I know you want to claim some fame out of playing in the lower XI's at St.Kilda but serioulsy hardly that impressive. Johnno played a game this year, you have Rabbit playing, his 12 year old son is playing, numbers are pretty ordinary at St.Kilda. The Club Championship result is ordinary. Are the wheels starting to fall in the lower grades?

I think you go into the game as fav's, but Siddle, Pattinson and co have nothing to loose.....they will be awesome, the wicket will be fresh to, bit in it I hear. Should be interesting.

mate you know nothing.
a) our 3's made the finals in both the 2 day and one day comp. Our 4's just missed out on the one day final. Our 2's did have an ordinary year. Rabbit and jonno help out when we lose our aps blokes, and we had heaps of unavalabilities. i'm not claiming anything mate, its just cassius clay is being a tool attacking me. We got stripped of club championship points in the last round when 3/4 XI's won screwing up the fact that we would of finnished top 4, so if thats ordinary mate then you have pretty high standards. when you've got 2 under 19 and 3 under 17 state vics playing at the club and a young up and coming spinner tearing through teams atttacks in the 1's, can i suggest that the wheels probably aren't falling off.
i will no longer way into any debate. i'm out.

 

[Perty4]

Hope Dandenong can knock them off, so sick of the same old St Kilda 4 dominating each year.

Look for Petey Siddle to take 10 for the match and win BOG Honours.

And its Tom Donnell by the way. Remember that name.

Hmmm Frankston?

Where'd you get the idea I played for them, lol?

Thing is, are you even playing in the 3s? No, you're not.

again wrong. i played well over half my games in the 3's. probably be suggesting you get a life by this stage.
your really good at getting things wrong.

 

[nicho_magic]

wrong person, granted, i did realise this after i posted, couldn't be bothered editing. i guess you play 1's, if i find it highly amusing at the arrogance being shown. (note: playing south melbourne 1's doesn't count)

ahahhahaaha south melbourne can't play cricket ahhahaaha. if you play at south and i doubt you even play 1's, its the funniest thing i've ever heard. going out to casey must be fun. i nearly fell off the edge of the earth when i finally got out there.

Best playing surface in the comp. Facilities will draw a few players from the area. Just a shame that they are in the arse end of the world!

Havent been to casey yet. Nice ground though, pity cranbourne is a hole.

Try again 'nicho'.

 

[michael clarke]

Dandenong 5/100. Just rang up the junction to check the score.

 

[linger_isgod]

Sort-of live scores on cricket.com.au.

Looking as though Dandenong are doing their best impression of Fitzroy Doncaster in the final last year, batting very slowly. They bat pretty deep though. Be interesting to see how many overs Lalor bowls, heard he suffered a bit of an injury last week.

Hopefully the pitch still has a bit in it when Dandenong bowl. Oh, and it's a sad day in the umpiring fraternity when John Ward is allowed anywhere near the District Final.
