was watching an e grade game at sweeny 3 yesterday ,narre nth were about 240 odd(final score all out 358) narre warren was down to 10 players .the captain then placed a man (boy) at a very short square leg (junior u17/u15) to an e grade spinner and yes the kid did get hit in the side of the ribs with the cricket ball trying to get out of the way and that was not the funny part .the funny part was the kid fielded there for another 4 overs before he was moved to a safer place.
That captain is the knob of the highest order.
Not only is he a knob, he may have contravened the rules on junior fielding positions even though this was a senior fixture. See Rule 15.14 DDCA Senior Rules Hope he cops his whack from Nicko and Hawk.

Cranny player hits a 4 that went under the fence and into the carpark, umpire Rob Elliott signals 4, HSD fieldsman jokingly tells Rob the batsman ran 1 short, Rob consults with square leg ump for him to confirm 1 short run.
We got a official warning by the big fella Saturday for dipping our cups into the drinks container, we thought it was a joke but then when he described to us about Hepatitis then the laughter stopped.
A or B grade at frog hollow a few years back. Must have been a turf washout as we had Rex Carter umpiring. Anyway, day two about to get underway and our overnight batsman is not atbthe game yet. A phone cal confirms he is on his way. Captain takes us all into the rooms and we hide, waiting for our batsman and k owing it will take rexy 2 minutes to walk to the rooms to hurry us up. He eventually does so we send the other bat out, telling him to walk slow. He gets about half way and we see a car enter the carpark sideways. Car parks at square leg and our batsman jumps out of the car, padded up with bat in hand and meets his partner in the middle!
Also played a game in C grade when Lee Brown had to stop just short of his bowling stride as hus whites had fallen down past his knees.
We have another addition and probably with no surprise. Playing at Fountain Gate yesterday, Fewkesy gets caught, a one hander at mid on one of those that would go over your head if you went at it with 2 hands. Good catch no doubt but it was the "celebration" that went with it that was bemusing. Mid on at FG is about 40m from the goal line for footy and the posts were still up. Now if you took a catch of this ilk it is definately worth getting a little over zealous about, maybe throw the Kooka 20-30 metres in the air higher than you normally would or maybe a little bit of an aeroplane impersonation or even a chainsaw perhaps. No this player felt the need to swing around onto the right and proceed to drill it from 40 Darren Jarman style! Well someone had to get the ball so off he trudged to collect the aggot while his team mates were huddled congratulating the bowler and by the time he got back, the FG players were back to their positions and the game was back on. Congratulations............Andrew Lee.
was watching a game of turf five this year between m&ms and narre nth when a m&ms batsman hit a huge tommy that went into the houses a player from narre nth slowly climbed over the fence to retrieve the pill and you guessed it he moved quicker than cathy freeman ever could back over the fence for safety, aparently should have had a look for the 2 rot wheelers first well done A.Parker of narre nth , first game for new club too (new nick name woofa).

Facing the spinners one day without the lid on. Change of bowlers called and Drewy came on. 3 overs before tea so I thought i'd man up and keep the cap on. He then stood at the top of his mark and had a full blown conversation with the ball. Yelling at the bastard ! **** I knew he was quick but at this point I realised he was crazy...........
Was funny today in the Masters watching Sir Bowl the last over with HSD needing 12 to win last bat at the crease two edges in two balls on way to boundary Keeper at full stretch saving 8 runs and Sir blowing up about missed chances Wickers Home............

Lets get this story straight. Hsd need 12 or so to win off the last over with one wicket in hand. Im bowling and Pringles is keeping. My first ball with a hint of outswing is nicked and gone straight to Pringles whos dropped a dolly. Yes Im not happy at this stage, next ball exactly the same gone straight to Pringles again, and dropped another one, by this stage yes Im fuming. Anyway got my man next ball. The morel of the story is dont bowl when Pringles is keeping. Absolute shocker.

oh FT im real sorry to bore you with my dribble. Your another 1 with fuuccckk all of interest to post. You have been on this site a long time and still u bore us all shiitless.
Keep trying mate, just for once see if your imagination can think of something thats the slightest attempt at humour. This will no doubt be tuff work and no doubt your usual pisss poor response will come my way
FT was talking to Hoff and you replied, quite aggressively too. I just thought you may have replied using the wrong alias that's all. Perhaps an apology to the old bloke is in order.
