Still think Brighton on their day are capable of beating the top 3 as well.

re: South Division 10/11
Was lucky enough to see a bit of the Bentleigh vs Port Melbourne match on Saturday. Plenty of class cricketers on show.
Good to see Matt Daykin bowling at near full steam again.
Chris Street launched a couple of massive sixes in his score of 30 odd.
Port bowled and fielded pretty well, but looked in strife when they were 6 down for 100 odd, but in the end the run chase was probably a bit more comfortable than the scores suggested.
One thing took my eye though was the bowling of Adnan Khawaja. He is very exciting to watch when he bats, but my god he throws it when he bowls. I was interested to see a couple of VTCA officals at Arthur Street on Saturday. I wonder if they noticed it as well. Hard not to.

Also called in to Bentleigh and was surprised the Umps didn't call him. Four balls an over were dodgy, but it didn't worry Street as he nearly hit him on to Jasper rd., if he had of stayed in Bentleigh would have won.

re: South Division 10/11
Adnan has been chucking it for years and they have never called him, so why would they start now!? When he was at Seddon they had pinned up an article from the Western Times or another local rag in the local after h'ed picked up a bag. The accompanying photo of him in the delivery stride showed his arm at no less than 45 degrees.
Not sure which VTCA ump would have the balls to calll someone for chucking, no matter how obvious it is...
Some interesting/close games this week - Port vs Melb High and Brighton vs Beauey as well as Hampton vs Murrembeena at the bottom end.

re: South Division 10/11
have to agree about Kwaja chucking it, ripping batsmen and bloke but he just throws them down. Umpires are scared to call someone a chucker, look what happened to Daryl Harper and the other Aussie umpire that called Murali.
On other matters, has anyone ever had J Chapple given out LBW? We had him plumb twice on Saturday and once the game before, all not given. Only then for our 6' 10" opening bowler to be given out LBW when it hits him in the upper thigh..... Not why we lost but certainly didn't help.

Sounds like a bit of a sook about Chapple, Kev hasn't been complaining about it. Heard a rumour that the umps might have made comment about a certain action from the weekend.

Round 1 of the 05/06 season. Quite a few times before that, but not since according to MyCricket. Perhaps he's just rectified a flaw in his technique.
Who's action are you referring to Sledge?

re: South Division 10/11
Heard the same thing Sledge - and to be honest not surprised and about time!!!
Vicious - scroll up and see who has been mentioned a few times about a "chucking action" - he's the one I believe will be undertaking some "remedial classes!!" Let's hope the classes do the job!! In the meantime I wonder if now it is out there that the umps will look a bit closer?? Certainly I think opposition clubs / players will be.

You hope everyone lets the umps do their job or it will get out of hand.

Havent faced Adnan for a while and even though he chucks he still cant bowl. He is a class bat though.
I think some "remedial classes" are needed for Gelbart from Maccabi, the wrong stepper is halfway down the wicket before he chucks it.

re: South Division 10/11
Can i ask what the go is with Ajax? nearly beaten outright in 1 dayer!!
MHSOB handy pick up last week - Trent Pitts coach of the MHSOB FC Amos side... good player.. only came in with 11 balls to go, so score didnt do him justice.
I see Crouch back at HCC.. they could do with him!

re: South Division 10/11
Pittsy - More than handy, good No. 6 and a wise old head in the field too. Slapped a boundary in the second last over to ease a fair bit of pressure too.
Crouch - desperately needed with both bat and ball.

re: South Division 10/11
Crouch getting married and will only play the two one dayers - is there any truth to this?
If the rumour is correct is there ANY point to playing him (even though he is 4 times better than there next best player?). Rumours abound that players just do not want to train at Hampton, surely you would get more value giving a younger player an extended run in the ones such as Hutton?
