Geelong Cricket Chat 09/10

Re: Geelong Cricket Chat 09/10

Babies Arm, i was aksing if the GCA had rolled over, not saying they did. But it seems to me now that Mr Breen and his WPCC have taken this much further than was warranted. If this is the case he should be dealt with by the GCA, and be labelled a tool in local cricket circles for years to come. To slander people with such a sensitive public issue is really careless and asking for trouble, dont start a fire ya cant put out Mr Breen. I hope the addy follow up the fact that Mr Breen has abused his position whilst they are apologizing to the Thomson CC.

From the grapevine the WPCC believed in what they were doing, and from the posts the Thomson guys believed they had nothing to answer for. Either way the game or last few games have appeared to have gotten out of hand. Maybe if these had been sorted out after those games it would have never gotten to this bitter end. Obviously there are cultural differences between Australian's and Indian's as in international cricket there are many cases when the Indian's have come out and complained about the Australian sledging, etc, which the Aussies believe are okay but obviously the Indian's do not. I just think everyone needs to step back and look at the game we are playing, it is a great game that everyone should enjoy, win, loose or draw. And the Indian's have a huge role in cricket, imagine how boring it would be without having the IPL to turn on after midnight on a big night out !!

Re: Geelong Cricket Chat 09/10

and now back to cricket, is the unthinkable happening in this round. ST Alban's/Breakwater only 20 runs away from being knocked out in the semi-finals ? I heard they were bowled out for 100 by Teesdale, who are 2 for 80 in reply. It will be a great escape if they can get out of this one !

Also St Peter's in an okay position with runs on the board against Thomson. 200 on the board and Thomson are 2/23 with Ben Smiljanic out already. Will be a great confidence booster for Thomson if they win this one as these chases are always tough in a final. If they get past this they should breeze the Grand Final. A lot rests on Steve Illingworth and Charlie Lamb on this one. A few quick wickets and the Saints will be right on top.

Also the two Div One games have scores of around 160 on the board for both games. What/if anything does this say about the wickets ? Is there too much assistance in it for the bowlers or did the pressure just get to both sides ?

Re: Geelong Cricket Chat 09/10

and now back to cricket, is the unthinkable happening in this round.

Joeys lost a wicket first ball of the match (to a LBW) in GCA1 1sts and were soon 4-19 with both Morgan and Fanning gone, so did pretty well to bat all day and scrape a competitive 161 together. So I'd say early pressure rather than the wicket in this case.

Yes Thomson will have their work cut out in GCA2 but remember Smiljanic made blobs in both last season's semi and grand finals, so plenty of batting to come. But they will have earned it if they get up as St Peter's bowling is the better part of their game.

Disappointing that at 10.25am Sunday morning there's still no score up on MyCricket for SABCC v Teesdale in GCA3.

Well, is this true, nothing on my cricket? Wouldn't be the first time St.Albans choked in a finals series. A couple of quick wickets (hat tricks) from Muzza, still may not be enough.

Also St Peter's in an okay position with runs on the board against Thomson. 200 on the board and Thomson are 2/23 with Ben Smiljanic out already.

the only thing that would beat Thomson... is themselves - Salts and Bentley still in and O'Neill to come but after that they fall away a little, so big job on those 3. Either way the Saints are in a good position and I won't be disapointed if they get up as I backed them to win the grand final

Re: Geelong Cricket Chat 09/10

It was a down day for St Peters on Sun with the favourites losing in the 1sts and the 3rds. 3rds on top right up until the last day of home and away and then dropped to third as they had a wash-out. Got rolled for 71 and then Thomson passed them 8 down. Superb effort from our 2nds though LH you're right. They have made a habit of being all over the place during the season only to blitz finals and win flags....06/07, 07/08. They have a good side in at the right time of the year and should continue to cause headaches after finishing 6th. Shields & Guthridge hitting very good form at the right time.

hahahaahahaha, falling to 3rd because of a washout :|, they were 2 wickets from being given an absolute hiding.
thankfully the rain came for you or you WOULD of have got 0 points instead of 3 and maybe fallen lower than 3rd

Looking forward to watching both games next week, maybe we can catch up for a shandy or two?... Got to see the end of the game today, St Albans UNLUCKY...Teesdale Well Done! Enjoy your time in Div 2 next year St Albans, Maybe we'll see you again in a couple of years in Div 3.
As for our Boys, we had a win in the Two's, Three's and Four's. Hopefully we can get at worst, at least one win out of those. Seconds and Fourth were too good, Thrids home in a thriller...

That would be true! However, we just put fear into the opposition and sometimes that fear gets exposed the following week

headed to queens park to have a look at thomy v st.peters and it was game on early as the tiges lost salts early and louie a short time later and that brought strodsy to the wicket with sean'o' and from there on it was a batting display by both lads. stodsy crafting out a well earned 40ish and sean'o' bringing up his 1st 100 at this level with a cracking off drive. Congrats to the big 'O' on the tonne and im talking about runs not weight. Bring on the Vikings

Re: Geelong Cricket Chat 09/10

GCA presentaion night last night. A few observations -

GCA2 champion player (the one based on points for runs/wickets/catches) was Leigh McAuliffe from North Shore who played 4ths all year. Didn't know that with the advent of MyCricket, that was how the GCA intended to run it now. Daniel Fanning and Jason Murray (GCA1 & GCA3 respectively) were the other points winners in their sections.

Speech of the night would have to be Shaun Campbell from Teesdale. Also his dress sense, cap and all - did Teesdale tell him he was going to a BBQ?

Not enough respect shown IMO whilst presentations were being made, but there were a few in the room more than half-cut by that point I guess.

Re: Geelong Cricket Chat 09/10

Good on Shaun Campbell for getting up there and speaking his mind, sticking up for the country cricketers but it was an absolute disgrace to see the performance his table put on while Alf Clark, one of the greatest cricketers in Geelong was receiving an award for breaking the GCA runs record. To carry on like they did and then stand up in front of everyone half an hour later to demand respect, was a joke. Start by showing some respect of your own
