Re: VTCA Thread

Where's Laurie's weekly update on how great Ajax are and what pillars of the community they are...? It seems getting rolled for under 200 by a team destined for relegation has left him a bit quiet. Chin up Laurie, at least your boy Dan Onas got some runs... He's superb!

in the absence of Laurie, i will assume the position:

Top 4 cricketers in the world:
1. daniel onas
2. troy lamb
3. Jonathan Weinstock
4. Gary Litinsky

yours sincerely,

Laurie

Re: VTCA Thread

Dear John,

Sorry to post a new message but I forgot to respond to your comment re Abers. I guess you are refering to AbersChangedTeam and inferring I should be questioning his comments as well as Guru's.

AbersChangedTeam will have gone to ground because he made a fool of himself and his dignity could not let him continue to do so. If you read his post number 3166 he writes, "Have Westmeadows got their pom back,also KP? Avondale have no depth, so Asif Jan will be a 1 man band. Footscray United will be alot more competitve with Tulla who have Greenvale recruited that holds them in such goo stead. Abers can't wait to play some of these teams. We will be around the mark."

John, if you wrote that would you be spruiking about anything? Aberfeldie CC don't deserve to have their name link to AbersChangedTeam.

Think AbersChangedTeam may = Captain/Coach ???????

I never said they were the very best cricketers in the world, just that they are very good VTCA cricketers.

Maccabi AJAX are still a very good side they have just been very unlucky the last couple of weeks. We would have beaten Strathmore if not for leaking covers and delayed start.

Sunshine United on the wekend was a very difficult and underprepared wicket. Anything over 100 is defendable so 171 should be a winning score if our good bowling lineup bowls very well and they usually do. We should have taken more than one wicket on the weekend if not for some uncharacteristic fumbles that cost a couple of runouts. You should never take on a Maccabi AJAX fieldman because they are very good and well coached. Garry Litinsky has definately got one of the very best appeals in the world that's for sure, evident by another LBW on the weekend where he bowled two very good overs.

Does he work on his appeals at training Laurie, or is he just naturally gifted? Under rated part of the game.

Laurie, reading your posts it's clear you hold MA very dear to your heart but get a grip mate. If every thing is so good and the side so well coached how the hell did you lose the GF. Senior A was a gift from the man upstairs when in all honesty you have been rewarded for losing a grand final rather than winning one. Your club has been well versed in talking up your moderate results over the years, this time you have something to show for losing!

Re: VTCA Thread

Heywood, I certainly wouldn't be the first person they have surprised so far this season, but as you would realise we are three and a half games into a season that goes for 11. Looking at who they have played makes interesting reading. Round 1 against Greenvale a very good win against a side who I feel should be right in the hunt for the finals, round 2 a win against F/United who are in the danger zone given the executive directive. Round 3 first innings loss against Abers, then knock them over for 63 and reverse them, well everyone knows where Abers unfortunately will sit this year. Round 4, I think a little light with 208 against Westy on what looked like a pretty good deck,Jeffrey with 124 obviously saved their bacon. I'm certainly not convinced yet but as we know a strong pre Christmas makes the post Christmas games a little easier. I think there will be some tougher times when you start playing the real contenders in A1, but can't question the start they've had to the season. My assumption was based on no Albers and Dodd, two of their proven performers and I thought and still think they will struggle at the end of the season. I look forward to being proven wrong.

Yeah, you could be right guru, there's still a long way to go.It's only early days yet. Re the abers game V's avo. That deck is very ordinary and I don't think we will see many large scores on it. If you take a look at avo's performances thus far you will see that they've had many contributors to there overall results. Which brings to mind the analagy, "Champion team, rather than a team of champions". Certainly the import and the skip will need to stand up most of the time, but is'nt that the case with most sides?

Re F/united in the danger zone given the executive directive. What do you mean by that comment?

Went passed sunshine uniteds ground last week. They had the covers on thursday night and all day friday. I reckon it would of sweated up something fierce come sat. You say it was underprepared which is unusual for them. S/United have always prided themselves on producing great batting tracks.

Re: VTCA Thread

How can you say G.Turner is boring?? He runs amok in current days unlike your good self who seems to recall an innnings occurring last century in the now very old and very defunct SCA comp?? If I or the Turner deciples are turnips or carrots why my friend are you talking about a bloke that made runs in a defunct league who now plays church comp on a VTCA thread?? Given your comment on watching cricket for 30 years I would suggest that the warm glow of being senile is kicking in to your good self. If you don't like Turner updates then don't read them!!!!! Time for your medication Mr Jones??

For your info G. Turner also went around last century in the f.c.a. comp. Chris Armstrong is still very much alive. Still playing cricket which means he is very current.

Back to G. Turner. Certainly he has been a fantastic servant for yccc. He can also lay claim during his best years, to being the best opening bat in the f.c.a. comp last century. He was a very solid bat. He was also the most boring bat in the competition. In fact he was so boring they would'nt allow the juniors to watch him. I also believe he was the reason there was an upsurge of suicides in the comp. All of whom were bowlers that had the misfortune to come up against him.

As for me being senile, thats something you can look forward to. As to my medication, yep I,m having it right now. Glenlivet on ice.

Re: VTCA Thread

i thought keilor were in a good possie
2-1 with a "narrow" loss to south caulfield and im sure everyone would admit keilor shoulda won that 1

great innings by Scott Porter, saw a little bit and he flayed the attack around mercilessly, especially the little leggie in his second spell...
top effort...

wondering why o'keefe chose to sit the game out after tea?????
also on another note
yarraville club feilded brilliantly
saved at least 30-40 runs on that field which could make all the difference

His fielding glasses broke and he only had his punting glasses left to wear so he stayed inside and got on the punt.

G.Turner seen in deep contract negotiations over the weekend. SMS's doing the rounds as late as Saturday morning claiming the great man is about to return?? Discussions failed late morning due to a clause in the contract allowing Turner to drink at will until he passed out not being met? Appears Turner did that by himself and couldn't get to the ground. His good mate Roy Symonds has come out and admitted he has a drinking problem but Turner insists that he is just soft. When discussing the Doutta wicket with Turner his comment was "Nothing wrong with the length of the pitch at all, you need room for the esky dont you?" His little fat mate Patroliummm heard to chime in with "Yeah and the dim sims ha ha!"

He was he bored Keilor to death in the second innings of a grand final 2 years ago. So much so they called the game off and he as a result of being boring became a back to back premiership coach???? That was the beginning of the dredded binge spiral we now see him and the deciples on now. Turner and friends binge drink? Taylor and petrarlium binge eat. Simple really?
