Para Districts Cricket Association 2011/12

[Lethal Dose]

One Tree Hill 9/179 with Ashley Bishop hitting 76, was hitting some balls that went miles. Smithfield in reply were 7/79 when the game was called off. was raining for 15 overs before the game was finally called off. One Tree Hill had the far better conditions to bat but to there credit made a decent total to defend. Moss took 5/17 and Tuckwell 2/45 for Smithfield. Draw will hopefully set up a good finish to season for that coverted 4th position comes finals time. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all and bring on 2012

Witnessed a bit of bad sportsmanship today in the one tree hill Craigmore game. Everyone knew rain was forecast today and a full days play was probably unlikely, so when the rains came you would think it was no suprise. Play was called off during the 2nd innings with Craigmore batting. The one tree hill opening bowler actually slipped at the crease and hit the deck due to the rain and slippery condition. Quite rightly the official umpire deemed conditions unsafe and stopped play. Yet certain Craigmore players made a song n dance about it, even argueing with one tree hill players as if it were there fault. A game played in good spirits with no issues until the end there. Bit of a shame to be honest

Blah blah blah.
How would you know what happened after the game, heard you did the Harold Holt and didnt hang around to shake hands, poor form.

Nah I had to leave when we came off for rain. had to get to work. would have gladly hung around for a few beers after had I not had work. Anyways I saw u in the whites today, retirement didnt last long did it

So how donyou know what happened after the game if you had to shoot through?
Yeah I played today in our C grade so what, playing with a mate who won't be playing in the future, something you wouldn't know about as you have NO mates!!!
Something did happen today I got told I couldn't field after catching a guy, couldnt believe my ears so had to give him a serve as he walked off, told him I couldn't field bit I could catch , see ya!!!

I heard all the rubbish that was gettin said as we walked off and as I was packing up.my stuff. I did hear it continued for a little while
So u come out of retirement n ur already handing out the sledges n send offs... Shocker. Get any runs?

Days of our lives..

Ummmm.....to put it mildly! Some of the worst acting ever to be witnessed! Put Home and Away in that category (took the Mrs word for it)? I'll paint the picture......Chasing 140ish which OTH should never even have got close to had our bowlers and fielders had of been fair dinkum about the game. We are 0/40 off 10 overs cruising to an inevitable win and a small shower passes for 3 mins. Follows is an academy award performance with an ambling run up to the crease result in 3 twists, two and a half somersults with a half pike ending in the umpire being intimidated into coming off the ground! Good on ya Fineleg2Fineleg its your teams best result of the season!!!

For the record mate when you left for work we were off due to a rain delay and probably werent going to get back on. Our whole team were less than 10 metres away from you so wouldnt have thought it would have been all that difficult to say seeya or shake our hands?? Poor form IMO!!!

[Thats Gold]

A few loud mouths and trash talkers in OTH's Grade 2 side. Not good for a team who remains winless through the first half of the season! But just sayin.......

[bagster]

central united, sent in, 7/159 from 40 .. angle vale 1/29 from 10, play called off for bad light, 15 minutes later the rain came, just long enough to get tLhe matting in.... dry...

Bad light?!!? WTF

definately very hard to see the ball out of the trees at the fenced end of mofflin res, could have continued, had i taken the fast bowlers off, but wasnt prepared to give them any chance to get the runs with the slower bowlers operating... it rained soon after anyway...

We had the opposite at dwight today. Another ep atco classic ending in a draw due to rain with the game well and truly in the balance. Played in great spirits without the rubbish that comes along with rained affected games

bowling with a waterlogged non swinging ball wasn't exactly easy but yea the game probably should have been called off 20 mins earlier than it did. Obviously we were happy to stay out there but we were close to playing water sports. Was good to see Ash Bishop fire with the bat.

Couple of them were huge, i reckon he even hit the rainwater tank in the property over the big fence. was dropped twice but after he had already passed his 50.

gday guys, froffies is back to rattle some cages and or rustle some feathers...

had a look down mofflin reserve saturday and saw andrew 'wishart' martin was umpiring... doing a good job, called a few dead balls due to it hitting the crack in the middle of the pitch.. no worries. some time later, one, J.Nuske was given out caught behind after a massive deviation from the crack in the middle of the pitch. 'wishart' was only to apologise at drinks after talking to the square leg umpire (whilst Nuske was walking off) agreeing it hit the middle of the pitch?.. how is this guy umpiring grade 1... he should stick to singing.

number 2, had a look at Justin Carman first hand and whats the fuss over this guy? sent down some serious garbage, if he bowls like that for the rest of the year he'll be in the D grade at Angle Vale... absolute tripe, straight up and down at a gentle pace.

and lastly johnathon pogas hit miles picton for a zack only to say to the CU captain next over to bowl slow bowlers coz he is having trouble picking the ball up? pull your lid in pogas, i think he needs to enter a room full of mirrors and have a good hard look at himself.

Ever tried your hand at umpiring? You do know that umpiring at this level you don't have the benefit of calling for a replay?? And that all decisions are made within a tiny time-frame of thinking. I have umpired both cricket and football and I can tell you as a human, I have made some seemingly bad decisions through not having the time to think things through. Umpires are only human. Whether paid or unpaid, team mate or neutral, our game wouldn't be played without them.

And please, tell us a bit about your stella career?

You could see the deviation from the the boundary! not one to talk about myself but i can comfortably say i'd slap you to all parts of the ground... you know what they say about umpires... they umpire for a reason (bad at sprot).

i though he umpired ok, did get one decision wrong, but really, 1 bad call doesnt warrant a serve like that, you could get coxy or frank brown to replace him... i know who id prefer... and he can sing too...
