At 34, Suranjith Silva knows he is past an age where he can make a strong claim for a place in the national side as a legspinner. The nearest he came to gaining national recognition was when he toured with the national Under-24 team to South Africa in 1998, subsequently leading to a call-up to the A team and a place in the national pool.

Having missed out on opportunities to win a national cap, Silva's next best achievement was to captain his club Lankan CC to honours. He has achieved this feat twice - leading them to the Premier Limited Overs title in 2007-08, and after missing the 2007-08 season because of his commitment to Springvale South Cricket Club in the Melbourne district, he returned for the current season to lead Lankan CC to the Tier B crown.

Silva attributes the victory to the presence of seven experienced cricketers in the side, who have played a combined total of over 100 first-class matches, as well as the high team spirit which they were able to maintain right throughout the season. Lankan CC finished the season unbeaten with four wins (and five draws). If there was a match they came close to losing, it was against Sebastianites Cricket and Athletic Club, whom they eventually beat by 101 runs.

"Having secured a narrow 12-run first innings lead, we lost six wickets for 88 in our second innings and we were in danger of defeat," said Silva. "But the late order showed great character and fight to take us to 226 from where we were able to turn the match around in our favour."

Silva, who is also an ECB Level II qualified coach, divides his time playing six months of domestic cricket and six months in the English leagues. Last year he appeared for Old Whitgiftians CC in the Surrey League.

Alot of peanuts not in the know bag Goochy.........but outside been a loyal and hard working club men he is performing well for MM.

He has nearly 200 runs @ 31 a piece which has him 2nd for the MM in turf2 for aggregate and averages as well as been the leading wicket taker with the 2nd best avg demonstrates his importance to that club...........then add the fundraising he does off his own achord shows the character of a good mand and club men.

Yes Craig. I was called "scum" and "the lowest form of a cricketer".

All because I hit some sixes against someone who is apparently a superstar. This same guy also called Thomsy (laughably) a "fcking cheat".

To be fair, some of their lads were fine after the game and had a beer (Goodes seemed a nice bloke) but it got silly out there for a while. You have to be pretty desperate for a ruckus to get in an argument with me on a cricket field. I normally find laughs in any situation!

I hope Cranbourne win it now.

League stalwart Dougy Louden hit the ball down to the boundary where Shane Goldfinch caught it and went close to the line. I couldn't tell but I heard Shane say 'Thats six' So I shouted so to the umpire. It turns out Shane said 'That sick' ie he was talking about his (average!) catch that he took. Anyway, Thomsy was right next to Shane and said to the umps that he definitely caught it well inside only for this bloke to shout over to Thomsy - the straightest guy I have ever met - 'you are a ****ing cheat'
I shouted over how he was out of order and how dare he talk about Thomsy like that etc and it all got a bit heated. It was tea soon after and I went to straighten out the situation with who I thought said it but it turns out I said it to the wrong guy.

Anyway I went out to bat and this guy came back on to bowl at me and their skipper said to him 'one slip ok?' The bowler said 'ok, but I'll need 6 soon the way these are batting'. So I went down the track first ball and put him 40 yards out of the ground and on doing so told him to 'take your one fking slip out and try again'
He didnt seem to like this. Especially when I did it next ball as well. That's when I started to cop all the abuse.

It made it all quite interesting but yes, it all stemmed from him calling Thomsy - possibly the leagues best and fairest - 'a fkin cheat'.

A few funny things were said yesterday at Silverton too. Fair to say someone isn't in love with DDCA umpires at the moment.  Fair dinkum carried on more than a little kid.

Finchys catch was ordinary mate. Trust him to think it was 'sick'

No Mick it was a guy called Dougy. Oldish guy. I spoke with Goodse after the game and he seemed a great bloke just like his cousin.
