NEK all out for 109 .. couple of guys copped abit of sledging from one MR MARSHALL....
not a good day with the bat from us but thats cricket, we normally do that in the first final.
so hopefully we have put that curse to rest and play to our full potential in the prelim.
back to MR MARSHALL........SECOND BALL DUCK , caught and bowled by a diving (haha) baldo......
revenge is sweet sometimes.
now they need 31 to win and we need 4 wickets for less than that ........will be a good finish whoever wins.
really bad shots played by both teams .

in defence of the hair machine model Richard Marshall, yes it may seem like he got a bit of pie in his face on the weekend.
However I think scoring 120 odd in a grand final against your mob on its own qualifies the bloke to be able to say what he wants, let alone the fact he backed up the year after with 60 odd in the grand final against roys. Fair to say he's got the runs on the board to compared to the blokes he was dishin it out to. As I wasn't there, can you confirm that the bloke he was giving stick to was Gatt? From what I've been told by guys that played smasha the feeling from both teams is that it felt like both teams didn't really care, that the game was just a formality to the first final so like you said blokes didn't value there wicket when batting, care to weigh in on that one....

I saw a few hours of that game (can't rely on my contacts & my own knowledge of the talent with the Association, afterall.. ), and it's fair to say that both teams looked like they were playing a T20 match, and not a 2 dayer. 'There for a good time, not a long time' seemed to be the motto, with both teams on a mission to see who's batting line-up could self-destruct the quickest. The biggest plus for PV was the ominous return of The Hulk. Looked solid and the most composed & in control of all the batsmen across both sides during his stay at the crease. But the common theme from both camps is that they were looking towards the first week of Finals and not placing a great deal of significance on this round's result. Probably wouldn't have been my philosophy or approach, but I'm just old & cynical...

It's a shame that outright points are no longer 12 for a win, as Fitzroy are a good chance of chalking up an outright against Seaton at home, which would've made an interesting sub-plot to the last round, particularly if Adel Luth fall in a heap against the rampant Rose Lakes at Casa Da Postage Stamp this week. But alas, it's just a lousy 6 for the win, regardless of outright or not. Although Harry & his boys are half a chance of sneaking into 4th spot if they bat on and make an additional 500 AND nab the outright AND Adel Luth fold for about 50........ Fire up Auto!!!!

I agree with Goat Herder. Pull your head in you batsman at the NEK vs Vi$ta match. Bat properly.

think it was about two or three of our batsmen krafty....
gatty was one of them but he brings that upon himself. we have a go at gatty he is just that sort of person..
dont get me wrong , MR MARSHALL is a great bat and I never take him lightly, I take pride in taking his wicket and any top order batsmen. I dont have a problem with any vista lads , they play the game the way I play. play hard and at the end we always have a chat and sometimes a beer, but when the game starts all I see is another batsmen as I would think they think the same way.
play to win . and then drink and have a laugh at the end.
MARSHALL is a great player as most of vista is also, just saying it was sweet revenge getting him out cheaply after he was saying a few words to one of our batsmen that was not out at the end, hoddo was the unluckiest blokes on the day ,
absolutely smashed the ball and for pistol to hang onto it was unreal (bad luck hoddo)
smithy also unlucky being caught at point by a one hand catch glad I didnt have to move . just stuck the hand out and there it was...........as we are all saying this game is really for nothing as we dont care where we play the final.
will be a good finish to the regular season and then retirement from a grade for me........going to play b grade and have some fun from next season.....or maybe turf one day comp....pooraka one day comp has a couple of old fellas that I know and play indoor with so maybe.........

If this is the bloke i think it is then he is the most full of himself player i have come across.

Sorry mate i just thought i would put something up to talk about, guess we better just go back to talking about how good Holland is!

OK then, How well did he captain in the SAMCA match

[Goat Herder]

Did this Marshall guy involved in the sledging play District cricket at any level?

Yep, TTG.

I think it's hilarious the flack being thrown his way over a few mind game words! Half you blokes wouldn't survive in District cricket, or even the top few divisions of ATCA. Talk about soft, go and book yourself an appointment with a social worker to work through the psychological implications of hearing those 'nasty words' - or conversely, I've said it before, I'll say it again, somebody call the waaaaaaaaaambulance!

Man, what I wasn't called when I made my senior grade cricket debut in the mid-80's...?!?? It's part of the game, so kindly HTFU lads!!

PS; Not having a crack at you either FW..

Definitely not mate, you're well 'ard..

Now Mr Header i am on your side most of the time as i love your philosophy on cricket and how to improve as a person and a player, but there is a time and place to sledge. I have always thought that you have to know when it is time to shut the gob and just let the runs do the talking. Nah stuff em, Marshall is the greatest thing since sliced bread, plus he plays for Vista, so hes alright!

I know you love me. You're so transparent.

Sledging just leaves you wide open if you can’t back your gob up, no doubt about that. That’s the beauty of sport and how it’s such a great leveller. Richie has more than backed his gob up over the years, but occasionally ya end up with a bit of egg onya face. Such is the nature of 'chirping' hey? Karma can sometimes be a beeyartch….

[Goat Herder]

Poor form with a follow up post, I know ( ), but provided the sledging isn't personal, it's just gamesmanship being played out. I used to play with a bloke (Cougs will know who I'm referring to.. ) who used to get real personal with his sledging, and that's where it crosses that line between what's acceptable and what's not. Funnily enough, the lower you get in grades, the more personal and unacceptable the sledging seems to be. It's basically a lack of respect for the game itself and your opponent, which is just bullshit.

Otherwise, if the sledging is amusing or non-personal, and you're worried about what they're saying and not what you supposed to be concentrating on, that'd be mission accomplished I reckon.

[runmiser]

Just sitting back and watching the discussion re: sledging...and I agree. The sledge must be amusing not personal.

The funniest (and most effective) sledge I ever heard was in our Semi-Final last year. We were in the field, the bowler approaching his mark when our young bloke fielding at mid wicket started waving his arms and held us all up. Pointing at the batsmans legs, with a concerned tone in his voice, he the promptly informed him that he had his pads on the wrong legs. This caused utter confusion for the poor bugger. You could see it on his face as he inspected his lower limbs. Have I? I thought it doesn't matter? Does it matter? What if it matters? He lasted two more balls. No abuse. No poor language. Plenty to ponder. Mission accomplished.

[carey]

NO ONE and i mean NO ONE sledge's better than Boxhead.....

[The Real Number 3]

You idiot. I just like talking shit, otherwise it's boring

[Phantom Gossiper]

You idiot. I just like talking shit, otherwise it's boring

Agree totally there mate!! With both points

[auto]

People who cry over sledging need to give the game away FFS. As for Richie Marshall, he's more hairdo now than man. And if anyone thinks that Marshall is the best thing since sliced bread they're pulling their dicks, we all know thats Rob O'Gorman.

[carey]

No one else on here can say they've been in Sir Ritchies pants!

Smasha, can you pm me the name of the lad from seaton who wanted to dance with you in the carpark. Reason i ask is the superperm got asked out for a dance as did another fella.
