Fast bowlers would have loved u after cannoning into the velodrome!

Mate at 9/55 chasing 150 the quicks didn't give a rats ar$e about where the ball landed. The whole team was in fits of laughter watching him bowl.

for the record, first ball dot ball, second ball missed stumping, next ball massive straight hit for four, then a ball fell short to the bloke on the boundary in which the ran three haha and then amassive six lol and then a tidy dot ball to finish a magic over involving doosra's offies and the arm ball.

I've still got my first cap, which i wore until a few years ago, but it appears that my cap may have shrunk, or my head expanded, one of the two.

I need to wear long pants coz my pins need to stay in the shade.

I'm glad someone agree's with my lack of official policy on shirt tucking.

[CoverKing]

There needs to be a lot of TTFU on here ladies. Too many princesses playing in our comp. by the looks.

For starters, don't break your bloody arm. Sign of weakness.

Second, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to work out that an untucked shirt is a lot cooler than a tucked in one, therefore appropiate on a hot day. Also, if you sweat like a pig as I do, you cannot use your shirt to shine the ball if your shirt is tucked in cause it's wet. You will however see me with a tucked in shirt when bowling as it gets in the way. Wear your thigh pad inside your strides or our keeper will give you s***t all day and you're less likely to get caught behind off it. I'm all for wearing club caps and shirts but I don't care whether you wear shorts or long johns. I choose long johns to keep the sun off and a shirt tucked into shorts is only acceptable if its a fleecy shirt tucked into stubbies during middle of winter.

Our skip is pushing for us to all to buy new club gear after Xmas but I will not trade-in my 'lucky' cap from first game in 93/94 season. The sweat stains and mould are a sign of many years of toiling for the club. Priceless.

how has it been lucky?? premierships??
talk about princess mate not being able to shine the ball, bla bla bla!
and only speaking about the untucked shirts so farat the start of the season, when it has not been hot!

[Amateur Footy]

We batted in 2nd innings cause Mitchell Park wanted to keep going. They are sick of finishing games early in second week. That was actually what sparked the mutany as the Captain didn't want to go out. They voted and more were in favour so they went out to field.

Our quotient is crap either way, I don't see it as being as bigger issue as trying to get some batsmen in form and making runs which is what we were looking for. Didn't work tho.

No premierships, purely at personal level. Form has improved since I went back to the lucky cap at start of last season. If a ball doesn't swing would there be a pace bowler in our association that would trouble most decent batsmen - I don't think so. Care to retype your last sentence?

I will be surprised if he's still incharge after Xmas. Rob Drenthen is a good lad but when he's sick of something he certainly lets everyone know about it. Big Harry has a few headaches as Pres down there.

didnt u rock up to footy trainin this year on crutches after a bit of a bruised calf princess? i remember doing full oval drills in a cast towards the end of the season to try and get back in and play finals....BUILT FORD TOUGH as the add says...and i still cop a bashing everytime we cross paths yet i still agree to a bit of a wrestle on the piss with ya...stupid? maybe... tough? YES! haha

and nothing beats my baggy maroon i got from my dad for my 3rd birthday that i have worn in every game i have played for the club so far...nothing beats tradition

[jb]

i dont know what anyone else thinks but when someone on the other team has their shirt tucked out and not even trying to look like a cricketer then it irritates me and nothing frustrated me more than letting geeshy get away on the weekend...was actually quite depressing to watch, i guess were all brought up differently

that doesn't sound the best about mitchell pk. There is nothing worse than a team fighting between themselves it is very ugly to watch.

Look to be honest, i'm one fo those people that doesn't really give a rats about it.
It doesn't give you any extra points, doesn't give you any extra runs, doesn't give you bugger all.

Sport to me doesn't have much to do with how fashionable you look, unless you have a sponsorship with nike or adidas or something which i'm pretty sure doesn't happen all that often in ASCA.

I like to worry about the things that WILL actually make a difference, say for example, getting a few balls to land on the fukn pitch! That takes up a fair bit of my time...

Whilst your point may be true, you cant have a structured team competition whether it be cricket, footy, soccer etc, without proper uniforms (or cricket whites in our case).
As for the "tucked in shirts", our club's logo tops are actually made to be worn outside.
Personally, i'm more against players wearing footy shorts to play cricket but then i'm a traditionalist.

Handy to know that this stuff can actually irritate an opposition.
Can't say i take any notice of anyone elses attire unless its sticking out like dogs balls.

Eg pink shorts.

We've got 2 people that wear footy shorts, one has played for 20 something years at the club, and the other has played all bar one year (total 43 years) at the club, so i think we can let them slide!

[wycbloods]

it is only a certain someones thigh pad on the outside that annoys me. I don't mind the footy shorts.

there would be bowlers that trouble batters, ask JB the straight one gets him all the time ... and yes it obviously help with a ball that moves but theres players such as sampson, murphy, hopkins, j.mccormack that would and do get wickets without swing. From my experience playing with and against j.mccormack he does not swing the ball he cuts it and bowls in the right areas for a long period of time, and thats how he banks on getting his wickets! that fair call JB, Jibba, the sarge??
having ur shirt tucked in doesn allow u too shine the ball, lol ur hilarious AF!!!

footy shorts dont annoy me at all, the thigh pad and the untucked shirts annoy me! i just think its lazy and an attitude thing, but at the same time it isnt the end of the world, just a thing i thought i would see everyone elses view on.

yeah thats a fair call, thats why j.macca would be such a successfull turf bowler by bowling in good area's with decent wheels and hitting the seam hard...but at the other end of the scale u got cookie bowling about the same pace if not quicker and hooping them...just ask the hunter....there is no way in the world geeshy would have hacked j.macca for 75...

[Roseboy]

Predictability is the thing with bowling swing. If it swings as soon as it leaves the hand and that's your only ball, you'll be put over the fence once the batsman has his eye in.

Unless you can mix up your length, pace and amount of swing, its useless.

Having said that, as a low-order batsman, swing is the thing that usually undoes me as I don't get the feet going for ages... if ever!

This is one reason why Mark O'Malley still takes so many wickets he can swing the ball a very long way but he also is a very clever bowler and changes up his bowling very well all while hitting a very good spot.

There was no joke in there champ. If you were a Rambler I'd teach you how to shine a ball. Without it I'd be chucking pies...

Hopkins gets wickets with outswing. Murphy used to get them with pace, now not sure how he gets em really. Never had the pleasure of facing McCormack and I dunno what Sampson bowls. Drenthen is more dangerous than those blokes anyway - if he's on target. Pace and swing. If McKinley learnt to swing a ball he'd be a superstar in our comp. Never seen a bowler who can repeatedly cut the ball on hard wicket but I'd agree it's better than swing.

And Giersch can hit a ball. Have been on the receiving end myself this year. Two sixes over cover is never a great way to start the first spell of the day. 20/20 was worse.
