Our first big event for the year is getting closer with the Seafood night set down for Saturday REVIEW - ROUND 2 I felt that this draw has been a good confidence booster, now we just have to take that forward into this weeks match against the undefeated A2 – ROUND 2 VS OLD SCOTCH AT WALKERVILLE Gepps Cross. Good work Lads – Man of match Paul Reid. Well after week one being washed out the game Scores: Walkerville 8/241 (P Reid 80, A was turned into a 50 over one day game and after Dichiera 31 no.) drew Old Scotch 241 (L loosing the toss it looked like being a long 50 Panzarino 4/22, N Cheary 3/52). overs with both opening bowlers Miller & Cheary being smashed to the on numerous occasions within the first 5 overs. Old Scotch were 1-60 off 8 overs until Cheary bowling his first 10 straight over spell since he was 13 grabbed 3 ending with figures off 3-53.

Through the middle overs once again medium pacer Leo was bowling exceptionally well with a ten over spell with fine figures of 4-22. At the other end first gamer Craig Cowland bowled a fine 6 over spell not picking up a but did the job of bowling to the off side field.

In the last 15 overs Old Scotch had a bit off fun with balls flying over the boundary on numerous occasions. Old Scotch’s innings ended all out for th Nick ‘The Scout Master’ Cheary in action on his 241 in the 50 over which was a good way to taking 3/52 for the A grade team. considering the start they had. At the change of innings I asked one thing and that was for us to bat the 50 overs and we would win the game.

We started of well with Duncan and Cheary putting on 31 before some confusion or maybe some slow running by Cheary saw himself run out for 19. Pete Sarson looked like continuing his good form from game one but was bolwed for 16 with B.Duncan soon following for 23. Mark Reid couldn’t repeat game one, with a ball keeping low and rattling the stumps and suddenly we were 5-96 looking in trouble.

A game breaking partnership between P Reid and D.Powell was a delight to watch Dan turning the strike over and Paul smashing the ball to all parts Craig Cowland sends down a thunder bolt of the ground. All off a sudden we were back in during his marathon 6 over spell. the game requiring just over a run a ball, another good partnership between Reid and A.Dichiera (31) placed us right back in the game with Reid well caught at mid wicket for 80. This left roughly 23 runs from 18 balls with first gamer Cowland (7) and Ant at the crease both turned over the strike with Ant finding the boundary bringing it down to 11 runs from the last over. It then was 4 to win off the last ball with Ant finding an edge to fine leg with no fielder and the boys dashing through for 3 leaving the game stranded in a draw. It was a very good effort to see guys other than Medium pacer Leonardo Panzarino shows the B.Duncan and M.Reid contribute and prove that style that claimed 4 wickets for the A grade. we can hang in and fight games out all the way to the end.

Ben “Bumpkin” Duncan tucks in his shirt as the BI – ROUND 2 VS AHOS AT AHOS – umpire directs another plane to land on After the first week was washed out we ventured Saturday! to the sandy beaches of the Adelaide High School for a one day game. We had to wait for the beach volleyballers, I mean juniors to finish to get a car park space as $59 a ticket was far too much for the boys to risk. The skipper again went against his better judgment and called heads and again won the toss and elected to bat. The new combination of Matho and young speedster Jimmy at the top got us away to a steady start (nothing of the bat, but the AHOS keeper helped us out with 8 byes in the first 2 overs – big night the night before). Jimmy blazed early and was caught at mid off bringing big CJ Jervies to the wicket. With his new Kookabura in tow CJ began to swipe the ball all over the park unfortunately even with his Mark “Chopper” Reid makes a valiant attempt exceptional power the ball was eaten up by the at a stumping against Old Scotch. “quick” sandy beaches of AHOS producing singles here and there. To AHOS’s credit they played their oval very well, bowling straight and setting the field back meaning both Matho and CJ had to take risks to score runs. At drinks after 25 overs we were 1/42 and way behind our targets however we had wickets in hand and the Jaques Kallis of Walkerville was still at the crease. To everyone’s joy straight after drinks, Matho who broke his bat earlier in the day (it wasn’t from creaming the ball to the boundary) was dismissed for a blistering 9 off 26 overs as Pete’s brother Mick strode to the wicket, there was much anticipation as Pete’s brother has been in great form scoring 88 last week against Unley………oh Paul “Wooly” Reid on his way to a “man of the yes, sorry that was actually Pete, Mick was in match” performance 80. great form last week leading the runs however he didn’t trouble the scorers this week (first time in his career). The young wippet “Jonothan” Fuller stepped to the mark and spread wings between the wickets turning 1’s into 2’s, he was only there for a short time but our run rate spiked to 2.05 up from 1.85.

Both Leaky and Moose who had umpired The game was played in good spirits and was a faultlessly came in for a spell as it looked like credit to both teams with the AHOS guys fully they may be required as the overs were running deserving their victory as they dominated from out. Young Liam came and went however ball one!! Walkerville’s very own South African allrounder found support in the form of Subway Benny Nicol Scores: Walkerville 120 (C Jervies 71) lost to fresh from his Sandwich Artist duties, they piled AHOS 7/199 (S Mathieson 4/43, J Plaistow on the runs together as we rocketed past 100 2/37). runs in the 42nd over. CJ’s effort finally took it’s toll after a few sixes, fours and a lot of singles as B3 – ROUND 2 VS HOPE VALLEY AT ST. PAULS – he feathered one to the keeper and in Adam As the two teams stood around the turf wicket Gilchrist style, departed for a stylish 71. Subway area of St. Pauls school it was decided that we Ben gutsed out his innings for a handy 13, but big should toss to see who was doing what.

Our came up trumps we decided to bat and Bruce bowling is our strength but with only 120 on the Magnum PT as in public transport as that is how board it was going to be tough just like trekking he and Mal got home from the Sussex the week through the Sahara.

However AHOS steadied and shortly after victory We thought we were about 30-40 runs short of was there’s as the sands of time ran out for the what would have been a good total. So Mal fired Cats.

I’ve been practicing and practicing in the mirror every night and I reckon I’m pretty close however there was one scene in the film where he was challenged by his nemesis “Hansel” ,Ben has to get his underwear out from underneath his trousers without taking them off. He fails miserably however I reckon that’s how he came up with “Blue Steel” the moment he realised he failed.

Hello my fellow man, I find it amazing that in this day and age where a black man from a multi racial up bringing can be the leader of the most Craig Cowland – thought me was the best powerful nation in the world and bring a country square leg umpire on Saturday. Just ask him!!! together and all you want to do is segregate because of colour!!! White’s vs Creams, I’ve heard it all before but it was in my youth and in the back blocks of Detroit where colour decided whether you lived or died, my friends!!!! It was a turf war back then my friends, where a red scarf meant you came from the East side and a blue scarf meant you came from the West side. We didn’t worry too much about those guys wearing a purple scarf because we felt they had bigger problems to deal with. Colour mattered then but I’ll be dammed if I’ll Club legend Stef Window was not happy with allow colour to matter now!!!! Through my the umpire’s, even those with a Walkerville devotion to the American people “black or white shirt on. Bad luck Craig! or cream” I am doing everything in my power to make sure people are not labelled because of colour, my friends!! So for all your debate about “White’s vs Creams” its time you grew up as a Sporting Club and embraced all different shades of apparel when running out onto the cricket field, my friends!! For the Ben Duncan’s of this world I have great sympathy for the torment he has had to go through everytime he pulls on the creams. He may be disadvantaged or even slightly unstable but that doesn’t justify him and the other ‘s wearing creams and paying a $2 fine each week, my friends!!!!

It’s time for change my friends I’d like to reflect on one of my great inspirations, the great Dr. Martin Luther King where he stated “We will not be judged by colour, Dan Powell ringing home to let mum know he is but by the content of our character.” ok.
