If I was an opposition skipper, I'd rather him be making the decisions than 2-3 others in the side. Just saying..
And yet the record books will forever show that skipper making 70 odd in one of the best pressure innings/captains knock you'll ever see to win his team a Premiership & he'll now forever be a Premiership Captain, how many other skips did that this year in Div 1? Go grab a hanky & wipe ya chin GH cos you're dribbling shit yet again....just saying

You make this sound so epic like its never been done in the history or cricket, I think when people look at the 'record books' I think you will find a better captains effort came from Richy Marshall when he made 120 in a GF when his side were 3/20 odd, not to mention his partner Jon Smith who also made 130, and he backed it up the year after making 60 odd in the following grand final, when you have a record like that come back and have a chat, as for dynasty's hotpies, well i'd say you have at least 1 going at your affiliate Mawson Lakes, and thats choking out in finals!![/quote]
yeah but Krafty, dont you know who Sir Richard Marshall is???? he is the greatest cricketer the SACCCA has seen, if not i suggest you ask him....so we expect that from Sir Richard Marshall.
choking out in finals? what you on about? i would say finishing top and being promoted up to a division isnt a bad thing, fair enough they lost the GF, but a club that gets promoted after spending so many years in Div 7 would still be a successfull year for any footy club?[/quote]
course we know who he is, I believe the plan is to unveil his statue at our first home game this year
Back to the choking, correct me if I'm wrong but you were 'stuck' in div 7 for many years because of repeated under performance in big games, aka: finals!! seem to remember a final against houghton to which you bowed out quite easily after being above them most the year, following year a lot of talking the talk lead to another bow out of the finals in pretty easy fashion and to top it off last year after winning direct entry, pretty sure you got a pasting on the big occasion. Riddle I presume when you say 'we got it' it can mean you finally achieved something, so you can have your promotion for being runners up or 'the first losers' and talk that up as much as you like.
that aside as its in the past, all the banter is shaping up for a promising cricket season with a bit more rivalry now, just from my perspective, yes there was hostitlity on the field as both teams play the game hard but have you heard anyone from vista say rose park didn't deserve to win?? yes there was reference to the ground being a postage stamp and I believe the best reference there is that its not so much a postage stamp, more just got the outfield similar to a lawn bowls field!! Krafty personally applauds rose park on an outstanding season but seriously, move on!!
caatch.
good to see you can still play and have fun after retirement wears off. beers should be cold by the first round mate.
), so some peanut will be up in arms with whatever we say or whoever we have a crack at because they can relate it back to you or I. Or, just like this over-politically correct world we live in, some clown will just take offense, even when you're not having a crack. 
Cest la vie!
