[THE ECLIPSE]

I think i know what Goolwa's Acheivment problem is!

Does it start with R and end in B, and stands in the slips looking inconspicuous, offering very little to the side until there is a forum around.

[ROCKYB]

What the,i offer heaps now and then i get the bowlers hat and give it to the umpire.

[damian]

If anyone who thinks that Goolwa should of called Nashy back ,well you are all full of shite as if you would of done this if you were playing,as i said before DOYLE IS A PAID UMPIRE and we did say to him that it was NOT OUT when he called DEAD BALL but he said that it was his decision and he was out ,WHAT MORE DO WE HAVE TO DO. Beg that Nashy to come back out of club house and keep batting ,next time you guys go up for an appeal for a caught behind when u know the batter did not hit the ball and is given out well U had better ask him to come back and keep batting and overide a PAID UMPIRES DECISION and belittle him in front of everyone

Here's a question for anyone on the forum, (not just Rocky). Is it true that for an umpire to give a batsman out there must be an appeal from the fielding team?

You say that you all knew that he wasn't out, yet someone still broke the stumps, and atleast one person must've appealed or else Doyley wouldn't have had to make the decision.

I also read another comment regarding there must be a deviation or irregular bounce for a dead ball to be given. Earlier in the season I was at the non-strikers end when my partner nicked one to 1st slip off the concrete. Doyley gave him out! I politely questioned it, and he quoted that exact rule. So he is aware of it and still called it a dead ball, so there must've been a deviation.

There was no appeal as Nash was still at the strikers end so was clearly short of his ground, Doyley called "dead ball" then raised his finger. It was asked "how can it be a dead ball and out?" to which he replied "you can get run out off a dead ball". Goolwa played the bowl as there was no call of dead ball until the run out had been made. The ball did not deviate at all. So looking back and from what i have read on here about the rules, the ball, because it did not deviate by hitting the middle of the pitch, it should not have been called a dead ball.

Either way, tell me why Nash would not make up his ground?? Bit dumb if you ask me.

[ROCKYB]

Damian dont worry about it ,lets just get the runs and make it 4 in a row and march into the finals as the inform team,come on boys we can do this and stick it up them,GO GOOLWA

an appeal is the act of a player on the fielding team asking an umpire for a decision regarding whether a batsman is out or not.
According to the Laws of Cricket, an umpire may not rule a batsman out unless the fielding side appeals.

There have been occasions when a batsman has otherwise technically been out, but the fielding team neglected to appeal so the umpire did not declare them out. An appeal may be made at any point before the bowler starts his run-up for the next ball.

I have seen times in international cricket where there has not been an appeal and the umpire hasn't even raised his finger, times like when both batters are standing at the same end of the pitch like in this instance, or when a player is caught in the field, it is just clear it is out. Not saying that rules doesn't exist, i'm sure it does, but not every wicket is appealed for.

[Moose22]

By convention, dismissal decisions are handled primarily by the players - thus if the dismissal is obvious the batsman will voluntarily leave the field without the umpire needing to dismiss them.

If the batsman and fielding side disagree about a dismissal then the fielding side must appeal to the umpire who will then decide whether the batsman is out.

In competitive cricket, many difficult catching and LBW decisions will be left to the umpire; if a batsman acknowledges that he is out in such cases and departs without waiting for the umpire's decision it is known as 'walking', and regarded as an honourable but controversial act.

If the umpire believes he has incorrectly dismissed a batsman, he may recall him to the crease if he has not already left the field of play.

Cut and Paste there Moose?? Give us some Moose insight into this week's games.. McLaren's 135 defendable??

[Moose22]

The moose thinks that 135 is a difficult total to bat for. Over the years I have seen many sides struggle to reach low totals like this.

It will be up to the McLaren bolwers, they have the capability to bowl consistantly good line and length.

Many games i have seen Willunga being "too patient" and showing too much respect for the bowling (if that is possible, i think most players know what i'm talking about)

The Key is Peek... If he falls early then it is goodnight willunga. He is the in form batsman and the wicket that every bowler loves to get. I know Duncombe has got him a few times with his glorious displays of pie chucking.

I don't know if the early wicket of Elliot was an advantage or not in this situation.... I overheard a discussion between B. Wilson and another McLarens player regarding this topic.

To conclude: Yes i agree that it is defendable, "runs on the board" as they say. The Demons still need to get them! McLaren will do there best to denie Willunga any chance to have a sniff of 2010 finals fever.

[Offcutter]

Very comprehensive summary there Moose. Your ability in interepreting cricket laws and providing opinion is a breath of fresh air.

Will the state of the McLaren Vale oval have a bearing on the run chase? I know Les Burdett ... um... I mean the guy that lives in the training sheds there.. has been absolutely pumping the water into the ground over the past couple of weeks.. pretty green and lush at the minute!

Brucey is a good bloke but has anyone noticed that he batts like Greggy Mail????

[Offcutter]

I knew a Greg Mail joke was just around the corner.. haha

[Moose22]

classic!

[a.chucka]

Willunga... you are the weakest link... goodbye!


Blocka Wilson to take 5 including Peek

Willunga proved too good for McLaren today!

[Mutley]

Ha ha!!! Mount compas got up over goolwa. Nothing sweeter for Nashy and the boys. Does this end Goolwa's finals chances for yet another season? After the debacle and poor sportsmanship of last week Nash took 5 for 50. The cricket gods speak once again!

After last weeks cries about unsportsmans like behaviour, you would've thought Nashy would've showed some today. The guy is an absolute clown.

Compass, well done on getting the win, you can thank Nash for his work with bat and ball, but he's still a wanker.

Bailey the only one who showed any real form with the bat making 49. Spurls chipped in with a quick 36 but really needed to stay around for longer. Drake and Lawrence made a 50+ run tenth wicket partnership but the game was the best part of gone.

All the pies can do now is finish the year with a win, have a kick of the footy and look forward to the 2010/11 season.

Going to be an interesting finals series to watch.
