The Prez’s Piece Darren Linton

A busy November off the field has helped to offset some disappointments on field. Training numbers have fallen slightly, so we'd appreciate a bigger effort to attend practice and I can assure you the positive results will start to flow both for the club and the individual. Wearing your Parkfield gear to practice adds a little bit of pride and professionalism. For those that don't have any Parkfield gear contact myself, Couttsy or Shane Doig. (Numbers are on the notice board and on the Parkfield website) The white Parkfield shirts have arrived and look the part. Make sure you get one.

Also, remember to get back on Saturday nights for match reports and support those who have done well. Prizes are awarded so it's worth your while. Joker Poker is worth entering too with first prize nudging $500 and tickets costing only $2.

Off field has been fantastic. The Melbourne Cup was a magnificent day and topped off with our greyhound, Parkfield Pirate saluting the judge. Thanks to Geoff Milnes, Peter Baker, Marcus Coutts, David Ford, Bob & Phil Butler, Dale Harris, Rick Price, David Payne and everyone else that contributed to a successful day.

Thanks again to David Ford for organising the Sandown Greyhound Challenge. A great day was had by all who attended and a nice little profit made. I'm sure all would agree that this would be worthwhile making into an annual event.

I know it slipped into December but we must also mention the $1000 draw which combined with the Juniors v Masters game made for a fun filled and exciting day. Thanks to David and Alyce for manning the bar all day, Bek and Cath for the awesome beef rolls, Doddsy, Ty and my daughters Ebony and Ruby for hosting the draw. Swiz, Steve and Tony Payne for organising the match and Tony for co-ordinating the draw and filling in for me when I had to leave early.

Christmas is around the corner and don't forget our big Xmas party after round 6 on Saturday December 22nd at the clubrooms. Details will be posted shortly. Round 3 of 20/20 at Parkfield v Southern Pirates has been rescheduled for Wednesday December 12th and will be our last game so get along and support the boys. And don't forget that Round One has been rescheduled for Turf 1 and Turf 4 on Sunday December 16th.

Thanks again to Swiz for his amazing work on the Parkfield press, Juniors, selection and the One Day side.

Congratulations to Adam and Lauren on the birth of Hudson. The Parkfield nursery is filling quickly.

Finally a Merry Xmas as well as a safe, happy and prosperous New Year to everyone associated with the Parkfield Cricket Club. I look forward to seeing you all again in early January. Round 7 on January 12th, The Parkfield Saloon on January 19th, Past Players day January 26th and Dom's Day February 17th.

Dags Parkfield President

Player Profile: Tony Payne

Name: Tony Payne Nickname: Payney Age: A very young 43. Suburb: Noble Park North Significant Other: My beautiful wife Tracey. Batting / Bowling Style: Right Hand / Right Arm Position/s Held At Parkfield: President, Secretary and Junior coach. Cricket Awards / Achievements / Premierships: Club Champion, Darren Linton medal, Batting & Bowling Aves. Played in 7 senior Grand Finals for Parkfield and have won them all. How Did I Come To Play Cricket, Or Be Involved In Cricket And For How Long Have I Been Playing / Been Involved: I used to watch my dad play as a kid. Filled in for his D grade side in the Moorabbin Comp twice as an 8 year old and was hooked. Then I started playing Under 12’s for Parkfield. 35 years later and I am still hooked. Inspirations Growing Up: In cricket I used to love watching Greg Chappell bat. Outside of cricket Nelson Mandela is my most admired person by a fair way. Most Memorial Cricket Moment: Winning premierships. That moment when you actually win is indescribable. I have enjoyed winning flags with my dad, brother and some fantastic friends along the way. Really enjoyed the last one when we got to go and watch Turf 3 win straight after the Turf 1 victory. Most Humiliating Cricket Moment: Getting out first ball of the match in under 12’s and throwing my gear all the way off the ground. Glad I grew out of that in a hurry. A Parkfield Moment That You Remember Like Yesterday: Ant Hardie encouraging an old local bloke walking past Parkfield early one Sunday morning to bowl to him after an all nighter and then being unable to lay bat on ball. The old bloke then gave Ant an inspirational speech about life thinking he was handicapped. My Biggest Belly Laugh Was When: Has to be when Hubba was captain and the Hallam blokes asked him to remove a massive dog shit from the oval before the game. Hubba replied “get f.....d move it yourself”. We ended up fielding and later on in the day Hubba had to dive to stop a ball at mid on. He slid straight into the shit and spent the rest of the day fielding with a big brown patch on his whites and being covered in flies. / Any game with Johnny O’Hare. If I Wasn’t Playing Cricket: I don’t know. I’ll let you know when I retire. 7

Favourite Trip Away Destination & Why: A few trips to the Kings Cross as a young bloke were a great eye opener and I really enjoyed the Marty Monster tours to the Gold Coast. AFL Team I Support & Why: Richmond. Because that was the only way Dad would take me to the footy as a kid. I Am Currently Driving: 1996 Holden. Tracey gets the good car. The Song / Album Currently Playing In My Car: I like a wide variety of music. Normally just pick a decade between the 1960’s and 2010’s, whatever I feel like at the time, and put it on shuffle. I am Reading: Encouraging Appropriate Behaviour written by Murray Irwan. Murray is Tracey’s cousin and we see him every Xmas. I need to finish it by then because I know we will talk about it. Cats, Dogs or Other & Why: Dog – Cotch, The unconditional love that a dog gives its owners is amazing. Favourite Drink: Riley hopped in my car last Sunday and there was an empty water bottle, an empty Gatorade bottle and an empty stubby on the floor in the front. He picked them up and said “Dad – pre-game, mid game and after game.” These are just about the only 3 things that I drink. 11pm On A Saturday Night I Would Most Likely Be: At Parkfield. David Ford / Glen Brown / Luke Wanless / Phil Drew - If You Had To Be Stuck On An Island With One Of These Guys, Who Would It Be & Why: Fordy or Luke might be the most broad minded and easiest to talk into things. Ha Ha. Mr.Cricket - Which Parkfield Player Is Most Deserving Of This Nickname: Jack Jones or Faron. If They Made A Movie About Your Life, Who Would Play The Lead Role: Some tall good looking bloke that goes grey prematurely. #GeorgeClooney If You Owned A Horse / Greyhound Want Name Would You Give It: Have had 3 dogs called Parkfield Flyer, Parkfield Pirate and Parkfield Champ. Something The Club Might Not Know About Me: In my first ever game for Parkfield in the under 12’s I batted at 11 and bowled last. Even the keeper bowled in front of me. Superstitions: More of a habit than a superstition but left pad on first. My Last Meal & Which Three People Would You Invite: Big Seafood Platter for me and would need to invite 4 people. Tracey, Riley, Maddy & Holly. My Biggest Life Challenge: With 2 pre-teen girls I think it is yet to come. Tips for Young Cricketers: Embrace your club and enjoy your team mates success. Work hard on your game and be the best you can be. Make the most of your opportunities particularly when you get in while batting. A Life quote: “Whether you think you can, or you think you can't--you're right.” – Henry Ford 8

UPCOMING MATCHES Round 6 v Dandenong West @ Parkfield Reserve Round 1 v Mordialloc @ Ben Kavanagh Reserve

The next two games couldn’t be more important for the Turf 1 boys. Currently sitting 6th but just one game behind 3rd spot, the boys host first place Dandy West at home, then travel to second place Mordi for a one day game. With Berwick already defeating Dandy West in there rescheduled Round 1 game, two wins could see Parkfield level with Dandy West & Mordi going into the Christmas break, however two losses could mean a fight for relegation as the bottom 3 teams play each other in the upcoming rounds.

UPCOMING MATCHES Round 6 v Springvale South @ Warner Reserve Round 1 v Mordialloc @ Parkfield Reserve

Just like the ones, Turf 4 has two very important games leading into the Christmas break. Sitting in 5th, Turf 4 is only one game behind top spot and two wins against second and fourth could see them on top at Christmas if other results go their way. After 4 Rounds the undefeated Fountain Gate leads the competition, though this just happens to be the team that Parkfield drew with, in Round 2. Only needing 20 runs to win overnight, Steve and the boys received the news that the covers had not been put down at Max Pawsey, resulting in the league to awarding 3 points to both teams. It will be interesting if this result has a major effect on the final ladder placings come seasons end.

Sitting in second last place without a win, isn’t the best place to be, especially coming up against top spot away, however just three games out of the four, and games against St Brigids/St Louis, Doveton and Cranbourne coming up, an upset win here could still mean big things for D Grade this season.

Upcoming Matches Round 8 v Noble Park @ Pat Wright Snr Oval Round 9 v Hallam @ Wachter Reserve

Under 11’s don’t keep ladders however the combined Parkfield / Southern Pirates team have been playing really well together and have outscored the opposition in nearly every game. It’s really great to see these kids developing their cricket skills each week.

The Faz Files Rumours, Home Truths & Funny Stories

Round 2 Turf 4 Shaun Nugara was keeping and unfortunately wasn’t wearing the appropriate underwear. Which didn’t hold his box properly; this looked like he was walking around with a stiff one. Shaun had enough of people cracking jokes at him and asked the umpire if he could change his underwear at drinks. In which the umpire replied in a Sri Lankan accent “ WHAT ? DID YOU SHIT YOUR PANTS!!!!!” which made us all pour out in laughter.

Gavin Struzaker seems to be a bright young lad who is very active with his sports and your typical teenage boy right? Well things might change after this story. The same game as Shaun’s underwear malfunction, I noticed Gavin righting and hopping around at random and it looked very feminine. This got my attention and wondering what he was trying to do. I asked him what he was doing, In which he replied “I am running after the butterfly”. He saw the confused look on my face then said “I mean a firefly.

Some of you might remember from the previous “FAZ FILES” how teams at training separated trough skin colour, While Rodney bird and Swiz where on the black side. Well this time things have changed, couple of training sessions ago it was everyone vs the sub-continent!!!

Quick question what is Wayne Fernando’s back ground? Ask him if you didn’t already know you will be stunned.

Finally the Faz Files would like to put to bed what really happened after Phil Drew was bowled by Narre North bowler Tayfun Akin in January 2010. After making 108 not out in a one day game (Yes a one day game) against Maranatha Methodist, Phil was promoted to Turf 3 for the following game. After Ryan Nugara departed for 3,8 Phil strolled to the crease with the score on 2/67. Unfortunately for Phil his stay at the crease was short and departed after making no score. As the bowler celebrated, Phil put his hand out and acknowledged to the bowler what a good ball it was (Just Tayfun’s fourth dismissal of the season in eight games). At the conclusion of the game as both teams gathered in the Narre North rooms for a drink, Phil was seen handing Tayfun a drink, obviously deserving after delivering such a cracking nut to a guy coming off a hundred.

Player Profile: Rick Price

Name: Rick Price Nickname: Birdman, Birdy, Bird (the real Birdman!) Age: 37 Suburb: Noble Park Significant Other: Chris Batting / Bowling Style: Good junior bat, senior spastic bat/ Right hand used to be fast but age and fitness catching up Former Clubs: Is there another club?? Position/s Held At Parkfield: Wicket taker, Beer drinker, oh and coached the U/17s in 2007 Cricket Awards / Achievements / Premierships: Too many to list but I’ll give you the main ones. Senior cricketer of the year, numerous bowling trophies, 1995 Turf 3 flag, 2001 Turf 3 flag, best bowling figures: 8 for 53 and 7 for 23 and while we’re at it 6 for 33 in the 2001 grand final at Parkfield and of course my most prized possession Life Membership at Parkfield. How Did I Come To Play Cricket, Or Be Involved In Cricket And For How Long Have I Been Playing / Been Involved: A few boys including my best mate where talking about going to training in Grade 5 and I decided better playing proper cricket than continuing to dominate in the driveway, been playing at Parkfield ever since. Most Memorable Cricket Moment: It’s a toss up between Dom Mantella bowling a guy to win the game when we only made 69 and bowled them out for 67 against their firsts when we were given no chance of winning (I took 7 fa). Dom was one of the greatest guys I met at Parkfield and that game meant as much to him as it did to me and the rest of the team. The other was telling Mick Hardie I was spent and had nothing left and told him I’m going to bowl an inswinging yorker and if this doesn’t bowl him then you’re going to have to bring someone else on but true to my word the ball was the best I’ve ever bowled and yorked him between his legs to take out middle stump to win the grand final at Parkfield reserve.

Most Humiliating Cricket Moment: Back in the mid 90’s just before I was about to go out and bat in turf 1 I realised I dropped the box in and it fell to my ankles, to my dismay I realised that I’d forgotten my jocks so I ran out to Chris and asked her what she was wearing, she told me her bikini bottoms so I went out and batted in white bikini bottoms with a red rose on the arse! Also we used to wear unisex jeans (Levis 501’s) and after cricket I was in the back bar having a beer and when I went to get my pot filled I pulled out money from my pocket to pay for it and out flew a handful of tampons.... well use your imagination of me picking them up from the ground while I was trying to explain to the boys why they were in my pocket..... My Biggest Belly Laugh Was When: In the juniors at noble park high school one day Sleethy, Mamsy and Jamesy bashed them around all day, in the mean time Damien Jones sat there for the majority of the day padded up and ready to go, with only 3 balls remaining in the day – Jonesy cracked the shits and said “If there’s not a wicket this ball I’m taking the pads off!” – true to his word there was no wicket so the pads came off with 2 balls remaining. Well, you would never guess it but next ball there was a wicket we all yelled at him to get out there with a bat, gloves and box and NO PADS. He ran out there in a fluster, the last ball of the day was bowled and hit him dead on the shin which must have killed, the opposition appealed and the umpire raised his finger. I laughed for 3 days, it was hilarious...... A Parkfield Moment That You Remember Like Yesterday: Block (Travis Green) fitting $3.80 of 20 cent pieces in his foreskin and then getting us to pull his arm like an old poker machine, funny part of that was that for the rest of the night every bloke would give and receive those 20 cent pieces over the bar for the rest of the night. Another was when, after the 2001 premiership mild mannered Darren James volunteered to lay on the ground so the stripper could have her way with him and got the candle too close to his wheels setting his pubes on fire. Jamesy thought it was great until I told him to look down and when he did he started whacking his wheels trying to put the fire out. If I Wasn’t Playing Cricket: My body would be in much better knick! Favourite Trip Away Destination & Why: Albury because enjoyable, everythings close, Albury Cups fun and not far from anything. The bus ride on the way up is always good fun. Favourite Trip Away Room Mate: Hubba for many reasons but one is when he wore the broken toilet seat in the shower and was drinking out of the lid! AFL Team I Support & Why: Richmond because my sister stupidly knitted me a scarf in high school and put in on my cot – bitch! I Am Currently Driving: A car that runs...I hate cars.... The Song / Album Currently Playing In My Car: Around here, Counting Crows 28

I am Reading: The Winning Post Cats, Dogs or Other & Why: Dogs – Benji, hate cats, got a 9.4kg 5 month old baby boy! Favourite Drink: Beer - Peroni 11pm On A Saturday Night I Would Most Likely Be: Old days – at the cricket club drinking beer with lots of people, these days – at home If I Could Be Anybody Else In The World It Would Be: Oscar Dela Hoya David Ford / Glen Brown / Luke Wanless / Phil Drew - If You Had To Be Stuck On An Island With One Of These Guys, Who Would It Be & Why: Phil because I’d need somebody to talk to and if I had to resort to cannibalism there’s enough of him to feed me for at least 2 years before hopefully being rescued. Mr.Cricket - Which Parkfield Player Is Most Deserving Of This Nickname: Tony Payne because he’s the guy that young blokes including myself look up to and will always coach juniors, be there late at night and has been a long time stalwart in the Turf 1 side. If You Owned A Horse / Greyhound Want Name Would You Give It: I do own horses but unfortunately they haven’t yet picked my name out of the hat – “Dancing Hats” If They Made A Movie About Your Life, Who Would Play The Lead Role: Michael Caton – even though I hate guys with moustaches My Earliest Memory: My dad making me lug motors in the trike he bought me up the hilliest part of the driveway into the garage when I was about 4. When I Was A Child: Life was so much easier.... Things You Love: Lollies, horse racing, beer, Chris, Lucas..... Things You Dislike: Cats, guys with long hair, moustaches, girls who refer to their partners as “my man”, feminists..... Things I do To Relax: Holidays, drink beer, play golf, go to the races.... Annoying Habits: Get asked a question that requires only a yes, no or short answer and take 30 minutes to answer it with a few extra stories along the way Something The Club Might Not Know About Me: Not that I can say apart from that I’m an open book  Superstitions: Not superstitious at all. My Last Meal & Which Three People Would You Invite: Chicken Parma, chips and vegies – Kerry O’keefe, Billy Connelly and a naked Daniella Ruah My Biggest Life Challenge: To be a good role model to my son Tips For Young Cricketers: Practice a lot and listen to people with experience whether they are good or not A Life / Cricket Anecdote: Think before you speak My Life Motto: Make the most of your late teens/20’s because after 30 the years race by 29

Cooking With Bob

Baked Potato

Cooking Time

60 minutes

Ingredients (serves 4)

 4 medium sized potatoes  Olive Oil  Sea Salt  500 g of bacon, cut into small pieces  1 large onion, chopped  Tomato salsa  Grated cheese  1 tbsp of sour cream  1 spring onion, chopped

Method

1. Preheat oven to 220C.

2. Gently scrub potatoes to remove the dirt.

3. Prick several times with a fork to allow steam to escape during cooking.

4. Lightly coat potato with olive oil.

5. Sprinkle with sea salt.

6. Bake for approximately 1 hour, until skin is crispy & potato is soft & fluffy on the inside.

7. After 50 minutes add bacon & onion to a frying pan & cook for 5 minutes

7. Using a fork, cut a dotted line across the top of the cooked potato & then squeezing both ends towards each other to open it up.

8. Add bacon, onion to potato and cover with cheese, salsa, sour cream and spring onion

Do not wrap potatoes in aluminium foil for baking. Foil holds in moisture and steams the potatoes, resulting in a "boiled" taste and texture. 30

Parkfield’s Past A Trip Down Memory Lane

The month leading up to Christmas has been a very successful time for Parkfield Cricket Club over the past eight seasons. Over this period our Turf 1 has played 10 games for 9 wins and just the 1 loss, which happened to be last year’s final over loss to Hallam. Since 04/05, we have played 9 different clubs, with Keysborough the only club we have played twice for two wins.

Tony Payne has been Turf 1’s most capped player since December ’04 representing Parkfield 10 times, one ahead of Dale and Shane. There have been 35 Parkfield players who have taken the field for Parkfield during this time. Dale has lead Parkfield 7 teams during and has a near perfect record with just the one loss. Hubba and Spolly have also captained Parkfield during this period for perfect records.

Dale also leads the way in the run scoring department making 310 runs during December. Dale has averaged nearly 35 during this period though this doesn’t come close to Spolly with a Parkfield December average of 127 and this is before his 88 not out against Doveton last week. Once again Parkfield champion spinner Shane Doig has continued to dominate the wickets column with 28 in 9 matches during December. Daniel Ferguson is next with 18 victims at an impressive 8.9 runs per wicket.

In the field Honey Hands has taken 9 scalps behind the stumps which isn’t as great as it seems, as this is from 8 games, though many of the bowlers wickets in December have been unassisted. What is impressive is Chris Branch’s 6 dismissals that come from just one game.

Focussing away from Turf One there have been some other performances to take note during December with none more special when the Hardie boys (Mick & Nicholas) combined for 253 runs in B Grade against Coomoora in the 05/06 season.

There have also been some great efforts from current Parkfield players while playing for other DDCA clubs in December. Travis Fonceca took 3 wickets for Buckley Ridges against HSD and Terry Sturzaker took 3/27 against Parkfield in December ’08 which included bowling there E Grade captain Swiz first ball. 31

Trip Down Memory Lane takes a look at the Round 5 Turf 1 match between Parkfield and Buckley Ridges at Park Oval. This game is remembered for two reasons, Fergie taking a Turf 1 Hatrick and Payney making a century in the run chase. Doigy relives this great December day for Parkfield.

SHANE DOIG’S ACCOUNT OF THE GAME

I remember this game for 3 reasons, 1 Fergie’s hatrick, 2 Tony’s 100 and 3 Harry dropping a bloke on under 10 and he makes 123!!!!

Buckley won the toss and elected to bat on a pretty good wicket, I remember Joey hooping it around. Joey and Fergie shared all of the early wickets, before some good batting got them to 4 for 74! Then the greatest Philippine cricketer of all time bowled 3 absolute Jaffa’s in a row, claiming 2 LBW’s and a bowled! I remember trying to catch him after his 3rd wicket, he was off in celebration; the man was pumped!

What Harry will remember from that day was Joey bowling a beautiful outswinger that collected the outside edge of Jayadeva’s bat and slowly made its way to him waist height. As soon as it went in it popped straight out! Instead of being 8 for 74, Buckley managed to find their way to 202 and Jayadeva made his way to 123 and we had a fight on our hands!

Grant and Hubba got us off to a great start and we lost our first wicket at 89 with Milne’s making 48. Hubba followed at 134 with a score of 45 and Fergie did a great job as night watchmen making 35. Manisha and Hammer hardly troubled the scorers and we found ourselves at 5 for 165 we some work to do. Tony and Harry then came together and had a partnership of 105 to finish the job; Harry making 57 but still being negative 66 for the game.

Tony went on to make a wonder 104 on the ground he loves (Park Oval)! I sometimes wonder the numbers he would have produced if he played there every second week! For me the feature of his innings was the footwork he showed against 2 quality spinners! Constantly getting to the pitch of the ball and crushing balls through cover to the boundary either along the carpet or in the air. Absolute pleasure to watch some great stroke play and old fox score a 100!

Parkfield Funnies

Fordy and Swiz have been working hard off field to bring in new sponsors to Parkfield for this season and the club is appreciative of their work. The club would also like to acknowledge the companies who have dona ted money or gift vouchers this season. However one company took the slogan ‘Every little bit helps’ a bit too realistic. When Swiz received a return envelop from a company he just thought the club was receiving another sponsor and he was right. However he was a bit surprise of the contents, a business card and a five dollar note. So to TCKG Complete Bookkeeping Services of Dandenong North, we thank you for your ongoing support of our cricket club.

Swiz Says...

Every Parkfield player knows the feeling of a bad beat, some more than others, however nothing compares to some of the following hands.

Anyone who has Four Aces would be feeling pretty good about themselves until you realise you have lost to a straight flush. I guess the only consolation would be, if you’re going to lose, it may as well be to the best hand, still....

Straights and Flushes and solid hands however they don’t compare to Four 3’s. Though O’Dea can count himself real lucky after he rivered this hand!

7 - 2 Off-Suit, the worst of all hands in poker, however this has been played very well after Sammy folded his Ace-6. With his opponent having a possible flush or trips, folding wasn’t the worst decision but that wouldn’t make him feel any better after seeing 7-2 on the other side on the table.

The look on the players face says it all. Robl pushes all in with Four 9’s and Lewis makes the quick call with his Four Queens. I guess that’s Poker....

Wow....What a flop. Queen, 10 and Ace of Diamonds. Especially enjoyable for Tony G who has King and Jack of Diamond. Only problem is he doesn’t get paid off for this fantastic hand and receives the $8,500 that was in

the pot pre-flop.

Everyone goes in Pre-flop and turns over their cards. Pocket Kings, Pocket Aces and Pocket Kings. No guessing which player walked away with the chips after this hand.

His one for the odds book. What

are the chances of Ace, Two,

Three, Four and Five being dealt

as the community cards and all

being the same suit? You have to

feel for anyone who made the

flush only to watch the next cards

make flushes for everyone else.

Let’s finish off with this one. You hit the Full House on the Turn and would be feeling really good about the hand, that’s until the river when your opponent hits his straight flush - OUCH!
