choo, no names no packdrill was in context of you threatening to send a cherrio. unfortunately can't elaborate on here what you shld not repeat because that would give the bloodhounds a scent.

You really are iron brains aren't you....I don't know what you are referring to man, who did I say would do what and didn't?....gee whiz.

ok choo, you're starting to blow the ol soot out the funnel again so i'll calm you down. you mentioned dj among the bowlers that dandy west would have to contend with when he was never going to bowl because of a slight side strain picked up in the previous match. he was being saved for the gf. he bowled like the wind at training this evening in a sensational 50-minute spell bruising the hands of two batsmen who might struggle to pull on the gloves on saturday, and another who is talking a couple of octaves higher thanks to swollen nuts. kuru and him make for an interesting opening combo.

hands ok. tough lot. but you've got one thing wrong again!

anyway, looking forward to the weekend. just hope the rain stays away and the conditions are the same for both sides.

interesting situation with vertically challenged fisherman's side?

T1 GF finely balanced, tks to magnificent DJ-Toddy partnership for Noisy lot.

An aside: when was the last time the batting side in a T1GF had to make three starts over three days to complete its first innings? Overcast conditions Sat-Sun no boubt favoured the bowlers, making the abovementioned partnership all the more meritorious. Just look at all the scores in other matches.

Some highlights so far: DJ-Todd partnership; bowling of Choo Choo look-alike Bence; Bloodhounds hallmark 7-2 defensive field from early on which may have bottled up run scoring but denied them wicket-taking (ie bowled/lbw) deliveries with too many pitched outside off stump (and a fair few by quite a margain); good umpiring by the twin blue and black M&Ms (Moose/Medima) to recognise this, as well as other decisions including when to come off and when to resume play; entertaining community radio commentary team with subtle repartee between Choo and TGO. Captains of two finalists last year did not let their obvious disappointment get in the way of fair and generous apportioning of praise for participating finalists.(However, why the obsession with wanting Connellan to bowl because of some perceived Toddy weakness against spin when no spinner has dismissed him?) Keysie clubmen's great job with the covers; Keysie igloo providing excellent value for money $5 roast beef in gravy buns; Keysie canteen charging $4 for very dead hotdog rolls for finals when most clubs charge $3 during the year; is that finals goughing?  Keysie ground's good wicket and beautiful outfield; premier player from another comp seen in deep conversation with recruiter from top DDCA club; could he be an early coup?

Speaking of recruiting, note to lying senior official of certain club: $14 grand a year for one gun does not assure you promotion. you can only hope that the second promised $14k will ensure your man can stand up when it counts next season.
