Like your work Mr Cricket......... Rosanna and banyule Grand final for me, Ockaman will tuneout the runs come finals time and will be too strong for the howzats! Jeff Wilson, Rowdy and ocka, plus D. barnes will peak at the right time... Dissapointing to see heidelbergs top order doing so badly. not the same side without Hunter, favrins and jordan..big job for Brid come finals time!
I dont like the slimes batting, there key batters are making runs, Kels, butts and the bloke who opens. if they make no runs they are gone.. parnell should be dropped to the 5ths and get some runs now, then bring him back for the finals. good to see the bear making runs.... he loves em.

in a grade
hwest had a good win but not quite good enuff to get the full 10 pts. Good to see chickenman score a great knock of 135no and backed up by his coach greg camilleri with a well made 77. Did have them 5fa in the 2nd innings but with martin and bubba still at the crease with the scores level they never had any real chance.
edinburgh had a great win against the out of form hberg for the 2nd time this year. After a VERY disappointing batting display by the burgers they never really gave their bowlers a chance to defend anything (about time they relied on someone other than bubbles and cash to get them out of trouble i feel ???? ) . Nick abbott scored a brilliant 125 and well backed up by the ever reliable Bradley shadbolt with a well made 89. Whilst big bubbles did the job again pulling back some respectability with 4/60 from his 20 overs. Edinburgh will be hoping for a win next week against the blowies to finish the year off on a high.
After amassing 275 the international XI were very disappointing in allowing rosanna to pass them 4 down. Lukey anderson, huss and dan dunbar in his first game of the year in first grade did the damage all batting very well against an ordinary bowling effort. Only player to pick up multiple wickets was the young up and coming luke harbinson who will give the saints so hope for the future and not just relying on there wallets. Very good sign just before finals for rosanna and a big finals series for them may be on the cards.
In the match of the round banyule ended up easily accounting for slime. After making 215 last week held together by ray kelsey (102) and having banyule 1/5 overnight with dangerman brent oconnor out,they were looking favourites but some goodbatting from youngster ryan hartnett (27), marty phillips (35no),j.wilson (55no) and justin poyser (71) got them well and truly over the line. Very good for banyule people to see them easily win without brent oconnor contibuting to the scorecard.
Well if all results go as expected then the likely semi finals will be
Rosanna Vs Gborough @ rosanna if playable
Banyule Vs Hberg @ banyule
any thoughts from anyone??
