A bit cryptic...but if anyone gets the chance, ask A. Hewett about the barbecue to which only four of five people went

Never been any good at cryptic crosswords Watcher but A Hewitt was at a BBQ at CCC on Saturday night and buzzing after his 8 wickets and hat trick. So unless he went to another BBQ on the weekend don't know what your talking about so just spill.

None of us are smart enough to work out your cryptic message, where was the BBQ?

Was Mullet McGrath yelling abuse at Al Hewitt from the sidelines after Al got him out like he did to the bowler that got him out a week earlier.

Good bowling or loose batting?!

Bit of both I think when it comes to slow bowling. 3x C&B, 1x Caught at slip and 1x stumping where the lad just dragged his back leg.
Still got hit for 3 fairly big 6s
All this in less than 6 overs, very entertaining stuff

I should mention that I have been fortunate enough this season to come on after bowlers such as Kenty have torn through the top order and rattled sides, the pressure is already on them when I come onto bowl. Kent is probably bowling the best he ever has this season.

bloody hell pg you getting a 5fa in A grade how the fxck did you do that i just remember most training nights your balls going on the road or somewhere looooooong lol....in all seriousness mate a 5fa in A grade is a great effort hope to see more of it as rosies losing a lot of players have made other players step up which is good for the club just wish we could get some more younger lads to the club to help keep the club growing....

[Dogwatcher]

Yeah, well done PG, did notice your name in the honours as I was proof reading them today. Phantom Gossiper's easier to spell than your actual name!

You know as much as I do, was hoping someone would ask him and provide the answer!

WTF are you on about?

[Thats Gold]

It certainly did, the dude that made 170 looked all at seas early, he plays and awkward looking shot that goes straight into the ground and then kicks on through the covers, once he got a ton he was seeing it like a beachball and hit runs at will.
Obviously the bowling wasn't great, if you don't bowl to set fields you can't take wickets or restrict runs, there were a lot of mis-fields that resulted in boundaries, you couldn't even get shitty with the fielders, after having a go out there yourself you realized how unreadable the ground was.

I remember playing against that Paul Macsai bloke a couple of seasons ago. We always dismissed him reasonably cheaply and for memory he was a left hander who looked a little ungainly and unco-ordinated. He could also bowl left arm mediums as well and was very quiet on the field.
A Ton is a Ton and 170 is a fair effort but its probably equivalent to 80 odd at Smithfield oval wouldnt you say LM?

You are correct in your assessment, hard to put a figure on what his score was worth at Smithfield Oval, his 6's wouldn't of been 6's but then would he of played the same shot, he got a few inside edges that went for 4, he got value from the ball.
At the end of the day he hit 170 and got dropped once off a slim chance at gully where the ball just clipped the fielders fingertips. As unco as he looked he managed to last out there and score a big score, that's what we have to look at, 5 per over for 70 overs is very achievable, just lasting the 70 overs is the key, they were blocking boundaries.

[Lightning McQueen]

best wishes to Peter Clarkson for a speedy recovery, having some problems resulting from minor surgery, hope to see you back on your feet very soon.

Yeah, poor bugger not in a great spot atm, the heart of the PDCA, Pete has been doing a fantastic job and spends countless hours doing what others wouldn't consider doing.

hey LM speaking on blocking boundaries what score would he of made if he was playing at banksia park school lol....and 170 is 170 doesnt matter how unco it looks its in the score book great effort i think....

Good on Kenty, great guy... Always had a good relationship with him.

That left hander from PG better not bat like Patty Campbell!!!

Watcher, I have just spoken to A Hewitt and he has nonidea what your talking about. Got any other cryptic crap?

[Dogwatcher]

Crap? No need to be so forceful.

Ok Garbage!!!

[Dogwatcher]

Make all the assertions you like, I'm just looking for some info
Al either knows what I'm talking about or someone's pretending to have his mobile.

[Lucky For Some]

Doggie, I am getting a headache trying to work this out - time to come clean with the story

[Dogwatcher]

Read The Bunyip tomorrow.

Not making any assertions, I asked Al face to face and he told me he didnt know what you are on about and you know what I believe him, don't have any reason not too because if you knew him you would know he is an honest bloke.
I am sure you will see Al play at CCC in the future if that is what you are trying to get out, after all he took 8 wickets and his maiden hat trick last Saturday.
