I've had it confirmed bystander...

i could have the order wrong but this is the confirmation i got

bystander = dingo ingerson
white knight = Michael Rodda

[bystander]

You've already worked out who biggles is, I have no idea who White Knight is, and i'm none of the above, here's a clue: played in the A's last year, mainly B's this though!!!

Mick Smith

[bystander]

We have a winner, well done WCP!!

[another grub]

now wcp.... this is my mail on the events involving captains Lock and Smith....
The ball went into a drain and was hard to retrieve.... after several attemps the ball was finally retrieved in an unplayable state. Tony Lock advised the SES umpire at the time of the conditon of the ball and asked to change it.... reply was "Your the captain , do what ya like".... so ball was then swapped over. Lock was quizzed by Smith at the boundry and advised what was happening.
Under the law if a ball has been changed the umpire has to notify the fielding captain and the batsmen in the middle.... the batting captain is notified at an appropriate time (eg drinks break, break in play etc.).
So there we have the associations version and all over. Skin Myers is the only one that wanted to take it further, the SES B boys didnt give a rats. If you get bowled by Tony Lock I dont think you should be playing the game anyway......... End of subject wcp.
Talked the GM round into giving u the award this week middy... might be worth a schooey to me??? (starting to sound like the GM)
Welcome Mick ....look forward to your input....

one thing can be attained there another grub, the ball was definately playable, in no way was the ball absorbed with moisture and the seam retained in perfect condition.
all that was required was the ball to be wiped with a rag and the job was done, but to take the law into your own hands dont go down well in this ere town.
Another aspect of the game was on souths part the blatant inability to umpire, and anyone forced to play on the primary school oval the game should be abandoned and directions pointed to the closest watering hole.

[another grub]

only going on what the association know magpie.... grounds are crap.... but then again u only have to look at the qaulity of Bgrade cricket and then u understand.

[bystander]

I think like all things in this town, give it a few days and there'll be 14 different stories doing the rounds!

[westcoastpanther]

like the SES group hug after we beat Tasmans. Where did that come from? Had Robbie Madden out at Wangary on Saturday saying he had driven all the way out there to see our group hug. WTF!!!!!! Grub?

[WCE]

Any news on the FOOTBALL side of things? Any potential ins/outs? WT - have u signed with anyone?

[lincoln magpie]

i think the leauge need to seriously take a good hard look at what the standard of B grade is like and have a serious think about where cricket is heading, no B grade due to players dropping out through lack of interest and commintment means no back up support for A grade, hence no Port Lincoln cricket.

[WhiteTips]

thats why you dont play cricket anymore right grub?? standard not high enough for you?

WCE - havn't signed anything, get back from holidays start of january so will be keen to sort out something then so can start pre-season!

[another grub]

alright linc magpie... tips - not having a go at the standard!!! Bgrade cricket these days is for Old fellas or those who missed out on As (not good enogh), if any good juniors finish colts and have the slightest ability they will play As straight away. These guys have got to realize the limted ovals that are available and their ability. I Loved playing B grade cricket, good laugh. Just said the qaulity doesnt seem to be there to be complaining about the ovals... Rav will be up and running nexy season hopefully... think the assocuiation do a great job with the grounds.....

[westcoastpanther]

Locky's replacement ball had electrical tape on one side I heard

[lincoln magpie]

if sudsy sellen comes out of retirement, will have to counter that and bring out the big guns in Johnny Beezel Ross.

[WhiteTips]

Gurb - perhaps you could make a come back and take over the captaincy from Tony Lock...you could put that passionate speech into play and start resurecting the B grade comp

[another grub]

somebody told me Johnny Ross could bowl a good inswinger ... can anyone confirm?
wt - start resurecting the Bgrade comp... what is wrong with it? fellas out having a hit and a laugh on a Sat, good luck to em'.
wcp - and it was a new ball as well!!! next thing you will say is that Hank was chucking the ball aswell!!!!! lol

[bystander]

at this rate i may have under estimated at 14, could be more like 30!!! lol!!!
