25.01.2022 The Saturday Morning Message From The Club President Shit. Times have changed.... Just lobbed over to The Club to sneak a look at the Juniors game and overheard one little whipper snapper say. I’m not sure which of my three bats I should use today. Crickey, when I was a kid there was only ONE bat to choose from and The Club owned it. When I went in I grabbed it off the lad coming out. And when I went out I gave it to the lad coming in. Times were so much simpler then, Enough from me, just saw another kid who has 4 bats. Wow. Cheers Remember to tuck your shirt in The Club President

21.01.2022 Delete if not allowed - but here is whats happening in Moora Cricket.... Match Report Moora Knights v Bindi-Miling Rams The Moora Knights hosted Bindi-Miling ...on the lush expanse of the worlds largest cricket oval last Sunday, in a tightly anticipated rematch of their first round battle at Miling. Seriously how is anyone with custard arms and poor technique supposed to score a boundary in Moora.? (asking for a friend). With a full strength side, Moora was hoping to reverse their previous defeat and triumph over the in-form Rams, winning the toss and choosing to bowl. Captain J. Nugget Glover and the disturbingly youthful Dave Glover initiated the attack with a salvo of maiden and low-scoring overs against opening batsmen K Morton and T Keefe, achieving early success with D. Glover catching Keefe out, literally, caught and bowled for one. The pressure continued on the Rams as the Knight’s latest recruit, left-arm paceman J Hall who took up the attack from J. Glover in the 9th over. Fittingly, he instigated the world’s longest run-up on the world’s longest oval to deliver some of the quicker bowling of the match. Dave Glover changed with McGillivray who took H. Turner for 10, caught and bowled. K. Morton batted well, steadying the Rams with a solid eye and began to punish wayward bowling, taking his score to 49 before being caught by the handsy Ben McGillivray pulling to the boundary, putting the score at 3/79. Some poorer bowling resulted in lucky wickets and the Rams were looking shaky at 4/84 before Captain S. Turner and C. Mitchell steadied the ship, punishing short balls and taking the score to 5/140 before Hunter Evens bowled Turner on 28. The Knights pushed hard to move through the rest of the Ram’s order in order to claim the elusive got-you-all-out bonus point, but despite bringing D. "Dorian Grey" Glover back into the attack, were unable to dismiss all the Rams before the final ball. The first innings total for the Rams was 8/177. K. Morton 49, C. Mitchell 34, S. Turner 28. Bowling figures for the Knights J. Glover 0/3 off 4, D. Glover 1/18 off 9, J. Mullins 2/12 off 4. Chasing 177, the Knights needed a run rate of 3.93 for victory. Opening stalwart J. Mullins began aggressively punching two boundaries through point from short bowling by M. Mclean. Unfortunately, dot-ball-specialist and mature-age-recruit D. Gardiner was unable to trouble the scorers after a cheeky boundary through the slips cordon, producing 27 dot balls in a row, thanks largely to excellent bowling in the zone-of-death by M. Mclean and S. Turner. Tactical bowling from Turner saw Mullins depart for 11 in the 6th over, caught behind playing on off-stump after being forced back towards leg side for the previous 3 deliveries. Ben McGillivray strode purposely to the crease, displaying an alternative look of wearing your thigh-pads over your whites. This fashion faux-pa did not deter his scoring ability, and his attacking style-of-play saw the run rate lift substantially. This was fortunate, because Gardiner was endeavouring to let the scorers draw a column of tiny ants chasing a sausage in the score-book. Despite this, the Knight’s were on track to see off the opening bowlers and reach the required total after 45 overs. Except nobody told the Rams. Their second and third change of bowlers proved just as capable as their openers, with K. Millstead taking Gardiner LBW for 5 and Hunter Evens going for 2 off a ball by H. Turner that was so pretty I just had to watch it bowl me. Side-line opinions were mixed, but a common thought was that Evens was mesmerised by the 750m run up of Turner and possibly dozed off while waiting for him to reach the popping crease. B. McGillivray continued to push the score, reaching 47 before being caught behind off the left-arm bowling of H. Turner. A 45-run partnership between Hall and D. Glover renewed the attack and saw the Rams under pressure, and it looked as if the Knights would be able to reach their allotted target. However, despite the valiant efforts of the remaining batsmen, who took up the challenge to hit the ball hard and chase aggressively, the Knights were unable to make the final tally, being all out for 146 in the 40th over. Batting figures McGillivray 47, Hall 21, D. Glover 13. Bowling figures for Miling M. Mclean 0/22 off 7, S. Turner 2/6 off 5, H. Turner 2/13 off 6, K. Morton 2/15 off 4. The Knights travel away today to play Gingin for the first time this season, but there is always some quality cricket and entertainment to be had when they play at home. Come down for a relaxing sunday arvo sit and drink next time they play at home....
20.01.2022 The Saturday Morning Message From The Club President’s WIFE OMG I am married to a moron.... So I ask him to spend some time in the garden instead of spending so much time at the f#$&#ng Cricket Club. I mention something about my girlfriends having nice hanging baskets in their gardens. And then.. FFS...he goes and delivers me this (see picture) Some shitty old plant in a shitty old cricket helmet, hanging from a shitty old hook. OMG that man can’t do anything without including cricket shit in it. Enough from me. I’m out of here. I’m off for a skinny organic alpaca milk latte with the girls. That might ease my pain. Cheers Oh..and..leave your cricket shirts untucked, that really pisses him off. The Club President’s WIFE

16.01.2022 The Saturday Morning Message From The Club President OMG What a MSF (Monumental Shit Fight) I have witnessed this week.... It all started when The Treasurer decided to message all players telling them that they would not be selected if they had not paid their club fees, and that if they didn’t pay up then he would spew up. Well that created all sorts of calamity, some of the tradies just pulled some cash from their back pockets and paid up, others like the school teachers moaned about being underpaid and overworked. Some took it as a signal to organise a weekend off. Knackers said no worries, I’m going fishing. But things went EPS (Extra Pear Shaped) when the Chairman of Selectors decided to send out his own message STRESSING that all players needed to make themselves available so we could pick strong teams and get everyone qualified and ready for finals. Clearly players were confused by these contradictory messages So on Thursday I drop in to The Club - for my quiet Thursday night beer - only to be greeted by the Vice President, who takes time out from sucking on his Corona to announce, Prez, you need to sort this shit out. So I did. I told the Treasurer that there is more to life than paying bills, and I told The Chairman of Selectors to stop acting like he ran the joint. I then told all players that we would like them to play but they needed to make a morally correct decision to pay their subs as soon as possible. I then checked in with all of our really good players to make sure that they were playing. CA (Crisis Avoided) MSFS (Monumental Shit Fight Sorted) Enough from me, I need to get over there and see if those two dickheads are talking to each other yet.

07.01.2022 As I spent last week scoring for the E Grade side representing South Midlands Cricket Association at Men’s Country Week I thought I would do up a report for each game they played to share the many highlights I was lucky to witness. They really did do us proud
06.01.2022 Senior Representative Team Upcoming Carnival 1. Smash: will tee off from ball one...and keep teeing off.... 2. Play Straightus: Will defend his wicket like it is a heritage listed national treasure. Smash will get sick of him after 5 overs and accidentally run him out. 3. Living Legend: Association Run Machine. Will make runs for fun and make it look easy. Most team mates will do anything they can to spend time with him. 4. Tickets: Brash and cocky. Tickets will say arrogant comments like you all have front row tickets to my show. Living Legend will try to avoid him. 5. Promising Youngster: Might not be up to the level, but does play at same Club as Chairman of Selectors. 6. Brilliant Fieldsman: Average bat, average bowler, but will chase ball to boundary near end of Carnival when no one else can be bothered. 7. Old Soft Hands: Attending his 20th consecutive Carnival. Hands like silk, apparently has never ever missed a chance. 8. Oldfella Workhorse: Crafty old medium pacer. Will bowl endless overs up the hill and in to the breeze. Will drink the most beer at after matches. 9. Mad Prick: Bowls genuine heat but is as mad as a cut snake. Making a comeback after being banned from last Carnival. 10. Wise Old Off Spinner: Doesn’t turn it much but supposedly can out think any batsman in the country. Will also be put in charge of keeping Mad Prick under control. 11. Leg Spinner: Weird bloke. Will keep to himself. 12. Another Young Fella: Will definitely play later in the week, odds on to be replacing a suspended (maybe locked up) Mad Prick. 13. Talentless Hanger On: Loves the time away and hanging with the other lads. Will return saying he is everyone’s best mate. Coach and Manager: Intelligent older bloke who has a bus licence and some time off. Scorer: Absolute cricket tragic with nothing better to do.

And then to make it even even worse...they talk about f@#%ing Cricket all night. Really, lord have pity on me, that cricket dickhead can’t do anything without putting cricket shit in it. Anyway, enough from me, the girls have offered to console me. They’ve organised brunch at The House of Vegan. Can’t wait to tuck in to my organic, grass fed, free range, lentil substitute quiche.
