Re: MMVCA General Cricket Chat 2009/10
well we didnt put up a great effort on the weekend, plenty of new young guys trying to make there way in A turf.
Our stocks are alittle low, but we have to start from somewhere. Hopefully some our experienced guys get amongst the runs and wickets and we win enough games to avoid the wooden spoon.

JUST KEEP AT IT ROO BOY, at least your club is prepared to give the young guys a crack at a turf even if it causes some short term pain in regards to ladder positions. in the end though it can only benefit your club in the future. goodluck.
showing more guts than another club in the mmvca that took the weak option and dropped to b grade for the same reason.

Boys we are short on stocks at the moment but the kids will get first crack at a spot in my team this year. If they put the hard yards in at training, they will be rewarded.
Saints too good with some very good batting from Taylor and Woodhouse.
I thought we bowled well early but the guys were patient and batted really well.
We were in the same position as the Saints after 20 overs but did not have the class to chase down the runs. We leaked a few more in the field than I would like but hey thats cricket and thats also the first game.....
Thought their new bowler in Carroll bowled well and very consistent.
Looks like a handy pick up. Not quick but does all the right things. Could not ask for more.
Smoke and Scotty very reliable as usual.
Good game played in great spirit and man is it good to be out on the park again!
Congrats to the council for getting us out there.

Re: MMVCA General Cricket Chat 2009/10
Glenroy and St Andrews are the only hopes
Glenroy have a good mixture of youth, middle-aged and older players in terms of cricket experience. Good depth on the batting side of things with very reliable openers who can either attack or defend. Middle order can be inconsistent but more often than not someone will bob up and make a decent score to add to the openers efforts. Their bowling relies heavily on Ward, but with Chisholm and Pipe chipping away all day with little variations and the young spinner coming on with every spell he bowls they look to have a decent attack. They are lead by an extremely well respected leader in Head and he conducts himself and the team in a tremendous manner. And of course they 'won' it last year so they deserve to be held in very high regard.
St Andrews will always be thereabouts because of their strong bowling line-up. Newton is a lock for 35+wickets and Wernham bowls that nagging line and length all day. With the new pick-up in Carroll and Tapner always in the background they should be able to defend most totals that Taylor and Tapner set. No Jolley is huge, not only for his batting prowess, but his presence out on the ground and how he tactically gets in the head of the opposition time after time. But Taylor has been around a long time and played a high standard of cricket to lead them well enough.

For those of you that attended my end of year wash up early this year i thank you, MMVCA i did not see you there, maybe you were on the other side of the bar and hiding!!
MMVCA is it true that you are taking your local council to court and trying to get money off them as they made the footpaths to close to your a s s??
Have a great day all.....

Re: MMVCA General Cricket Chat 2009/10
I agree ROOBOY!
We may as well all head to the races for the rest of the season!
Seriously how can you be making a call like that after round 1 when conditions may not have been equal for everyone?

Re: MMVCA General Cricket Chat 2009/10
Yes i totally agree with rooboy and you, I would say this season will be the most even season for some years with most teams around the same standed. Granted St andrews & Glenroy being very good teams i think they will not have things all their own way this year, which will be good for cricket..

Re: MMVCA General Cricket Chat 2009/10
Socials too good for us (Glenroy) yesterday. We made 175 and they chased them down with a couple of overs to spare and 4 wickets in hand. Good game.
This proves that there are definitely more than 2 teams in the hunt, or possibly now there is only one team, St Andrews.

Re: MMVCA General Cricket Chat 2009/10
A good win by Pacoe on weekend, I watched them chase down 194 with the loss of 4 wickets and 4 overs to spare. From what i saw it was played in great spirit by both teams. A big well done to barklys Captain who in the true spirit of cricket recalled a batter after being given out runout when he wasnot out that is a example of true sportsmanship.
