Bourbons = Tears of joy.

Bit of emotion never hurt anyone Oz.

Good form by Hope Valley coach today, abusing the Flinders Uni Cricket Club after the game with 'reported' comments like "You need your heads kicked in" and "Your a disgrace, grow up". Excellent comments considering the only time the Flinders boys made any noise was when McAlister reached his ton! Well done mate 0 from 2 for the day.

Sounds like a good appointment having a club leader allegedly making those type of comments to the opposition or to anyone for that matter.
Maybe the latter applies to himself.

Not good form if true.

Efficient, are the Valente brothers still playing out there?

Flinders Uni boys have been known to "let the halo Slip a bit" over the years....
There are some good competitors there, but there is also some "ordinaries"..

In saying that, the above reaction is a bit ordinary if true..!!!!

We have had several decent stouches on the field with FUCC over the last couple of years, but having said that, they are generally the first blokes to hang around and have a beer and a laugh after the game.

Can you shed any light on the game Azza?

Pete still plays As, while Luke is skipper of the 2s. Im the first to admit that FUCC havnt exactly been model citizens over the past few years, but we made numerous comments during the day about how timid and well behaved we were! Few fellas returning from 5 or so years ago may have assisted with the maturing of the side.

The FUCC boys quiet and timid, must of been a sight. I wonder if it will continue for the rest of the year?

nice change in your post there adding "reported" , dont come on here shooting your mouth off over something that "may" have been said or you have heard third hand, doesnt do you or the accused any favours. On the game i thought the game was played in good spirits , and to be quite honest you would not have heard anything out of us as we where disappointed that we let the game slip as we did, well done to mcalister , batted very well and throughly deserved his ton !

And on another note "if" these comments where actually said, i sure we have all been called worse than what was "reported" to have come out of his mouth , are you sure your nickname at the club isnt princess?

How are AHOS looking Rainbow Warrrior? Heard there has been an influx of Sri Lankans to the club? Any up to A1 standard apart from Doon and Tilly?

Gday mate. Nice to hear from you. Hope all is well.

Yes a lot of Sri Lankans and quite a few of them look to be able to play. THere is one left hander who can bat and bowl's Jayasuriya spin who we wthink is going to be excellent although he cant play this week. A few other Sri Lankans are decent although think they want to play with each other. Many have a great deal of potential.

Also a very good quick bowler who knows Stoker rocked up out of the blue last night and will start in the Bs but am comfortable in saying he will be in the A's in no time. Looked very good. See how he goes in the B's.

We'll be alright, only blokes we lost are yourself and Ozzy and have a few early injuries but got Jimmy Rankin back too so should be an interesting season. I am backing us in early and think we will do well. Few schoolboys in the 2's too (Chiller and his mate) who have potential as well.

Good luck for you for this week too, look forward to catching up some time and see how all is going in your ventures.

Hoochy

We gave AHOS a bit of a hiding on Saturday in the A3's. From my point of view it was simply a reflection of the difference in experience between the two sides. The AHOS lads looked quite handy with the ball, but as a general rule bowled too short on a deck that was a bit soft. They also gave us too many extras (wides was the top scorer with 32!) & our lads were patient enough to wear them down & post a good score. Then our lads bowled very full & straight & were rewarded with 6 bowled & 3 lbw's (one of which admittedly was an absolute stinker!), while the AHOS bats weren't patient enough.

Well down to our old boys Skrokers (6/23) and Big Al who took a hat trick.

The game was played in good spirits & I hope your lads do well for the rest of the year RW. If they learn quickly I'm sure they'll do alright. I reckon the best prospect with the ball was the Sri Lankan offie who bowled very accurately & gave them a good rip. Not sure any of the quicks are quite ready for A1 just yet but looked promising - as I said before they just need to bowl a bit fuller, particularly when the deck is offering them some assistance.

Thanks mate. Selections for the B's was tough. A grade had injuries, C grade have bloeks who dont want to or webelieve would not do better thigher up and the B's were very light on batsmen and had too many bowlers. Hopefulyl this week we will ahve more bloeks available. Agree re the spinner he has played a good level of cricket and we wanted to see how he went first. Sounds pomising. Poor Stoker as well getting the captaincy of the Bs for now not being keen. Too many bloeks from the Bs leaving after last seasons flag and being stuck i nA3 are a bit light on. Hopefully they can learn from that game and with a couple of additions hopefully improve and start getting wins o nthe board. Skrokov is a good bowler and bloke. Not surprised he dominated.

How does the Brighton Pitch hold up after a bit of rain.
We are playing u blokes there this week any chances of a days play

I don't know about Saturday at this stage. Brighton can take a fair bit of water during the week & still be a great track, but once it hits a critical point it can go from being-a-great-track to being-called-off-for-the-day pretty quickly. There isn't really an in-between.

I wasn't at training last night so don't know how it is progressing. If Thursday & Friday are reasonably clear we should be okay, but the forecast isn't looking good.

Have my reasons for the change, but I suppose the vibrations detected by the ear being turned into nerve impulses that move to the temporal lobe is 3rd hand

Game was played in excellent spirits, hence why we were quite angered by what happened and could have been worse in a different situation, or if a couple of players didnt decide to stay in the rooms until things had cooled.

Anyway, over it and look forward to Modbury!

What are everyone's grounds looking like? Any chance of play?

[interested observer]

What are everyone's grounds looking like? Any chance of play?

Very unlikely I would say..
More rain to come tonight apparently..
Would expect it all called off..

Probably fairer if everyone gets called off.

Oh well, at least the bar takings will be higher than average tomorrow!
