's website please let me know as I think it could be worth blowing my cover to mingle with the BBQ plate backs mob.
I will try and get through to some of my impeccable sources to get the early gossip on the likely selection changes this week as I am sure there will be plenty.
Archie I am starting to worry that some mis fortune has happened to you.I am not going to publish my in depth reply to the stumped annals until I know that you are out there in forum land safe and sound.You haven't been caught up in this underbelly thing have you?As Bob Hawke said quite categorically any boss who makes you work that hard is a b m.(I didn't put the full word in just in case i get the H & C sin bin treatment)
Well while you enjoy the chocolate or Vanilla Horlicks I will just slip into a sleep inducing Merlot
Until next time

Re: CMCA- Ommies to remain in top grade
Negative Merl. Nearest I've been to any century is a 92 in D Grade or a 2/102 off 33 in the same grade back when I was 14 or 15.

Re: CMCA- Ommies to remain in top grade
I don't think it has received enough attention on this forum, but what an amazing knock Ano's 121 not out must have been for Elwood. Had they scored half a dozen more runs, it would have been treated as one of the greatest Longmuir innings in recent memory.
... and on a more biased note, well done to my good friend Adolf Stone, scoring 108 in the D Grade Semi to give ANA a 17 run win.

Re: CMCA- Ommies to remain in top grade
A fine effort, Sugar, but probably overshadowed by Jimmy's love child taking 6 for and making 62 not out in the same game.
Stoney wouldn't have been at The Banger all night before, would he?

Thanks for bringing that old chestnut up Clocker, the next match we made 325 against ESBC and they smashed us and won 3 down (was about 44 deg), Jimmy's figures 9 overs 0/60 I think, aah cricket, the great leveller, played one more game and pulled up stumps. I was one of GG's 10 too.
Merls, you do get around, I feel I know you intimately yet don't know who you are, like Clocker you retain your sensual mystery. I don't think WB hold too many fears for ESBC who are peaking at right time while the others seem to be dropping off a bit, but on "any given Sunday" anything can happen. Ano's knock was a beauty but as no press report submitted had to guess about the 121* and my love childs 7/78, they might be roughly right. Mind you Chopper was overly slow with bat on Saturday and thought they might be 30 short of where they should have been but he redeemed on Sunday. Was glad the last one didn't come down to an LBW, comprehensive all 3 stumps on the deck. If he had held out that one Ano had strike for next over and I think would have got them.
Uncle, was a pretty good chase and maybe there is more stock than I gave credit for but maybe a good learning curve for your boys.
You may resume speculation about Longy team, couple of tough omissions, can't say any more now.

Re: CMCA- Ommies to remain in top grade
Uncle Mick,
Some of these Gold caps were still in nappies when some of the CMCA great's cast a shadow on Murali's ton.
Marty Lyons hit 150 plus for one of the half a dozen clubs he played for on the day Collo's mate's love child refused him a drink so legend has it, leading to a rule change from such a low act.
The Golden Greek single handlely destroyed Mackie one year launching rockets off his bat into the local kindergarten.
Tim Caffrey, Chris Manakis are others that Murali would pale into insignificance when matched against him.
Jimmy with you wide rangeing media performances with radio,TV,internet etc we have probably crossed paths even played against each other, but sensual is not a description old Merlot would use on himself after all I have a couple of grand children.A bit of mystery (just like tribunal results),is good for us all.
uncle Mick what are the plans for this week down to the home of cricket to look at Longy or a trip to the former sandpit now lush green oasis for a bit of wooly action to see what might have been if the flash cameras hadn't gone off last week.
until next time Merlot

Re: CMCA- Ommies to remain in top grade
I forgot to say that the standard of CMCA cricket has dropped in the last ten years, and some of those I mentioned played against much better cricketers than a lot of the old blokes running around today.
The gold caps would have been scared to open their mouths in the old days!That will get a few jumping out of trees and twitching the keyboard!!!!
